Hello Folks, I'm curious why my landing page is ranking at #1 on www.google.com.br ( brazil ). keyword: build wizard diablo 3. My lp is above well know domain names such as: wikia.com , blizzard.com , and also above a keyworded domain name: www.wizardbuilds.com/ Is just because my website is focus in brazilian google( .com.br ) or is because my landing page are better than the others( i don't think so)? Thanks.

I understand your approach, but would advise you to consider alternative methods. It provides you no benefit to rank #1 for a term unless people type that term into the search engine. According to Google that term has no traffic at all.
If you rank #10 for a term which has 1000 monthly searches, as a result you may receive ?2% of those 1000 visitors so 20 visitors a month.
Google Analytics allows you to see how much traffic you receive and the exact source of that traffic. Your report for this particular term will be skewed because of this Q&A thread. Try a similar but different phrase. If you earn #1 ranking but after 30 days see zero traffic, your article has absolutely no value despite it's #1 ranking.

Yes, thanks for the comments,
for a entry-level in the SEO community as me, the only way to rank well is starting by long tail.

I'd agree that this phrase is long-tail enough to rank without difficulty. His title tag for example is the best match from all other results I can see - that would be a significant factor.
-
There are a couple factors which stand out:
-
your site is a .br ccTLD. A .com can do just as well if it targets brazil but most .com domains are targeting other countries. Your site would receive a significant boost in .br searches.
-
you are searching a very long tail keyword phrase. There are 4 words. Your page title and URL both contain all four words. A check of AdWords shows no search data at all for this phrase.
It is very easy to rank #1 for a search term with no competition. Just create a web page, optimize for a longtail phrase and you will likely be in the #1 spot for the phrase.

Thanks, Yes, that's mine.

I am seeing this page as #1: www.rpgdicas.com.br/builds/diablo-3/wizard.html

SEO Ultimate’s and Yoast together
We are using SEO Ultimate’s and Yoast together on a Wordpress website, does anyone have negative experience by using this to plugins together? The main result to use this, is because we could remove the /product/ from the slug. We want clean URL’s and not URL’s that have: website.com/product/PRO1 or website.com/product-catagory/CAT2 (standard Wordpress) But we want: website.com/PRO1 or website.com/CAT2 In Yoast is possible to remove the URL /category/, but not the /product/. With SEO Ultimate’s it is possible. So we use them both. SEO Ultimate’s for the removal of the URL, and Yoast for it’s great functions: Sitemap, no index /page2/, no index media etc. etc. But Yoast gives the following note: ‘’WordPress SEO (Yoast) is known to cause conflicts with SEO Ultimate. Please deactivate WordPress SEO if you wish to continue using SEO Ultimate.’’ I was wondering what this could mean for overal SEO performance. And maybe there is a way to remove the URL’s by using other methods > and remove the SEO Ultimate’s plugin.

Should we remove category paths for better SEO?
We're looking to build some serious content and capitalise on long-tail keyword traffic for our sub-category pages, example for targeted keyword "designer dining tables". Example of current link: www.website.com/designer-furniture/designer-dining-tables.html Would removing the category paths help? Example result - www.website.com/designer-dining-tables More user friendly URLs and better for SEO would you suggest? The only problem is, if we removed the paths would this have a hit on our traffic? Any advice would be much appreciated. We are using Magento platform.

Is Schema markup important for SEO?
I have recently come across the Schema markup and have researched what it's all about. Basically in short it helps search engines identify all the elements of the page. Our competitors have this implementated, so is this important for SEO? We have an e commerce store.

SEO impact classifieds website
Hi, I'm part of an organization running a classifieds platform in Spain. (Mercadonline.es) We are hit by Google penalties since a few weeks, possibly caused by numerous errors we are experiencing. Most frequent errors are 404's and duplicate content (titles tags etc) since the nature of our website is dynamic. Many ads change daily, are added or removed, causing Googlebots (and others) to flag us and not being able to see our more unique content. Until what part of our platform should we be indexed? Since we have +34,000 pages indexed (mostly due to internal filter pages) I would need a systematic solution for us to display relevant and unique content, with enough usage of keywords that can bring us back up - we are actually ranked <50 on google for most of our main keywords. It is costing us precious time and money since we can only aquire our visitors (adwords etc) and not being to attract any organically. I can go in more detail with someone who can give me a bit more direction. Your answer is much appreciated! Ivor
