Why will my site not rank for this keyword?
-
My site http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/ performs quite well for most of my keywords and gets ok traffic.
But for "electric radiators" it just isn't ranking? I was thinking about redoing the landing page for it?
Can anyone offer some insight as to what else I could do?
Here is the current electric radiators page
http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/index.php/electric-radiators-2/
Thanks,
Laura

Hi Laura
When I checked (and I've just checked again), the real time results show that the title tag is showing the company name. If you, or another person have made these changes, they haven't been saved and effected the change.
I've attached a screenshot of keyword analysis for that page - only showing critical and high factors. You can see that it references the Title Tag in two areas as being unticked.
The number 2 in your url will be fine and shouldn't cause you any issues at all. As a starting point, your title tag and your images titles and alt tags should resolve it. You can then work at marketing that page etc.
I would really recommend the moz toolbar, I don;t think I could live without it to be honest! When you know what you are looking for, it tells you exactly what you need to know in an instant.

Thanks Jo - I've done most of those as well as increased keyword density.
I didn't create the site originally but I noticed that the link that is indexed in Google is this one http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/index.php/electric-radiators/
Where the one that should be coming up is http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/index.php/electric-radiators-2/
Is it the 2 in the URL that is affecting the site position? If I change the permalinks I'll have to set up redirects? would that be better? I don't have access to Ht access at this point also.

Hi Jo do you know of any faster ways for getting quality back links?

Hi Laura
I just took a quick look at the page and did some analysis with the SeoMoz toolbar - you can download that as a chrome extension and its brilliant for a quick healthcheck on your individual pages.
The first thing I noticed was that you have the Title tag <title>as your business name - The Electric Heating company. I would start with immediately changing that to Include your keyword at the beginning.</p> <p style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">I only checked a few of your pages, but all were named with your business. A classic no-no as Google definitely uses the title tag to find out what your page(s) are about.</p> <p><span style="color: #5e5e5e;">Another thing, you have a couple of images on there named radiator3 and radiator4...consider renaming those images and adding alt tags to include 'electric radiators for conservatories and EHC Electric Radiators.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color: #5e5e5e;">I also noticed you have a wordpress site. I'd really recommending adding the Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin. That trains you how to optimise your pages and I have had great success with that.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #5e5e5e;">Hope that helps - that will definitely help you get ranked for the term. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color: #5e5e5e;">Thanks</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color: #5e5e5e;">Jo</span></p></title>

Keyword every blog post?
Hi Should I be looking to keyword every blog post I write? Obviously the point in a blog for most of us is to draw in traffic so should I keyword research every blog post and use that as keyword? What if there is no keyword stats for the blog im writing? I guess I just use a keyword I make up anyway and hope people type it? Thanks Chris

What is the best way to do a one time rankings check of 10000+ keywords
Title pretty much sums it up. At the pricing moz offers this is not practical. Even at their highest tier i would only get 3700 keywords, so it would take several months to get the results.

Keyword difficulty report - am I stupid??
Hi, Im a programmer but SEO newbie and I am trying out Moz Pro. To be honest I feel really disheartened right now, I find the world of SEO very difficult and full of conflicting information. Anyway, I am trying to get my head around the Keyword difficulty tool in order to determine what keyword I want to go after and what I would need to do in order to outrank the competitors. The website with the highest PA, most external links to the domain (4000 versus around 80-90), the most linking root domain and the best on page optimasations ranks nr 5. The website that ranks 1 is the only one with good social signals. All of the websites has the keyword in the page title. What am I missing? This makes no sense to me. Is this Keyword tool reliable? VERY grateful for any help from you guys.. /Emma

How do you optimize for compound keywords
What is the best way to handle keywords like "switchplate covers"? The key word may be seen as either a 2 or 3 word phrase, depending how you handle the compound term: "switch plate" or "switchplate" In google KW it shows different results for switch plate vs switchplate as well as using cover vs covers. I've tried using all the variations in my descriptions, titles and H2s but I think this is diluting them all. Can anyone show me best practice guidelenes or examples of good solutions to these kinds of compound key words? Thanks Handcrafter

Google Analytics - Long keywords
Hi All, Question for you Google Analytics pros. In the keywords section of my account I see the various words that have been used to find my site. The top entry shows a big long line of text from my site and I wondered why this appears on the keywords. e.g Lets say I had "Today I went to the shops and bought a football" In the keywords I would normally expect to see 'football', 'shops' etc but instead I am actually seeing things like " went to the shops and bought a football". What causing this? Thanks all
