Does my website have a bad rank in google because EMD or lack content ?
-
Hello, I'm a beginner
I just started my website xxx a few days ago.
I submitted my url to several good quality directories (about 20, the last 3 days), I tried to write different descriptions for each directory.
I have a very bad rank on google results (28+) for keywords "psychologue montluçon"
I don't know if it's because of :
lack of content, EMD, lack of backlinks (I submitted my website to directories, but its seems it takes a lot of time for updates).
Sorry for bad english, if you can help, thank you !

Thank you Nishadha and Robert for your good advices.
I will pay attention to directories, improve content, read moz seo guide and also be patient...
I have just one more question about yyy (yes, the url is written with 2 "-")
It's not exactly a "competitor" website (because it's in paris, and i'm not in paris), but I don't understand why this site was first a few days ago for keywords "psychologue" "paris"... ?? Now it seems to be on the second page ...

Adelaide,
The issue is not EMD because there is no "penalty," etc. for such. IMO, EMD's still have a little extra for a site even though we all think their value will go away at some point. I just have not seen that happen yet. Nishadha has it right, you are a new site; don't expect too much too soon.
And, I will caution you that even with "quality" directories, you need to be careful. You want your links from a variety of places and with a new site, you have the opportunity to ensure you never have a penalty if you are reasonable about your approach to all. Again, IMO, good content beats other links any day, because people link to good content. So, make sure it is fresh, current, and relevant to the site.
Hang in there, SEO is not for the impatient.
Best of luck,
Robert

Since you started your site few days ago ranking on the 28'th place is a good thing. It takes time for a new website to build authority and move upward in search engines.
I checked out your site and it had some decent content. Although more relevant content is always a good idea. Check out the Moz SEO guide ( http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo ) and implement the things mentioned there and you'll see an improvement in rankings.
Directory links are not the most valuable links and it takes time for them to get indexed anyway. Try to get links from relevant blogs and website for more authoritative links.
I don't think having an exact match domain will be held against you. But it is not as beneficial as it used to be.

Same content but written for different audiences
Hi Mozers, The site that I work on has two pages with very similar content but written with a different sophistication of language. One page is written in a simple, easy-to-understand voice and the second is written at a high level for researchers. My question is: does the Google algorithm really understand the difference in sophistication and then pivot results such that the more sophisticated page shows up for researchers and the simplistic page shows up for non-researchers (thereby eliminating or greatly reducing competition between these two pages)? Thank you!

Page ranking well for multiple keywords but which to optimize for?
I have a home page of a website that ranks well for multiple keywords and is the main source of conversions for the site. Obviously I would like to optimize the page to increase its rankings and click through rate on search results. But I cannot optimize for all can I? If I optimize for one or two then it seems to me the others will suffer. What is the best strategy here? Should I focus on creating new pages for each individual keyword and work on those instead?

Way of including Keyword into content
Hi all! My website is that of a large 7 bedroom luxury villa in Barbados (www.bruadair.com). Now, I am having problems understanding how i can include my targeted keywords in to my content without it looking unnatural and disrupting the quality of the content. I wish to use the keyword phrase 'Large luxury villa in Barbados' however including this directly into on-page elements seems to look unnatural. My current content on my home page is as follows 'Bruadair is a large luxurious villa situated on the prestigious Platinum West Coast of Barbados, located in a beautiful tropical setting with gorgeous beaches just minutes walk away' I want to rank for this keyword however changing to 'Bruadair is a large luxurious villa in Barbados, located in a beautiful tropical setting with gorgeous beaches just minutes walk away' degrades the quality of the content... is there anyway i can get round this issue? I greatly appreciate any help/advice given to my problem! Thanks once again, T

Google changes my title in search results randomly, any idea why?
hi all, i recently noticed google changing the title tag of one of my pages in search results for certain keywords... I've done a bit of a search and see its not uncommon, however from what i can tell they usually change the title if it is too long, or they seem to change the branding location etc... In my case they are litterally adding key words to it... Example - See Image 1 - This is my main keyword - the title displays correctly See Image 2 - Another keyword - see how google has added "irrelevant" keywords to the title Any ideas why this happens? fr0PIK7.jpg sv6zWOu.jpg

Two for the price of one: Can I rank for multiple keywords when only targeting one keyword?
If I'm optimizing for a specific keyword, is it accurate to assume that by ranking for that specific keyword that I will also be able to rank for similar or root keywords merely by ranking for the original keyword? For example, if I'm targeting 'free online bucket list' is it safe to assume that I will also be able to inadvertently rank for 'online bucket list' or 'free bucket list'? Can I assure clients of this? Or if I'm targeting 'Colorado grocery store' should I also naturally rank for 'grocery store Colorado' and not need to make both of these my targeted keywords?
