Baffled why my site is not improving in rankings.
-
Site shows up in the Map results when ever Google shows them. But for all other organic terms site ranks way back.
Have lots of unique content and one page grade of an A.
The site is http://alexpadillabailbonds.com
The main page is optimized for "sacramento bail bonds" with a Moz grade of A yet its not included in the search results. It was before.
Any insight from any one will greatly help.
Thanks.

When you SEO a site there is a few things to look at never trust one site for your results moz.com is the best in my opinion but Alexa is great as well. New Domains are put in something call Sandbox stage(now google will say they don't) but it is use so that you cant just buy a name and word stuff and link build it up too fast.
So lets start with what i see <a class="attribute-value">Sacramento Bail Bonds - Arrested? Contact 24 hour bail bonds in Sacramento CA and get out of Sacramento jail now. Call (916) 558-6900 for bail now.</a> Remove the (in, and, get, of) dont use conjunctions if you can avoid them.
Also you need to thicken your content. Look over your ALT imgs tags make sure they are all different.
-How old is the site?-How many links do you pay for IE (BBB-yellow pages)

I hope you take this as constructive instead of taking this personally, but your page is not doing anything well in regards to onsite or offsite SEO.
Here is just a small taste of what is wrong with your website:
-
You are keyword stuffing like a crazy person. You mention bail bonds 2 dozen times on your home page alone when I stopped counting.
-
You have no in bound links to speak of. http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/domains?site=alexpadillabailbonds.com
-
Your site load time is terrible. I stopped measuring after 45 seconds.
-
None of your blog posts are indexed in Google (I couldn't check it because your website was down).
Here is a good list of ranking factors.

Good luck! You have a lot of work to do.

How to rank for a keyword
Hi guys, I'm looking to rank a new blog for a search term which we currently already rank #1 for. I want to create a blog which provides a better solution to a searchers query and knock our current #1 page for this new one. Is there a way to do this simply without losing the real-estate the currently ranked #1 page has already accumulated? Or is just a matter of working on this new blog to find it's own way to the top? Thanks in advance, James

Does traffic for branded searches help a site rank for general terms?
A year or two ago we put up some websites which were specific to brands we own. Sure enough those sites (eg 'myBrand.com') started to rank pretty well for those brand terms eg 'mybrand curling tongs' (it's not curling tongs, btw, but you get the idea). We were getting a decent amount of traffic presumably from people who have bought or seen these products on our amazon/ebay stores. Before long, we see us starting to rank well for non branded searches eg 'curling tongs' even among decent competition. Next thing you know I'm getting told by the boss that we need to put up websites for all specific ranges, not just brands, because specificity is a bonus for ranking well. While there's probably a point that a site for MybrandCurlingTongs lends itself well to ranking for curling tongs, is there also an element that the branded searches we got (via making our brand known on amazon/ebay) helped the site gain recognition and authority? As such a new website about 'ionising hair dryers' would not rank well based on being specific, because it wouldn't be helped by a lot of branded traffic?

Worth contributing articles to a Page Rank 1 site?
My intuition tells me that it is not going to help with any SEO link benefit by posting an article as a guest writer on a Page Rank site of #1. It's a rather new fashion content site. The article would be informative and not a sales pitch. The only link is to our url home page in the bio. I've been told that links from low page ranking sites don't help anymore. But maybe over time the site will achieve higher PR status, and then the link in it would help us? Any thoughts? Thanks! ron

Site Navigation
Hi Mozzers, I am an SEO at uncommongoods.com and looking for your opinion on our site nav. Currently our nav & URLs are structured in 3 levels. From the top level down, they are: 1. Category ex: http://www.uncommongoods.com/home-garden 2. Subcat ex: http://www.uncommongoods.com/home-garden/bed-bath 3. Family ex:http://www.uncommongoods.com/home-garden/bed-bath/bath-accessories Right now, all levels are accessible from our top nav but we are considering removing the family pages. If we did that, Google could still find & crawl links to the family pages, but they would have to drill down to the subcat pages to find them. Do you guys think this would help or hurt our SEO efforts? Thanks! -Zack

How do you prevent the mobile site becoming a duplicate of the full browser site?
We have a larger site with 100k+ pages, we need to create a mobile site which gets indexed in the mobile engines but I am afraid that google bot will consider these pages duplicates of the normal site pages. I know I can block it on the robots.txt but I still need it to be indexed for mobile search engines and I think google has a mobile crawler as well. Feel free to give me any other tips that I should follow while trying to optimize the mobile version. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

How to see which site Google views as a scraper site?
If we have content on our site that is found on another site, what is the best way to know which site Google views as the original source? If you search for a line of the content such as "xyz abc etc" and the other site shows before yours in search results, does that mean that Google views that site as the original source?
