Need your thoughts on my site
-
Hi, This is my site: http://hemorrhoidssuccess.com/ I have got some decent natural links with a mix of different anchor texts. My main keyword is "Hemorrhoids Treatment", And i got very less exact match anchor texts.
Now i was able to rank for "Top Hemorrhoid Treatment" on #2 Page, but i was not in the index for the my main keyword "Hemorrhoids Treatment". Can you review my site and let me know, what i am missing? Do i need to get more links? If so with what anchor texts?
Will be waiting for your replies..
Thanks in Advance

Ok, Thanks for your suggestions.
Btw, How do you measured the competition in %? Is it from Adwords or what?
-
Because:
Hemorrhoids Treatment is a Highly competitive keyword 69%
Top Hemorrhoids Treatment is moderately competitive keyword 49%
Which means that with the on page seo and the anchor text you have used can rank were you are now but it does not means that by using the same strategy will get you anything for a highly competitive keyword. To fight for those keywords you must show expertise in the area and provide value to Google users. In other words you are competing against Harvard, Mayo Clinic, WebMD, etc. Just remember that Google does not own us anything. They are a private company that will try to provide its users the best and most relevant information when they search. In other words build a site for your users and not Google. Concentrate on your site and not what Google will think about it. Then you will see how ranking will flow for you. Today is a good day to read very careful the Google Webmaster Guidelines. Follow them and you will be a happy webmaster.

But,
I am concerned with one issue here.
Why i was able to rank for Top hemorrhoid treatment, but not Hemorrhoids treatment?
I was not even in the index for the keyword Hemorrhoids Treatment.
Do you have any thoughts on this.
-
Wow, if someone ripped your site then you must try to contact that person first because they are outranking you for your keywords.
This is how I may approach your situation:
1. Change your site design or layout since it is the same as
http://hemorrhoidtreatmentadvice.org/.
2. Report that website to the domain registrar.
3. There is nothing wrong with holistic medicine or herbal medicine.
But you need to be the star of the topic. Provide information and advice
about the condition. Link to relevant authority information and keep
people informed. Always say something like the FDA has not verified this
information and consult your physician before starting any new medical
regime. That will make you Legit and a reliable seller. Brand your site.
Like I mentioned: that footer link does not make you any good it will kill
your rankings. That was old SEO that was killed by Google many years ago.4. Get a subscriber email list.
5. Link to your blog from the header and provide unique useful information.
6. Provide real contact information.
7. Add term of service and hammer that it is a herbal remedy so you will not be liable.
8. Add about us page and what you want to achieve with your site and company
9. Then concentrate on branding and link building but with a brand on mind. You can check SEOMOZ webinar on branding.
Best of Lucks

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion, but already there are a bunch of affiliate sites ranking well for that keyword and i am the one trying to rank for that keyword. Moreover, i am an affiliate for herbal products which offers treatment for hemorrhoids and there a lot of satisfied customers with herbal treatment and it requires no FDA Approval. I am not selling any illegal drugs here, You can search for the reviews of the products i am affiliate with it, you can see many good reviews, i just selected the best herbal treatments with good reviews. And moreover i am not offering any Miracle here.
And for your point visit official site:
Yes i am an affiliate site, but i am pointing to official sites only but not any fake sites.And that was not my site, some one ripped my site but ranking well for that keywords.

Your site Logo is an image with your domain name. <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">keywords</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">hemorrhoids treatment, hemorrhoid treatment, treatment for hemorrhoids</a>" /> It is no longer used! Title tag: Best Hemorrhoids Treatment! What is your branding effort? Are you looking for a natural, safe and effective treatment? I will never rank you any higher than the last page of Google. Are you an MD to offer treatment to people? That is highly irresponsible. Take that from an MD which I am. **Hover over Visit Hem-Relief’s Official Website** it says that it links to http://hemorrhoidssuccess.com/hemrelief but takes you to http://www.westernherbal.com/products/Hem-Relief.html???? All of your links are doing the same. Why in earth will I would like Google to provide me your website if I am searching for Hemorrhoids Treatments? As an user I would like to have reliable professional medical opinion not a website with bunch of pills with affiliate links promising a miracle that is not FDA approve or backed up by evidence base medicine.. What are your terms of services? Is your stuff FDA verifiable? Footer link to your domain with keyword Hemorrhoids Treatments!!! Over optimized! plus also you own http://hemorrhoidtreatmentadvice.org/ that ranks on the first page with the same website your posted here. Duplicated sites? Why?

Indexed Pages Different when I perform a "site:Google.com" site search - why?
My client has an ecommerce website with approx. 300,000 URLs (a lot of these are parameters blocked by the spiders thru meta robots tag). There are 9,000 "true" URLs being submitted to Google Search Console, Google says they are indexing 8,000 of them. Here's the weird part - When I do a "site:website" function search in Google, it says Google is indexing 2.2 million pages on the URL, but I am unable to view past page 14 of the SERPs. It just stops showing results and I don't even get a "the next results are duplicate results" message." What is happening? Why does Google say they are indexing 2.2 million URLs, but then won't show me more than 140 pages they are indexing? Thank you so much for your help, I tried looking for the answer and I know this is the best place to ask!

Site Architecture: How flat is too flat?
There's a lot of debate out there as far as too many internal links or too many levels of a website. I've seen the videos from Rand and I've read a lot of the posts here on Moz, but I just want to know where everyone stands on this. Anyone have experience with architecture while working on a large E-commerce site? We're talking Millions of pages and over 1,000 links off the homepage alone. Anyways, I don't want to get too specific. I mostly just want to hear about experiences of the community. Thanks!

3 Wordpress sites 1 Tumblr site coming under 1domain(4subdomains) WPMU: Proper Redirect?
Hey Guys, witnessSF.org (WP), witnessLA.org(Tumblr), witnessTO.com(WP), witnessHK.com(WP), and witnessSEOUL.com(new site no redirects needed) are being moved over to sf.ourwitness.com, la.ourwitness.com and so forth. All under on large Wordpress MU instance. Some have hundreds of articles/links others a bit less. What is the best method to take, I understand there are easy redirects, and the complete fully manual one link at a time approach. Even the WP to WP the permalinks are changing from domain.com/date/post-name to domain.com/post-name? Here are some options: Just redirect all previous witinessla.org/* to la.ourwitness.org/ (automatic direct all pages to home page deal) (easiest not the best)2) Download Google Analytics top redirected domains about 50 urls have significant ranking and traffic (in LA's sample) and just redirect those to custom links. (most bang for the buck for the articles that rank manually set up to the correct place) 3) Best of the both worlds may be possible? Automated perhaps?I prefer working with .htaccess vs a redirect plugin for speed issues. Please advise. Thanks guys!

Ranking a site in the USA
I'm UK based and looking at setting up a site to rank in the USA. As I understand it a .com TLD is best but these are used worldwide so do I simply need to set the geotargeting to USA in webmaster tools? Or is there a better domain to use? With hosting the site in US and on page content related to US cities (I plan to create a page for each US city I operate in the the city name in the H1 tag) will that be enough for google to understand that the page should rank in the US version of google. Also how can I view Google USA search results - when I go to google.com it automatically redirects to google.co.uk and I can only change the location on the left hand side to UK cities. Any help much appreciated!

How would you fix this site?
We're currently in the IA and design phase of rolling out a complete overhaul of our main site. In the meantime I've been doing some SEO triage, but I wanted to start making a longer term plan for SEO during and after the new site goes up. We have a pretty decent domain authority, and some quality backlinks, but we're just getting creamed in the SERPs. And so on to my question: How would you fix this site? What SEO strategy would you employ? http://www.adoptionhelp.org Thanks!
