Get the startpage rank high for one word
-
Hi,
This has maybe been asked many times.
I wonder for example how our website www.hardtours.se can receive higher ranking for the word "hardstyle".
Our competitor has "hardstyle" in the webadress and it feels useless to compete with them since it feels that having the name in the www adress is to hard to compete with.
Or am i wrong?

Jacob,
They are exactly right how do you think distilled.net can rank for video SEO far better than any exact match domain because they do RCS and like you've been told you must fight for what you want in SEO and in the world's not with violence with your mind you know.
I think you should listen to both of the people posted below or above me. They are very much correct it has everything to do with our element here site is to that keyword not your exact match domain.
There's absolutely no reason if you can create better content for your chosen keywords that you should not rank higher than somebody who has content less worthy of the higher ranking. Google is a $40 billion a year monster that can decipher rather not you have actually done things correctly and created something valuable for their reader count on that when you're writing and doing all the hard work and what these well-respected gentleman have said.
Sincerely,
Thomas

Most of my sites are EMDs and I get my ass kicked all of the time. It's happening right now and has been going on for years.
Also, I am beating lots of EMDs in their primary SERPs.
When someone outranks you they usually deserve it.
So, start fighting for what you want.

I don't know what you mean by startpage. Do you mean home page?
I have many competitors that have exact match domains (EMD). I out rank them because I wrote better content for that particular keyword. Write great content and you will be rewarded by Google.

You can beat a EMD same doman as keyword you want to rank for.
use hardstyle
in your url after the /
then use hardstyle
in your H1 tags
and describe hardstyle
in your descripcion meida box
Now the why to win talk about hardstyle in your content but do not use over 5 times on page
libk your blog post named hardstyle
to your txt with the word hardstyle
if you do this and flow seomoz
for advice I bet you rank very well much better then the guy with a EMD
Hope I helped,
Tom

How get rid of 403 crawl error?
My wordpress website has 162 crawl 403 errors. Based on what I read it means that the server is denying crawlers to access the pages. The pages itself will load so guessing it's just an issue with crawlers only. How do I go about fixing this issue?

Homepage ranking above category page, but no keywords in there! Why?
So...we have a 5 year diary product page at TOAD diaries. It's had a lot of on page treatment: keyword in title, alt text, decent copy, pictures of the product etc. Find it here - http://www.toaddiaries.co.uk/shop/5-year-diary So we rank 22nd for 5 year diary, but google sends the customer to the home page! There no mention of 5 year diaries on there. Seems ridiculous! I can't help but think we should rank better for this as it's a low difficulty term (according to keyword difficulty tool on MOZ). Any thoughts on why this might be? Oh, Google HAS indexed the 5 year diary page. Used a search operator to check that first (thanks to you guys on here:) ) Thanks.

Could incorrect H1 tag stop a page ranking?
A few weeks ago I added an image to the top of each page and somehow (I've only just noticed) the image was inside an h1 tag. Presumably this would be the first element google would crawl and would it consider the image the h1 possibly confusing google about the pages content? My actual h1 further down the page would then possible be disregarded by google? The pages I am talking about have dropped in google and I wonder if this could have been the issue?

Transferring authority from one domain to another
My dilemma For example: If I have a website ranking at number 11 for (Keyword) and there is a site named www.(Keyword).com ranking at number 12 for (Keyword), if I were to buy this site and redirect to my own site, would this be at all beneficial? Any advice would be much appreciated!
