Whats next after I rank for many keywords?
-
I have a client who came to me wanting to know what's next for her as she already ranks in the top 5 for hundreds of keywords. She is right, her rankings for her niche are excellent and there are no relevant keywords for her to try and go after. What would be next to generate traffic?
p.s She also has links from just about everyone in the industry that's relevant
There has to be more "tricks" to seo besides keywords and link building

got it, thanks for your feedback
-
It was very serious rather than sarcastic. If you used some of the typical SEO tricks the damage done to your site could really cut your business and result in you laying off employees.
We have no idea of your level of knowledge. So it is better to warn you about tricks than to see you return here crying - even if you don't like it.
-
thanks, I understand the other ways to build traffic, looking for more SEO strategies here .
-
I don't think his comment is well said at all, I think it is sarastic. As I said in my question, I am looking for more of a solution than keywords and linking, I am not looking for black hat "tricks" just other strategies. He took a word in my question and spun it in a negative fashion

Does traffic make your client money, or do conversions make your client money? Are the people doing what you want them to once they get on the site? Optimizing for conversions may be the next thing to focus on -- make use of that traffic you're already getting.

I would try to rank next in top 3 for those hundred of keywords by deploying some fine tuning.
Next I would go for long tail on a very wide range especially if it's related to shoes.
My 2 cents.
-
well same here i agree with EGOL and will not try any "tricks" this days.
if she already have links from all relevant sites go to the next step and get her more customers by starting social media marketing.
you can also just to feel that you are doing the job for her and it will also help get a press out there and talk about the new models she have.
hope that help

Sponsor local races
- Marathons
- half marathons
- 10k's
- 5k's
- Tie these all to charities
- Again Press releases online but sent to local papers.
This will get you more Branding Benefits and closer to the Top Spot.
-
Well said, from what I've gathered here, tricks get you into long term trouble. It has to be about the long term versus the right now.
-
If your client is already ranking extremely well for that many keywords I'm sure she is already incorporating these tactics which are basic.
- social media: Especially Google+
- Offline tactics with online Press Releases directed to local media for positive exposure on and off line. Which will also help for greater rankings to get towards the #1 spot.
- How are they ranking on the other search engines?
- Info-graphics specific to their industry to be directed to all local bloggers and site owners.
- Brand Building:
- PPC Campaign: It is beneficial to be both in the paid and non paid positions since most people naturally want to click on the non-paid link. This gives you more impressions.
These tactics directly and indirectly add to SEO.
Hope this helps. Goof luck

I wouldn't be looking for "tricks" these days.
-
The difference between "top 5" and "top 3" for hundreds of keywords will probably be hundreds to thousands of visitors per DAY (depending upon the keywords)
-
thanks, good thoughts, but would love more. The industry is shoes BTW
-
#1 for everything is always a start.
Increasing long tail traffic is always an option (assuming you don't already have plenty of longtail traffic).
Depending on the industry it might be an option to increase traffic from referring sites or social media not to mention affiliate marketing.

How to formulate keyword in language that has cases and foreign characters
Hello everybody, this is my first but foremost headache causing question that i can't seem to find answear to for a month already. I live in Lithuania - small eastern European country and my native language has all "fancy" things that one could probably immagine (tenses, cases, compound forms, foreign letters: ąčęėį..., genders, declensions etc.) The problem is: how to formulate keywords correctly for my SEO to get the best results? I'll try to explain my problem in detail by using few different cases on the same aspect: 1. If i'm using keyword in nominative case which is "atvirkštinis stogas" (reverse roof eng.) - i usually can't follow all of the recommendations for SEO: add keyword in topic, follow the keyword rate in text, because the same keyword will be repeated for numerous times but in many different forms because of the nature of language itself i.e. genitive case - "atvirkštiniam stogui", locative - "atvirkštiniame stoge". Even MOZ page analysis doesn't recognize these cases as the same keyword. How about Google? Searching for keywords in different cases also gives slightly different results - some websites drop by 5 - 7 places on google searchpage No.1. Possible solutions: a) Formulate all keywords in text by using only nominative case which would totaly limit writer to a first-former kid writting capabilities and result in nobody reading the text at all. b) Formulate keywords according to mostly used keyword in text, which would affect organic search because everybody is searching for keywords in nominative case. Note that everybody here in Lithuania usually use the nominative case in search window on google. 2. The use of foreign letters (ąčęėįšųž). If we use the same keyword "atvirkštinis stogas", we have only one letter "š" that is causing a problem.

In normal texts we use all of these letters, HOWEVER, nobody is ever writting these letters while searching for keyword in google, so normally they would search for "atvirkstinis stogas" with "s" instead of "š". If you search for these two keywords "atvirkštinis stogas" and "atvirkstinis stogas" you also get slightly different results. Possible solutions: 1. Use keyword with foreign letters and have perversed search results, because everybody will still search for keywords without them. 2. Use keyword without foreign letters which will affect SEO and tell me that I don't have any of my keywords in text, topic, url, etc. Any ideas on how to solve these puzzles? 🙂0 -
Is user engagement a ranking signal?
Read something about user engagement might be a signal that Google uses, along with links and on-site optimisation, to decide if a search result goes up or down. What should I believe and what are the developments in this field?

Rankings Gone? Have I been effected by the Panda/Penguin Update(s)?
Our site www.alphameasure.com has been online since 2005 and currently has a page rank of 4. The site has always ranked on page one or two of Google for our primary keywords (Employee Satisfaction Survey, Employee Engagement Survey, Employee Surveys). I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but now our site is nowhere to be found. I'm thinking our ranking dropped somewhere in mid to late January? We did use an SEO company in the spring of 2012 that went on a link building campaign for us. They added about 450 inbound links over a three month period. Other than that - nothing has really change on the site. We're getting ready to release a new version of our software that was being re-written during all of 2012, so the timing of losing our rankings is just awful. Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated? Thanks in advance,

6 year old Corporate domain lost all rankings on EMD day.
Hello, our company's website goo.gl/7Q56G lost all our rankings after the EMD algo update. Our domain is NOT a EMD. At the same time, I found that we have about 6000 new, extremely low quality spam backlinks with the same anchor text ("loan"). I saw some of those a few weeks ago, but didn't really pay much attention because I didn't believe Google would think we build those. I didn't get any messages on webmaster central. If this occurred with the EMD update, is it because of the low quality backlinks? Most of the real spammers, brokers (we are the actual funding source) are now dominating the top 10 for our main keyword "merchant cash advance". We were in the top 10 for the past 4 years, why would we get hit so hard now? I really appreciate your advice.

Ranking factors for national and local
What SEO impact factors am I missing if I am ranked 1st on Google for a keyword, but not ranked local search? The keyword being setup like {"company industry" "location" }. Its ranked 4th when searched on google and the location is specific to the location in the keyword. I've tried to varify that all of my citations are correct and identical. When I compare my sites Domain Authority and links to its competitors, I should be dominating that search. If you guys have any incite it would be greatly appreciated. MADD DOGG

SEO updates and rank changes
We have been updating page titles and meta descriptions for a client (not changing ANY links and the content we are replacing is "fluff," no major keywords or any relevant information) yet in the past few weeks, rankings have plummeted. I used the SEOMoz grader to check and make sure we have the keywords in there, in the right places for the updated page source info, and we're getting A's yet for those same keywords, the website is nowhere to be found. For example for the phrase "organic t shirts," we get an A for this page: http://greenpromotionalitems.com/organic-t-shirts.htm but when searching organic t shirts, no Green Promotional Items... Ideas?
