How long would it usually take for a web page to start appearing on page 1 of google.
Some pages will appear on page 1 the first day the page is online. Other pages will never make the first page. There are many factors involved which include your site's links, the page's links, how well the page is optimized for the keyword involved and how much competition there is for the given keyword.
Any suggestion for airport parking keyword will be much appreciated
As Steve mentioned, your first step would be to determine your locations. Your home page mentions "Airport Parking services provided at - Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Liverpool & Leeds". When I look at the page, it seems optimized mainly for Manchester. This is a problem.
You may want to have your home page be a generic "UK Airport Parking" page, and then offer specific pages for each individual airport. This approach will lead to better rankings for each of the 9 areas your site covers. Also, by removing the other 8 airport listings from the Manchester page, you will be better optimized and not have your focus diluted.

That's a kind of "How long is a piece of string?" question I'm afraid. One that nobody can ever really answer. For one, you can't really say it will ever appear for any particular keyword. You can make an educated guess based on the competition, the factors around the site itself and the content, along with a whole bunch of other stuff... but even then it's difficult to put time scales on things like that.
Also, what SEO is being done, who is doing it and how much do they know about what to do.
Even if you get page one, that could mean position 9 or something, so you still wouldn't get that much traffic. Once you're there, how long will you stay there??
There's a lot of info needed to get anywhere near even making an educated guess.
Edit I just had a look at your site, you seem to be aiming at Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester and more, but your headline on the homepage is:
MANCHESTER AIRPORT PARKING ON LINE DISCOUNTS
And your title tag is similar. This is not good!!
If I were looking for airport parking at Heathrow and saw your title tag in the serps, I wouldn't click as at first glance it looks to be Manchester only. If I did click, I'd instantly see that headline jump out at me and I'd click the back button.
Just thought I'd better let you know.

How can a slight brochureware website with little content or keywords be getting DA 96, PA 59 and linking domains of 50.5million?
How can a Facebook page get domain authority of 96, page authority of 59 and have 50million linking domains? I come across websites that feature crappy video clips in serp features in google searches, the website.

It's surely black hat tactics. How do they get away with this? The website has zero content beyond light brochureware.

Confused over PRWeb and it's Moz PA/DA
Hi I was looking at using PRWeb for some link building, however I have read quite a few articles bemoaning it and saying it carries very little, if any weight with Google. I am therefore confused that in Moz it has a DA of 90 (!) and a PA of 38, with a spam score of 1%. Are these negative articles wrong...is Moz ranking it wrong...or have I got the wrong end of the stick somewhere along the line?! Thanks Bob

Internal Links - First Link Rule Confusion
Hello All - I would like to create a guide for my team of rules for internal links and I could use some help. My understanding is that Google only counts the first link to a page, so any crafted keyword text links within the content do not count if the page in question is linked to from the main navigation. Is this correct? For example, if the menu or drop down menu in main site nav (which exists on all pages of the site) includes a link to a particular section that will be the only one that ever counts since the menu is on every page? Example: let's say a website selling cat toys includes a drop down menu on the homepage with links to "holiday cat toys". Does this mean that no other text links in content on the site will support that page from an SEO perspective since the link is in the main nav and will always be the first one counted? In the past we have added text links in the content on the homepage to important pages on the site. It seems to work, though now I'm questing these tactics based on the first link rule. I would appreciate some advice, clarification, thoughts, etc. Thanks!

Paying to be listed on link directories... a little help?
So, I was perusing SEOMoz's suggested link directory list and noticed some sites there require paid links. I have a couple questions regarding this: Is paying for directory listings a good idea? I'm not crazy enough to buy a bunch of links; I want to create a sustainable SEO strategy. But I do know that most everyone does at least a little paid linking. Is there a budget or percentage of ones total links you would recommend for this? Is it REALLY ok to do this at all? Also, assuming I have about $200-$500/month I could spend purchasing links, what sites are best to get links for first? Just a bit of background: we're starting a content marketing strategy for our business and are spending about $2,000 per month "buying" content (design, data, writing, etc.) so purchasing links is definitely NOT our strategy and never will be. Thanks!

Hit with Panda, but still confused
Back on March 24th I was hit with Panda. Pretty much all but my main keywords were hit and I was wiped off the board. Luckily I kept my rank with my main keyword which was part of my URL. I have been since trying to figure out what Google thought was spammy with my site. I made changes, but nothing changed except my main keyword. I have been confused as to why I still ranked well with my main keyword, but nothing else. I have read from several posts of others complaining about the same issue. Seeing some keyword rankings go down, but not all. I also have read that if Google thinks even one page is spammy it might effect my whole site. Today I found a couple pages that might have been contributing to the low rankings. I am a scrabble based site and I had several pages that listed many words related to things like 2 letter words, 3 letter words, words that end and start with. These pages would contain from hundreds to over a thousand words and I was linking them all to my dictionary look up portion of my site. I have some other sites that do the same thing but not nearly as much as my main site and they were still doing just fine. I had over 3500 pages giving me warnings in my Pro Account about to many links on a page, but I have been ignoring it because I felt I was helping my users by giving them a less step in having to type the word to search. I have removed all these links except I found a couple pages that were still doing it. I just removed them so hopefully that helps this time. My question is do I have to wait till the next panda refresh or just until the next time Google crawls my site to see the changes. UPDATE: it is not 1.24.2013 It's been a while since I asked this question and just wanted to fill in on the updates and things I have done since then to maybe give some hope to all you penguinizers. My site https://www.wordgamedictionary.com/ has changed quite a bit since I posted this original question. I was hit on April 24th with Penguin and just was racking my brain trying to figure out what I did to get there. Here is some advice I have learned since then. Be Patient - Its going to be a long road to recover from it (I am still recovering almost 1 year later, but I am recovering) Don't Freak Out - Yeah it sucks when you income drops 50% in a matter of overnight, but you can change that. Check your back links (Yes this is beating a dead horse with a stick, but it's true) On page anchor link text - Are they over miss used keywords? Change that. Make it look natural For goodness sake! check for spelling errors ADD FRESH CONTENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would say about something new at least once a week. 3 to 4 is good (unless you are Q and A then you will have much more). Think to yourself "What would keep me coming back to my site?" If you don't have it, they add it Back links are not going to come to you unless you are creative. Sitting there thinking they are going to fall on your lap is dreaming. Back linking is nessary to stay ontop, but you can get them naturally. Experiment a ton and take risks. The more risks you take, the better chance you will eventually succeed. Today I have almost fully recovered from Penguin, but what is awesome is that by taking the natural and pro active method to SEO I have actually increased my overall traffic to my site by double since April 24th. I am still recovering from the original keywords that I was hit at, but whats awesome is that I have gained so much traffic from other keywords that I ended up doubling my traffic. The next time you think you know everything there is about SEO, slap yourself...because you don't 😉 Some nice Link building articles I have found to be good http://www.seobook.com/archives/001792.shtml http://www.slideshare.net/RossHudgens/link-building-strategies-2013-edition-15477553 http://www.searchenginejournal.com/advanced-link-building-strategies/53439/

Link Building....confused!
Hi Guys, I'm after some advise please. We have a client who offers self catering accommodation to let on his website. We are looking at ways to increase links to his site and one idea we had was to possibly affiliate ourselves with local companies within the areas of the specific accommodation. Our client is looking to partner with local business's in each area of said accommodation (probably two of each kind) and then send the details of these business' with whatever special deals they will offer customers on every confirmation that goes out to the clients. Obviously, in return, these business' will then link to Room-B. What I'm trying to find out is if linking to partners via an email delivered from thewebsite is safe in terms of link juice: it's important that Google doesn't index any outbound links to partners from us at all. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
