Help me to understand why this page doesn't rank

[fablau]

Hello everyone.

I am trying to understand why most of my website category pages don't show up in the in the first 50 organic results on Google, despite my high website DA and high PA of those pages. We used to rank high a few years ago, not clear why most of those pages have almost completely disappeared.

So, just to take one as an example, please, help me to understand why this page doesn't shows up in the first 50 organic search results for the keyword "cello sheet music":

I really can't explain why, unless we are under some sort of "penalization" or similar (a curse?!)... I have analyzed any possible metric, and can't find a logical explanation.

Looking forward for your thoughts guys!

All the best,

Fab.

Your page title is 71 characters long. Try erase word “instantly”. You will get title 62 characters long.

In the page's URL no keywords are used.

Optimize images.

Thanks for your reply, but I don't think that'll make any difference. I tried any kind of different title for the past year, and didn't make any difference. Also, have a look at all the sites before us and you'll see they have even longer titles and URLs without keywords inside exactly like us.

So... what else?

[fablau]

Any more ideas? Am I under any Google penalty of some sort (Panda, or what else?)

[fablau]

Well, I am very disappointed that with all the "experts" we have on these forums, nobody is bothering to answer my question above or even just to give a hint. I guess it is too hard to give an answer. If so, I can consider myself an expert too then!

Has SEO lost any hope of rationalizing problems?

I am so sorry to read this, but you have no idea how seriously I have taken any advice I got from people here and anywhere else. I have spent the past 6 years working dozens of hours every day to apply what suggested and to figure this out Panda related problems, and not sleeping at night because of this. How dare you saying that??!! On what basis? Have you looked at my website to understand the work I have put into it to avoid any Panda related issues? I guess not otherwise you wouldn't have posted such a non-sense post. I have applied all and everyone of the tips and advised fixings I got from the "experts", but none of them worked apparently (if I am really still under a Panda penalty, which I strongly doubt at this point).

You may also want to checkout this other thread where I am specifically discussing Panda:

https://moz.com/community/q/panda-rankings-and-other-non-sense-issues

Please, look at the code on my website pages and tell me WHERE you find evidence that I deserve to be nuked by Panda and such because of my "laziness", then I'll keep discussing with you.

PS: Where have I ever "dissed" advice given by people on this forum? Please, tell me, I am curious. I don't think to have ever disrespected people's advice the way you have just disrespected my question herein. I am very disappointed by MOZ if you are really the "Content Director" on these forums.

I've looked at your website for a few hours.  And, given you enough suggestions that I feel justified in making those statements.

[fablau]

Ok, good. Please, tell me where you found issues that I could have fixed with the advice I received on these forums in the past. I can't really find any and that's why I posted this question in the first place.

I don't think though that a comment like yours should be allowed on these forums, mostly from the MOZ staff. In my opinion, that was rude and pretty offensive.

[EGOL]

Fabrizo,

I am a member of Moz, not a staff member.  So my comments are my own and are not approved by Moz.

I don't think that my comments in this thread were rude or offensive.  I am only telling you what you need to know.

If anyone reads a few dozen of your posts they will easily see that you are often rude to the people who try to help you.   People stop providing free assistance when the person asking for help isn't nice.

I am not confusing you with anyone else.

Why are you deleting posts?

[fablau]

I am sorry, but I really think you are confusing me with someone else, I don't think to have been rude to anyone, ever. It's not in my nature. Yours is a strong accusation, so, please, show me where I have been rude on these forums. I am curious.

I'd really like to get back to the topic and stop this non-sense as soon as possible.

From this very thread.   I can get ten more.

[fablau]

That's just the result of my frustration for not having more than a single answer after so many days of opening this thread. I have not offended or dissed anybody specific with that. My intent was just a wake-up call to anyone could bump into this thread.

So, EGOL, please, let's stop here, ok? I am really interested to know if someone else can give me constructive feedback and advice.

Thank you fr your cooperation.
