Why is it outranking the stronger, more powerful websites?
-
As of April 15th in Australia using UK search the top 3 contenders for this search phrase are:
www.inuvate.co.uk/web-design-mansfield/
dijitul.com/web-design-mansfield/
Here are some contributing factors that, when combined are likely to be causing this site to outrank all the others for the search phrase 'web design mansfield'.
1. TITLE
The title of the site has the exact phrase at the very beginning where as www.purposemedia.co.uk/ and quite a few of the others in the top 10 do not.
2. LINKS
-
External: VS other sites that have that exact phrase in their title, inuvate.co.uk has either a higher number of root domain links than others in the top 10 OR has a higher ratio of RD links vs total links. They have used their links wisely and have not spammed the interwebs.
-
Internal: Inuvate uses internal content linking where as other top contenders are not using the exact match phrase. It is also completely optimised for just this one phrase... Using the exact match phrase all the time is not always a good thing however it appears that the density isn't too high in this case.
3. SPEED
-
inuvate is not as optimised for speed as purposemedia.co.uk however has a shorter load time
-
inuvate has a lower ping time than the other top contenders
-
It's more than half the total page size in MB than dijitul
4. CONTENT
www.inuvate.co.uk/web-design-mansfield/ has a word count of 648 vs the other having <600
The content on the inuvate page flows nicely and unlke dijitul doesn't spam the exact match phrase at the very start of the first sentence in the first paragraph AND the H1 AND the H2. That is just pure SPAM. Purposemedia doesn't contain the exact phrase anywhere except the title... if they did, they may be able to own this search term.
inuvate also has much more meaningful content that you can actually read without feeling like you're reading something written by a school kid.
The above are just a few factors (i'm sure there are many more) but these combined along with others do make a BIG difference.
Big love from GEEKSEO!

He has the basics covered, is using the keyword 1st in Title,Desc. On page he leads the H1 with the keyword, uses it in the body and as a link. Position 2 & 3 do not have these all together. Plus Pos 2 & 3 using as external site wide anchors which is probably hurting them the most.

Choosing a video hoster for a website
Hi guys, I would love to hear your opinion about which video hoster is recommendable for embedding videos on a website and why? So far, I can't decide between Youtube, Vimeo and Wistia. Youtube: + large community, snippets in Google - advertisements Vimeo: + appealing look - small audience Wistia: + easy to customize, statistics - no community, no snippets in Google Thanks in advance for any input!

Using Amazon Product Reviews on my Website
Does anyone know if I can use Amazon Reviews for products that I put on Amazon? I "own" the listing on Amazon because we are the exclusive manufacturers of this product so the review is only referring to products that were sold through our company. Thanks,

Is it considered duplicate contentnt to post a video to youtube then embed that video on our website's FAQs page?
Essentially, I am answering popular questions we are asked and answering them in a video. Once I post it on youtube, I take the video, add it to our FAQ page, and when someone clicks on the question, a new page opens with the question, the video, and the written answer to the question underneath it. Thanks for any advice. watch?v=bwGRmvnCn7w

Local SEO: How to optimize for multiple cities on website
Hi, I couldn't find any reference to this, so if the answer is already here, I would appreciate a link to the answer. That said, my question is this: When a local business services a large geographic area, I wanted to know how to optimize for the multiple towns? I already have the main city in my title tags, but there are at least 40 areas that surround this town. Should I have a "Services Area" page, and place all the towns there, or should they all be in the footer? I saw this one guy - in the same niche who put all the towns in his meta keyword section - but I think that's incorrect, especially since Google doesn't look at that particular meta tag. Any help would be appreciated.
