Branded keyword domain not appearing in Google
-
Hi,
I have a site called www.emv-cards.com but the site has a very poor showing on Google for the search term 'emv cards' and this does not make sense to me. It has position #6 on Bing but is not in Google's top 50.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
regards,
George.

When I take a quick look at the site, I'm seeing very little in terms of unique content. I grabbed a phrase from the first two articles in the news section, and they appear to be copies of other articles. A new wordpress blog nobody has heard of is going to have a very hard time outranking the Wall Street Journal by copying their articles.
Turned around -- why should Google be ranking this site?

Every one knows about the penguin updates therefore we use branded keywords for getting higher priority by search engine. Your keyword is "EMV Cards " you can use different variation of this keyword and one of the most important thing is your targeted keyword is not in H1 tag so add it and also increase keyword density and more fresh content about the "EMV Cards " so after these changes your keyword definitely push-up in search engine ranking.

I think it's because you do not have enough domain strength, domain authority / backlinks etc. I see that the site / domain was registered in March. I would continue to work on content as well as some links/citations and don't do everything / every link with your keyword "EMV Cards". Do variants.

Get some more content on the home page about emv cards than run some campaigns for backlinks like infographics or press releases you shoudl be able to get in the top 3

Homepage and keywords
hello, another problem i am facing is that if i see in my rankings over 90% of keywords are connected with my home page. When i go to moz pro in Page Optimization Score wanting to optimize the page to rank better there are some propositions the issue is that it is impossible to have over 100 keywords in home page title to optimize it better for each one of these. I have more specific build more specific sites for many of these keywords in the site but google continues to rank all those keywords for the home page and not for the more specific page that could also be optimized for every keyword it deals with. In adition the question i posted in moz with url: https://moz.com/community/q/greek-language-distinctiveness is also mainly connected with above issue. Please help thanks

My Meta Description changes when i use different keyword in google search.
Hello everyone, I have a question for the community. I have a website with several articles and news that i manage. I set specific meta descriptions for every page but when i search in google it gives me back different meta descriptions depending on the keyword that i use to search. What i notice is that google looks in my page for the most relevant part of the text that combines with my keyword and gives me back that result. I thought that this only happen when i have an empty meta description. Anyone felt the same ? Best Ricardo www.meuportalfinanceiro.pt

Duplicate content on domains we own
Hello! We are new to SEO and have a problem we have caused ourselves. We own two domains GoCentrix.com (old domain) and CallRingTalk.com (new domain that we want to SEO). The content was updated on both domains at about the same time. Both are identical with a few exceptions. Now that we are getting into SEO we now understand this to be a big issue. Is this a resolvable matter? At this point what is the best approach to handle this? So far we have considered a couple of options. 1. Change the copy, but on which site? Is one flagged as the original and the other duplicate? 2. Robots.txt noindex, nofollow on the old one. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hyphens in Domain Name
I have a client who is a business broker. I have just begun working with them, and they are trying to determine the best domain name to use - they have several. business-broker-alabama.com vs businessbrokeralabama.com Which one of these has more value? I know that search engines have somewhat devalued keywords. The first one probably has a little more SEO value, but is going to be a drag in terms of marketing -- saying "business hyphen broker hyphen alabama" is going to get old for them. Thanks!
