Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Why?

Hey gents & ladies,

Give your top 3 of websites that in your eyes are optimized in a good way? Tell me why you think the website is that good and notice the keywords.

Great info! Does one link from a trustworthy website pass the trust or is the place of the link crucial?

Hey there,

I need to improve the  Domain trust of my website. I've seen the blogitems of Rand but I still have questions. If I want to increase the Domain Trust..I "simpely" have to get links from websites with a high Domain Trust.  This will eventually  improve my Domain trust. But what are the effects if I do this by reciprocal linking. Does this eliminates the trust that comes from the other website.

I checked a few sites myself and see your point. Good argument, Ryan! This is something  I can improve.

Thanks 4 the helpfull answer!

I checked the website in google translation and everything was translated. I don't see any problems in the cufon font.

What page of the competitor are you talking about in point 3? And what kind of anchor text would you suggest?

We have a triple listing for the keyword vca cursus (Dutch keyword). But the page we optimized for that keyword ranks lower than our vca examen page. First we had the number one spot but now we rank 2 to 5. In opensite explorer i compared the competiton and we scored on almost all factors better.

Do you know the causes why the vca examen page ranks higher then the vca cursus  page. Is it possible to change that or reverse the triple listing somehow. And why does our competitor ranks higher?

So if  u put your text in a div this has no effects for SEO?

When you use text in a div like this: 

<div id="container">
	<h1 id="doc-header">Your Business in your Location - Your Services</h1>
        <p>Top industries are getting hit.p>	 <div id="branding">
		<a href="#">
			<img id="logo" src="images/logo.png" alt="Your Site" />
		</a>
	</div>
 Are there SEO consequences when you put text in divs?

I am writing a document with a big enumeration (100 subjects) and in that enumeration a keyword will be shown also 100 times.  e.g.:

1. little car

2. little shoe

and so on... I will use the unordered list html code. The document isn't  4 SEO purposes such as high ranking. I 'm afraid that because the keyword is repeated that often this could  reflect the website.

What are your thoughts about this?

I've read some information about the extension of an url. But i couldn't find a clear answer.

What is better for SEO, an extension with html or without?

Is there a difference between a normal website or a blog?

Today I noticed a big change in the PR of our websites and our competitors. We have gained a lot of PageRank. This changes took place in the Netherlands. Did you guys noticed any fluctuations in PR?

We want to rank higher on the keyword VCA. Our direct competitor VCAnederland ranks one place higher and we want that place. If we look at some statics from the Open site explorer, we score better.

PA: VCAdirect = 53 VS competitor = 46

DA: VCAdirect = 43 VS competitor = 39

Total links = VCAdirect = 8415 VS competitor = 3051

External followed links = VCAdirect = 8178 VS competitor = 1059

Linking root domains = VCAdirect = 146 VS competitor = 105

SEOmoz competitive Domain Analysis (gives other numbers)

DA: VCAdirect = 44 VS competitor = 40

DMozrank: VCAdirect = 4.30  VS competitor = 4.50

DMozTrust: VCAdirect = 4.00 VS competitor = 4.18

when I analyze the site with the SEOmoz tool.

We see  this figures:

VCAdirect:

PA: 53 / MozR: 5.89 / MozT: 5.89 / Tot links 8415

VCAnederland:

PA: 46 / MozR: 6.95 / MozT: 6.16 / Tot links 3051

On the on page Report card we score both an A.

Where should we focus on to win the position?

We want to change our cms from typo3  to CMS made Simple. We have done this already for another site and it effected the rankings. Have you got experience with this? What factors are important for SEO to consider? Is it normal when you change from cms the rankings will drop?

I'm tracking keywords. In the past past i used Rank checker. I have compared Rank checker and Rank tracker of SEOmoz and they give different results. Which one is more accurate?
