Hi Carrol, As Robert has put so well...if it were only that easy:) Seeing rankings go up and then down for new pages (or newly optimized ones) is a pretty common phenomenon, with their freshness giving them a little boost that then dies away.Remember, your SEO will never be a set-and-forget effort. Now that you've done your first work and are seeing confirmation of doing this well by your A+ rating in our tools, take a little moment to celebrate how much you've accomplished and then get ready for your next steps. These may include, but won't be limited to:- Studying your analytics over the coming months to see how users are interacting with your site. This may lead to improvement you can make in both SEO and human usability. How people use your site affects your rankings.- Creating your ongoing content strategy. You may be blogging, creating whitepapers, infographics or other cool stuff to begin to draw steady, valuable, traffic to your site. Having a lively site affects your rankings.- Analyzing your competitors. While the age of your site vs. that of competitors isn't something you can control, you can learn a lot from what your competitors are doing and then figure out how to do it better. Remember, no search engine ranking exists in a vacuum. All the while you are struggling to get to the top, your competitors are doing the same, but if you can make a stronger effort than others who are being neglectful, you can hope to surpass them.- Creating your social media strategy. Find out where your customers are and then figure out how you can participate in and add value to the places they hang out most.- On-going linkbuilding. In competitive markets, this may be a never-ending task.While the effects of some SEO can be seen pretty quickly (within hours or a few days), most efforts are going to take some time to really settle in. A week is definitely not long enough to judge how Google will ultimately respond to the efforts you have made so far, but that's okay, because your efforts are just beginning. Being #18 isn't a bad place to start with a newly optimized website if you are in a competitive market, Carrol, but it does indicate that there will be work ahead of you. By making a steady, consistent effort to continue to grow and improve in as many areas as you can, you will be continuously feeding the bots data that says, "I'm here, I'm active and I'm doing everything I can to be a great resource for visitors." Hang in there. Don't be nervous. Expect this to take time and you'll be approaching the game with the right attitude. Sincerely wishing you good luck!

Thanks for the details. All of the above competitiors are 4-8 old ages domain and i am only have an 3 years old domain. No they are not using EMD.
I also checked in Seomoz rank tracker right now it is showing the rank was 10th position but after 2-3 time refresh the rank it went back to down #18 or so... And in morning sometimes it is showing #6 position and than same went down to hill.

Carrol,
Oh if it were that easy. Being at A+ for the on page is a good start as that, typically, will put you ahead of a lot of competitors. There are a lot of factors that go into who ranks where on page one for example. If after one week you are "stuck" in positions 15 to 20 you are likely on the right track.
Now, you need to look at the other factors that affect what is going on. What types of links do the sites above you have? How does the quality of your content compare to theirs? How long have their domains been established? Do they have exact match domains? Etc.
In SEO, I like to say we strive to be at 100% while understanding that is unattainable. Therefore, we are going to get as close to that as works for the client and the needs of the site. So, what you have to do is understand that there are other factors you must look at. Here is a great infographic from SearchEngineLand with a table of all the factors.
Look through these and you will find bits of knowledge that will assist you. Then, I would suggest that first you go about finding who is linking to your best competitors for the term and see how you can get some links from them. I would also track the traffic coming to the page and see if the CTR is reasonable, are people spending time on the page/site, etc. Every little bit of help will move you closer to your goals.
I hope this makes you feel a bit better about the good work you have already done.

How much of an issue is JS?
Hey folks, So, I got two pages. Page A has a lot more content but in a tabular format which uses javascript and a Title Tag which is a synonym for our keyword, but not the actual keyword. Page B has less content, and the title tag is the exact keyword phrase we want to rank for. Page A has a bigger backlink profile (though not enormous by any extent). Page A ranks in 30th. Page B ranks in 7th. Importance of Title tag? Importance of JS? Both? Discuss! Cheers, Rhys

Is Removing Breadcrumbs Detrimental for SEO?
We have full navigational breadcrumbs on our site for the menu and the brand menu. i.e. Home > Clothing > Jackets Brand > Brand Name > Brand Jackets There's been talk of removing this and having it like Chico's does, where on item pages they just have a link at the top to previous category (i.e. you're on a shirt product page and at the top it says "Back to Tops" instead of listing Home > Clothing > Tops) Is doing something like this detrimental to SEO? From what I've read Breadcrumbs are for user experience but I just want to be sure.

How to rank for several keywords
Hi there Mozers, So far I have been building my webshop ouibonjour.com over the course of several weeks while studying the awesome educational content here on Moz and other SEO-related sites. I think I have done an OK job so far, and I have managed to rank #1 on several long tail keywords after a couple of weeks. Problem is - there are more long tail keywords I want to rank #1 for as well! **What I have done so far: ** I have taken the strongest keywords that can generate conversion and added them in page titles, title heads, main anvigation titles, in my alt text in images and so forth. The page is not screaming "SEO!" and I am happy with that. Nevertheless, I think the SEO measures here are done in an effective way. If you bothered to click on my page, you can see that the home page has only 5 posts (posts, not pages). They redirect visitors to other important parts of my site, and I change the image and/or the title once every 3 weeks to not keep the page too static. In a /magazine subfolder, I have a blog that ranks pretty good for several keywords, but the content here is not directly related to my products, but rather articles that fits the interests of my potential buyers (lifestyle, culture, etc). **What I need - but not sure how - to do: ** I basically want to rank for way more long tail keywords that relate to my products, but I don't want to continue setting up posts that have these keywords, because the content on the main page will be too heavy on the SEO, and therefore lose value for my visitors. How can I rank for more keywords without having to pepper my site with posts full of these keywords? I do not want to write articles on my blog that focuses on different combinations of long tail keywords neither, because it will get too spammy and make my visitors not return. I need help! I hope I have managed to explain my problem clearly. If there are any Whiteboard Fridays or posts on this subject that I have missed, please link me directly. If not, I would be tremendously happy and appreciative for any tips and tricks 🙂

Posting on Forums for SEO benefit
Hi Is it beneficial to participate on forums in our market place to help become an authority in Googles eyes? I assume even if we don't get links it still useful in terms of co-citation... Thanks

Ecommerce SEO with 130 keywords
Hello everyone, My name is Davys and I'm what you call a newbie...so the question may sound stupid....But where we go. In this campaign I will be targeting around 130 to 150 keywords to my store. So here is the technical question. What is the right way of indexing 150 keywords? Should I attempt to have all 150 going to www.mysite.com or should I break it down into smaller pages if I can put it that way. Like www.mysite.com/pages/bikiniwax for example. Even if I break it down, what is the right amount of keywords that I should SEO per page? Or do 150 pages? Please helppppppppppppppppppppp.... 🙂 Thanks a lot for your help.
