Reached No. 1 for my Keyword, what next?
-
Hi,
After months of targeting, promoting etc... I have now reached Google.co.uk rank position 1 for my phrase "creative recreation trainers" and I stand at rank 3 on Google.com.
I am happy with these results as this is the phrase I targeted and this is the brand I wanted to rank first for.
But were do I go from here?
I am thinking I change brand and try work some magic on that, but still continuing to add backlinks etc... to the Creative keyword phrase?
What would people advise?
Also can anyone do an analysis of any sort on that keyword phrase and/or the url http://www.designerboutique-online.com/all-clothing/creative-recreation/ and tell me some good points, bad points, what to do next and so on?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Ah...as a one man SEO firm, I can understand that you're worried about pushing yourself too thin when it comes to marketing your keywords.
However you always want to diversify your portfolio, only ranking for one keyword can hurt your business and your website, as Google might see it a bit too spammy. I'd keep an eye on "creative recreational trainers", but I'd definitely focus on your other keywords including "armani jeans" and "vivienna westwood shirts". -

Yeah I will be moving onto other brands eg. armani jeans, vivienna westwood shirts etc... but what do I do about the creative recreation trainers phrase? Leave it, top it up now and again, continue to market it along with other brands?
As a one man team, too many brands and I find it impossible. So taking 1-2 brands and trying to do well on them.

Thanks Mat and Anthony.
When you say expand my keyword list, should I expand around the main brand eg creative recreation kaplan trainers or black creative recreation trainers?
Or should I move onto another brand completely? And just top up my Creative Recreation Trainers occassionally?
When you say run tests, what tools are there to check these? Are the grade reports in SEOMoz any good?
Thanks

Find out what content people are viewing on your website and what people are sharing, use this as a basis to not only expand your keywords but your business as well. If there's a certain piece of content or item that your customers like, find a way to market it.
Just because "creative recreational trainers" is ranking high, doesn't mean you should stop marketing. Find other keywords similar to your niche and go after those as well.

Great link Mat.
In short: Focus on widening your reach. Expand your keyword list and create more content for those keywords. Also- run tests on your site to see how you can better convert existing traffic.

Having Trouble Ranking .us for branded Keyword
Hi Mozers, First time poster here. I run the website http://OrangeOctop.us/, it provides winning tips for FIFA, NBA 2K, NHL. The domain authority is 22 but I am unable to rank for the term OrangeOctopus. I know there are dozens of factors that should be assessed when looking at competition in Google (such as backlinks, domain age/relevance, social). However, I feel like you guys might have some suggestions for being able to rank for OrangeOctopus. Thank you! Joey

Beating the Big Boys: help analyzing keywords in a very competitive space
Hi all! Long time Pro member first time question asker! We are in real estate in Barcleona and, although we create tons of content (daily blogs, free ebooks, videos) we have never properly optimized our root domain page for any keywords that might bring us specifically real estate related traffic from Google. Our website is www DOT SuiteLife DOT com. My question is about keyword analysis. We've had this sort of paralysis whereby we're nervous to start link building etc… for the wrong keywords. The problem we have is that most all keywords in our space are VERY competitive. So far the two tools we've used are: Google Keyword tool: About the top 20-40 keywords we'd like to go after are rated as HIGH competition. SEOmoz Keyword tool: Only the really too-obscure or long tailed keywords related to our business fall under a 50 rating. We were wondering if anyone could shed some light on how to further analyze keyword possibilities for our homepage when it seems like anything with any decent search traffic is super competitive. Please let me know if there's any important info that I've left out! Thank you SO much in advance for any advice/help. The SEOmoz community is so amazing! Rock on guys and gals! ~ Benny

Keyword Research - tools
Hello all, I would like to find better synonyms for my keywords, and dig deeper to bid / place strategy into place for them. I am currently using the adwords too but it only gives me closely related keyword ideas. Is there something "free" which can give me a better co-relation data to work with? Thanks Aditya

Why is this site ranking #1?
I've done extensive research into http://www.maggiesottero.com/ and cannot come up to any definitive conclusions as to why this site is ranking #1 for the term "wedding dresses." The page is not optimized for the keyword. **Any thoughts? **

"keyword" - rank the home page or sub page domain.com/keyword?
One of my clients has a pretty decent website that ranks 1st place for most major keywords in their line of business. EXCEPT one keyword that i've been struggling to get 1st position on Google (currently 2nd). My problem is: let's say "tennis shoes" as a keyword the home page of course has several other shoes listed but I've seen that Google took my home page and made it 2nd position (on 1st page). Where the section domain.com/tennis-shoes is on 2nd page of Google. My question is should i rel cannonical from the /tennis-shoes section to the home page so it focuses more on the specific keyword that i need to get the home 1st? Or should i leave the home page generic and focus more on /tennis-shoes to get that 1st position? What do you Moz'ers Think?
