Outranking reasons
-
On the keyword Piedmont bike tours.
How can this website https://goo.gl/hUnSUF (we are going to call it number 1)
Be above this website https://goo.gl/6vG3D4 (we are going to call it number 2)
I know number 1 is a big company but a few weeks back it was behind.
Could someone let me why the number 1 is above number 2.
Doesn't number 2 answer the people's questions ? what could be missing ?
Thank you,

Hello Nigel,
Thank you for your feedback, I agree it is thought to beat tripadvisor but I am confident you can with good content.
I will try and see if I manage too.
Cheers,

Hi There! again
I think you would have a very tough job beating Tripadvisor. It's enormous!
Maybe with some self-hosted transcribed videos and a ton of backlinks!
Tripadvior has 12.1m backlinks from 70k domains (SEMrush) so you will have a very tough job indeed.
I'd concentrate on making the page more appealing and satisfying specific intent as much as possible.
Really tough though! Congratulations on getting top 4 though - excellent job!
Cheers
Nigel

Exact match .org Ecommerce: Reason why internal page is ranking over home page
Hello, We have a new store where an internal category page (our biggest category) is moving up ahead of the home page. What could be the reason for this? It's an exact match .org. Over-optimization? Something else? It happened both when I didn't optimize the home page title tag and when I did for the main keyword, i.e. mainkeyword | mainkeyword.org, or just mainkeyword.org Home Page. Both didn't help with this. We have very few backlinks. Thanks

Will Amazon outrank our Online Store?
We're looking to add our products on Amazon to expend our reach of customers, but one question that I can't answer for sure is, will the Amazon product page outrank our online store's product page? I'm thinking that if we re-write the description and re-arrange the product name that we'll be fine but I'd like your guys’ opinion on this. Extra Info: Product that we're selling aren't listed on amazon, we're the only one selling these. So we might be shooting ourselves in the foot by trying to sell on Amazon since no one else is selling that product. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Outranking a definition result
Hello, I was just asked to help rank a keyword that has fairly low competition but the #1 result is a definition.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | CodeCadet
I do not want to post the keyword here but for an example type in "resting" and you will see that Google returns a definition of the word. Now, lets say the result directly below the webster definition is a company with the name "Resting". What type of tactics would you employ to outrank a definition?! My first guess would be that I should establish this brand with Google by creating a Google Places listing for it. What else could I possible do? Should I just build standard relevant back links and optimize the content as normal? Thanks in advance!0 -
Site Not Ranking- No Reason Why
I have a client with a HUGE website who should be ranking for it's competitive keywords. No penalties, or bad links. Old domain. Not ranking for anything. Client has a huge AdWords spend and my theory is that it's not ranking organically because of the AdWords spend. I can't think of anything other reason. Anyone? Thanks. The keywords I'm trying to rank this client for aren't even competitive.

.com Outranking my ccTLD's and cannot figure out why.
So I have a client that has a number of sites for a number of different countries with their specific ccTLD. They also have a .com in the US. The problem is that the UK site hardly ranks for anything while the .com ranks for a ton in the UK. I have setup GWT for the UK and the .com to be specific to their geographic locations. So I have the ccTLD and I have GWT showing where I want these sites to rank. Problem is it apparently is not working....Any clues as to what else I could do?

Any reason not to redirect entire directory from old site structure to new?
I'm helping on a site that has tons of content and recently moved from a 10 year old .ASP structure to WordPress. There are ~800 404s, with 99% of them in the same directory that is no longer used at all. The old URL structures offer no indication of what the old page contents was. So, there is basically no way to manually redirect page by page to the new site at this point.....is there any reason not to redirect that entire old directory to the new homepage? Matt Cutts seems to think its OK to point an entire old directory to a new homepage, but its not as good as the 1:1 redirects: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=93633 Any thoughts?

Can you spot the reasons for our site dropping in rankings so significantly?
We've been racking our brains over this since the recent search engine changes (the notorious and non-cuddley Google Panda update) and have, within reason, corrected as many of the problems that we possibly can yet still our traffic drops further. http://www.bedandbreakfastsguide.com used to rank fairly equally with it's competitors however since the update (and a number of suggestions from another SEO company), the traffic has dropped by about 90% and it's dropped almost completely from the search results (unlike the competitors who are breaking many faux-pars yet remain well ranked). I don't think we're seeing the wood from the trees anymore so I'd be grateful if someone could take a look and see if we've missed anything glaringly obvious? Any thoughts welcome. Thanks Tim Big changes around the same time/since that might be worth noting: Setup a canonical domain name of www.bedandbreakfastsguide.com and (using IIS7) 301 redirect all other traffic over. Setup canonical URL meta tag for all results pages so they point to a single page Moved the redirect page (the one which sends users to the B&B's site) to another subdomain. Redesigned the URLs where possible to use "friendlier" and more keyword rich urls and 301 redirecting for the old urls Added XML sitemaps to the various tools (we found out they weren't there before) Added a robots.txt file Lowercased all urls Where possible removed duplicate results pages and pointed them at a single page Restructured the page titles to be more relevant Setup nofollow on the external urls
