Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Kevin! I was unaware of that email so I'll use that going forward.

Thanks,

Hello,

I have a campaign for "Teasdale Fenton" that we started back in May, 2015 (5 months ago) and Insider Pages, Citysearch, and Bing have been sitting as "Pending" with no estimated update date I believe since we launched the campaign.  Can you guys look into it and let me know if I did anything wrong or if there is something holding it back from updating?

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks Jordan! Appreciate it!

Hello,

I updated our company phone number about 2 months ago and every aggregator updated except Insider Pages and City Search.  They both have empty circles and are showing as Inconsistent when opening up the campaign because they have the old phone number.  I thought for awhile it would just take some time, but it doesn't seem to be updating at all.  Is it possible that it's stuck? A lot of the others changed to half circles, then full.  But this one is just sitting as an empty circle.

Thanks,

Chris

Hey guys,

Long time follower of the Q&A forum, but don't post too often.  I'm having an issue I never came across.  We changed a domain from mpbuilderscincy.com to mpcincinnati.com.  We did the 301 redirect and all the SEO flowed through pretty well.  Most pages didn't even change in file structure so we didn't need to do page redirects for the most part.  Anyway, long story short, we are seeing the same rankings as we had before now (it's been about 2 months) except for 1 and only 1 keyword.  It's "Home Remodeling Cincinnati".  We dropped from page 2, to page 11 on Google and it won't budge.  Now on Yahoo and Bing, we are right back where we were before already with that keyword.  But Google just refuses to bump us back to where we were before the change.  The Home Remodeling page: http://www.mpcincinnati.com/Residential-Services/Home-Remodeling.aspx has an on page grade of A for that keyword and we have it as one of our main keywords on the home page of the site (title, h1, alt tags, etc).  No errors on the page.  I mean it looks pretty clean for this page as far as SEO except for 1 notice that mentions the 301 canonical redirect. We uploaded the new sitemap right away.  I just can't put a thumb on it and wondering if you guys had any tips.

Thanks,

Chris

Very good info, thank you! So basically I imagine the more content we write the more pages will be indexed and the better ranking we will get on our keywords right? Does it matter whether this content is in the form of a blog? Or should we just create new pages for this? I will definitely look into the business directory's. Thanks again, Chris

Hey everyone,

I am a web programmer and have been fooling around with SEO for about a year now and just started to get pretty serious about it so I signed up for SEOmoz.  We just launched our new site about 4 months ago (http://www.cincinnatiwebtec.com) and Google just started ranking us about a month ago.  I believe we have done everything right with H1 tags, H2 tags, Title tags, alt tags, inbound links, url structure, etc. but yet we still can't even seem to get to the 1st or 2nd page of Google for "Cincinnati Web Design".  I know it's going to be a competitive keyword because the people fighting for it are the SEO experts, but if you were to compare a person on page 2 or 3 to us, some of them have nothing to do with Cincinnati web design and I highly doubt they even bother with SEO, but yet they are ranked higher than us. i.e. http://www.hollandadvertising.com/ - the only place I see Cincinnati is the address at the bottom and they have only 30 inbound links according to yahoo.  On top of that, they are an advertising firm, not a web design firm!

I was wondering if you guys would take a look at our site above and offer some suggestions.  Do you think we are spreading the keywords too thin? I mean I just can't think of why a company like the Holland Advertising example above would rank higher than us.  We clearly have a more SEO optimized site, more inbound links, more quality links, 0 errors, 0 warnings, etc.  I am just at a loss.  Hope you guys can help.

Thanks guys,

Chris
