Welcome to the Q&A Forum

James,

what you could do i just add a section to your homepage stating: Newly Added Content or something like that and their link to the new page using your keyword. We've tried this with some of our clients and it works just fine and besides your not spamming or participating in illegal activities that way.

hope this helps

Kind regards

Jarno

Ryan,

as long as you don't use more then 1 redirect per page not one browser will coze problems.

I had a problem with htaccess once beceause i redirected more then 1 variation of a page to the same new page and that generated errors in Safari, Mozilla and Chrome but not IE 8.x..

You should be fine for now.

Brian,

i build websites with webpages that contain 500+ words or even 1250+ words with keyword density's close to 3 % and above and for the appropriate keywords they all rank #1.

I also feel that you should talk about the things most important to you and stay focused on the subject. Another client of mine mostly talks about car specifics in stead of talking about what the tuning will do for the car. When i correct the page by keeping it on subject he immediatly ranks better.

For my private websites i sometimes have webpages with only 100 words and some with over a 1000. They all are able to rank as high as i want them to. I also see competitors with only 100 words and some images ranking higher then i do for important keywords. I asked myself the same question you did.

My advise: stay on subject. keep your patience and above all: don't dispair. Make sure you talk about usefull information, with some keywords in it and you should be doing just fine

If the site is under 500 pages use the one suggested here, copy the HTML code and use it in a page. That's what I would do.

If the site is over 500 pages I would indeed look for extension, module, widget for your CMS.

I can second that.. same problem...

Hi Ketan,

first let's see if this is correct:

The name of the company consists of 2 separate words combines to one word? Okay. Let's go from there. The problem is that ranking for the 2 words separate from each other has an hole other meaning then when they are combined. Vacuumcleaner is a machine that uses a vacuum to clean but when you search for vacuum cleaner that does not have to mean that you meant a vacuumcleaner. You are searching for something that cleans using a vacuum. (really hopes this makes sense )

You should definitely use the name of the company (combined) since that is the name of the company. You could employ a couple of the words seperatly but I would focus mainly on the combined version. You are trying to brand them right? So it is important that people begin to know the company by it's right name.

Personally I would use that seperate version of the words maybe 3/4 times depending on the page length but focus mainly on the words together. Hopes this helps you a bit.

kind regards

Mozter,

personally i would make it like you said it would be: url:/US/stock-trading-software/supertrader

Don't implement the keyword more then once in the domain name including the extensions and folder because it could be interpreted as keyword spam.

this is what i would do.

Dear Brendan,

this should not make for any problems. We also use it on different websites for theming. Our theme is camping so we use the main keyword/theme word on most pages description which in turn should not be any problem.

To be sure you could always interchange the position of the standard text (if this is not done automatically using a CMS).

So no problem at all.

Dear LGW,

personally I've had a website that got some media coverage and even book coverage by someone. I didn't try to change the keywords used but wanted to see how they would link to me. This happened about a year of 4 ago and since then the branded searches my the company name have risen enormously.

So the best way is to get mentioned in my opinion. If press states also come online and they announce you by your company name with/without website address, then you should definitely see some change in branded search queries or lots more visitors to the page found on that term.

Hope this helps you some.

You could use A1 Sitemap Generator:

http://www.microsystools.com/products/sitemap-generator/

It's 30 days for free but i think it is worth every dollar/euro/pound you spend on it.

It also lets you create lots of differtent sitemaps (HTML/Google sitemaps divided in sitemaps of a 100 links each or one really big one).

Hope it helps you (or someone else)..

kind regards

I totally agree with Paul.

Another thing I noticed on one of my websites: I had the canonical code in the header. Someone copied my entire page and published it to their website (with canonical tag) so the openly told the search engines that my website was the original copy of the content.

another reason why it could work

Jarno

I agree with David,

I would also use a 301 redirect to a new page. You'll catch all the traffic going to the old page that way and also if Google visits it will follow that path. You could then even notice that Google changed the site link for you. It has happened on several occasions.

Mark,

the way i see it you did not over optimize your page for the suggested keyword.

I think the problem my be elsewhere. When i look at the code and the page i really don't think that you over optimized your pages.

Look at this link from opensiteexplorer:

http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.yakangler.com

Look at the link anchor column. Your keyword doesn't even appear here. Kayak fishing doesn't even appear in the first 50 highest ranking inbound links. If i were you i would focus on getting some more links to my site using the keyword you want to rank for. If you can have about 25-50% inbound links containing your keyword you would still be fine (when on the topic of overoptimizing) but i quess you would be in the top 20 of Google then. So start building on your links and shares (facebook and twitter) with your site mentioned in combination with your keyword.

hope this helps

Kind Regards

Jarno

Jazy,,

i noticed this too. Some of the keywords are correct and some are not.  If their not correct I see a difference of about 2 maybe 3 position. What about you?

regards

Jarno

I think you did answer your own question.

Rankings for site:mysite.com keyword is completely irrelevant. You're telling Google to show you the pages of your site with that keyword. It's only an indication for if you are being indexed or not.

So no other questions remain?

Good luck to you

Regards

Jarno

i don't think you have to worry there mark.

If you give a site: command for your website with these search words behind them you literally tell Google to give me all pages from this website that include these words.

This does not mean that all of the pages are the same.

When i look at the first result a see a page about an Okuma Helios fishing wheel. The second page is an overview on pages that have been added in the fishing category.

The 3rd page gives your homepage with an overview on recently added articles.

You do not have to worry about anything

kind regards

Jarno

Mark,

Google still using anchor text to determine what subject your website is about. If all of the inbound links state something other then your primary keyword then apparently people don't think that that's the subject of your website (according to Google).

Over optimizing is overdoiing it. If you are linkbuilding you can easily add some keyword for inbound links, as long as you don't overdo it. So don't make 100.000 links to your site with keyword and only 5 without. If you can find a good percentage in here somewhere you should be just fine.

Hope this helps

Kind Regards

Jarno

Chris,

could be a glitch in the software. Most of the times glitches like this will be fixed in time. I just checked one of my campaigns that was crawled today and  don't have the some problem. Have you first contacted the support desk with this?

Try you're search here: http://moz.com/help/pro maybe support a ticket and get you're answer from the help team.

hi there,

it's actually very simple. You have multiple <title>elements in your code. Fix that issue and your site should pass the W3C.</p> <p>Take a close look at your head and if you have the ability rearrange your data. The cleaner your coding is the easier it is to read.</p> <p>regards</p> <p>Jarno</p></title>

Simon,

do you have any control over your page titles of the markup of the pages?

The best title markup is for this partiular instance would be:

Riedel Glasses | Devlin's Online

Decanters - Riedel Glasses | Devlin's Online

etc.

this will only work if you have any control over your page markup especially the page title, meta description etc.

I'm not very familiar with Shopify but since almost every CMS/Commerce package out their has some way of controlling what is shown on a page I would try something to that effect.

Regards

Jarno
