Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I would say having just looked at your site it’s an internal linking issue,  as you’ve said it looks like Google is seeing your latest post at the more important page.

There are a couple of option I can think off which shouldn’t be to difficult to implement (I’m assuming your using Word Press).

1: create a manual menu and add the links to the tags page you want to rank and try adding that menu to the side bar, this should be relatively simple to setup.

2: (this is my preferred option but it’s a little harder to setup) turn the tag pages your using into actual pages and use a little bit of script to pull through the relevant posts you’ve done, you can then include those pages in your navigation or again in the side bar, this (if done correctly) would mean your loss the “tag” from the URL and because it is then included into the navigation or side bar would be given more weight in Google.

The other thing I would do I link to the URL itself either in each post, something like “see more article about XXX here” at the end of the post or find a nice natural way to link to it in the article itself, I personally don’t really like tag clouds or tagging on post as it can be seen as being a little spammy as you end up with a group of links with target keywords listed at the bottom of each post.

Let me know if how you get on or if you need any more advice.

Hi,

this sounds like quite a nice problem to have to be honest but there are two ways I'd address this.

1: make sure you post is linking through to the page you want to rank that way when google crawl your site they should start to see lots of good content pointing to that page your trying to rank first and give it more weighting, you might also want to look at your site structure to see if you can improve which pages google is seeing as important that way as well.

2: a win is a win why not look at how you are moving users from your post to your "money making" pages, this is a good practice any way as once you've sorted you site structure you'll hopefully start to pick up some nice long tail keywords from your posts.

Thanks

ok, so I'm going to break this down for you

1: yes you can use multiple keyword in titles etc but you'll get better results if you create more targeted pages on your site, what I'd do is create a group of articles talking about (for example) Dell servers make them useful to your users and link them together the way your users (and google) should find lots of useful targeted content that naturally has your keywords in and if you link to this articles fro your home page they should start to rank quite well, it would also be worth finding some guest blogging opportunities to link to these articles as well as that should help boost your ranking.

2: loading speed is pretty important but managing flat html pages can be a pain why not look at using a cms like WordPress to do this, its really flexible and can be modified to look how ever you like.

3: NO stop it, don't think of your content in that don't try to cram keywords into it that is very old school and won't help you with SEEPs instead spend a bit of time write a useful article about a topic, enfant write a bunch of them, you'll naturally be putting keywords in to the articles that way and you'll probably pick up so pretty good long tail keywords at the same time.

feel free to contact me if you want more help or advice

Cheers

From you look of your link profiles, there’s is stronger, it seems to point that they have better internal linking to the page they are ranking and over all higher quality links to the site which is why they have higher MozTrust and MozRank.

That said if your ranking 10th there is probably more of an on-page issue happening here than an off page one, if you want send me a PM with more details and I’ll see if I can give you any pointers.

Thanks
