Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Got mine - thanks a lot Martijn!

Hey thanks Dan!

That's good advice about the keyword research. We did that and every page of the site is optimized for one or two strong keyword phrases - we chose both high KEI phrases from Wordtracker, and high volume Google search phrases.

We have H tags and image tags on every page as well, and have kept the content at at least 500 words of quality original content on every page we can.

I haven't tested the on page optimization tool at SEO Moz, but will check it out.

I think we employed most best practices for our on page SEO. Our linking is just getting off the ground, though.

Hello wise ones,

We have been working with the charity Volunteers of America to create a new site for their car donation program at carshelpingpeople.org

They are a national charity with extensive local programs run by regional affiliates, so the site is divided into a small national section linked to Regional Affiliate sections. You get to the regional sections either by entering your zip code or clicking on your state in the bottom nav of the national pages. Right now we have developed regional sections for Michigan, Nevada, Maryland, Washington D.C., New Jersey, Delaware and the Philadelphia area.

The site is about 2 1/2 months old, and while our conversion rate is pretty good (7%) our organic search ranking isn't improving as quickly as we'd like to see. Car donation is a very competitive space, and we would appreciate any advice on how to improve the SEO of the site.

Thanks so much.

Thanks, I'd appreciate a copy if anyone has one: [email removed - please use PM if needed]
