Hi Chandana,
I agree with Nakul to a certain degree (sounds like a full blow SEO is not in your timeframe though). If I were you I would get an inventory of all of the pages, look at what each page is trying to rank for or at least the most important pages (each page should be optimized for 1 or 2 keywords). Use the google keyword tool to see how many people are searching for these topics. If the number is very high and competitive, try to find a keyword that is more attainable or if nobody is searching for those keywords, find one that can take its place. For instance, if you are trying to rank for tours and entertainment, it will take a LOT of effort to show up in top 100 searches since that is an extremely general and tough keyword to rank for I am assuming. Maybe you should try to rank for something like haunted house tours in massachusetts, etc. Then when you have a good sense of landing page and keywords you can dive right into on page SEO. Optimize meta tags and on-page. While you are waiting to see how those changes affect your SERPs, start link building the right way! Very important to get your domain and page authority up by getting other tour websites and blogs to link to you.
20 days is a pretty slim time-frame but like I said, the quickest solution is to really get organized, optimize on page SEO and work towards getting those high quality links. You can increase traffic by pushing your social programs too!
When Nakul says SEO audit he is saying that you should look at the current website, look at what keywords they are trying to rank for and find out exactly where they are ranking today. Take a look at the domain authority and the links that are pointing to your customers' website and try to increase that number with high quality links (links from related companies with high domain authority.) SEOmoz has tools for you to accomplish all of these things in their resources section!
Good luck Chandana!
Pat

No, I'm sure that Nakul means...
Do a thorough examination of the site. Do research for each page and make sure that each page is optimised towards the keywords you want to rank for. Also conduct an off page SEO analysis.

SEO audit means ,SEOMOZ edit ?

You need to look at what other things are needed to strengthen the pages (On-site SEO) as well as building domain authority so that pages from this site show up in the SERPS. It sounds like your problem could be either of those 2 or a combination of both.
If I were you I would look at the quality of the content, strength of the pages as well as do a complete SEO audit of your client's website to make sure your site is indeed rankable. Try a combination of both the factors and see where you get the most impact.

Removing Low Rank Pages Help Others Shine?
Good Morning! I have a handful of pages that are not ranking very well, if at all. They are not driving any traffic, and are realistically just sorta "there". I have already determined I will not be bringing them over to our new web redesign. My question, could it be in our best interest to try and save these pages with ZERO traction and optimize them? Re-purpose them? Or does having them on our site currently muddy up our other pages? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Why am I not ranking in Google, but I am in Yahoo and Bing?
The website in question is: www.stbarthexclusives.com Our keywords are currently ranking for both Bing and Yahoo, but we're not appearing anywhere on Google. The website is being crawled successfully, but we still don't have any results. I hoping somebody can point me in the general right direction to fix/correct this problem. Additionally, there's a decent amount of "rel=canonical tags" on the website. If that helps your evaluation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

What to do if the wrong page is ranking?
What to do if the wrong page of your website is ranking and you cannot 301 it? Apparently an outsourced company the previous manager hired build anchor text links to the homepage, when those links should have been pointing to a deeper page. As a result, the hompage is now ranking for that term. But I think we can convert a lot more of the visitors if the deeper page is there instead. Obviously, I can't 301 the homepage. What would you do?

Exact keyword URL or not?
Hi all, I have a quick question about the proper use of permalinks. Let's say that I have a website about sports and I want to create an internal page dedicated to shoes. I know that the keyword "shoe" has 15.000 monthly visits, while the keyword "shoes" has 1.000 monthly visits. How do I have to name the internal page? http://www.example.com/shoe or http://www.example.com/shoes (with a final 's')? I would think that by naming the URL http://www.example.com/shoes, the search engine would consider that page for the keywords "shoe" and "shoes", but I am not sure about it. Should I create a URL that only focuses on one specific keyword ("shoe", in this example) or a URL that may encompass more than one keyword ("shoe" and "shoes")? I hope this is clear. Thank you for your time and help. All best, Sal

How can I change my website's content on specific pages without affecting ranking for specific keywords?
My client's website (www.nursevillage.com) content has not been touched for 4 years and we are currently ranking #1 for "per diem nursing". They do not want to make any changes to the site in fear that it might decrease our rankings. We want to try to use utilize that keyword ranking on specific pages (www.nursevillage.com/nv/content/careeroptions/perdiem.jsp ) ranking for "per diem nursing" and try redirecting traffic or placing some banners and links on that page to specific pages or other sites related to "per diem nursing" jobs so we can get nurses to apply to our new nursing jobs. Any advice on why "per diem nursing" is ranking so high for us and what we can change on the site without messing up our ranking would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
