Rank product pages
-
What are the best ways to rank your product pages, We have a few ecommerce sites and we want to increase the position of both our product and catagory pages. I know that gaining more popularity will help to increase the DA but I want my product pages to rank higher.

I would add to Rob's suggestions that you need to make sure you have user generated content on these pages. If you do not add reviews to your pages you will have a very difficult time ranking. You will have to make sure that you have something uniquely valuable to offer your customers, something they can't find on any other site, and that is why user generated content is so important on product pages. You can only rewrite a product description so many ways. Chances are, your static content will not provide anything to a customer they can't find elsewhere. With a low DA in a competitive market, UGC is your best friend.
I would also add that it helps to have a video or two on your product pages. Add a video on how the product works or record an in house review of the product. It will really help your rankings and user experience.

Hello John,
There are a lot of ways to do this. I will try to be brief and to the point:
- Brand Link Building
Targeting individual products can be time-intensive on e-commerce sites so sometimes it is best to apply link-building procedures to entire brands and sub-link to individual products only when necessary. This won't create the enormous hype for a single product that linking to the individual page would, but it does generally lead to better customer interaction overall.
- Product Content Marketing
If you want to specifically target a single product (or a couple), you might consider content marketing. Create unique content on the product and circulate it around authority sites in your market niche. Create hype for it individually. Get links to the product page specifically. This isn't a particularly efficient way of going about marketing a large e-commerce site, but can be useful if the site is only targeting a couple products.
- On-Site Factors
You have to ensure that your internal linking structure and your keyword matching are done properly - exact matches aren't necessary, you just want to have the correct keywords shown on the relevant pages.
You are already on the right track - increasing DA will naturally lead to more traffic for your websites, your focus should be on producing quality content, building relevant links and ensuring a positive user experience. This will naturally lead to higher conversions and greater revenue.
If you have further questions feel free to ask.
All the best,
Rob

Something is strange, should be ranking fairly well - no visibility.
Hi Guys, This one is freakin' me out a little. We built my site and optimised it fairly well, especially on this page: http://snowdog.se/dogsledding/ where I am trying to rank for search term "dog sledding in lapland" now I receive a 95 rating for optimisation, I cant see anything wrong with it. We have a sitemap all seems well enough in the Google search console data but heck!!, we have submitted it to major engines but I have zero percent visibility. Can anyone see what's going on here? Free Sleddog Trip to the winner. Hahahaha. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It must be something simple or weird! Kind Regards, Sno.....

Should i rank for one tail keyword or long tail keywords
Hi guys, for example i run a coupon site and would like to rank for the brand keyword ASOS, should i just rank for the long tail keywords for example "ASOS discount code" instead of just "ASOS"? even the traffic for ASOS itself is MUCH higher than ASOS discount code? And the relevancy of ranking at "ASOS" is fine too because is somehow relevant? would ranking long tail helps with one tail keyword too? And assuming that i am already on the second page for the keyword "ASOS" and knowing is not hard to be page one. should i just rank the one keyword?

Is pulling automated news feeds on my home page a bad thing?
I am in charge of a portal that relies on third-party content for its news feeds. the third-party in this case is a renowned news agency in the united kingdom. After the panda and penguin updates, will these feeds end up hurting my search engine rankings? FYI: these feeds occupy only 20 percent of content on my domain. The rest of the content is original.

Link Building: High Ranking Site vs. Relevancy
Hello, When link building, is it acceptable to link with a site that has high authority but has minimal relevancy to our site? For example, if we sell nutritional products and the link exchange would be with a site that relates to free coupons, would that work? Also, if we are publishing articles on other sites, should we also publish them on our own site? Should we add "nofollow" if we publish them in our site?
