Keywords Ranking Secret?
-
When I searched "long dresses" in Google.com, and found the following page is ranked on top 10
http://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=long+summer+dresses
But there is no back link pointing to this page, so why does this company manage to rank high for such a competitive keyword without link building? Any opinions?

lol.... NO!

Is he the brother of Shih?

Ah I'm afraid I haven't read the whole thing. I have this tendency to only ever read two thirds of any book before starting on the next one... I have a shelf full on partially read books with only a couple completely read. I tell myself that one day I will finish them all but I'm curious to see if that will ever happen.
To Rand and the others credit, the Art of SEO is one of the only ones I've read all of. I wonder if there's any relation in terms of where he got the title?

I really enjoy reading his book. I have it on my phone and read a chapter whenever I have a few minutes. I've read it several times and see so many applications of it to SEO and business competition.

Very few pages rank well for competitive keywords using "secrets".
Sun Tzu, a military philosopher from about 500 BC said... "It is possible to know how to conquer without being able to do it."
The same is true on the web today. It comes down to a "battle of resources" applied over basic smarts.

Firstly, this page has a PR 2 which clearly explains that this page has backlinks. It only depends upon the tool you are using to view it. Secondly, if you go to the home page and then search "long dresses", you will get the same page which means that this page exists and is in the index of the search engine

If you run the seomoz term target tool on the page it scores very well across the board.
Looking at the title, meta description and page content it appears to be a well optimized page for the term. For it to have no links to it at all would suggest it is a newish page, so it might drop a few pages over the next few days - it's not uncommon for a new, well written page to rank well for a week or so and then drop a little.

There are backlinks, it's just the OSE hasn't picked the site up yet:

My Domain has a couple of badlinks decreasing my rankings, will disavowing them reduce my Domain Authority on Moz?
Good day Every Body, I have a heart aching issue, my site (nightwatchng.com) amassed a number carnivorous backlinks, I have lost rankings, i studied my search traffic and discovered that I have been hit by Google Penguin Algorithm Penalty, I was forced to believe that those backlinks were built to my site on purpose just so my rankings will drop, I know the importance of link building and thats why i follow the white hat technique. Now the big question is, IF I DISAVOW THESE TERRIBLE LINKS FROM GOOGLE SEARCH, WILL MY MOZ DOMAIN AUTHORITY DROP FROM WHAT IT CURRENTLY HAS?? I also want to know if the Algorithm Penalty will affect the subdomain (news nightwatchng.com) of my site?

Does Google drop links from page rank N/A sources?
Hi Everyone,
Link Building | | AMA-DataSet
I've started doing some link analysis on one of my site that has over nearly 800 links in total (which I got from the webmaster tools downloading the latest links). When I go on to Google and use the "link:www.mysite.com" directive it will only display 12 links. Does this mean Google is only counting 12 links from the link profile? Iv checked the freshness of some the links it wasn't displaying within Google to check they hadn't all expired. Links from march 2013 still don't appear. This sites link profile has been untouched for at least a year now and is full of directories many of which have a page rank of N/A hence my question. (I'm surprised it hasn't been hit by penguin!) Thanks in advance.0 -
Will Ecademy closure affect websites google ranking
Hi, i think i must be the only one that did not know about Ecademy sale, well almost. In the past week I have had a number of people contact me who are angry that they did not receive an email about ecademy business network being sold off. These people are more than angry about their monthly payments leaving their bank acounts and not having access to the new site which is here www.sunzu.com/ Although a lot of people are angry of the handling of this, an important question i would like to ask is, with ecademy no longer being around, does this mean that all the hard work of people writing articles on ecademy and gaining link juice, will all this link juice vanish look forward to hearing your thoughts

Multiple guest posts from one site have any effect on rankings?
I have started guest blogging and have sites asking me for more content. I understand that regular guest blogging is great for building authority as an author and has the potential to get more links through word of mouth and other sites linking to me. The more posts I do the more exposure I get. But if I have say 3 or 4 posts on an external site with each linking to my site (to a different url and with different anchor text) does that have any effect on rankings as all links come from the same domain? As I understand it links from different root domains are what matters. Presumably a site with links from 5 different sites with 10 links on each external domain totalling 50 links wouldn't rank as well as a site with links from 50 different domains (1 per domain)?

How Are Competitor's With Zero Links (According to SEOmoz) Ranking Highly?
Hey everyone! This is my first post in the community after just signing up for SEOmoz. I've already got a ton of value from this community so I'm looking for to giving back as much as possible. The keyword gets 8000+ monthly searches on Google. Not so many, but the keyword indicates high buying intention. The funny thing is that the top ranking page has 0 backlinks (according to OSE). It seems as though there are some black hat tactics being used, as I doubt that they are ranking solely with on-page optimization. Any idea what's going on? Have you guys/gals seen this before?

Potential Keyword Cannibalization Issue
I'm going to give an example of the potential website I'm going to build. Lets say it's about the individual graduating classes of a certain high school. I want my targeted niche keyword phrase to bey "graduating classes of example high school". Graduating Class would be the broader keyword. I would have a home page, which is a blog of recent news covering all of the students who've attended example high school. From my home page, you're able to access individual pages: 2012 Graduating Class 2011 Graduating Class 2010 Graduating Class etc.... If I'm internally linking to all of these pages, won't I encounter keyword cannibalization? or is the link "2012 Graduating Class" unique enough?
