      I would like to rank for Diani beach, unfortunately very unsuccessful over one year:-(. I have on the main menu Diani beach page. Most of my articles is consisting the keyword, would it be smart to link from all that articles to that Diani beach page?

      Any advice on this would be realy great.

        I cant see any significant advantages if you would do that. Its not wrong to set up a few links to that site from your articles but not that much.

        You have to imagine that your site has a certain amount of linkjuice. Everytime you set a link to a different site without the nofollow attribut you pass a little bit of your link juice. So if you do excessive linking from your site to others this makes no sense. Dont get me wrong - you should not use "nofollow" with all your links... its a question of: to which site and how much of your linkjuice you should/want to pass through...

        Furthermore I took a closer look on your text at your main page and as far as I can see you don`t mention the term "Diani beach" there.

        This is not the only and especially not a reliable criteria to rank for your keyword but it would be helpful to use your keyword in your text exactly as you name it. Your term is "Diani beach" not "Diani" or "Beach" ...

        You have a very strong and healthy social media background thats great! Yout texts are good and nice to read... youve done a good job there. Your text (on the main page) is unique... continue things like that.

        What I would recommend you is to build more links. According to the opensitexplorer you don´t have much external links. Try to promote your site with the aim to get linked by sites with similar content.

        The whole thing is a very, very big topic. It`s controversial and there are many, many opinions out there on what might be important to do that your rankings will improve.

        There is not enough time to mention all the aspects but maybe other mozzers will add some helpful infos for you as well?! I hope I could make a useful contribution?!

            You are welcome!

            Maybe one more little thing:

            there is a useful tool for free. Its a german website but you dont need to know the language. 😉

            Just take a look at this keyword density tool (it`s browser based):

            http://keyworddensity.online-marketing-solutions.com

            Paste your text in there and press "Prüfung starten"... what you get is an very good hint about which keywords you`ve focused on (with intent or unintended) - you should reach the green colored percentage. 4% usage of your keyword(s) is a good amount but this is also controversial 😉

            Maybe there is a similar tool in english but I don`t know that... wish you all the best!

              Thank you so much mrcensorious

              I was using some tools also in English(German language is not a problem for me, I have worked several years for a German company based in Cologne. Some best Ice cream is there as well!)

              But they all seem to give different results. I am pretty sure that I have some nasty stuffing most likely on the site. I will try the tool you gave me, I was on look up for a good density tool.

              Thank you very much and have good day!

              All the best
