Baffled why my site is not improving in rankings.
-
Site shows up in the Map results when ever Google shows them. But for all other organic terms site ranks way back.
Have lots of unique content and one page grade of an A.
The site is http://alexpadillabailbonds.com
The main page is optimized for "sacramento bail bonds" with a Moz grade of A yet its not included in the search results. It was before.
Any insight from any one will greatly help.
Thanks.

Endorsed Answers: 4">- Andrey Zolnikov I will start with some information and then help with a solution but i got a few questions for you
When you SEO a site there is a few things to look at never trust one site for your results moz.com is the best in my opinion but Alexa is great as well. New Domains are put in something call Sandbox stage(now google will say they don't) but it is use so that you cant just buy a name and word stuff and link build it up too fast.
So lets start with what i see <a class="attribute-value">Sacramento Bail Bonds - Arrested? Contact 24 hour bail bonds in Sacramento CA and get out of Sacramento jail now. Call (916) 558-6900 for bail now.</a> Remove the (in, and, get, of) dont use conjunctions if you can avoid them.
Also you need to thicken your content. Look over your ALT imgs tags make sure they are all different.
-How old is the site?-How many links do you pay for IE (BBB-yellow pages)
-
I hope you take this as constructive instead of taking this personally, but your page is not doing anything well in regards to onsite or offsite SEO.
Here is just a small taste of what is wrong with your website:
-
You are keyword stuffing like a crazy person. You mention bail bonds 2 dozen times on your home page alone when I stopped counting.
-
You have no in bound links to speak of. http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/domains?site=alexpadillabailbonds.com
-
Your site load time is terrible. I stopped measuring after 45 seconds.
-
None of your blog posts are indexed in Google (I couldn't check it because your website was down).
Here is a good list of ranking factors.

Good luck! You have a lot of work to do.

Will more comprehensive content on product pages help improve ranking?
We're working to improve the ranking of one of our product landing pages. The page that currently ranks #1 has a very simple, short layout with the main keyword many times on the page with otherwise very little text. One thought we had was to make a more comprehensive page including more info on the features and benefits of the product. The thought being that a longer form page would be more valuable and potentially look better to Google if the other SEO pieces are on par. Does that make sense to do? Or would it be better to keep the product page simple and make some more related content on our blog linking back to that landing page? Thanks in advance to any help you can provide!

Site rankings steadily decreasing - do I need to remove links?
Since mid-April, our ranking have been steadily declining. Our two main keywords are 'nuts and bolts' and 'bolts and nuts'. 'nuts and bolts' dropped from 7th to 46th in May and has recovered slightly to 28th, and 'bolts and nuts' moved from 7th to 16th, and is today 24th. Ranking on keywords we specialise in have fared better, but they're fairly niche. 'bsw bolts' has moved from 2nd to 4th, and 'imperial bolts' has moved from 1st to 4th. I think my link profile is the issue. I don't think we've been penalised by Penguin directly (I may be wrong, I don't think we'd be page 2 on such a competitive term as 'bolts and nuts' after Penguin if we had been penalised.), but I think what's happened is that sites that link to us have been penalised, resulting in a knock on effect. Does that sound right? Here's my link profile: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.thomassmithfasteners.com</a> I've been slowly building relevant links with prospective customers and kept up a very basic social media profile - just the odd blog post and sharing on Facebook and Twitter. Do I need to delete all the directory links? We do have links from directories that don't look fantastic, more are shown in Webmaster Tools than are listed here. Some of the directories no longer seem to exist, I take it I don't need to do anything and Google will catch up in those cases. Should I attempt to remove (or disavow) all links with names like best-directory etc? Or should I just concentrate on building better links? I'm not sure where to start! Any advice is greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Stephen

Ranking stuck
Hello, I have a client with whom we are doing all the "right" things. We have a blog we add relevant content to once a week, we post on facebook, google+, twitter. We have stumbleupon and tumblr links. We have nice high pr links from local non-profits whom we sponsor for charity events. We are in the local citation sites and have 5 real reviews (working on more) But we are stuck anywhere from page 4 to page 2 for most of our keywords, which are all insurance related in the Gainesville area. I would love to hear some fresh ideas! http://dukeinsuranceagency.com , thanks!!

Is My site seeing a Google Dance ? - Rankings all over the place
My eCommerce website is seeing some rankings flucuate daily from say rank 20 to rank 130 whilst some other keywords ago up and down by as much as 40 places. I have been putting up alot of new unique content and can see in GWT that google has been crawling my site more but given that I was affected by the google panda updates which saw a 40% drop in traffic I'm only just to recover some of it., i have also been trying to get rid of any poor links and our linking building is only concentrating on high quality posts and links. I am wondering if this is the post panda update - "google dance" or is google having issues trying to work where to rank my site and possibly punish me? thanks Sarah.

How do Google Site Search pages rank
We have started using Google Site Search (via an XML feed from Google) to power our search engines. So we have a whole load of pages we could link to of the format /search?q=keyword, and we are considering doing away with our more traditional category listing pages (e.g. /biology - not powered by GSS) which account for much of our current natural search landing pages. My question is would the GoogleBot treat these search pages any differently? My fear is it would somehow see them as duplicate search results and downgrade their links. However, since we are coding the XML from GSS into our own HTML format, it may not even be able to tell.
