Need your thoughts on my site
-
Hi, This is my site: http://hemorrhoidssuccess.com/ I have got some decent natural links with a mix of different anchor texts. My main keyword is "Hemorrhoids Treatment", And i got very less exact match anchor texts.
Now i was able to rank for "Top Hemorrhoid Treatment" on #2 Page, but i was not in the index for the my main keyword "Hemorrhoids Treatment". Can you review my site and let me know, what i am missing? Do i need to get more links? If so with what anchor texts?
Will be waiting for your replies..
Thanks in Advance

Ok, Thanks for your suggestions.
Btw, How do you measured the competition in %? Is it from Adwords or what?
-
Because:
Hemorrhoids Treatment is a Highly competitive keyword 69%
Top Hemorrhoids Treatment is moderately competitive keyword 49%
Which means that with the on page seo and the anchor text you have used can rank were you are now but it does not means that by using the same strategy will get you anything for a highly competitive keyword. To fight for those keywords you must show expertise in the area and provide value to Google users. In other words you are competing against Harvard, Mayo Clinic, WebMD, etc. Just remember that Google does not own us anything. They are a private company that will try to provide its users the best and most relevant information when they search. In other words build a site for your users and not Google. Concentrate on your site and not what Google will think about it. Then you will see how ranking will flow for you. Today is a good day to read very careful the Google Webmaster Guidelines. Follow them and you will be a happy webmaster.

But,
I am concerned with one issue here.
Why i was able to rank for Top hemorrhoid treatment, but not Hemorrhoids treatment?
I was not even in the index for the keyword Hemorrhoids Treatment.
Do you have any thoughts on this.
-
Wow, if someone ripped your site then you must try to contact that person first because they are outranking you for your keywords.
This is how I may approach your situation:
1. Change your site design or layout since it is the same as
http://hemorrhoidtreatmentadvice.org/.
2. Report that website to the domain registrar.
3. There is nothing wrong with holistic medicine or herbal medicine.
But you need to be the star of the topic. Provide information and advice
about the condition. Link to relevant authority information and keep
people informed. Always say something like the FDA has not verified this
information and consult your physician before starting any new medical
regime. That will make you Legit and a reliable seller. Brand your site.
Like I mentioned: that footer link does not make you any good it will kill
your rankings. That was old SEO that was killed by Google many years ago.4. Get a subscriber email list.
5. Link to your blog from the header and provide unique useful information.
6. Provide real contact information.
7. Add term of service and hammer that it is a herbal remedy so you will not be liable.
8. Add about us page and what you want to achieve with your site and company
9. Then concentrate on branding and link building but with a brand on mind. You can check SEOMOZ webinar on branding.
Best of Lucks

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion, but already there are a bunch of affiliate sites ranking well for that keyword and i am the one trying to rank for that keyword. Moreover, i am an affiliate for herbal products which offers treatment for hemorrhoids and there a lot of satisfied customers with herbal treatment and it requires no FDA Approval. I am not selling any illegal drugs here, You can search for the reviews of the products i am affiliate with it, you can see many good reviews, i just selected the best herbal treatments with good reviews. And moreover i am not offering any Miracle here.
And for your point visit official site:
Yes i am an affiliate site, but i am pointing to official sites only but not any fake sites.And that was not my site, some one ripped my site but ranking well for that keywords.

Your site Logo is an image with your domain name. <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">keywords</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">hemorrhoids treatment, hemorrhoid treatment, treatment for hemorrhoids</a>" /> It is no longer used! Title tag: Best Hemorrhoids Treatment! What is your branding effort? Are you looking for a natural, safe and effective treatment? I will never rank you any higher than the last page of Google. Are you an MD to offer treatment to people? That is highly irresponsible. Take that from an MD which I am. **Hover over Visit Hem-Relief’s Official Website** it says that it links to http://hemorrhoidssuccess.com/hemrelief but takes you to http://www.westernherbal.com/products/Hem-Relief.html???? All of your links are doing the same. Why in earth will I would like Google to provide me your website if I am searching for Hemorrhoids Treatments? As an user I would like to have reliable professional medical opinion not a website with bunch of pills with affiliate links promising a miracle that is not FDA approve or backed up by evidence base medicine.. What are your terms of services? Is your stuff FDA verifiable? Footer link to your domain with keyword Hemorrhoids Treatments!!! Over optimized! plus also you own http://hemorrhoidtreatmentadvice.org/ that ranks on the first page with the same website your posted here. Duplicated sites? Why?

Transferring Domain and redirecting old site to new site and Having Issues - Please help
I have just completed a site redesign under a different domain and new wordpress woo commerce platform. The typical protocol is to just submit all the redirects via the .htaccess file on the current site and thereby tell google the new home of all your current pages on the new site so you maintain your link juice. This problem is my current site is hosted with network solutions and they do not allow access to the .htaccess file and there is no way to redirect the pages they say other than a script they can employ to push all pages of the old site to the new home page of the new site. This is of course bad for seo so not a solution. They did mention they could also write a script for the home page to redirect just it to the new home page then place a script of every individual page redirecting each of those. Does this sound like something plausible? Noone at network solutions has really been able to give me a straight answer. That being said i have discussed with a few developers and they mentioned a workaround process to avoid the above: “The only thing I can think of is.. point both domains (www.islesurfboards.com & www.islesurfandsup.com) to the new store, and 301 there? If you kept WooCommerce, Wordpress has plugins to 301 pages. So maybe use A record or CName for the old URL to the new URL/IP, then use htaccess to redirect the old domain to the new domain, then when that comes through to the new store, setup 301's there for pages? Example ... http://www.islesurfboards.com points to http://www.islesurfandsup.com ... then when the site sees http://www.islesurfboards.com, htaccess 301's to http://www.islesurfandsup.com.. then wordpress uses 301 plugin for the pages? Not 100% sure if this is the best way... but might work." Can anyone confirm this process will work or suggest anything else to redirect my current site on network solutions to my new site withe new domain and maintain the redirects and seo power. My domain www.islesurfboards.com has been around for 10 years so dont just want to flush the link juice down the toilet and want to redirect everything correctly.

Why do some sites have several types of sitemap?
Hello Mozzers, I often seem to work on websites with several types of sitemaps - e.g. an html sitemap - an xml sitemap - almost always with identical structure and content. Does anybody know the thinking behind this? Currently looking at site with php and xml sitemap sitting alongside one another. I'm guessing one is for site users to read (and also to aid indexing) and the other for search engines, to further aid indexing. Does Google have any preferences? Is there anything you should be wary of re: Google, if there are multiple sitemaps?

How best to structure wordpress site.
I need help on how to structure my wordpress site to avoid duplicate content issues. Basically I have a main category page for each of my targeted keywords (about 12). From each of those though I want to create a category for each county in the uk and then about 15 towns within each county. This means I'm creating a LOT of categories. Eg: /plumbers/lincolnshire/lincoln x 15 other counties and towns /local-plumbers/cambridgeshire/cambridge x 15 other counties and towns (I have about 12 main keywords I'm going after) I'm basically creating a category for every town in the UK going after long tail keywords. What is the best way to manage this in wordpress? Advice from another question I posted on here is to write a unique category description for each one as the posts in each category are almost identical. The other problem here is I'm ending up with hundreds of links on a page. (They can't all be seen by the user as I'm using a drop down menu plugin). Any advice appreciated.

Critique My Site For SEO
Hi Everyone, I was wondering if someone might critique my site and let me know what you think. I've done pretty much everything I know to do proper seo for my site. I'd love to hear some critiques about what I am doing wrong. I'm not sure if my titles are okay, being that they are similar amongst pages. The other thing is that for all the javascript buttons on the top I have no followed them since they don't have any anchor text. The way google will crawl my page is through the links in the footer. I was thinking of moving them throughout the body of the page since I hear google isn't giving as much weight to footer links. I also wanted to hear what you think about putting a blog on my site and updating with fresh content as opposed to creating a separate blog and then linking back to my website with anchor text. Thanks for all the help. And glad to be a member Bill

Migrating a site
Hello, I have what a I think it's a noob question.. I have a medium size website and need to put it into maintenance for the next 2 months, and afterwards activate a completly new site. My client asked me to do this, cause the same people whoe run the constant flow of information on the site, are the ones who are going to develop the new site, so he wants to just close it out So... what are the steps for doing this with minimum impact on any SEO advances made this past months?.. How do I tell the search engines, Hey, just under maintenance for a while....then... i'm back in the game but this is my new structure. and the old one should go here
