My quest has taken a turn for the worse...

Hello and Welcome Moz Friends!
Thank you for taking the time to review this post. The nature of my problem is that I have optimized the site www.AmericanScooterStore.com for the keyword Mobility Scooters however my quest for page 1 has turned into trying to get any page on my website to show up for that keyword. I checked every page with the SEOMoz optimization checker and they all received A's. I there something I perhaps overlooked, or should I continue to wait and pray Google rewards me? As I said, thank you for your help Champions!

Hi Justin...
Perfect keywords, good technical infrastructure and great content all set a solid foundation, but your key challenge is the same as all sites experience...
Not very many domains linking to the site...
A great simple place to start is...

Hope that helps...

You also have a duplicate content problem...
Rewrite original and much more substantive product descriptions.
==================================
Your title tag is a keyword dump...
Mobility Scooter | Scooters | Scooter | Power Scooter | American Scooter | Mobility
Pick one or two keywords that are very important to you and write a title tag that will elicit clicks.

What are all of those links at the bottom of your page? Google will not be smiling when they see a load of footer links going out to trashy sites on every page of your website.
=================================
Link Directory
Magazine Subscriptions Subscribe or Renew more than 1000 magazines at very low price. Huge discounts on popular magazines from USA and Canada.
Reach more customers with paid web directory where you can find more resources about Fitness Directory Compact Mobility Scooters Reviews and Information
================================
I would yank them down right away.

Your site has a great look and provides lots of scooter options for customers. However, I generally feel a page should have some supporting content for each page.
To me it seems you may benefit from generating some page content.
Also, I noticed one of your pages has no content..... "Take it From Us" you may wish to check it out.
Just my two cents!

A perfectly optimized page is surely a ggod start , however you should also make a linkbuilding strategy and a social signal strategy to leverage user community. Hope this help !
best regards,

Should I 301 this ecommerce site, or turn it into a blog?
Hey everyone, I have a couple of ecommerce sites - Site 1 (DA33) and Site 2 (DA24). They are in the same niche and have the same products, a relic of how our business started in 2007. But now we just want to manage one brand, Site 1. This is our question: Is it better to 301 Site 2 into Site 1 (page by page redirect), or would it be valuable to instead turn Site 2 into a blog site? Site 2 currently has some good relevant links to it that would be nice to 301 to Site 1, but the value of 301 redirects seems to have been steadily diminishing since roughly 2011. If we take Site 2 and turn it into a WordPress blog, develop some good industry-relevant content on it (and outsource/allow guest posts on it for relevant quality content as well), and sometimes we drop a link or two into the content to help promote Site 1 - would that be more valuable than a 301? Obviously, a lot more "work" goes into creating a content site than just 301'ing it over. I guess the question is: does a page-by-page 301 of a niche-identical and even product-identical site into another have more of a benefit for SEO than getting some content-relevant anchor text links on a blog site? What would you do in my position?

Mobile Friendly Site yet rankings are in alot of cases worse than desktop
Hi All, We made our Website mobile responsive well in advance of the recent mobile algorithm changes . We only have a couple of pages with minor errors but yet our mobile rankings have not improved that much (maybe 1 place) and in alot of cases, we rank higher on desktop than we do on mobile for the same term etc. No the ranking boost is minimal at best and worse in many cases. I have checked our site on google mobile test and we are mobile friendly and on page speed test our mobile site is 99/100 user experience etc. Just wondered if anyone else has found the same ? thanks Pete

What exactly is an impression in Google Webmaster Tools search queries with the image filter turned on?
Is it when someone does an image search? Or does it count a regular search that has images in it? On an image search does the picture actually have to be viewed on the screen or can it be below in the infinite scroll?

Homepage ranks worse than subpages
My homepage (www.mach7t.com) is optimized for "enterprise imaging solutions", but only ranks #55 in Google. The rest of my subpages rank much better than that for their respective keywords, many on page 1. Any ideas why this might be?

Can I, in Google's good graces, check for Googlebot to turn on/off tracking parameters in URLs?
Basically, we use a number of parameters in our URLs for event tracking. Google could be crawling an infinite number of these URLs. I'm already using the canonical tag to point at the non-tracking versions of those URLs....that doesn't stop the crawling tho. I want to know if I can do conditional 301s or just detect the user agent as a way to know when to NOT append those parameters. Just trying to follow their guidelines about allowing bots to crawl w/out things like sessionID...but they don't tell you HOW to do this. Thanks!

WhiteGloveInternational.com has taken a sharp fall in the rankings, what gives?
My site WhiteGloveInternational.com has taken a sharp fall in the rankings. I have specified the Canonical as www inside webmasters tools. I am using wordpress & a plugin called "Simple 301" in order to specify the canonical I used the rel meta tag and changed the site location to www inside wordpress general settings, however I have not updated with the "Simple 301" plugin. Should I? Should I 301 redirect all non www pages to their www counter part or should I wait for the SERPS to do their thing?

My website keywords have been almost completely taken out of indexing in Google since 04/26/11 and I cannot determine why, anyone know?
I had 12 to 15 1st page Google rankings in the iPhone, iPad, app review vertical. As of 04/26/11 I have lost all rankings, traffic has gone from 1,000 to 1,200 a day to 150 to 350 a day. I was using a plugin for auto press releases, but have removed this and deleted the urls. I also have changed themes and hosting over the last 3 weeks. I have been trying to get SEO help, but cannot seem to get anyone to help me. thank you Mike

Can backlinks negatively influence your ranking, or worse, cause a penalty?
Hello everbody! I am the owner of a price compare website and have been running it succesfully for over two years now. However, since february the news and articles section of our website lost a great deal of it's traffic. We did not completely lose traffic but only for items that were posted after february 2011. We have skilled content writers who do good research on the topics covered in our news section, i can honestly say we write our content for our visitors and not just for the search engines. We have investigated every part of our source code but we did not find anything there that was violating any guidelines. So my next guess was that maybe some incoming links could harm our news section. The most backlinks we receive are directed to our news and article section. These links are generally put on sites which use our RSS feed. There is just one website that we think could be the reason. It had included our RSS feed on each page which resulted in over 2,500,000 backlinks from a single domain which hosts a very poor quality website. We never considered it to be harmfull so we never did anything about it. My question is if this case could be the reason for the drop in traffic? kind regards, Jeroen from the Netherlands
