Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi there,

My opinion on this one:

I just believe your not ranking well on the more competitive keywords for a few reasons:

• Your domain trust is very low because you only have 1 or 2 root domains linking to your website. That's not enough to start ranking well on more competitive keywords. Make sure to work on a strong link profile with more qualitative links (from different sources and root domains). This might be an interesting article to read.

• This remark relates to the previous one but make sure to provide quality content. Content where other websites can link to. You website looks more like a landing page at the moment.

As far as I'm concerned your certainly not penalized by Google.

Hope this helps,

Sander

Hi Roman,

Thanks for your answer!

About the order of the hreflangs, I actually ment inside the Hreflang itself.

Is there a difference if the order of the elements is switched:

or
<link=rel="alternate" hreflang="en-us" href="http://example.com"></link=rel="alternate">

The content is the same, but the positions "href"="http://example.com" and "hreflang"="en-us" are switched.

Do you know if it matters? Which one is correctly written then?

Thanks in advance,
Jens

Two solutions in my opinion:

1. Hide the keywords and place a canonical URL on the existing tag pages to the main tag,category or blogpost pages

2. Keep the tagging and do the same as in situation one (canonical) :D. Just make sure you don't have more URL's with the same article.

Hope you can sort it out.
