  Swati Badoniya: Hi +Jim Munro ;Thank you so much for your earlier reply.
  First of all I did on page seo for both site and then after I did Off page seo like article submission, social bookmarking, press release submission, content sharing submission, little bit social media, web 2.0 submissions. You know there is no any crawling error on webmaster tool of both sites.

  Jim Munro: Swati, I am not an expert, you'll have to wait for the guys tonight, but at first glance, those unrelated subdomains on OrangeMantra cannot be helping, especially those with Lorem Ipsum. If it were me, I would remove the Lorem Ipsum subdomains from DNS immediately. Use another domain for your dev sites.

  Swati Badoniya: +Jim Munro ;Thanks for your reply but you know I didn't get you, can you please explain me the term "subdomains on OrangeMantra cannot be helping, especially those with Lorem Ipsum"

  Jim Munro: googlebot sees subdomains similarly to folders so subdomains like these are diluting your message. It's generally believed that words like Lorem Ipsum and Under Construction are signals to googlebot that a site is not ready for indexing.

  Folders like http://orangemantra(dot)com(dot)au/everdry/2014/09/ do not help you either, I would clean these up today. I noticed you have tag pages indexed as well, I think you should noindex these, but follow the advice given by the panel tonight.
