Hi, Can anyone please tell me why this site is ranking higher than my site?

Competitor: www.lacollectionservice.com

In this case, it is not about the "website".   In this case it is all about the business.

*  They arrived at the fight (on the web) 13 years ahead of you and have been in business since 1975.

*  They are a more mature business with strong industry recognition and lots of mentions.

*  They have well-known leadership with lots of mentions.

*  Visit their "about us" page and compare.

If this company ever figures out how to run a good website you are really in trouble... better beat them now while they are in low form.

If you want to improve your site... get rid of all of these tag pages... they all have identical content.... they are sucking your power and could be getting you in trouble with panda.  Take a look at the three URLS below and compare them.  Should tell you why google hates these pages and maybe your website.   You have LOTS of these pages.

Hi EGOL,

Thank you for this. I have 96 tag pages should I get rid of all of these and do 301?

Tag pages can be valuable if they are unique and substantive.

If your tag pages are all short like these then I would 301 them.  You also might be able to disable them in your content management system.

I don't use tag pages.  Instead my blog has a homepage, post pages and hand-built category pages that are outside of the content management system.
