On Page Grade Reports - Which to optimize first?
-
I'm wanting to prioritize my on-page optimization efforts by doing the work that will have the most impact first.
Let's say, hypothetically, that this was my on-page report card:
Grade A - 60 reports
Grade B - 20 reports
Grade C - 70 reports
Grade D - 70 reports
Grade F - 300 reportsWhere is the biggest opportunity for increasing good traffic?
- Doing more work on Grade A pages to ensure I continue to rank
- Moving mid-grade pages up to high-grade pages (e.g., raising a B to A, or a C to B)
- Moving low-grade pages up to mid-grade pages (e.g., raising a D to C, or a F to D)
-
Think of it like this:
If the grade F is on page 2 position 15, while the grade C is on page 1 position 5, would you benefit more from;
Grade C moving from 5 to 2
Or, Grade F moving from 15 to 10? -
Well, let's say I have 2 equally important keywords scored as C and F respectively. Do I impact my business more by optimizing the mid-range or the low-range. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
-
I agree; prioritizing based on the importance of the keywords can be more important than trying to move the needle for lesser important keywords.
-
Don't worry about what they are now, get the ones that make you money to Grade A asap

Hi Justin,
I'd say it depends on how important the keyword is to you. If you got a grade F for something then I assume you aren't even targeting that keyword!
Look at easy/hard the fix would be as well because some of the fixes need a considerable amount of work. As long as it is a keyword and page that is going to drive traffic and sales, I'd concentrate on moving the C's to B's and B's to A's.

Too many links per page? Double navigation on every page...
I have a client with navigation across the top of each page plus the same nav links in a sidebar on every page. Can that duplication (or the sheer number of links) on each page have a negative ranking factor?

Losing Page Rank
Hello Moz I launched a re-design of our site over the summer and we jumped in organic search for some keywords. Recently one of our landing pages is being hammered by Google last we we lost one position this week we lost 5 positions. Although, when I check the on-page grade Moz gives it an A is there a check sheet anyone has that I could go through to see if I have any common problems. Ryan

Can I force an update of Grade Reports?
It looks like my weekly crawl has finished, but my Grade Reports still reflect last week. Is there a way to manually update them, or do I just have to wait it out?

Keywords per Page
Iv'e looked through the QA here and there are a lot of different conflicting opinions on what is a generally a good idea. For Example Florist Clearwater Clearwater Florist Florist in Clearwater Florist in Clearwater FL Clearwater FL Florist Clearwater Florida Florist Florist in Clearwater Florida Florist near Clearwater FL etc.... So for something like this example....should I have one page represent all of these keyword iterations or split them among different pages?

How about this "onpage overoptimisation" everybody is talking about? Are the on-page optimisation reports still to be used?
Are the on-page optimisation reports still to be used? If we do check all factors we risk penalization because of latest Panda update?
