On Page Grade Reports - Which to optimize first?
-
I'm wanting to prioritize my on-page optimization efforts by doing the work that will have the most impact first.
Let's say, hypothetically, that this was my on-page report card:
Grade A - 60 reports
Grade B - 20 reports
Grade C - 70 reports
Grade D - 70 reports
Grade F - 300 reportsWhere is the biggest opportunity for increasing good traffic?
- Doing more work on Grade A pages to ensure I continue to rank
- Moving mid-grade pages up to high-grade pages (e.g., raising a B to A, or a C to B)
- Moving low-grade pages up to mid-grade pages (e.g., raising a D to C, or a F to D)
-
Think of it like this:
If the grade F is on page 2 position 15, while the grade C is on page 1 position 5, would you benefit more from;
Grade C moving from 5 to 2
Or, Grade F moving from 15 to 10? -
Well, let's say I have 2 equally important keywords scored as C and F respectively. Do I impact my business more by optimizing the mid-range or the low-range. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
-
I agree; prioritizing based on the importance of the keywords can be more important than trying to move the needle for lesser important keywords.
-
Don't worry about what they are now, get the ones that make you money to Grade A asap

Hi Justin,
I'd say it depends on how important the keyword is to you. If you got a grade F for something then I assume you aren't even targeting that keyword!
Look at easy/hard the fix would be as well because some of the fixes need a considerable amount of work. As long as it is a keyword and page that is going to drive traffic and sales, I'd concentrate on moving the C's to B's and B's to A's.

Page Speed
Google recommends a page load speed of 1.4 seconds, is it recommended to have that page speed for every page on the site, or just the landing pages. Is there a tool that will check the load speed of every page on a site and report the slow pages? The free online tools only check one page at a time.

Too many on page links
Hello, I have a page that isn't ranking very well. http://nicontrols.com/uk/drives-motors/variable-speed-drives According to the MOZ research tools I have too many on page links. I believe most of these are a result of the advanced filtration options on the left hand side of the page. I don't want to remove the filters as they are extremely useful for customers but I am also worried about the number of links Anyone get any ideas about the number of links? Should I care?

In-page Optimization check list....
Hey, Mozzers I have a question about optimizing a web-page. I was just having a conversation with our web developer about optimizing our website and which changes would make the most difference in affecting the SERPs as far as on-page optimization goes. I was explaining to her we wanted to optimize our pages in the following levels (ranked most important to least important): <title>: key word laden </p> <p>2) <H1> : key word in <strong>bold</strong></p> <p>3) page content: keyword laden as well</p> <p>The idea was to have three or four layers of keywords on the page. I work for a real estate brokerage and the context was the actual page of the property listing. So in this case, the keywords would be the address of the property. She explained to me that the the H1 tag is more important than the title tag.</p> <p>Does this ring true with you guys?</p></title>

Post Pinguin Onpage Optimisation - How Do I Build the Perfectly Optimized Page?
Hello, So far I always follow the recomendations of the chocolate donuts example of Rand Fishkin on the Blogpost: How Do I Build the Perfectly Optimized Page? I also think that the onpage grades follow this rules. Do you think this is still all true after pinguin? Personally none of my websites have been afected by the update and I have an A grade on all my landing page. What do you think about the image alt text. Is it still a good idea to use the keyword? Are there any newer resources here on SEOMOZ (I didn't find any with my search)? Thanks for sharing your experiences.. Regards

Why home page ranks higher than keyword-optimized page
We have a page that is optimized for the keyword "job scheduling". A search on the keyword "job scheduling" results in this page not ranking at all, while our home page (uc4.com) ranks third. Could you provide some ideas/suggestions as to why this would be the case and how to make our job scheduling page rank higher? Thanks, claudia
