Why is this page not ranking?
-
Can you please tell me why this page is not ranking.
The page doesn't rank at all for keywords but even if I copy a line or 2 of text it still doesn't rank for that text.
Any help will be much appreciated.

The keywords you are trying to target are a bit competitive and you don’t have enough authority to get this page ranked in search engines. The idea is to get some high quality domains inlinking to this so that this page can rank for the desired keywords!
-
I checked and saw that other pages from your site do rank. For example, reward charts, reward charts for kids, chore chart template at #5, #8 and #15 respectively. Looks like Behavior Charts is relatively a higher volume keyword and to me it's a page authority issue. You probably need to build some internal and external links to improve your PA and DA to better rank for this and other keywords as others have also recommended.
I hope this helps.

It's because you're gettin' beat. You need to build some links!
You only have 32 linking root domains (according to OSE) and a DA of 26. That's why you're gettin beat, I'd venture to guess.
Time to SEO it up!

I checked and I don't have any notices. I think it is related to an algo and not to a penalty as I haven't done anything that I could be penalized for.
It used to rank for behavior charts but it doesn't anymore.
-
I just looked for "needs to earn should be determined by the age of the child." in both Google and Bing, and that phrase shows up in both engines, so your site is indexed. Have you gone into Google Webmaster Tools and looked for any notices?
-
No. It isn't new. It is indexed but just doesn't rank at all although it used to. I don't know when it stopped ranking so its difficult to know which algo caused it to stop ranking.
-
It's definitely in the Google index and has been cached. Is this a new page?

Help with the indexation of my page
Hi all, I have a problem with my website. When writing site:www.pinesapiensa.com there're no pages indexed although the webmaster tools tells me that the sitemap file has been processed in 13 May and the number of indexed paged are 21. ¿What could be happening? I have to mention that there are two domains "www.piensapiensa.es" and "www.piensapiensa.com" addressing the same website and there's a redirection from piensapiensa.com to piensapiensa.com but it doesn't work properly. Thanks

Why home page ranks higher than keyword-optimized page
We have a page that is optimized for the keyword "job scheduling". A search on the keyword "job scheduling" results in this page not ranking at all, while our home page (uc4.com) ranks third. Could you provide some ideas/suggestions as to why this would be the case and how to make our job scheduling page rank higher? Thanks, claudia

Page Indexing
Hello All Nice easy question! I've made some on page changes to page titles, content, H1s etc but wanted to know if there was a way to check if Google has reindexed the page since the changes were made? I appreciate the different factors that will help improve your crawl rate like new content, external links, domain authority etc. I made these changes around 2 weeks ago. Google has cached the pages since I made the changes but not picked up on the new page titles in the search results. Cheers Todd

Avoiding "Duplicate Page Title" and "Duplicate Page Content" - Best Practices?
We have a website with a searchable database of recipes. You can search the database using an online form with dropdown options for: Course (starter, main, salad, etc)

Cooking Method (fry, bake, boil, steam, etc)
Preparation Time (Under 30 min, 30min to 1 hour, Over 1 hour) Here are some examples of how URLs may look when searching for a recipe: find-a-recipe.php?course=starter
find-a-recipe.php?course=main&preperation-time=30min+to+1+hour
find-a-recipe.php?cooking-method=fry&preperation-time=over+1+hour There is also pagination of search results, so the URL could also have the variable "start", e.g. find-a-recipe.php?course=salad&start=30 There can be any combination of these variables, meaning there are hundreds of possible search results URL variations. This all works well on the site, however it gives multiple "Duplicate Page Title" and "Duplicate Page Content" errors when crawled by SEOmoz. I've seached online and found several possible solutions for this, such as: Setting canonical tag Adding these URL variables to Google Webmasters to tell Google to ignore them Change the Title tag in the head dynamically based on what URL variables are present However I am not sure which of these would be best. As far as I can tell the canonical tag should be used when you have the same page available at two seperate URLs, but this isn't the case here as the search results are always different. Adding these URL variables to Google webmasters won't fix the problem in other search engines, and will presumably continue to get these errors in our SEOmoz crawl reports. Changing the title tag each time can lead to very long title tags, and it doesn't address the problem of duplicate page content. I had hoped there would be a standard solution for problems like this, as I imagine others will have come across this before, but I cannot find the ideal solution. Any help would be much appreciated. Kind Regards5
