Blog page ranked in a matter of hours, now what to continue climbing ?
-
Hello,
I just published a blog page a few days ago and it currently ranks on 3 rd page for the keyword "loire valley bike tours". Something I haven't managed to do for years with my page that talks about tours in the loire valley.
My guess is that I have better content on it.
Now my question is : will it continue climbing (if so at what rate) or will it stay there unless I improve my content and get links to it or will google calculate its PR and have it slowly climb over time...without changing anything.
Thank you,

I see thank you for your reply.

I agree with you. By "answer query" i meant that people would not go back to ask google the same exact thing, but move on to something else (even if related). Keep building your site up, not necessarily for this link, and you'll increase rankings. It sometimes fluctuates a bit until G sets a fix-ish position for a page. You might see it jump to page 1 in a couple of weeks. We've started working hard a month ago and we keep seeing jumps of 5-10 positions for 5-10 kwds every other week tops.

I agree and disagree with you. I know a lot of people on the web talk about answering queries but according to one google patent only certain type of queries can answer queries not every google search has to answer a query...
In some cases it is hard and you can see that in the related searches.
Type "content marketing" sure there are lots of questions people have in related searches and many other tools you can use.
However type "Alsace bike tours" and tell me what queries people have and questions they want answered... There are none in related searched and I couldn't find any in any of tool that exist out there... It means that in this case good content is all good needs.
The other problem is if you rank on 3 page for example you are never going to get 1 click so unless google bumps your 1 so that you get a few clicks to see the results... I don't see how google can track how i would solve a query... By the way when there are just 10 queries a month on that keywords even if you are bumped 1 st once a while you got to get lucky to get clicks

The question is much more intricate than you think. It all depends on how your search traffic does. If those that do come from Google do really well and you solve their query, you'll go up. Otherwise you won't.
This can also be influenced by new links, referrals, mentions, etc. Of course.
The more your post gets mentioned the better it can do. It may also be a result of it being mentioned somewhere good that you're able to rank well.
Cheers

I am really surprised to see this page is ranking like crazy even the content is very thin
https://www.hackerearth.com/blog/artificial-intelligence/artificial-intelligence-101-how-to-get-started/ We are ranking for 121KW for this page. And 22KW are ranking in the 1-3 position. I am not able to understand why will it rank like anything. Considering that it has just 4 inbound links. Will some help me to understand this mystery. When we try to write a good in-depth content then we are not ranking but for such content, we are doing fairly good.

Magento 1.9 SEO. I have product pages with identical On Page SEO score in the 90's. Some pull up Google page 1 some won't pull up at all. I am searching for the exact title on that page.
I have a website built on Magento 1.9. There are approximately 290,000 part numbers on the site. I am sampling Google SERP results. About 20% of the keywords show up on page 1 position 5 thru 10. 80% don't show up at all. When I do a MOZ page score I get high 80's to 90's. A page score of 89 on one part # may show up on page one, An identical page score on a different part # can't be found on Google. I am searching for the exact part # in the page title. Any thoughts on what may be going on? This seems to me like a Magento SEO issue.

Worth contributing articles to a Page Rank 1 site?
My intuition tells me that it is not going to help with any SEO link benefit by posting an article as a guest writer on a Page Rank site of #1. It's a rather new fashion content site. The article would be informative and not a sales pitch. The only link is to our url home page in the bio. I've been told that links from low page ranking sites don't help anymore. But maybe over time the site will achieve higher PR status, and then the link in it would help us? Any thoughts? Thanks! ron

Links to images on a page diluting page value?
We have been doing some testing with additional images on a page. For example, the page here:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Peter264
http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/2550/sukhoi-su-27-flanker-package-for-fsx/ Notice the images under the heading Images/Screenshots After adding these images, we noticed a ranking drop for that page (-27 places) in the SERPS. Could the large amount of images - in particular the links on the images (links to the larger versions) be causing it to dilute the value of the actual page? Any suggestions, advice or opinions will be much appreciated.0 -
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?

Pages On Subfolder Not Ranking
A subdirectory/folder on our website doesn't seem to rank for any keywords where the same type of pages on the same competition level keywords rank perfectly fine. For awhile the pages weren't getting indexed but were crawled regularly. Can't seem to figure the problem out.
