      Our site http://villasdini.com is offering beach villas on sunny Diani beach in Kenya.

      I have a category with beach villas in Diani beach which I want to be shown in serp if somebody search for Diani beach villas, or Diani beach hotels, Diani beach accommodation etc.

      I have also category with small boutique hotels, which I want to be shown in serp if somebody search for Diani beach villas, or Diani beach hotels, Diani beach accommodation etc. Should I also include Diani beach in titles?

      Will that not be too much of Diani bech in titles? I am afraid I have anyway already too much of "Diani beach" keyword and perhaps I am even punished for it as I can't rank for this keyword at all almost a year:-( I also want to rank on Diani beach itself and I have created Diani beach page which I want to be shown in serp when somebody search for Diani beach.

      I am kind of getting crazy of this:-( Any advice what I am doing wrong and what strategy I should rather do?

      Thank you very much,

      Iris

        Iris,

        You may be keyword stuffing... I haven't read through your entire site, but do be careful. One of the best sayings someone ever taught me was: "When you are doing SEO for keywords, be good at it - don't be great". It's strange, but it makes sense. Don't over do it.

        Instead, consider exploring other avenues such as link building. I've noticed you only have 8 unique domains pointing to your site. The resort / hotel industry is very difficult to compete in, so consider building a better link profile.

        Besides the keywords, there could be other reasons you are not ranking.

        Eli

          Thank you very much Eli Overbey

          I am pretty sure I have there too much keywords like beach etc.

          I guess I will need to work on better links, but where can I get such links? Who is normally linking to a website offering villas in Kenya? It is not a tutorial or something educational.

          I am quite desperate of this:-(
