Need your thoughts on my site
-
Hi, This is my site: http://hemorrhoidssuccess.com/ I have got some decent natural links with a mix of different anchor texts. My main keyword is "Hemorrhoids Treatment", And i got very less exact match anchor texts.
Now i was able to rank for "Top Hemorrhoid Treatment" on #2 Page, but i was not in the index for the my main keyword "Hemorrhoids Treatment". Can you review my site and let me know, what i am missing? Do i need to get more links? If so with what anchor texts?
Will be waiting for your replies..
Thanks in Advance

Ok, Thanks for your suggestions.
Btw, How do you measured the competition in %? Is it from Adwords or what?
-
Because:
Hemorrhoids Treatment is a Highly competitive keyword 69%
Top Hemorrhoids Treatment is moderately competitive keyword 49%
Which means that with the on page seo and the anchor text you have used can rank were you are now but it does not means that by using the same strategy will get you anything for a highly competitive keyword. To fight for those keywords you must show expertise in the area and provide value to Google users. In other words you are competing against Harvard, Mayo Clinic, WebMD, etc. Just remember that Google does not own us anything. They are a private company that will try to provide its users the best and most relevant information when they search. In other words build a site for your users and not Google. Concentrate on your site and not what Google will think about it. Then you will see how ranking will flow for you. Today is a good day to read very careful the Google Webmaster Guidelines. Follow them and you will be a happy webmaster.

But,
I am concerned with one issue here.
Why i was able to rank for Top hemorrhoid treatment, but not Hemorrhoids treatment?
I was not even in the index for the keyword Hemorrhoids Treatment.
Do you have any thoughts on this.
-
Wow, if someone ripped your site then you must try to contact that person first because they are outranking you for your keywords.
This is how I may approach your situation:
1. Change your site design or layout since it is the same as
http://hemorrhoidtreatmentadvice.org/.
2. Report that website to the domain registrar.
3. There is nothing wrong with holistic medicine or herbal medicine.
But you need to be the star of the topic. Provide information and advice
about the condition. Link to relevant authority information and keep
people informed. Always say something like the FDA has not verified this
information and consult your physician before starting any new medical
regime. That will make you Legit and a reliable seller. Brand your site.
Like I mentioned: that footer link does not make you any good it will kill
your rankings. That was old SEO that was killed by Google many years ago.4. Get a subscriber email list.
5. Link to your blog from the header and provide unique useful information.
6. Provide real contact information.
7. Add term of service and hammer that it is a herbal remedy so you will not be liable.
8. Add about us page and what you want to achieve with your site and company
9. Then concentrate on branding and link building but with a brand on mind. You can check SEOMOZ webinar on branding.
Best of Lucks

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion, but already there are a bunch of affiliate sites ranking well for that keyword and i am the one trying to rank for that keyword. Moreover, i am an affiliate for herbal products which offers treatment for hemorrhoids and there a lot of satisfied customers with herbal treatment and it requires no FDA Approval. I am not selling any illegal drugs here, You can search for the reviews of the products i am affiliate with it, you can see many good reviews, i just selected the best herbal treatments with good reviews. And moreover i am not offering any Miracle here.
And for your point visit official site:
Yes i am an affiliate site, but i am pointing to official sites only but not any fake sites.And that was not my site, some one ripped my site but ranking well for that keywords.

Your site Logo is an image with your domain name. <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">keywords</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">hemorrhoids treatment, hemorrhoid treatment, treatment for hemorrhoids</a>" /> It is no longer used! Title tag: Best Hemorrhoids Treatment! What is your branding effort? Are you looking for a natural, safe and effective treatment? I will never rank you any higher than the last page of Google. Are you an MD to offer treatment to people? That is highly irresponsible. Take that from an MD which I am. **Hover over Visit Hem-Relief’s Official Website** it says that it links to http://hemorrhoidssuccess.com/hemrelief but takes you to http://www.westernherbal.com/products/Hem-Relief.html???? All of your links are doing the same. Why in earth will I would like Google to provide me your website if I am searching for Hemorrhoids Treatments? As an user I would like to have reliable professional medical opinion not a website with bunch of pills with affiliate links promising a miracle that is not FDA approve or backed up by evidence base medicine.. What are your terms of services? Is your stuff FDA verifiable? Footer link to your domain with keyword Hemorrhoids Treatments!!! Over optimized! plus also you own http://hemorrhoidtreatmentadvice.org/ that ranks on the first page with the same website your posted here. Duplicated sites? Why?

Has this site been a victim of negative seo?
The rankings for our client's site - www.yourlifeprotected.co.uk fell off the face of the earth back in June. Despite trying a huge number of things to try and help the site recover, we've seen no real positive improvements since then. Examples of things we have tried: Disavowed & manually removed poor quality Links Removed any internal Duplicate Content Removed any broken links Re-written all website content to ensure unique & high quality No-Followed all outbound links Added any missing title tags changed hosting Rewritten content to ensure no duplication internally or externally The most recent issue we've picked up is that some highly spammy sites seem to have copied extracts of text from the website and hidden them in their pages. This is a rather puzzling one, as there aren't backlinks, pointing to our site - just the copy. For example - Cancer Page and Diabetes Page.It feels very much as though this could be a negative SEO attack which could be responsible for the drop in rankings and traffic the site has experienced. If this is the case, what can we do about it?! Having already re-written the copy on the site, we obviously dont want to do this again unnecessarily - especially if this could just happen again in future! Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated.

Bad site migration - what to do!
Hi Mozzers - I'm just looking at a site which has been damaged by a very poor site migration. Basically, the old URLs were 301'd to a page on the new website (not a 404) telling everyone the page no longer existed. They did not 301 old pages to equivalent new pages. So I just checked Google WMT and saw 1,000 crawl errors - basically the old URLs. This migration was done back in February, since when traffic to the website has never recovered. Should I fix this now? Is it worth implementing the correct 301s now, after such a timelapse?

Redirecting Pages from site A to site B
Hi, I have a client who have a solid, high ranking content based site (site A). They have now created an ecommerce site in addition (site B). To give site B a boost in terms of search engine visibility upon launch, they now wish to redirect approx 90% of site As pages to site B. What would be the implications of this? Apart from customers being automatically redirected from the page they thought they where landing on, how would google now view site A? What are your thoughts to thier idea. I am trying to talk them out of it as I think its a poor one.

Site duplication issue....
Hi All, I have a client who has duplicated an entire section of their site onto another domain about 1 year ago. The new domain was ranking well but was hit heavily back in March by Panda. I have to say the set up isn't great and the solution I'm proposing isn't ideal, however, as an agency we have only been tasked with "performing SEO" on the new domain. Here is an illustration of the problem: http://i.imgur.com/Mfh8SLN.jpg My solution to the issue is to 301 redirect the duplicated area of the original site out (around 150 pages) to the new domain name, but I'm worried that this could be could cause a problem as I know you have to be careful with redirecting internal pages to external when it comes to SEO. The other issue I have is that the client would like to retain the menu structure on the main site, but I do not want to be putting an external link in the main navigation so my proposed solution is as follows: Implement 301 redirects for URLs from original domain to new domain Remove link out to this section from the main navigation of original site and add a boiler plate link in another area of the template for "Visit xxx for our xxx products" kind of link to the other site. Illustration of this can be found here: http://i.imgur.com/CY0ZfHS.jpg I'm sure the best solution would be to redirect in URLs from the new domain into the original site and keep all sections within the one domain and optimise the one site. My hands are somewhat tied on this one but I just wanted clarification or advice on the solution I've proposed, and that it wont dramatically affect the standing of the current sites.

What are your thoughts on Content Automation?
Hi, I want to ask forum members’ opinion on content automation. And before I raise the eyebrows of many of you with this question, I’d like to state I am creating content and doing SEO for my own website so I’m not looking to cut corners with spammy tactics that could hurt my website from an organic search perspective. The goal is to automate pages in the areas of headings, Meta Titles, Meta Descriptions, and perhaps a paragraph of content. More importantly, I’d like these pages to add value to the users experience so the question is…. How do I go about automating the pages, and more specifically, how is meta title, meta descriptions etc. automated? I’d also like to hear from people that recommend steering clear of any form of content automation. I hope my question isn’t too bit vague and I look forward to hearing from other Mozzers. Regards, Russell in South Africa

Site structure question
Hello Everyone, I have a question regarding site structure and I would like to mastermind it with everyone. So I am optimizing a website for a Ford Dealership in Boston, MA. The way the site architecture is set up is as follows: Home >>>> New Inventory >>> Inventory Page (with search refinement choices) After you refine your search (lets say we choose a Ford F150 in white) it shows a page with images, price information and specs. (Nothing the bots or users can sink their teeth into) My thoughts are to create category pages for each Ford model with awesome written content and THEN link to the inventory pages. So it would look like this: Home >>> New Inventory >>> Ford 150 Awesome Category Page>>>>Ford F150 Inventory Page I would work hard at getting these category pages to rank for the vehicle for our GEO targeted locations. Here is my questions: Would you be annoyed to first land on a category page with lots of written text, reviews images and videos first and then link off to the inventory page. Or would you prefer to go right from the new inventory page to the actual inventory page and start looking for vehicles? Thanks you so much, Bill
