Whats next after I rank for many keywords?
-
I have a client who came to me wanting to know what's next for her as she already ranks in the top 5 for hundreds of keywords. She is right, her rankings for her niche are excellent and there are no relevant keywords for her to try and go after. What would be next to generate traffic?
p.s She also has links from just about everyone in the industry that's relevant
There has to be more "tricks" to seo besides keywords and link building

got it, thanks for your feedback
-
It was very serious rather than sarcastic. If you used some of the typical SEO tricks the damage done to your site could really cut your business and result in you laying off employees.
We have no idea of your level of knowledge. So it is better to warn you about tricks than to see you return here crying - even if you don't like it.
-
thanks, I understand the other ways to build traffic, looking for more SEO strategies here .

I don't think his comment is well said at all, I think it is sarastic. As I said in my question, I am looking for more of a solution than keywords and linking, I am not looking for black hat "tricks" just other strategies. He took a word in my question and spun it in a negative fashion

Does traffic make your client money, or do conversions make your client money? Are the people doing what you want them to once they get on the site? Optimizing for conversions may be the next thing to focus on -- make use of that traffic you're already getting.

I would try to rank next in top 3 for those hundred of keywords by deploying some fine tuning.
Next I would go for long tail on a very wide range especially if it's related to shoes.
My 2 cents.
-
well same here i agree with EGOL and will not try any "tricks" this days.
if she already have links from all relevant sites go to the next step and get her more customers by starting social media marketing.
you can also just to feel that you are doing the job for her and it will also help get a press out there and talk about the new models she have.
hope that help

Sponsor local races
- Marathons
- half marathons
- 10k's
- 5k's
- Tie these all to charities
- Again Press releases online but sent to local papers.
This will get you more Branding Benefits and closer to the Top Spot.
-
Well said, from what I've gathered here, tricks get you into long term trouble. It has to be about the long term versus the right now.
-
If your client is already ranking extremely well for that many keywords I'm sure she is already incorporating these tactics which are basic.
- social media: Especially Google+
- Offline tactics with online Press Releases directed to local media for positive exposure on and off line. Which will also help for greater rankings to get towards the #1 spot.
- How are they ranking on the other search engines?
- Info-graphics specific to their industry to be directed to all local bloggers and site owners.
- Brand Building:
- PPC Campaign: It is beneficial to be both in the paid and non paid positions since most people naturally want to click on the non-paid link. This gives you more impressions.
These tactics directly and indirectly add to SEO.
Hope this helps. Goof luck

I wouldn't be looking for "tricks" these days.

The difference between "top 5" and "top 3" for hundreds of keywords will probably be hundreds to thousands of visitors per DAY (depending upon the keywords)
-
thanks, good thoughts, but would love more. The industry is shoes BTW
-
#1 for everything is always a start.
Increasing long tail traffic is always an option (assuming you don't already have plenty of longtail traffic).
Depending on the industry it might be an option to increase traffic from referring sites or social media not to mention affiliate marketing.

Ranking drop after sub domain to sub directory migration. Usual?
Hi all, We had our help articles on sub-domain help.website.com. Then we moved it to sub directory website.com/help/. We expected ranking improvement of website.com as there is a wide saying of benefiting from sub domain to sub directory migration. We have noticed that ranking improvement of new sub directory pages (website.com/help/) but not for any main website pages (website.com). I presume that link juice from main website has benefited new sub directory pages but main website lost ranking due to the page rank dilution. Do you agree? Any ideas? Thanks

Keyword stuffing in
Having a discussion with my boss over whether the following page is over-saturated (stuffed) with keywords in the element: http://www.godreamvacations.com/BarceloHotels -- We implemented the description and keyword tag text back in 2010 when the boss gave me the text. Anyone have any good responses to the bosses' response (below)? "These are the ones (pages) that are actually working wonderfully well on Bing. At the time, I researched the optimal number of characters and tried to really follow all that was suggested by SEO experts. As far as the keywords, I would say you could remove the ones without the “s”, for example, take out “Barcelo Hotel” and leave “Barcelo Hotels” I think this is all relevant to what is found on the page. I don’t know what they would expect us to do differently than this. Do you? What is your MOZ currently saying is the optimal number of characters for a Title?" Any responses would be appreciated. Am I wrong in saying it's "stuffed" and looks spammy? What would you tell your boss?

Whats the best method to tackle website traffic drop?
ON 14th November following a DNS error (which seems to have been a google error as local servers were not effected and it happened to many people everywhere) my traffic started dropping. Within 5 days it was down 50%. In a panic to resolve the situation I thought it was because i was on a shared host and moved to VPS which was a disaster. Ive had server errors since. After desperately looking everywhere for news on the DNS error and whether there as algorithm change etc I decided i should have a look at my site @ www.mutantspace.com and see if there were any internal issues. In Google Webmaster forum a helpful moderator suggested that I do 2 things: 1. Deal with the fact that I had keyword stuffed my <alt tags="">. Basically i run an arts blog so have 8 - 10 images per post and was putting the same text in each one i.e [artists name][artform][name of artwork]. I stupidly didnt realise what i had been doing and have since been deleting my alt tags for every image except one per post. However i have 17,000 images so its going to take a while. </alt> 2. She also linked me to https://ahrefs.com/site-explorer/overview/subdomains/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.mutantspace.com%252F and wondered why i had such volatile inbound links. I dont know why. And cant figure it out As far as everything else goes I dont know what I could be doing wrong to deserve penalty - if it is a penalty. I dont back link so all my links are natural (from artists, galleries, art blogs, tumblrs, etc) I dont sell advertising (yet anyway) Having said that ive been told i have too many links on each page (i run a wordpress site and so have categories, etc) so im wondering if i should nofollow my categories? In short im wondering what advice anyone has on doing a systematic shake up of my site. Im currently doing the following: 1. deleting most of the <alt tags="">on my posts. Ive got back as far as 2012 and will keep going til theyre all done.</alt> 2. Redirecting all crawl errors 3. No Following more outbound links and links to social networks 4. Checking all inbound links to see if there is an suspicious domains 5. Sorting out the fact that ive had numerous server errors for the last 2 weeks (would that affect SERPS?) Is there anything else i can do? Should do? much appreciated

Low Domain Authority - Rank Well For Competitive Keywords
I have been following a competitor's link profile on OSE for over 8 months. Their linkbacks have remained the same (3 follow, 9 nofollow links), all from low-quality directory sites. However, my competitor continues to improve in rankings and is now #1 for competitive keyword searches. How is this possible? Is there a way to hide your link profile or links from OSE? Any tips are appreciated - Thanks!

Why does my Rank Checker result differ to SERPs
Hello SEOmoz members I've got yet another naive question for you. RankChecker is telling me that my client has risen to pg 1 position 7. Whilst SERPs is telling me they are still on position 14. I know that SERPs is variable depending on many factors, but this holds true for separate searches on other computers in various far flung locations. Please give me some insight into what is happening. I'm waiting to open the bubbly! Thanks

Is there a way to know what rank my site is listed on google ?
My current client web page was listed at the 4th page 1 month ago. Im trying real hard to make him understand that the traffic from beiing on the first page is important and that he need to give me additionnal ressource to make it happen ( i don't prog at all). So i had the idea of checking every page to see whats is current rank. but instead of looking from page 1 to page X, i was wondering if there was something somewhere that could give me my rank right away. It woud help saving time. Thx.
