Keywords ranking however the URL shown is not related to the ranked keyword?
-
Hi,
Some of our ranked keywords and URLs are not related. e.g. the served URL is not optimised for the specific keyword, any ideas?
Thank you
Daniela

Thanks Monica, seems the unrelated URL that is not being served is in the manage page grade section so I have removed this. Will the keyword & this URL (now deleted on the manage page grade section) then be updated as the URL is still showing related to the keyword in the keyword rankings section? Or will I have to wait?

I guess I was a little confused about which page was the targeted page. When you are looking in the SERPs are you searching while you are signed into anything? That can skew your results quite a bit. I would advise that you try to look while you are not logged into anything, and I find I get more accurate results in Internet explorer. Clear your browsing history and cache before you search also. That will help give you cleaner results.

Yes the chosen served page by Google (http://www.eurekaaddons.co.uk/products/sage-200-price-book-copy-discounts/) is serving and ranking as it has a B grade.
I will remove the unrelated page from the URLs and will add this in for its related keywords.

The reason that is ranking in my opinion is because the exact keyword is in the URL.
_The keyword is sage 200 price and the ranked URL is showing page http://www.eurekaaddons.co.uk/products/sales-order-plus-for-sage-200/. _**However, this optimized page does not have the exact keyword in the URL. **
You can delete the page that is not optimized, but you should double check the page that you want to rank for and see where else you can make changes to better optimize for your term.

Hi,
The keyword is sage 200 price and the ranked URL is showing page http://www.eurekaaddons.co.uk/products/sales-order-plus-for-sage-200/.
However, when you search the keyword the URL: http://www.eurekaaddons.co.uk/products/sage-200-price-book-copy-discounts/ appears.
Both of these URLs are listed in moz under manage page grades, should I delete the URL that is not relevant? The URL moz is using is not optimised for this keyword and is graded as an F.
Thank you,

Sometimes pages rank for a keyword that we are targeting because the page is seen as relevant. For example, my keyword is 22kw generator. I have 2 models that rank for this term, plus a page that just happens to mention the 22kw generators.
The best thing to do is to make sure that the page you are targeting the keyword on is correctly optimized and add a few internal links to the page from other high traffic pages on your site. Adding a couple reputable links to the page would also help. If you are tracking the keyword here in moz, go to Search - On Page Optimization - Manage Page Grades and remove the page you don't want attached to the keyword. Also, if you export that table into a CSV file, you can sort it by kw and see if the term is ranking on more than one page.

Hi Daniela,
If your URL is not optimized for keyword than you should use url rewriting to have keywords in URL.
Thanks

How do I do keyword research when search volume is unknown
Hi Mozzers! I do a lot of work in niche areas, and one issue I often confront in keyword research is unknown search volume. That is, I'll be doing keyword research in Keyword Explorer or Gooogle Search Console, and for the most relevant keywords, I find either very low search volumes, null search volumes, or "Data not available." How do I make good keyword planning decisions when I can't find good data for search volume? Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Andy

Keywords and content query
Hi we are in the process of redesigning a web site and I’m looking to ensure each of the pages are correctly optimized. I’m concerned that some of the pages do not allow for text or content . From an optimization perspective is there a general rule around the amount of text a page should have and the amount/ration of keywords they should contain? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Keywords moving up, except...
The keywords on my page are moving up, except for one. I have routinely ranked between 13-15 for one particular keyword. I am aware that it is a broad term, however, at one point, I showed up on page one at #6, and then dropped right back down to where I was. The website it "sexaddict.com" and, don't worry, it's for addicts so you won't find anything but help and resources there. The keyword is "sex addiction." Thanks, Ryan

Keyword research for new website
Hi guys, I'm pretty new to all this so please bare with me if I sound like a total noob. I've been tasked with doing keyword research for our new website to work out what we want to rank for. We are a b2b outsource provider of telecommunication services, contact centres etc. I'm looking for advice on how best to start the keyword research, what I should be looking for etc. At the moment I'm using a list of keywords provided by the sales team, running these through uber suggest for other variations and then putting them through Google's keyword planner. Once I've done that I'm looking at ones with higher volumes of searches with low competition. Is there anything that I'm missing? I'm trying to cross reference this with intent, looking for searches linked to people wanting help, a provider, to buy etc. Thanks in advance for any help guys, I really appreciate it. Leo
