What am i doing wrong?

Hi There
we are trying to get http://www.stainless-steel-fabricators.net/ on to page 1 in the UK for keyword 'stainless steel fabricators'. according to reports most of the top 10 websites hardly have any back links or any basic optimisation (title tag, met description). our pages have A grade optimisation and loads of linking domains. stuck as to know what else to do
anyone help?
Bob

Hey Jonathan thanks for your speedy response. I will get on with the ironing. Thanks so much!

Also, if you look at your link profile a lot of your links have that exact match anchor text "stainless steel fabricators"; in fact 176 out of your 270 links have it. I do see that that is the name of the company, but perhaps Google might think that is unnatural linking.

Hi Bob,
There could be many factors as to why the website is not ranking for that keyword. However, I can give you a few pointers that may help:
- Remove capitalisation of meta title (far too spammy)
- Create more engaging onpage content, with keyword variations mentioned throughout.
- Meta description is far too long (Currently 211 characters, should be a max of 155)
- Many of your backlinks are from non relevant poor quality websites.
- Page load speeds are poor due to amount of images
- You have two H1 tags (The images is being counted)
I would look to get some of these issues ironed out to see if this would make any improvement.

Wrong Page Ranking?!?
I did some research today, one of our keywords is "mobile column lifts." I recently redid a page on our website to target this keyword. When I Google search this keyword I see that a page on our site titled "Reconditioned Mobile Lifts" is ranking for this keyword. I took a look with Moz, our mobile column lifts page ranks 90 for the keyword, and the reconditioned lifts page ranks 73 the keyword. Why is this happening? How can I fix this? https://www.slec.com/mobile-column-lifts/ https://www.slec.com/reconditioned-mobile-lifts/

IIS 7.5 - Duplicate Content and Totally Wrong robot.txt
Well here goes! My very first post to SEOmoz. I have two clients that are hosted by the same hosting company. Both sites have major duplicate content issues and appear to have no internal links. I have checked this both here with our awesome SEOmoz Tools and with the IIS SEO Tool Kit. After much waiting I have heard back from the hosting company and they say that they have "implemented redirects in IIS7.5 to avoid duplicate content" based on the following article: http://blog.whitesites.com/How-to-setup-301-Redirects-in-IIS-7-for-good-SEO__634569104292703828_blog.htm. In my mind this article covers things better: www.seomoz.org/blog/what-every-seo-should-know-about-iis. What do you guys think? Next issue, both clients (as well as other sites hosted by this company) have a robot.txt file that is not their own. It appears that they have taken one client's robot.txt file and used it as a template for other client sites. I could be wrong but I believe this is causing the internal links to not be indexed. There is also a site map, again not for each client, but rather for the client that the original robot.txt file was created for. Again any input on this would be great. I have asked that the files just be deleted but that has not occurred yet. Sorry for the messy post...I'm at the hospital waiting to pick up my bro and could be called to get him any minute. Thanks so much, Tiff

Loss of search engine positions after 301 redirect - what went wrong?!?
Hi Guys After adhering to the On Page optimisation suggestions given by SEOmoz, we redirected some of old urls to new ones. We set 301 redirects from the old pages to new on a page by page basis but our search engine ranking subsequently fell off the radar and lost PR. We confirmed redirection with fiddler and it shows 301 permanent redirect on every page as expected. To manage redirection using a common code logic we executed following: In Http module, using “rewrite path” we route “all old page requests” to a page called “redirect.aspx? oldpagename =[oldpagename]”. This happens at server side. In redirect.aspx we are redirecting from old page to new page using 301 permanent redirect. In the browser, when old page is requested, it will 301 redirect to new page. In hope we and others can learn from our mistakes - what did we do wrong ?!? Thanks in advance. Dave - www.paysubsonline.com
