Help me to understand why this page doesn't rank
-
Hello everyone.
I am trying to understand why most of my website category pages don't show up in the in the first 50 organic results on Google, despite my high website DA and high PA of those pages. We used to rank high a few years ago, not clear why most of those pages have almost completely disappeared.
So, just to take one as an example, please, help me to understand why this page doesn't shows up in the first 50 organic search results for the keyword "cello sheet music":
http://www.virtualsheetmusic.com/downloads/Indici/Cello.html
I really can't explain why, unless we are under some sort of "penalization" or similar (a curse?!)... I have analyzed any possible metric, and can't find a logical explanation.
Looking forward for your thoughts guys!
All the best,
Fab.

That's just the result of my frustration for not having more than a single answer after so many days of opening this thread. I have not offended or dissed anybody specific with that. My intent was just a wake-up call to anyone could bump into this thread.
So, EGOL, please, let's stop here, ok? I am really interested to know if someone else can give me constructive feedback and advice.
Thank you fr your cooperation.

Well, I am very disappointed that with all the "experts" we have on these forums, nobody is bothering to answer my question above or even just to give a hint. I guess it is too hard to give an answer. If so, I can consider myself an expert too then!
Has SEO lost any hope of rationalizing problems?
From this very thread. I can get ten more.

I am sorry, but I really think you are confusing me with someone else, I don't think to have been rude to anyone, ever. It's not in my nature. Yours is a strong accusation, so, please, show me where I have been rude on these forums. I am curious.
I'd really like to get back to the topic and stop this non-sense as soon as possible.

I am not confusing you with anyone else.
Why are you deleting posts?

Fabrizo,
I am a member of Moz, not a staff member. So my comments are my own and are not approved by Moz.
I don't think that my comments in this thread were rude or offensive. I am only telling you what you need to know.
If anyone reads a few dozen of your posts they will easily see that you are often rude to the people who try to help you. People stop providing free assistance when the person asking for help isn't nice.
-
Ok, good. Please, tell me where you found issues that I could have fixed with the advice I received on these forums in the past. I can't really find any and that's why I posted this question in the first place.
I don't think though that a comment like yours should be allowed on these forums, mostly from the MOZ staff. In my opinion, that was rude and pretty offensive.
-
I've looked at your website for a few hours. And, given you enough suggestions that I feel justified in making those statements.

I am so sorry to read this, but you have no idea how seriously I have taken any advice I got from people here and anywhere else. I have spent the past 6 years working dozens of hours every day to apply what suggested and to figure this out Panda related problems, and not sleeping at night because of this. How dare you saying that??!! On what basis? Have you looked at my website to understand the work I have put into it to avoid any Panda related issues? I guess not otherwise you wouldn't have posted such a non-sense post. I have applied all and everyone of the tips and advised fixings I got from the "experts", but none of them worked apparently (if I am really still under a Panda penalty, which I strongly doubt at this point).
You may also want to checkout this other thread where I am specifically discussing Panda:
https://moz.com/community/q/panda-rankings-and-other-non-sense-issues
Please, look at the code on my website pages and tell me WHERE you find evidence that I deserve to be nuked by Panda and such because of my "laziness", then I'll keep discussing with you.
PS: Where have I ever "dissed" advice given by people on this forum? Please, tell me, I am curious. I don't think to have ever disrespected people's advice the way you have just disrespected my question herein. I am very disappointed by MOZ if you are really the "Content Director" on these forums.

Any more ideas? Am I under any Google penalty of some sort (Panda, or what else?)
-
Thanks for your reply, but I don't think that'll make any difference. I tried any kind of different title for the past year, and didn't make any difference. Also, have a look at all the sites before us and you'll see they have even longer titles and URLs without keywords inside exactly like us.
So... what else?
-
Your page title is 71 characters long. Try erase word “instantly”. You will get title 62 characters long.
In the page's URL no keywords are used.
Optimize images.

Should you 'noindex' Checkout Pages?
Today I was reviewing my Moz analytics and suddenly noticed 1,000 issues with pages without a meta description. I reviewed the list and learned it is 1,000 checkout pages. That's because my website has thousands of agency pages from which you can buy a product, and it reflects that difference on each version of the checkout. So, I was thinking about no-indexing (but continuing to 'follow') these checkout pages, but wondering if it has any knock-on effects I may be unaware of? Any assistance is much appreciated. Luke

Why Aren't My Images Being Indexed?
Hi, One of my clients submitted an image sitemap with 465 images. It was submitted on July 20 2017 to Google Search Console. None of the submitted images have been indexed. I'm wondering why? Here's the image sitemap: http://www.tagible.com/images_sitemap.xml We do use a CDN for the images, and the images are hosted on a subdomain of the client's site: ex. https://photos.tagible.com/images/Les_Invalides_Court_Of_Honor.jpg Thanks in advance! Cheers,

Optimized pages ranking lower than homepage with keywords
Ok, I know this question has been out there before, but i don't know how fo search for it specifically enough. I have several keywords that rank higher on my home page. As you know MOZ assigns keywords to whichever page on your site popping up in search first. So even though i have A-grade optimized pages for a particular keyword, that page may not pop up BEFORE the homepage for instance, on searches. In many cases, the homepage is grade "F" for a particular keyword, yet its pulling up first for most of my keywords. I know that my homepage has more rank because it gets the most visits and i'm sure we can't really optimize the homepage for EVERY keyword. What is the best thing to do in this situation? Do i just need to wait for my optimized page to catch up in rank, or is there a trick to optimizing homepage to ALL key words at grade "A" level? Do i need to keep back-linking to my optimized page directly to get the juice up? I created all these great optimized pages for specific keywords, but my homepage which shows "F" grade is the one pulling up 4th or 5th on searches Help??

Will links to a subdomain help it rank?
I have an affiliate subdomain on a larger company's domain. (For example I have: www.victor.company.com on www.company.com). Would working to attain backlinks to the subdomain help it rank or will I just be putting forth my effort and helping the domain rank?

Tool to calculate the number of pages in Google's index?
When working with a very large site, are there any tools that will help you calculate the number of links in the Google index? I know you can use site:www.domain.com to see all the links indexed for a particular url. But what if you want to see the number of pages indexed for 100 different subdirectories (i.e. www.domain.com/a, www.domain.com/b)? is there a tool to help automate the process of finding the number of pages from each subdirectory in Google's index?
