Difficulties in positiong a specific keyword
-
Hi,
I am responsible for the blinds and curtains brand Kaaten and the its online store that operates in the Spanish market, during the last 6 months we have increasing substantially the traffic and improving the positioning of our main keywords (in most of the cases we postion right under Ikea and Leroy Merlin). However, there is a keyword that I cannot get to position, not even in the top 50 positions - that is the word "cortinas".
I do not understand why is that happening as in a word like "estores" with similar monthly searches and competition we rank 3rd. Looking at the Home site and analysing both keywords the density is similar, so I do not see many differences there. I also cleaned up a bit the content to remove some "cortinas" keywords and thus avoid the keyword stuffing, but no results so far.
Does any of you have any suggestion that what I can do to position better in that particular keyword?
Look forward for your response and thanks for your help.

Glad to hear those rankings are improving! I'd be really keen to hear how you get on, as I really can't see anything obvious as to why those wouldn't be ranking, aside from looking into the site structure more and use of 'cortinas' anchors.
Looking forward to seeing the site ranking well in the future!

Hi Hemblem 5,
Thanks for your answer, indeed I will be looking at consolidating the content as it might be that we have too many content pages and not a clear view of towards which one we should focus to position the word "cortinas".
For other concepts we are ranking quite well, "estores" we rank in top 5 and also "estores opacos" (black-out blinds) or "estores enrollables" (roller blinds) we rank quite good also. Even in concepts that contain the word "cortinas", like "cortinas opacas" that we rank in the top 3.
Actually for the last weeks we noticed an improvement on the positioning for the concept "cortinas" but we still not on teh first page that it is what we aim.
Anyhow, I will do what you mention and try to consolidate the pages not to scatter around the possibilities to rank for this concept.
Best regards and thanks for your help!

Hey,
I don't think I can answer this one for you completely, but having a look around the site, I can hopefully get some ideas flowing for you?
There's quite a few different pages targeting cortinas; using site:kaaten.com, I can see that there's this page which includes a KW-rich link to the homepage using the phrase 'cortinas'. Then there's also this page, which seems to serve a similar purpose?
I must admit, I don't know the cortinas/curtains market too well, but I have a suspicion that the way the site is structured might be worth looking at. There's a lot of great content, but perhaps some of it could be consolidated.
How are your rankings for other product related terms? E.g. specific types of cortinas

Keywords are indexed on the home page
Hello everyone, For one of our websites, we have optimized for many keywords. However, it seems that every keyword is indexed on the home page, and thus not ranked properly. This occurs only on one of our many websites. I am wondering if anyone knows the cause of this issue, and how to solve it. Thank you.

Redirect 'keyword-url' to improve ranking?
I was wondering if a good url, with a keyword in it, can help you improve the position of that certain keyword by redirecting that url to your website. To make it clear: We run the website www.terello.nl, and have the possibility to let the url www.iphonereparatie.nl (translation: iphonerepair) redirect to our website. Would this help us to rank for the keyword 'iPhone reparatie'? I hope that I made myself clear this way:) Otherwise i'm more than happy to clearify myself!

Keywords Rankings-Change-Bug?
Bug? or just because the change happened beyound the Top 50 within Bing & Yahoo SERPs? The Keyword Ranking for in the example "dry desulfurization" shows a change of >40 up, but the history (Google) does not show these changes. May be, it is that the change was within Yahoo and Bing Rankings, and because the keyword is not showing up within the Top 50, I just can't see? ... but Rogerbot is considering. Thanks for any response 🙂 rankings-change-bug.jpg

Competitive vs. non-competitive keywords
Posting this on behalf of a friends at a breast and ovarian cancer support organization... We're trying to improve our web site's results in search engines. I've been reading up on SEO and learning that it's wise to optimize for more specialized keywords rather than for highly competitive keywords (e.g., "triple negative breast cancer," instead of "breast cancer"). Practically speaking, how does this work when you're optimizing content? Does "triple negative breast cancer" need to appear multiple times in the page's content and is there an optimal place on the page where it should appear? Do keyword tags actually work, or should we not even bother spending time on adding them? How about title tags and description metatags? Will they help with search results? I know that increasing the number of outside links makes a difference, but will it help if I provide links from one page on our web site to another? Thanks!

Keyword and URL
I have a client who has a popular name (like 'Joe Smith'). His blog URL has only his first name and the name of his company in it, like joe.company.com. His blog doesn't rank well at all in the first 3-4 Google SERPs. I was thinking of advising him to change the URL of his blog to joesmith.company.com, and having his webmaster do 301 redirects from the old URL to the new one. Do you think this is a good strategy, or would you recommend something else? I realize ranking isn't just about the URL, it's about links, etc. But I think making his URL more specific to his name could help. Any advice greatly appreciated! Jim
