How can stie A be outranking site B?
-
Hi everyone. I seem to have a lot of questions the past couple of days!
Take a look at these two URLs:
Site B:
http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/product/roland-m-200i-digital-mixer
I will mail 2-dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies to anyone who can tell me why Site A massively outranks Site B for the term "roland m-200i" - Seriously.
Thanks in advance!

Absolutely. I should have linked the thought to a couple post.. see
EGOL's thoughts here; There is also an associate response to some more post on the subject.
Hope that helps Dana, and I don't want people to think I solved the issue, but it if nothing more is certainly a contributing factor.

Thanks Don,
To summarize, we are trying to target the same keyword on too many different pages?
Would that be it, in your opinion, in a nutshell?

Keyword cannibalization.

H1: **Roland M-200i **32 Channel Digital MixerThe blog appears to be wordpress which I assume you know has some tendency to archive post and cause SEO headaches. However, this scenario is likely just confusing the bots.
That is my thoughts, I didn't dig too deep but it was the very first thing I noticed.

How can I find out the exact match visitors for a competitor's website?
Hi, I'm trying to find a way of finding out the estimated number of exact match visitors that a competitor's website has got. I know that SEO agencies can find this out, and there must be a way of doing this for myself. Thanks

Keyword Search - another site bypassed me and they are not ranked well...
I was trying to optimize the keywords "music for kids" . This is a no brainer because my URL is "musicforkids" My On-Page Report Card for "music for kids" gives my site a "A". The on page report card for the other site gets an "F". But the other site comes up number ONE in the organic Google search and my site comes up number three. The two sites above me receive a crappy on page Keyword report for the key words "music for kids" but they still come up above me for that search term. What's the deal?

How can a site rank higher when you beat them by A LOT on virtually every SEOMOZ factor?
Any insight into what's driving these results would be appreciated. Another site ranks #6 and we rank #22 on a keyword that scores 67% for "Keyword Difficulty", but we score significantly higher than them on almost every ranking factor including having nearly 10 times more backlinks along with higher PA and DA scores,etc. Here is a comparison from the Keyword Difficulty Tool report.

Government Sites Cluttering Results?
Hi Guys, Have you ever come across government sites that are cluttering up SERP's that you're trying to rank for? For a new site that I'm working on one of the keyword terms is "driving test cancellations" and is in the UK. 3 of the top 4 results are government related sites which have verry little (if not nothing) to do with the keywords. Whilst these government sites are (very) loosley related to the keyword terms, and understandably have high pa/da, what would be the best way to try and rrank higher than these sites. I'm in the process of building links and social profiles - I'm really just wondering if there's something I'm missing that is an "easy fix" for jumping ahead of these sites - or getting them removed due to their lack of relevence.
