Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Good Idea re the follow up post,  I did read somewhere that you shouldn't target the same keywords from two different pages,  I wonder if this is true ?   If it is then I still have the original issue of missing traffic on a good post because of the date.

Maybe I update the original and change the published date.

The topic is finance and I feel that the dates might impact.  So I either need to remove the dates or amend to keep fresh where applicable.

My Blog Entries appear in Google with a date, do those dates matter ?

Will people stay away from an older date, say 2009 ?  Is it worth removing the dates ?  Or should I update the entry and change published date ?

Barry,  thanks for your help, my link building prgramme has begun.

Its becoming obvious that I need to start getting some decent links to the site.  I have spent a fair bit of time getting the SEO to a reasonable state, but with just 4 external domains linking I'm not going to increase traffic.

The Keyword Difficulty Tool used against a search term I do well from suggests that Page Authority is responsible for traffic as my Domain Authority is low.

So getting links to pages could be more useful than links to domains.

I am only just realising that the Google Keyword Tool I use is aimed at Adwords customers and where competition is stated as low, they mean competition for adverts.

When I have a ridiculously low amount of links and  an equally low Domain Authority finding keywords is not easy.     I presume there is some correlation between the SEOMOZ Keyword Difficulty score and the amount of Adwords traffic,  but even very low Adwords Traffic Search Terms still seem to be moderately competitive.

I guess its a case of plugging away with the Keyword Difficulty tool.
