Ranking on google search

Hello Mozzers
Moz On page grader shows A grade for the particular URL,but my page was not ranking on top 100 Google search.
Any help is appreciated ,Thanks

I'd actually recommend checking out the Moz Keyword Difficulty Tool, and the Full SERP Analysis Report it can generate. That can give you a breakdown of the factors that are most likely helping the top 10 sites for a given keyword rank, which can in turn help you work out what you'll need to do.
Cyrus Shepard made a great video on it here.

Honestly speaking there is no such tool exist that precisely let you know why you're not ranking and others are.
But in terms of backlinks comparison, you may utilize Moz analytics feature and OSE's "Compare Link Metrics" & "Link Opportunities" options.
Thanks,

The site which was ranking at no 4 and 5 does not have much optimization and backlinks but it was ranking at no 4.
Is there any tool to find out why the site is ranking at no 4 and why it is not.
Thanks

If your page secured the "A" grade in on-page, it doesn't mean you will be in top 100 now.
Various other factors including backinks, targeted traffic, technical SEO things and lots of other things are also very important.
Hope this helps!

Hi there
The page grader is great for on-page optimization for particular keywords or queries, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee rankings.
Reason being - the keywords/queries you are trying to rank for could be incredibly competitive or difficulty to rank for. Your industry SERPs could be taken over by big brand names or companies that have been around a long time with authority built in the industry.
There are a multitude of factors to consider in your ranking position:
Domain / Page Authority
Backlinks
Personalized Search Personas, Keyword Research, & Content
Schema markup opportunities
Local SEO
And a ton more...I would recommend paying attention to your Average Position in Google Search Console so that you can pay attention to how Google is ranking your site directly. Given personalized search and the factors that play into it, this is a good gauge on where you rank across multiple factors (location, device, search history, etc.)
I would also recommend you check out the multiple guides that Moz has, as well as the Moz Academy - both have tons of great resources and can get you started on the right foot to ranking for what you want to be ranking for.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Google Search Operators Acting Strange
Hi Mozers, I'm using search operators for a count of how many pages have been indexed for each section of the site. I was able to download the first 1000 pages from Google Search Console but there are more than 1000 pages indexed, so I'm using operators for a count (even if I can't get the complete list of indexed URLs). [Although, if there is a better way, PLEASE let me know!] Anyway, in terms of search operators: from my understanding, the more general the URL, the more results should come up. However, when I put in the domain site:www.XXX it gives me FEWER results than when I put in site:www.XXX/. When I add the backslash to the end of the domain, it gives me MORE results. And when I put in site:www.AAA/BBB/CC it gives me MORE results than when I put in site:www.AAA/BBB. What's with this? Yael

How to Get Rid of Dates Shown In Google Search Results
When I enter "Site: URL" to check what a search how Google displays search result, a date appears at the very front. This takes away several characters, really valuable real estate. How can I stop Google from displaying these dates? There are certain Wordpress plugins like "WP Date Remover" however the seem to only apply to blog posts. Dates are appearing on results on all my Wordpress pages. Is there an internal setting in Wordpress that will allow me to remove dates for these non blogpost pages?

They also have few backlinks I do have few backlinks only. I am doing very high google adwords and my conversion rate is very very good. But do you think because I am paying since last 3 year high to google because of that google have some setting or strategy that those who perform well in adwords so not to bring up in organic?

Thanks!

Will multiple domains from the same company rank for the same keyword search?
I'm trying to convince people that we need good marketing reasons for starting multiple domains, as it will be more difficult to rank multiple sites. Does anyone know if Google actively discourages multiple domains from the same company appearing in the search results for the same keyword? We are creating a separate content website which is related to an existing company website. Would you agree that is best to have these sites on one domain with the content site on a sub-domain perhaps? I'm worried about duplication of effort and cross-keyword targeting in particular. These sites would not have duplicate content.

Google penalized site--307/302 redirect to new site-- Via intermediate link—New Site Ranking Gone..?
Hi, I have a site that google had placed a manual link penalty on, let’s call this our
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Robdob2013
company site. We tried and tried to get the penalty removed, and finally gave up and purchased another name. It was our understanding that we could safely use either a 302 or 307 temporary redirect in order to redirect people from our old domain to our new one.. We put this into place several months and everything seemed to be going along well. Several days ago I noticed that our root domain name had dropped for our selected keyword from position 9 to position 65. Upon looking into our GWT under “Links to Your site” , I have found many, many, many links which were pointed to our old google penalized domain name to our new root domain name each of this links had a sub heading “Via this intermediate link -> Our Old Domain Google Penalized Domain Name” In light of all of this going on, I have removed the 307/302 redirect, have brought the
old penalized site back which now consists of a basic “we’ve moved page” which is linked to our new site using a rel=’nofollow’ I am hoping that -1- Our new domain has probably not received a manual penalty and is most likely now
received some sort of algorithmic penalty, and that as these “intermediate links” will soon disappear because I’m no longer doing the 302/307 from the old sight to the new. Do you think this is the case now or that I now have a new manual penalty place on the new
domain name.. I would very much appreciate any comments and/or suggestions as to what I should or can do to get this fixed. I need to still keep the old domain name as this address has already been printed on business cards many, many years ago.. Also on a side note some of the sub pages of the new root domain are still ranking very
well, it’s only the root domain that is now racking awfully.. Thanks,0 -
Good Google SERPS but poor bing and yahoo rankings.
My site has some good google SERPS but yahoo and bing don't rank it well at all. I know of course they have different algorithms to google but I would expect there to be some correlation. Why does google appear to consider my site valuable and return it for search queries and yahoo/bing don't?
