Onpage Optimisation
-
Hi Guys,
Has anyone noticed that the onpage rules seem to have changed in terms of what Google is looking for.
I have just been optimizing a client site, I haven't worked on for a year and noticed that the pages I have worked on have dropped since lat week when I finished the onpage. Some of them aren't just 1 or 2 places but literally pages. It can't be links as I haven't even started link building yet. These are the same rules i have been playing with for six years and I don't cut corners with rogue text, or overly optimize for keywords.
I am going to give it till the end of the month and then reverse the changes be interesting to see what happens.
Kind Regards
Neil

Yeah! just ran another report and now they have all changed again!!. Definitely reckon its having a dance!!

Ha, for an industry that publishes so much information, the basics have not really changed at all.

Looks like the "Google Dance" it's now 78th.
Thank you Marcus, thought I was going to have relearn everything!!!

Hey Neil, changes are never that huge and dramatic and to be blunt, things are pretty much the same on page (give or take) that they were 12 years ago when I first started this game.
It's possible you may have another problem here - do you know what the client has been doing for the last 18 months? Any link building? Is there any thin or duplicated content?
This could be a rough gig as the client will want to hang this on you but it could be something else entirely.

How to optimise a page for a regional search without it looking clumsy?
What's is the best way to go about optimising a page for a regional search phrase. E.g. 'Physiotherapy CITY' and keep the text looking natural and not manipulated? Previously I've added the search phrase 'Physiotherapy CITY' to TITLE and H1 but this can look clumsy when used in the H1 tag. If I grade a page using MOZ on-page optimisation it will suggest I add the search phrase to the H1. What the recommended way of doing regional on-page optimisation?

Onpage SEO before Offpage?
Hi there, I want to ask why should a website first have Onpage optimization and after that Offpage optimization or Link building/earning? I have read that this is better, even obligatory in many articles but I am not sure for the reason and benefits of that. Can at least social media optimization start at the same time or at the middle of the Onpage optimization?

Onpage optimization different outcomes for keyword with or without accent
I am a little bit confused with the results of the onpage analysis. I am trying onpage optimization for a spanish word which has an accent.. The results differ from Grade A, if i use the keyword with an accent, e.g. ropa premamá (the spanish word for maternity wear) to Grade C if I run the report without the accent ropa premama. I assume that most users will rather search for the keyword without accent. Would this mean that I need to change my keyword to non-accent or doesn´t it matter?

Title, other html tags not showing on onpage reports
Either something is seriously wrong with my website or seomoz is not analyzing my site correctly. When I view the source code for my site (www.myfavoritetoys.com) I clearly see elements such as page title, h1 tags etc. However, on the onpage reports seomoz says these elements are missing. I am not seeing any meaningful data in the reports because it isn't analyzing correctly. Please help!
