Why Keyword is not ranking
-
I have blog website - http://uncutweb.com/
My website ranked for keywords - What Color Shoes To Wear With Gold Dress, Keywords is having Moz Difficulty Score: 35% with A grade moz On page Score.
But why my website is not ranked for What Color Shoes To Wear With Purple Bridesmaid Dress or **What Color Shoes To Wear With Coral Dress???**They have less difficulty score and having A grade.

Domain Authority is a metric that Moz uses, but is not a metric that any search engines use for ranking.

Hi Varun,
You're in a weird space here, because you're competing for very long tail keywords that have a lot of answers via forums. If you have a well-written page that is a part of your website and a decent Domain Authority, you should be able to beat them. However, your site looks very young and doesn't have many backlinks or social shares.
Like Wiqas said, part of this is getting links to pages and social attention. However, reviewing your site, I'm worried that Google won't see your pages as very high quality because:
- You have the header of the page, but not any of the text, above the fold. The majority of the top of the page is either blank space or an ad. This looks like low quality content and will be devalued from Panda.
- You're bolding the keyword that you want to get noticed. This can help if it happens naturally, but when you consistently use a long tail keyword in the page title, the header, the URL, and bolded on the page, it will look spammy.
- You're creating a lot of content that is very similar. When I searched on your site, I found "What Color Shoes to Wear With Gold Dress" and "What Color Shoes To Wear With Gold Sequin Dress." Although the articles are not identical, I wouldn't publish content in such an obviously patterned way.
- You're targeting search terms that are not common grammar. A person would be more likely to search for "what color shoes to wear with a gold dress" or "what color shoes to wear with gold dresses." When Google matches keywords, they'll often ignore grammar words, but I guarantee you, the algorithm will notice that you're not using standard English.
You seem to be churning out a lot of content. It's going to be tough to get all that content to rank if you don't give yourself time to make sure that it's well written and useful, plus, you're setting yourself up to get hit by Google's quality control. I'd advise that you slow down a bit, write each article in a unique and compelling way, and spend some time sharing your site. It may seem like a slower process, but it will pay off in the end!
Good luck!

Why does some sites rank with no seo
Why is it that some site rank with zero efforts? I have been working on some seo for a while on my main site and i have been getting more info competition analysis with sem and moz. Looking at the states from this website which tends to popup often in the searches on page 1-2 before my site. This site is not keyword optimized, meaning they arent even trying to rank.

There is no content, articles etc.,
6 backlinks (nothing powerful just 2 directory links and 2 from developer)
Site really isnt even designed to get traffic as its a trade only ecommerce website
I doubt they are hiding anything as far as backlinks etc. as it will get them too many visitors they dont want
The city i am searching isnt even on the page (it is a city within a city so maybe google still relates it)
PA 24 DA 15 Now my site:
Optimized reasearched keywords
175 backlinks
All my main pages have content with images, alt tags, internal linking
full of content, blogs, videos, products (probably 4000, could a site being too big be an issue?)
Site gets regular updates
I probably have 200 citations
All the social media which gets done often
PA 32 DA 20 They do get a good bit of traffic but that is probably the only thing i would see but it would be direct traffic mostly i believe as it would be people going to order regularly since it is a print reseller. They may have some age on me 15 vs 8 years. Could it be some kind of penalty i am not sure about lingering? According to what i know to check everyything looks ok, no shady links accoding to sem. I am working more and more on all the pages but this competittion site really doesnt have crap going on probably 8 pages and 1 page does all the ordering. What the hell does google want from me exactly!0 -
Highly Related, But Not Ranking
Hi Everyone! I'm doing a bit of research on a domain and I've come across something really odd. Doing a search for "asset based lending software" (not with the quotes), www.case.net doesn't show up anywhere in the first 100 results. However, at the bottom of the results in the "Searches related to asset based lending software" section, it lists "computer software enterprises inc" as the 2nd item (the company associated with www.case.net). Any ideas here? NdsoeNn.png

Negative SEO and big decrease in main keyword ranking
Hi about 4 months ago, I had ranking #1 to #4 for "SEO" in Persian in my country; but someone made about 1000 spam links to my site and some other industry sites. I disavowed the links when I see (after 2-3 days of OSE detection). But now I'm in the page 2 of rankings for the most important keyword I ever had. The point is, My visits increased in this months, but I lost my rankings for this keyword not others. The spammy links targeted my main keyword. Whats you idea to get my ranking back? I'm writing content about SEO, Marketing and blogging for about 4 years and I don't have any bad resume in buying links or stuffing keywords or ... All natural.

What is the best way to track rank?
I'm curious what tools and tracking mechanisms everyone uses to track rank, especially with all of the changes in the last year. I've read a ton of articles that say even in 2014, rank will continue to matter, but besides using the keyword rank tool in Moz, I was hoping to learn what everyone else uses to track rank on a keyword and page level (are those two separate things?).

Should I redirect secondary keyword page
I have a reasonably high authority home page and have decided to optimise the home page to target a competitive keyword that previously had a specific page that was optimised on an internal page of my site that I have spent time building links to. The internal page has over 200 links to it so should I 301 redirect this internal page to the home page. Will that increase the auhority of the home page further? Or should I keep the internal page as a 'secondary' page for that keyword?. If I do have two pages don't I risk confusing google?
