Could you give me some advice to be ranked first
-
hi everyone,
i need some advice; i'm trying to get first in the organic result for the keyword "poltrona frau brescia" in google italy, i list below the latest action i've been taken on my site ( http://poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it
- i've just added the site into some directories
- i've just recived some inbound link from a few sites with the anchor text "poltrona frau brescia"
- i wrote some press release that links to the site
- i created a google plus profile
- i created a google places profile linked to the google plus too
actually i don't see the page authority going up but the authority is the same as the domain in wich the site is located.
my goal is to rank first, now the first position is owned by a site with no autorithy but with the exact keyword matching in the domain.
please gays give me some advice to get concrete results, only just a couple of things to follow...
it seems a little bit strage for you but i'm having some troubles with this aim....
thanks a lot,
Guido

Hi Guido,
Firstly I would perhaps look at changing from a subdomain to a subfolder e.g. http://www.zenucchi.it/poltronafraubrescia or http://www.zenucchi.it/poltrona-frau-brescia
There are, of course, certain situations where a subdomain is more appropriate but in your case I believe a subfolder would be more appropriate. You will find that the subfolder will benefit from the added authority of your domain whereas the current subdomain configuration means that you are losing valuable authority here.
I would also advise on having a good mix of brand anchor links as well as commercial i.e. have anchors containing Zenucchi or http://www.zenucchi.it as well as poltrona frau brescia.
Another thing I would look at improving is your on-page optimization. There are quite a few things you could improve so won't go through everything but I notice you don't have the key term 'poltrona frau brescia' in a h1 tag, maybe consider doing this.
Hope this helps.

Moz gives me an A, Goggle completely ignores
I'm sure this type of question gets asked a lot, but I need some help here. Site: www.lodgmate.com We sell hotel supplies. Site has been active over a year. It has never been listed by Google for term "hotel supplies", at all. Have run numerous analytics, including Moz. While not perfect, no major flags. Moz gives the page an "A" for "hotel supplies", but none of the search engines return this site for that term. Did have an issue with too many key words, but that has since been corrected. Have never engaged in any questionable SEO tactics. I can understand not placing high in search, but not at all?? What's wrong? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Redirect effecting ranking?
I manage the SEO for several different regions which are also based on the same site e.g. example.com/au, example.com/us The /us site has pretty good rankings and changes I'm making to the site are having an impact. The /au site has really bad rankings, even though much of the content is the same. (The /uk site is also awful but we had an issue with 4,500 duplicate pages which were only resolved last week). Crawl diagnostics are only showing 1 major error for a 404 response, I'm receiving a domain authority of 43 and A grade page ranking for some of our targeted keywords. I could believe that this isn't necessarily going to get us a top 10 rating but I would have thought we would be in the top 50, especially for branded keywords. Could the lack of ranking be to do with how our domain redirects? If you go to example.com.au you are taken to the home page rather than being redirected to example.com/au. Once you head to an internal page the URL changes to example.com/au/page

SEO quandary advice needed
I'm in a bind, I've been working on my SEO for a while now and have finally landed on the top page for [fishing kayak reviews] in Google US. The problem is it's not the page I want to be ranked! I've recently updated my reviews component to a more robust system but the url is slightly different. Looking currently [Reviews without Images] http://www.yakangler.com/fishing-kayak-reviews is ranking in Google but I would like [Reviews with Images] http://www.yakangler.com/fishing-kayak-review to rank instead. What would be the best solution for this problem? Adjust the url for [Reviews with Images] so it take the place of [Reviews without Images]? Do you think I will get any negative impacts from this?

Keywords Rankings-Change-Bug?
Bug? or just because the change happened beyound the Top 50 within Bing & Yahoo SERPs? The Keyword Ranking for in the example "dry desulfurization" shows a change of >40 up, but the history (Google) does not show these changes. May be, it is that the change was within Yahoo and Bing Rankings, and because the keyword is not showing up within the Top 50, I just can't see? ... but Rogerbot is considering. Thanks for any response 🙂 rankings-change-bug.jpg

Can Google move up my ranking without caching it ?
Is it possible that my site was last cached in Google on 9 Oct (it was ranking 23 that time) and today on 29th oct its ranking position 3 for a kw though still showing cached on 9 oct. Its not cached since 9 oct, does that mean its not crawled since then? How can Google move up my ranking without caching it ?

Redirection based on country and impact on rankings
I have a website that ranks number 1 in google.co.uk for its main key term and ranks number 4 in google.com.au. However i would rather that visitors in australia see domain.com.au rather than domain.co.uk. Is there a way to achieve this using some clever 301s without impacting the rankings in australia and so that the .com.au starts to rank in place of the .co.uk OR Would you advise launching a .com.au version of the site hosted separately with unique / re-written content on it.?

Rankings Dropped Dramatically
Hi All, I need some advice on this one, one of our websites is performing very badly and I am lost to know why. We migrated from an old website www.myclient.co.uk and re-directed to www.myclient.com. The issue we had was that the old site relied on search results i.e. www.myclient.co.uk/search+villas+in+marbella However most ranked url's were not as tidy as the example above and had lots of characters. Because of this and the fact that all incoming links were to the homepage we do not carry out any 301 re-directs. In some keywords we have increased our rankings but for others we have dropped dramatically. keyword 1 4th Jan position 22 9th Jan position 90 keyword 2 4th jan position 34 9th jan position 89 keyword 3 4th jan position 12 9th jan position 16 (a smaller drop than the others) We do have some top 10s for this domain so I don't think we have been penalised for anything but I am shocked to see such drops in rankings. I have setup the website so that each page targets different keywords and I have checked and they get A grades within SEOmoz. Any advice would be really appreciated, as the client is not too happy at the moment. Many thanks Andy

International Site, flow of page rank?
OK. I'm working on an international site. The site is setup with folders for UK, US, AU e.g www.site.com/UK/index.aspx The root (non folder based) is the international version of the site e.g www.site.com/index.aspx www.site.com/index.aspx has the lions share of links. Therefore, the pages immediately linked from www.site.com/index.aspx have page rank distributed between them. My UK, US and AU home pages are linked via a country selector from the www.site.com/index.aspx page via an aspx redirect page that 301's to the appropriate country home page. Therefore the home pages of UK, US, AU are recieving some of the 'juice' that is coming in to www.site.com/index.aspx (but only a fraction via the redirect links) Am I right in thinking that pages on the international version of the site will have much more potential to rank (because of their 'juice') than the pages on UK, US and AU versions of the site? If so, am I right in thinking that these will tend to rank over the equivalent UK, US and AU versions of the pages in each country version of Google despite having set directory level Geo-targetting in GWT?
