Can anyone tell me where my site can be improved
-
My website is www.theradiatorgallery.com
I have been trying to get on 1st page for designer radiators. I am currently ranked 21st just dropped to the 3rd page within the past hour, i was 20th before this. There are some sites that i would think i would rank better than due do i have better on page optimization, higher PA, DA and PR based on seo moz reports. Is there something wrong with my site that i am missing?
the sites i feel i should rank better than are; radsnrails.co.uk, warmrooms.co.uk and a couple others
Any help would be great!
Thanks Guys

Ryan Kent has a much better answer than I regarding keyword cannibalization on this Q&A thread http://www.seomoz.org/q/dilution-of-link-juice. You might read that and see if that helps explain things a bit more for you.

thanks for the advice, I'm trying to work out how i can change this all my external links point to the homepage with the anchor text designer radiators but all my internal point to the category page "designer radiators". I have a link from the designer radiators cat pointing to the homepage. Would i be better off pointing the links to the homepage or cat and if i were to point the links to the homepage would it matter that i have a link in my menu bar with the anchor text designer radiators?
thanks again

Your home page links to http://www.theradiatorgallery.com/designer-radiators.html with the anchor text designer radiators, and that page links to the home page with the anchor text designer radiators. Others can give more information, but I think you need to pick one page that you want to be the focus for designer radiators and focus on that, and not send conflicting signals to the search engines with this type of circular linking.

I see you as Number One out here in Australia.
-
yeah he's definitely on the right site, that is really strange that it shows as result number 2. Fingers crossed he's got the latest rankings and all the other data centers will soon follow
-
thank you very much for your time and advice.
-
Strange...I see the site at #21. Are you sure you were looking at www.theradiatorgallery.com?
-
I would advise you to remove all no follow tags unless the links are for paid for.
Some ideas on links to remove: In the drop down for designer radiators - product manufacturer does not need to expand into many more links - cascading drop downs are generally frowned on anyways. The links in the footer are duplicate to the header - consider condensing the footer links.
-
thanks for the advice Dan, i'm going to take a look at the keyword difficulty tool now
-
wow number 2, i wish! you think i should remove all no follows even on the faq pages etc? How can i reduce the number of links on the homepage, i don't feel i have any that couldn't be there. I am going to change the H1 tag straight away.
Thanks for the advice

I see your site as number two in the Google rankings for designer radiators, so not sure why you're seeing it in number 21. Try logging in as a different user.
Some suggestions: Get rid of all your nofollow tags on all the links - page sculpting does not work in that fashion anymore. Also, you maybe overlinking on the home page, thereby greatly reducing the page juice of the home page - the nofollow tags do not stop your page juice from being diluted.
Only Desiger Radiators should be in the H1 tag. I would not put the following in a H1 tag.
<h1>Welcome to the Radiator Gallery...h1>

Hi
It appears as if many of the links in your menu are nofollowed at the anchor tag level. That was the first thing I noticed after looking real quick. I don't know that this would have to do with your question, but since its quite important I thought I'd point it out!
To really dig in, I would suggest running a full report with the keyword difficulty tool and have a look at all the metrics. (You can add your URL if not showing in the top 10) That would be a good place to start!

thank you for taking some time to have a quick look for me, would you suggest to start linking for other terms that would bring in sales such as "vertical radiators" or start linking for phrases including designer radiators. I'm trying to get as high for designer radiators as possible as quickly as possible.
To make easier for anyone else to input there opinion i have 82 followed links with the anchor text designer radiators and 2 or less links for any other search term. -
This is just a guess, but I'm wondering if you've overdone it a bit on the anchor text for your link building? At a quick glance, the vast majority of your links are linked with the anchor text "designer radiators". It doesn't look natural.
I'm interested in seeing what others say though.

On-site adjustment opinions
Hi folks, I've got a fairly interesting scenario. I'm trying to rank this page (http://www.staysa.co.za/sa/1-2-0-0-1/East-London/accommodation) better for the term, "accommodation east london". The client isn't keen on making many changes and it was built horribly with ASP, half CMS, half not. I have made the following changes today: I introduced two paragraphs of text below the H1 tag. I changed "East London Bed and Breakfast", "East London Conference Venues", "East London Cottage / Chalet" to just "Bed and Breakfast", "Conference Venues", "Cottage / Chalet" as the continual key phrase duplication in my experience is a bad move. I've made a change to the title tag (this is a huge mission as it's not CMS controlled, so I had to teach myself some basic ASP to do so). Meta data.. nightmare to change unfortunately, at least not without rewriting part of the CMS. I'm wondering, are there any other on-site factors that I'm missing? I'm not a fan of site-wide links, so I don't want to put an exact match anchor text link from the sidebar/footer to the page, not unless someone can motivate why I should. Keen to hear everyone's opinions 🙂

Google is keeping very old title tags in the SERPs for my site. How can I fix this?
Hi Around 6 months ago a site I work with changed its brand. One company became two. Despite changing the title when a new site went live around 6 months ago Google still picks up the old title for certain search results relevant to the old title. When a search result is relevant to the new title it shows that. It's very frustrating as we are trying to re-brand and do not want the old brand name showing for some very important search results. Thanks in advance for your help Paul

Duplicate Content on Multinational Sites?
Hi SEOmozers Tried finding a solution to this all morning but can't, so just going to spell it out and hope someone can help me! Pretty simple, my client has one site www.domain.com. UK-hosted and targeting the UK market. They want to launch www.domain.us, US-hosted and targeting the US market. They don't want to set up a simple redirect because a) the .com is UK-hosted b) there's a number of regional spelling changes that need to be made However, most of the content on domain.com applies to the US market and they want to copy it onto the new website. Are there ways to get around any duplicate content issues that will arise here? Or is the only answer to simply create completely unique content for the new site? Any help much appreciated! Thanks

Used SEOMOZ top 100 Directories, my site ranking lowered, what can we do to fix this?
We have made a big mistake.... So what can we do to fix this? A trainee member of staff has used the seomoz 100 top directories and added to sites from PR10 to PR6 approx about 25 sites, using keywords were possible instead of using the website URL "which i now was stupid!. Our website ranking have been lowered big time for all keywords used!, eg from 1st to 10th and even disappeared from the top 100 We are contacting all directories asking for the Title link to be changed to the URL instead of a keyword.. Will this help? I understand that Google give sites a penalty for this!!, but what can i do to put this right and how long would this penalty last for? Any advice would be highly appreciated... Thanks Dean

Are lots of links from an external site to non-existant pages on my site harmful?
Google Webmaster Tools is reporting a heck of a lot of 404s which are due to an external site linking incorrectly to my site. The site itself has scraped content from elsewhere and has created 100's of malformed URLs. Since it unlikely I will have any joy having these linked removed by the creator of the site, I'd like to know how much damage this could be doing, and if so, is there is anything I can do to minimise the impact? Thanks!
