My Blog Post Not Appearing In Top - Covered every aspect of the topic
-
Hello Moz Team, hope everyone is doing well,
I have question regarding mine blog post recently that I published:
https://mobilemall.pk/blog/definition-of-cuboid-surface-area-volume-basic-properties/
My target keywords in this post are Cuboid Definition, Cuboid Surface Area, Cuboid Volume.
I have considered and applied every good SEO practice, like H Tags, gave links to authority sites, featured image, other images, etc
but my post is still not appearing in top 3, 5 or even 10
I have covered each and every aspect of the topic,
Can anyone let me know what's the reason and any suggestion for me.
Thanks!

The main reason is the competitiveness of the keywords you are optimizing your post for. This words seem to be competitive and you have powerful competitors and a rather new website can't compete with strong websites that are running and optimizing their content for some special keywords and have thousands of backlinks. You should consider that on-page SEO is only a part ( in some cases if you opt for high competitive keywords, a very small part) of SEO and another factor for search engines to rank is off-page SEO and it depends on the number and quality of your backlinks, your domain age, domain authority and etc.

Hey @joeysolicitor!
Thanks for reaching out, I'm sure others may have additional ideas and thoughts, but here are some of my ideas.
-
I would consider the keywords you are targeting. It's possible that these keywords are of higher difficulty because of larger mathematical players like Wolfram, Math,net, Wikipedia and others. You may want to consider identifying some less difficult, high volume keywords to go after to increase site visibility.

I'm also seeing a number of interesting SERP features in your keyword searches, it might be worth investigating how you could optimize the images in your post, or add a video to diversify your ranking potential!
Let me know if you try any of these ideas!

Best practices for retiring 100s of blog posts?
Hi. I wanted to get best practices for retiring an enterprise blog with hundreds of old posts with subject matter that won't be repurposed. What would be the best course of action to retire and maintain the value of any SEO authority from those old blog pages? Is it enough to move those old posts into an archive subdirectory and Google would deprioritize those posts over time? Or would a mass redirect of old blog posts to the new blog's home page be allowed (even though the old blog post content isn't being specifically replaced)? Or would Google basically say that if there aren't 1:1 replacement URLs, that would be seen as soft-404s and treated like a 404?

Building an Industry Resource List w Links to Competitors
Hi folks. I'm working on a B2B e-commerce site in a very commoditized space. It's very technical and longtail-- several thousand product pages and of those, over 1,000 landing pages per month, when visitors find products. Most items we sell are only bought once or twice per year. Many won't even be bought in a given year. So it's tough to invest a lot on a given page, but we chip away at it. We don't have many non-product pages. To date, we've grown with solid on-page SEO for products and good customer service. I'm adding a resource section to include helpful articles and definitions of technical terms. Also, since good sources of products can be so hard to find (we literally have customers like NASA googling for parts), I would like to build an industry guide of sorts. It would include manufacturers, master distributors, distributors and resellers (like our site). To be a good list, it only makes sense to include my competitors. It's likely very few people will actually ever see this page, but I figure more deep content with lots of highly relevant links is good for raising DA, especially because it could become a page others want to link to. I haven't found a comparable resource in the 4 years I've been working on this project. Any reason I should not do this? Any pitfalls I should be aware of? Thank you!

Company blog relaunch. Best practices with Google Algorithm updates in mind?
We have a company blog living on our corporate domain. The blog contained many posts with keywords and we believe google is penalizing us for over optimization as we use to be ranked in the top 5 for our main keyword now we're on page 8. Keeping this in mind, we are planning to relaunch the blog and we wanted to get some tips on best practices that addressing the following questions. Should we archive _all _of our previously published content and start fresh with this relaunch? Should we keep 50 or so published blogs visible? Where should this blog live (on our domain or a wholly separate domain)? We'd love to get thoughts and opinions, and any insight about best practices for a blog relaunch.

Evergreen content: Dedicated section or blog posts?
As part of our content strategy we are creating an ongoing series of articles to help both our potential buyers and our users learn about our product and improve their knowledge of industry best practices in general. Internally, we've had some debate as to where we should host this content within our site. We've identified two approaches: Series of blog posts Dedicated knowledge section of the website If we go with the first approach, we would created a dedicated section that indexed all the blog posts. If we went with the second, we'd create blog posts for each of the articles announcing their addition. Is there any difference, SEO wise with the two approaches? What would you recommend? Thanks, Darren.

Guest Blogging Question!
Hi, The anchor text link connected with an article used for guest blogging, say the anchor text has 3 words and the link is in the byline, do these 3 words need to be used within the article content? For example if the article is 500 words long and the anchor text from the link is not used at all in the article content will this have a massive negative effect against using the anchor text in the article a few times? Cheers

Is it worth to change a blog from a subdomain to subfolder?
We have a blog in a subdomain since some years and we are thinking about moving it to a subfolder, to see if we can boost the main domain (incoming links + fresh content). Could be worth it?
