Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you for the information, I will start working on that.

Thank you,

So not much than i can do other than getting links that my France page, I guess ... or ask the the links that go to my page with the anchor text bike tours in France or similar to go my France page, correct ?

Thank you for the suggestions. I have used related searches and the keyword planner my self and I have noticed it work but not for every keyword.

Usually what I do I remove all the expressions with my keyword in it and usually find other expression to include...

By the way when you give the examples of "burgundy by bike" or "bicycle touring in Burgundy".

Does the expression need to be the way you write it and can the words be separated through the text ?

Thank you

Hello,

I have an issue with one my pages. I have a page about "Bike tours in France+ exclusively that has been existing for almost 8 years. Since day 1 I changed the web address a few times but I have the necessary redirect (actually only 1).

I can't find this page  (pretty much since day 1) on the keyword "Bike tours France" and I am wondering why ?

However, I can find my homepage rank on "Bike tours France" even though it doesn't only talk about "Bike tours in France" instead of my page which is only about "Bike tours in France". I am wondering why only my homepage shows and not the other one. For information, I have about 30 % of my external links that say Bike tours France and that go to my homepage because when I started my website I was only doing "Bike tours in France"

Could google say we don't care about your page about "Bike tours in France" because you got so many links to your page with the keywords "Bike tours France" and could it be why I don't see it rank. However, it is index but doesn't show up in search results ?

Or could it be the fact that made many content changes over the years on this page and that google is saying I will rank you but it will take years because of so many changes.

What can I do to make my page about "Bike tours in France" appear in search results for the keyword "Bike tours in France".

Thank you,

Hello,

I checked moz content suggestions and for one of my keywords “Burgundy bike tours”. It gives me expressions such as “Burgundy France” and “Burgundy wine”.

My question is whether I should include the exact expression “Burgundy wine” in a sentence or if include burgundy somewhere in my text and wine somewhere else if it is fine ?

PS : What is the real difference between marketmuse and moz ? and why do they sometimes give different suggestions ?

Ok that is good to know, I will wait and see if this is what happens.

Thank you,

I am considering js it because I am afraid that PR leaks thru it ... should I be ?

Thank you for the information.

My homepage was at the same spot. So, should I expect an increase in ranking for my homepage and blog pages in the next few weeks ?

That appears on the top of my website ?

Hello,

I have noticed that if publishe a webpage that google has never seen it ranks right away and usually in a descend position to start with (not great but descend). Usually top 30 to 50 and then over the months it slowly climbs up the rankings.

However, if my page has been existing for let's say 3 years and I make changes to it, it takes much longer to climb up the rankings

Has someone noticed that too ? and why is that ?

Hello,

I have my homepage that has been existing for 10 years that is ranked in 18 th position on google for the keyword luxury bike tours. This homepage doesn't have any external link or internal links saying luxury bike tours and nowhere in the title or on the page do I have the word luxury. I only have the words bike and tours.

I created a blog page 24 hours ago that has the word luxury, bike and tours in the title and it is ranked in 19 th position just behind my homepage.

I am wondering how it can be there and my homepage just be one spot above with all the history and linking it has ?

Is it due to the fact that I have the word luxury in the title ? Is it just because my internal linking structure is correct and this blog page is brand new and will my homepage rank higher in the near future but see that I just redid the structure I need to wait a few months ?

Thank you for your quick and detailed reply. It confirms what I thought.

Thank you for you detailed reply. I agree with you but those are thing that you only do once you are ranked on the 1 st page and want to decrease your bounce rate and increase your user engagement on the page. I know I could do it right away but would rather wait to see where I rank 1 st.

Hello,

I was watching a whiteboard friday saying the more comprehensive your content is the better you will rank,.. but I don't entirely agree with that because to me it means that in order to beat your competitor you need to write more than they do (or answer questions that people are asking typing this query), that doesn't sound right, does it ?

For example it means that for a query like "Italy bike tours" if you have on your page just the name of the different destinations your offer and your competitor has more destinations + the price of the trip listed and the level or each trip, he will rank in front of you ? I have a major doubt on that but maybe I am wrong...

My guess is that in an imaginary world where your page has the the same exact PR as your competitor if you are more comprehensive you will rank higher but only is that case, isn't it ?

Thank you,

Hello,

I am in the travel industry and I am currently building the same website (different domain names), one for the US and one for the UK (same website design). They will both features the same content (itinerary, activities) on the page with 2 exception, the 1 st one is that I will use different hotels for my uk clientele and for my US clientele and on the UK page I will use the word "holiday" in the UK and the word "vacation" in the US.

Can the fact that I do the same "itineraries" and use the same text on 95 % of the page hurt my ranking in one country or another ?

Thank you,

Is it possible and recommended to host a website in Switzerland ending in.com to rank in the United States ?

Or is it better to host it in the country you are targeting ? I know in WMT you can choose the country you want to target but is it as efficient as hosting it on a server located in the country ?

Thanks,

Thank you for all your help, this answers my questions.

Thank you Chris for your detailed reply. This confirms what I thought.

I just have one more 2 more questions.

1. Concerning the delay, once my page is indexed and ranked is it the final ranking that I see right after the page was index  (not taking potential future links and social shares into account) or is there a 2 to 3 months delay and the rankings climb slowly overtime ?

2. In terms of images, can google detect if I use tock images or my own images ? Is one better than the other ?

Thank you,
