Does having more products in a category than others help with ranking that page with a particular keyword like iphone cases. We have thousands of products and wondered if it would hellp these all being on the website.

I do not think the number of products has any effect. Unless you just had a few products and customers get on the site, don't think you have enough selection and leave right away. Google will take a high bounce rate into consideration.

we used to be not so long ago number one on google for iphone cases iphone 4 cases etc but recently we have dropped. We have less products now than we used to so wondered if this has had an effect
i also noticed a lot of my competitors dont use the iphone keywords in there titles the use blue case etc maybe not to have duplicate content?

I would try to explain the design in the product description a little, at least emphasize the color and/or texture, same with the meta title and meta description of each product. But Maybe someone else can weigh in on how important they think this will be before you get to work on that many products.
What keywords are you going after? Do you realize how competitive a keyword like i-phone cases will be?
-
yes this is the bit i dont understand we have the same descriptions but all the products are different designs and different titles but the are all cases just different design cases. is this duplicate content
I just looked at how zazzle and other rank really well and they have thousands of products

I do not think that having more products in a category than your competitors will help with SEO at all.
In fact, you will have to be even more careful making sure each of these products do not have duplicate content, titles, and descriptions, the more similar products you have, the harder that can be.
I would also be careful if you have optimized the category and your product list is multiple pages long. Some e-commerce platforms will repeat the optimized category content on each page. I know SEO Moz will consider that duplicate content and give you errors, however I'm not sure how seriously Google really take it. To avoid that problem I usually allow more products to display on each page.

Totally inaccurate keyword count show on page grader
I've just published a detailed (3000+ words) blog post on AI music and what it means for musicians and artists. It is optimised for the term "AI music" and you can see it here: https://www.scamblermusic.com/ai-music-the-pros-and-cons-explained-by-ai/ When I search the source code of the blog post for "AI music" I see 19 references: code.png When I search the text in the browser window for "AI music" I see 12 references, yet when I run the Moz page grader to check my optimisation Moz downgrades the rating because it's counting 69 keywords: Moz.png I can't work out what Moz is seeing that I am not. Am I missing something really obvious, or is Moz just screwing up (something I haven't seen before with word count)?

Keywords used to land on specific page?
Hi all, Does anyone know if there's anywhere where I can see what keywords are used in search engines to land on a specific page? I have access to the Google Analytics account and linked it to Moz as a campaign, but I can't find this data. I'm curious about this because a very uncommon word is used in a page title for a page I try to optimize. It's the Dutch translation of 'malicious'. And now I wonder if it's better to switch to a word that's used more often. Or if it's better to 'win the battle' on this (probably) rarely used word. I've used Google trends to see how many people use it, but it says there's not enough data to show the interest over time.

Is a particular page not ranking for any reason?
I posted about the Google WEbmaster tools Structured Data set up in this thread here: http://moz.com/community/q/using-google-structured-data-for-seo-benefit Just a follow up question (or separate)... would having a lot of products with marked up data (via webmaster tools and not on page) hurt SEO rankings? I have not got any warning/notice etc in Google Webmaster tools about it. Search term 'buy isagenix' on Google Australia Product listing page not in top 50

Looking for advice on rewriting page that is currently ranked.
Hi, we put up a page 2 years ago (available from our home page) that is currently ranking in top 5 for a few of the key words we built it for. The challenge is we did this quickly and know we can (and actually have) built out a better quality, informative page. The content while similar is completely rewritten. Does anyone have experience in rewriting low quality pages that are ranking well? Essentially we are trying to step up our game and build up our quality from a human perspective, but unsure what/if any would happen with our SEO and keywords we are currently ranking for. Thanks!

Links to Product pages
Hello all, I am still rather new to SEO and learning a lot every day. I do have a question. On our product search result pages (example http://shop.ferguson.com/search/bathroom-lighting)
On-Page Optimization | | Ferguson
It is currently set up so the image, text, price etc of a product is linking to that product page. Our question is, if we were to link the image and the product name - will this be seen as two links to the same page? Is this a bad thing having multiple links to the same page? I searched around to see how other ecommerce sites have similar pages setup and it seems they link the image and also the product name, and the description is not click-able, which allows a user to "Highlight" the text (this is not possible on ours) Which would be to correct approach for SEO as well as User Interface, the way we have it set up, or by going with the method of the question I asked, Thank you for any information on this!
