Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You should not use the same keyword in all title tags. So this would be the wrong way to do things

Springfield IN Dentist | Springfield Dental Care Experts - Dental Surgery

Springfield IN Dentist | Springfield Dental Care Experts - Dental Fillings

For city specific keywords first make sure they get traffic by doing some research. If they do then you can target those kinds of phrases within the site.

If not I would target generic phrases such as "dental surgery" and have locations pages set up to assist with your geo targeting.

What if a city has multiple addresses in that area. One page for that city or a new page for each location within the city?

As of today, my page is now ranking 5th on page 1. It is just bouncing all over the place.

If that is the case, why would this page be penalized? Ive never bought links, the on-page isn't totally

spammy, backlink profile isn't all exact match and is a good mix of anchor text and image links. All of the links are legitimately created.

This page for instance was one of my highest viewed pages, has a low BR, high time on site, etc. So its tailored to what people want when searching for this phrase

If I am penalized then it is absolutely beyond me on why I would be.

I write it all. No messages of concern

Are you sure?

It shows up for

"skyward sword walkthrough" "legendzelda.net"

https://www.google.com/#hl=en&tbo=d&sclient=psy-ab&q="skyward+sword+walkthrough"+"legendzelda.net"+&oq="skyward+sword+walkthrough"+"legendzelda.net"+&gs_l=serp.3...7410.7983.0.8226.4.4.0.0.0.0.100.358.3j1.4.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.rQlX7c8Rr4c&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=97283d9747b20204&bpcl=38093640&biw=1527&bih=899

I will cut back on the phrase walkthrough, but I find it hard to believe that using it in the way I am would cause the page to be penalized. And my other walkthrough pages do not use it like that so it doesn't make sense either.

Is there anything else you can see on the page that would cause this?

I have a site that was rankly very highly for gaming walkthrough phrases. I was ranking #3 for the phrase skyward sword walkthrough

Then it began to drop, despite me building more links (non spammy links) through guest blogs and emailing people requesting they just link to it from their site.

I went in and added more text to the page and it went up a few places but is now gone from the first 5-10 pages.

This has also happened to all of my walkthrough related ranks. My other ranks are still there but these accounted for a large portion of my traffic and is very odd.

My on-page grade is near if not perfect

my page

Some insight would be nice

I am looking for a company or two that serves customers in multiple regions and has their site set up in the best possible way to target those areas.

I would like, if possible, to see an example of a company that has an address in each area served, and one that only has one base location, but travels to serve customers.

Post stuff that would engage them. Tips of the day, related images, pose a question.

Do not make it only about business or links to your site.

If I see a site is linking to my site in an article I will often find a way to include them in one of my updates (if the site is of good quality). Does this count as a link exchange since they are linking to me and I am also linking to them?

Or is that only if it is a sidebar kind of link?

I more mean what is a good example of how to set up the scholarship page for seo. What steps can I take to ensure it is beneficial and effective.

I own a gaming news and walkthrough site and I am interested in setting up  scholarship thing. Now I run this on the side and do not have a ton of money to give out, but I was thinking of a total of 500.

I am just curious on if there is any good setup to go with for seo reasons.

I was planning on making a page like domain.com/scholarship-info

Then having all of the details and on the sidebar linking to several of my important pages.

After that contacting high schools and colleges. Does anybody have advice for this part? Best way to do so?

Any seo advice for the page?

Yea, I am not seeing a way to do this for my clients so I guess it is not available here.

Thanks for the link though

Any word on if this ever launched

and if so how do I enable?

I use Raven Tools which gets its link data from majestic. They are pretty decent. A bit behind but also more up to date than OSE in my experience.

One of my businesses is B2B and I have found that engaging people on LinkedIN is a good way to get people back to my FB page.

I join in a variety of groups on there and just talk to anybody in my market

Click on my username and there will be  PM link in there

Link exchanges used to do a lot. These days not so much. You can still get a benefit from them, but you need to be careful. Don't use the same anchor text, try not to get sitewide footer links, and only do so with highly valuable partners.

I mean if you can get a DA 90 site to link back to your DA 13 site then yea a link exchange would probably benefit you a bit.

But overall 1 way links are the best way to go.

Well, some niches just aren't meant for social activity.

However, you can still succeed with the right content. What exactly are you posting to your page? Try going with some creative content ideas or throwing some contests. If your business is a local company, partner up with some local businesses to  give away gift cards and other prizes in exchange for likes. And then promote that contest through each site.

Try running community events and just stuff that will get people engaged. I know one company that runs a FB fantasy football league.

Your best bet is to just use GWMT for links for now. I tend to use a variety of sources just to get a feel for what is being crawled. It is still good to check OSE, but I would not use that as your primary method if you have to give client reports or anything.
