Onpage Optimisation
-
Hi Guys,
Has anyone noticed that the onpage rules seem to have changed in terms of what Google is looking for.
I have just been optimizing a client site, I haven't worked on for a year and noticed that the pages I have worked on have dropped since lat week when I finished the onpage. Some of them aren't just 1 or 2 places but literally pages. It can't be links as I haven't even started link building yet. These are the same rules i have been playing with for six years and I don't cut corners with rogue text, or overly optimize for keywords.
I am going to give it till the end of the month and then reverse the changes be interesting to see what happens.
Kind Regards
Neil

Yeah! just ran another report and now they have all changed again!!. Definitely reckon its having a dance!!

Ha, for an industry that publishes so much information, the basics have not really changed at all.

Looks like the "Google Dance" it's now 78th.
Thank you Marcus, thought I was going to have relearn everything!!!

Hey Neil, changes are never that huge and dramatic and to be blunt, things are pretty much the same on page (give or take) that they were 12 years ago when I first started this game.
It's possible you may have another problem here - do you know what the client has been doing for the last 18 months? Any link building? Is there any thin or duplicated content?
This could be a rough gig as the client will want to hang this on you but it could be something else entirely.
Link?

Home Page optimising for Office furniture online
Hi I have a full page for office-furniture-online. With a fair bit of text on it! We use visual composer for this on wordpress - but we can't get a rank for it I wondered whether as it is our key term - whether we should focus on the home page for this - but the issue we have here it the amount of text we can add to the home page without it looking silly - could we have a slide in side tab with information on or is this frowned upon?

Optimising for multi sites selling same products
Hi Everyone I work for a company that sell aluminium joinery under 3 brands which are, ostensibly, competitors. With regards to optimising the websites, for keywords, should I be trying to optimise them for the same keywords, or should I use different keyword variations of each?

Onpage optimization different outcomes for keyword with or without accent
I am a little bit confused with the results of the onpage analysis. I am trying onpage optimization for a spanish word which has an accent.. The results differ from Grade A, if i use the keyword with an accent, e.g. ropa premamá (the spanish word for maternity wear) to Grade C if I run the report without the accent ropa premama. I assume that most users will rather search for the keyword without accent. Would this mean that I need to change my keyword to non-accent or doesn´t it matter?

On Page Optimisation Reports
Firstly sorry if this has already been answered - I did look I promise.
On-Page Optimization | | Jock
Secondly sorry if the answer to this is blatently obvious! In the process of trying to optimise my landing pages, I am using On Page Optimisation reports. I have several (ok lots) with F grades which is not surprising as the landing page is not the landing page optimised for a certain keyword. If I change the landing page to the one that I have for a certain keyword then hey presto A or B grade (clever me)! Now here's the thing - presumably the landing page that is listed by default is the one that Google "sees" for a particular keyword. How do I change this if I can or do I have to be patient or am I just being plain daft?! Many thanks0 -
