How long does google take to pick up your new page headings and on page optimisation and when will results show fpr keywords due to this
-
can someone help thanks x
-
Yeah, agreed - it can really vary, and it depends on how often Google re-crawls your site, how deep the page is, etc. Keep in mind that "web design" keywords are very competitive generally, so just adding them to new pages isn't going to automatically get you ranking.

For my websites ranking on pages 1-3 of Google, I usually see changes in 2-3 days. However, the actual rank often jumps around a bit.

Matthew's correct, it may or may not help you in G ranking and it seems like if you do major changes like sitewide for instance you may even get a kick down for sometime until G knows you are finished making the changes.
Usually changes can be seen in Serp within a week for most sites, but it can be longer for some.
We've also found that if you rank well on yahoo for some reason it's not the same on G, and vice versa. Could just be us, but it makes sense that S.E's wouldn't want to show the same results as each other.
All the best!

Hello Laura,
Page headings and onpage optimization isn't going to be the key on specifically ranking up keywords. Your keywords may not move at all due to this.
I highly suggest you read many more threads here on some tactics on how to rank up keywords. There are many different ways to rank keywords, and many theories on how to rank them. I highly suggest that you read Rands posts and I personally like this thread here http://www.seomoz.org/blog/top-1-seo-tips-for-2013 by Dr. Pete. He's also very smart and knows what hes talking about.
As for the time it takes for Google to analyze your site is not known really. It can be right away, or it can be in two weeks. It all depends on how popular your website is and what reason Google has to keep going to your website. Is your website new? Is it already indexed by Google? If not you could submit your site to search engines, or ping it using a ping services. It's also a good idea to submit your site to social sites so it gets indexed quicker.
Have a great night and a happy holidays.

Solved How to solve orphan pages on a job board
Working on a website that has a job board, and over 4000 active job ads. All of these ads are listed on a single "job board" page, and don’t obviously all load at the same time. They are not linked to from anywhere else, so all tools are listing all of these job ad pages as orphans. How much of a red flag are these orphan pages? Do sites like Indeed have this same issue? Their job ads are completely dynamic, how are these pages then indexed? We use Google’s Search API to handle any expired jobs, so they are not the issue. It’s the active, but orphaned pages we are looking to solve. The site is hosted on WordPress. What is the best way to solve this issue? Just create a job category page and link to each individual job ad from there? Any simpler and perhaps more obvious solutions? What does the website structure need to be like for the problem to be solved? Would appreciate any advice you can share!

Google traffic plummeted on Sunday - what can I do?
On Sunday, my google traffic plummeted. I was getting 320 hits a day from Google on my best days - my site is just about to turn 3 months old so I was thrilled with that. On Sunday it was 110 and I think it is getting worse. Edit: Yep, yesterday was 65. Google Webmasters shows the drop today. One day, my impressions were 5,500 and the next just 1,000. Yikes. My traffic is so depressing now after so much hard work. Is this Google Panda? What can I do? I have no idea why this happened. I am getting several quality backlinks a week, sometimes a day.

Setting up Google Analytics for Subsites
I currently have one main .com site and am planning on launching geo-location subsites .co.uk, .com.au, .ru, etc... Traffic will flow between both sites and some of the content on the subsites will be duplicate and therefore include a canonical tag to the main site. I want to set up GA to capture who is going to the subsites and vice versa and correctly capture crossover traffic. Any advice on implementing advanced analytics directly (or links to sources that will direct me the right direction for this project)

Google Analytics Organic Keyword (Not Provided) Alternative Hacks?
I'm sure everyone is sick of the (Not Provided) keywords because I know I am, and Google reckons that you should only see 10% or less (I'm currently around 13% and growing). I am seeking alternatives or hacks that will help display the keywords? If you have a hack to actually display the keywords, please share it your ideas and thoughts? I recently implemented a hack that will show the landing page of the keywords which is better than nothing. But as an eCommerce site, I have about 10% of my transactions which not provided, knowing the keywords would really help. Would love to hear your thoughts?

Traffic Down for Most Referrers - not just Google
Our traffic has taken a severe hit, over the past 3 weeks - down about 60%, which I had assumed was caused by the Penguin update. However on closer inspection of our analytics, our traffic is is down by between 30 and 50% for nearly all our referrers - including Bing and other search engines, referring sites, and even direct traffic! Google provides the vast majority of our traffic, so in terms of the absolute visitor count, the drop in Google traffic has the biggest effect - by some distance. But the fact that traffic is down by similar percentages suggest that Penguin isn't the cause of our troubles at all. We sell garden products in the UK, and it's just coming into peak season. Last year, May was one of our top months, External conditions - such as the very wet weather over the past month, economic gloom and doom - don't begin to explain this sudden and dramatic drop in traffic. We are very perplexed. If anyone has any bright ideas, I'd be interested to hear them. Ben

How Google handles keywords and punctuation?
How does Google handle punctuation of keywords within its search? If I have three keywords together, but on the site there is a question mark between them, does Google ignore the question mark? Or should I think of a new way of writing the content so Google likes it more? And would this apply with articles (a, the, etc) and prepositions such as (in, of, etc.)? Thanks a lot.
