Hi Chandana,
I agree with Nakul to a certain degree (sounds like a full blow SEO is not in your timeframe though). If I were you I would get an inventory of all of the pages, look at what each page is trying to rank for or at least the most important pages (each page should be optimized for 1 or 2 keywords). Use the google keyword tool to see how many people are searching for these topics. If the number is very high and competitive, try to find a keyword that is more attainable or if nobody is searching for those keywords, find one that can take its place. For instance, if you are trying to rank for tours and entertainment, it will take a LOT of effort to show up in top 100 searches since that is an extremely general and tough keyword to rank for I am assuming. Maybe you should try to rank for something like haunted house tours in massachusetts, etc. Then when you have a good sense of landing page and keywords you can dive right into on page SEO. Optimize meta tags and on-page. While you are waiting to see how those changes affect your SERPs, start link building the right way! Very important to get your domain and page authority up by getting other tour websites and blogs to link to you.
20 days is a pretty slim time-frame but like I said, the quickest solution is to really get organized, optimize on page SEO and work towards getting those high quality links. You can increase traffic by pushing your social programs too!
When Nakul says SEO audit he is saying that you should look at the current website, look at what keywords they are trying to rank for and find out exactly where they are ranking today. Take a look at the domain authority and the links that are pointing to your customers' website and try to increase that number with high quality links (links from related companies with high domain authority.) SEOmoz has tools for you to accomplish all of these things in their resources section!
Good luck Chandana!
Pat

No, I'm sure that Nakul means...
Do a thorough examination of the site. Do research for each page and make sure that each page is optimised towards the keywords you want to rank for. Also conduct an off page SEO analysis.

SEO audit means ,SEOMOZ edit ?

You need to look at what other things are needed to strengthen the pages (On-site SEO) as well as building domain authority so that pages from this site show up in the SERPS. It sounds like your problem could be either of those 2 or a combination of both.
If I were you I would look at the quality of the content, strength of the pages as well as do a complete SEO audit of your client's website to make sure your site is indeed rankable. Try a combination of both the factors and see where you get the most impact.

Ranking without use of keywords on page & without use of matching anchor text??
Howdy folks. So, here is a dilemma. One of competitors of ours is somehow ranking for a keyphrase "houston chronicle obituaries" without any usage of these keywords on the page, without any full or partial anchor text match ("chronicle" is not used anywhere). The rest of competitiors' rankings make sense. Any ideas?

How To Optimize A Page For Multiple Keywords
Hi Guys, In this video by Brian Dean he talks about how to go about optimising for multiple keywords. He basically said the main factors for optimising a page for multiple keywords are the following: Identify other keywords with same search intent as your primary keyword. Add them to title tag strategically, don't stuff them in there. Add as many of those keywords as h2 tags into the content, again when it makes sense. Are there any other more advanced ways you can use to optimize a page for multiple keywords with same search intent that could be good? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated! Cheers.

How to measure traffic for a keyword
Sitting in Country A I want to see how much traffic a particular keyword receives in Country B. Whats the best way to do it? Also, will the search results differ if I am analyzing the above sitting in Country A viz-a-viz Country B. In other words, will the IP of the country I am making the search from play a role in the results?

How fast is too fast in building quality links?
So I'm working on a brand new project, and want to go after my competition rather aggressively. I have a long list of industry resources, including blogs, articles and directories, and several news/media/press release type sites that I could have link to me in a very short amount of time. How fast is too fast? Is there a penalty for getting links too fast if they are all legit?

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?

How to Target Keyword Permutations
I have a client that wants to rank for a keyword phrase that has many permutations.. ex. "Alaska Hill Country Resort", "Hill Country Resort Alaska", "Hill Country Alaska Resort" But I'm wondering if I should target these all on the same page or not. I'm assuming all of these permutations are actually valid searches because I did my keyword research for 'exact match' keywords and got results like this.. (let me know if I'm missing something here, or if this sounds right) [Alaska Hill Country Resort] - 230 Local Searches [Hill Country Resort Alaska] - 140 Local Searches [Hill Country Alaska Resort] - 30 Local Searches The phrase we're targeting is their main keyword phrase, so I've chosen their home-page as the page to rank for this phrase. My thought is to optimize for the most popular phrase (ex. "Alaska Hill Country Resort"), and sprinkle in the other phrases throughout the copy. Next I would run a link-building campaign targeting the main phrase first.. then the next phrase, and so on, so that my anchor text is more heavily focused on the more popular terms, but I would also make sure to include the less popular terms. Do you think this is the best way to go about this? Do I really need to make individual pages for each of the permutations, or is it okay to target them all on one page since they are essentially the same keyword?
