Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Massive site with great authority. largest company within its field. currently get 120-150,000 hits a day.

Not dramatically, before hand they was not keyword driven enough.

i have just added the targeted keywords into the page titles as thought would boost my rankings.

How long is a good time period to judge if its working or not then?

Hi i changed my page titles for a competitive keyword last week and noticed it has dropped 9 search engine ranking positions. Was ranking 37 and now it 46.

Would you guys leave it and see if it starts creeping back up or change again?

the page title i used was across my pages for example was Primary keyword | secondary keyword | Heading on page

thanks for you help

Thanks Lewis,

Any idea when this change is going to be made to the algorithm?

Also, does this mean when the change is made there will be a big reshuffle of websites ranking positions?

Hi All,

Question: How important are domain names when trying to rank for a competitive keyword?

Thanks

Thanks Lewis,

Hurts a bit as it is for alot of my targeted keywords.

Is there anything i can do to get the rising again? I need to sort out 301 redirects on my duplicate index pages which i think will help.

Any other suggestions and quick fixes??

Cheers

Hi Guys,

Hope your all well and business is good.

I have been going through and changing page titles for my site which is currently huge attracting massive amounts of traffic. However from my pro membership i have notice a lot of the rankings in Google search engine has decreased.

I have been using a strategy that i read on SEOMoz which is;

example

Keyword | Page heading | company name

Is this why? if so what is the best method? I have changed nothing else so far.

Does it matter if you use the same H1 tag on various pages in the same site? or will this become duplicated and penalised by the search engines?

Quick and easy  most likely -

Just need to clear a few point. I understand each page within the site should only have one H1 tag which should be the most important one. I also believe these only effect google ranking very slightly? right?

Currently my CMS is system is pulling the H1 tag in from the page and automatically using the page heading that is on the page IE) the heading used for the content.

Should this be a keyword /  key phrase instead? and will it be duplicate if i used the same one on various pages in my site?

Cheers guys look forward to hearing your feedback

Thanks!!

It may also be an idea to have a List for UK results separate to the US one?

Hi,

Quick question;

I have set up a micro site in which i was going to take some of the content from my reviews and recipes my customers have posted and have them placed on my other site.

The site i currently have is a large site receiving over 200,00 visitors every day.

Will this be affected as duplicate content if i was to do this as i do not want to affect my rankings. Any suggestions what i can do to get round this?

Cheers
