Best SEO Analysis Tool
-
I'm looking for a tool that will analyze a webpage for a specific keyword phrase and deliver good recommendations as to what I can do (on page and off page) to increase the Google ranking for that keyword phrase.
I'm trying IBP now, but so far the results haven't been good. Any suggestions?
-
Thanks Mike.
After a second look, I see another page of our site ranking well for the keyword phrase. It's ranked 5th. That probably has something to do with why the other page is ranked so poorly.
The page ranked 5th is also getting an "A" rating from the On Page Keyword Optimization tool. It has a PA of 39, the DA is 50.
The PA of pages ranked 1 - 4 are; 33, 40, (unknown: Amazon), and 25.

Page Authority is explained here.
www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/page-authority
It's our number one metric to understand why a client ranks some where on a page. Have lot's of clients who start with an A grade on the Keyword tool, but are not ranked. It's the Pages "PA" that has the largest determining factor in ranking. (In general)
-
The site I tested is a national site. I'm not familiar with "PA" and "DA". Could you spell that out for me. Thanks you.

If your page is getting an A, can you tell us the PA and DA on the page and domain, and what those are for the competition?
Is this a national site , or Local. If local there are several other factors that will apply.

Hi Frank
As Michael and Simon have said the SEOmoz on page tool is great for this.
In terms of getting good recommendations for how to optimise you just need to look at the 'Factor Overview' and then go through each of the factors in 'Page Analysis Detail', click 'more' and it explains what is best practice there.
I really don't think you need any other software or tools for on-page optimisation although as suggested there are some for Wordpress but unfortunately I don't know any for the two you mentioned.
If, as you say, you get grade A but you're on page 3 of the serps then your on-page seo is good but perhaps the competition is stronger off-page and that is the area that needs the attention?
How do your domain and page metrics compare to the competition? Have you tried the keyword difficulty tool which is fantastic:
Run that for your keyword and then run a full serps report to see the competition level?
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers
Trevor

I've got one site running on Joomla and the other (an ancient site) running on Interchange. Any suggestions on plugins that can help in either of those environments?
-
I just spent a few minutes testing that tool and the recommendations are basic and not very useful. I one test, a not terribly competitive keyword phrase that's ranking on page three in Google delivered an "A" rating for the page.
Thanks, but I need something more robust.

The SEO Moz tools are great. If your site is wordpress there are a number of wordpress plugins that can help.

The best tool for this, hands down, is the SEOmoz On Page Keyword Optimization Tool (if you've never used it). I'm not sure what IBP is, but this tool lets you input a keyword and the specific URL/page you're targeting for that keyword and they will give you a grade based on how well it's optimized and what you should do to improve that grade if it didn't get a good one. I use it CONSTANTLY.
Hope this helps!

RewriteRule .* - [F] And for buttons-for-website.com and semalt-semalt.com: BLOCK REFERERS RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} (semalt|buttons) [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F] or should it be: BLOCK USER AGENTS RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (semalt|buttons) [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F] Could I add (semalt|buttons|o-o-6-o-o|bestwebsitesawards|humanorightswatch) or is that too many?0 -
What are some good SERP visibility tools?
With keyword data from Google on its way out, we're losing our ability to discover what keywords a website is ranking for (you can do ranking checks, but only if you already know what keywords the site is ranking for). What are some good SERP visibility tools? (i.e. you enter the domain name, and the tool lists which keywords the site ranks for organically, etc.) I know SpyFu offers this, but they seem to be PPC focused and perhaps not very accurate. I know other companies offer it, but I'm blanking on which ones.

What is the best way to eliminate this specific image low lying content?
The site in question is www.homeanddesign.com where we are working on recovering from some big traffic loss. I finally have gotten the sites articles properly meta titled and descriptioned now I'm working on removing low lying content. The way there CMS is built, images have their own page (every one that's clickable). So this leads to a lot of thin content that I think needs to be removed from the index. Here is an example: http://www.homeanddesign.com/photodisplay.asp?id=3633 I'm considering the best way to remove it from the index but not disturb how users enjoy the site. What are my options? Here is what I'm thinking: add Disallow: /photodisplay to the robots.txt file See if there is a way to make a lightbox instead of a whole new page for images. But this still leaves me with 100s of pages with just an image on there with backlinks, etc. Add noindex tag to the photodisplay pages

Have You Ever Gotten False or Odd Notifications from Google Webmaster Tools?
I just got an email for one of my client websites from Google Webmaster Tools letting me know that the Google Bot could not access the website? The notification indicated that there may be a robots.txt issue that prevented crawling, but that they would try something to crawl it again. In this situation, we had just created a new Webmaster Tools account for the client, and there were (are) two GWT accounts now for the website, one that is incorrectly set to http://clientwebsite.com and the other that is set to www.clientwebsite.com. One of them reports zero errors, and the other reports an odd crawl error. Anyone encountered this type of thing before?

Page Rank Decline in Webmaster Tools
Hello Forum, My team and I just got through completely redoing an eCommerce website for a yoga company and I noticed that in Google Webmaster Tools our site's average daily position changed from ~25 to ~40 in the last 5-6 days (during this time period we submitted our sitemap). I exported the Webmaster Tools results and found a high number of new keywords (which weren't there pre-launch) related to yoga. However, these keywords are not related to the products we sell. Several of these keywords have positions of 240 or higher and are skewing our avg page rank. These terms include words like "cricket logo," "animal yoga," "dog pose," "cat yoga," We did move our blog into our domain name now and there are some articles related to animal poses. Any thoughts as to what may be going on? Thanks!
