Google displaying the homepage instead of the landing page
Yes your landing page most likely does not have as many backlinks as your homepage. I think you would have to get some powerful back links going to your landing page ideally you would use interlinking from your more powerful pages to your relevant pages that lack links. If you are fooling around with the content of your website trying to get one page to rank over another https://marketing.grader.com/report/www.myoptimind.com/overall http://tools.quicksprout.com/analyze/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myoptimind.com%2Fweb-design-services-philippines#!/ Dynamic URLs were found on the page. Contact Us - http://www.myoptimind.com/?page_id=105 There is a problem with your site is not a responsive website at all it will not fare well on mobile devices. The size of the landing page is over 3 MB making it unfortunately very slow as well. I do not know the speed of your site in the Philippines however you can use a program like this webspeedtest.org Host your site from a server that is close to your target market. If your server is far away for good reason use a CDN and optimize it. Here is a hosting company in or near the Philippines your site loads in 9 seconds out of Argentina and the second pass when it should be compressed and cash it runs 8 seconds http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140623_3C_681/ Load TimeFirst ByteStart RenderDOM ElementsTimeRequestsBytes InTimeRequestsBytes InFirst View 9.928s 1.296s 0.000s 4649.928s 781,518 KB 16.225s 1161,691 KB Repeat View 8.671s 1.150s 0.000s 4648.671s 781,596 KB 14.808s 1171,767 KB fix this by optimizing your site http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/ http://www.terremark.com/data-centers/latin-america/ http://www.duplika.com/hosting-premium

Question about News search result
For #1 The problem may be related to the link/news feed CEBU DAILY NEWS http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/category/cdn that's in the top right navigation. So you may want to investigate that. Using the News sitemap? Check the <name>tags there as well. Failing that try reporting it here: http://support.google.com/news/publisher/bin/request.py?hl=en&contact_type=report_issue_content&rd=2</name> For #2 Google News runs on a different algorithm and also has different ranking factors.

Newer sites with low domain authority is ranking as #1\. How can this happen?
Hi Wendy, Since it sounds like you were hit by Panda first, that's where I would start. I can't be sure that it's a factor, but I found a lot of "thin" pages on your site like: http://www.myoptimind.com/megaworld-corporation-uptown-bonifacio-website/ http://www.myoptimind.com/why-custom-web-design-is-important/ You might benefit from going through your site and adding value to pages like this, or going through your analytics to see what pages don't recieve many visits and/or have low engagement, and address these pages first. If you're using WordPress, you might also consider cleaning up your tag pages such as this one: http://www.myoptimind.com/tag/e-commerce-tips/ As far as backlinks, I did find a number of low quality directory and comment-style links pointing to your site. Have you received any messages from Google Webmaster Tools or filed a reconsideration request? Additional resources: http://moz.com/webinars/advanced-wordpress-seo

Is the on page optimization tool not working?
When you use the on-page grader from "within the campaign" (sub-navigation below the campaign name, you'll see a drop-down of your keywords)....it updates once a week, but not instantly. If you go to the page grader tool from "research tools" up in the main nav, you'll have the option to manually enter any keyword - and this is where your grades will update instantly. But just know that for the grades to be saved and updated weekly in your campaign, you have to grade from "within the campaign." As for keywords maybe optimize for "digital marketing phillipines" and "phillipines digital marketing agency" - having your keywords in the title is pretty darn important. This way you can target both keywords while only having your location in the title once...hope this helps.
