Why is this page ranking #2?
-
Hello, I am hoping someone can shed a bit of light on why this page http://www.leveragerx.com/physician-mortgages is ranking #2 for "physician loans"?
It isn't optimized for that keyword and PA is only 1, DA is 9.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Britney,
Happy Friday! Thanks so much for the quick response. That is so crazy how that 1 link could cause such a huge boost. I was thinking maybe it was the amount of fresh content they had? As you can see, that page isn't even optimized at all for the keyword. I also wonder if there are new links we can't see in Keyword Explorer yet?
Best,
Ricardo

Always fascinated by these ranking riddles!!
...Sooo it appears to be a bit of a linking network that is working in this particular case. This is my theory:
1. http://siliconprairienews.com/2016/06/leveragerx-helps-doctors-connect-with-financial-experts/ (DA 56 & PA 43) is linking to www.leveragerx.com (nothing spammy or strange going on).
2. siliconprairienews.com however, has a huge linking network with over 10,000 backlinks...
The simple point to leveragerx back in June seems to be all it took for them to jump up the page.

History of Page or Domain Authority...how?
Hi everyone, is there a way (tools) to see the "history" of any given website in terms of Page or Domain Authority? Like if I went to Alexa and typed in www.angieslist.com it tells me the site ranks #**2,691 **Globally and #670 in the USA. But, is there a way to see how the rank has gone up over time, or where it was a year, two or more ago? Thanks

Using Semantic Language to rank, how much stock do you put into this? (LSI)
In theory, analyzing the top results for a given phrase and comparing the common words and phrases would indicate what google considers relative language to the query. Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) was and still is a buzz phrase for some SEOs. But how much stock do you give to the idea that if you can determine the common language for top rankers and then duplicate that language and density of common words that your website will then rank for that query you desire? Has anyone here tested the theory of using semantic language from the results themselves to better rank?

Tool for finding what keywords a competitor ranks for?
Does anyone know of any good tools that display what keywords a competitor ranks for? I have many competitors that I know get a lot of traffic, but I'm not entirely sure where the traffic comes from so it would be nice to plug in their url and get a general overview of what keywords they rank for and what positions.

How to find a neutral rank for a webpage a keyword term?
Hi!
Competitive Research | | lilactree
I'm sure this has been answered here already - I'm just not searching for the right words. I'm trying to find the ranking for a website for specific terms. Being that the search engine remembers what I search (I try to log out, privately browse, etc), everything matters and impacts my search. I'm trying to see what a website ranks for a person who has never visited that website before, or doesn't have other factors influencing the result. I tried the keyword research tool, and while that seems to deliver what I'm after, it only gives 1-10. Even though these are the coveted positions 😉 I'd like to know if a website isn't ranking there, and is further down. We track the progress made after work is done to a page, to see if it moves up, and what other tweaks we need to make to improve the rankings and attract clicks. Thanks!0 -
