I have more than 4000 pages but still have a low trafic. Would love to know more to be better ranked ?

My website is a magazine about travel and fashion. But even if i have a lot of pages, I am still low in ranking.
Why ? Thanks for any advice !

I don't want to distract others from possibly giving a better answer then mine.
I will say this, if you're primary target is France then you should build a strong keyword association with what your site says and what you expect your users to find or do. To me (again I can only read the English) I didn't understand what I was suppose to see or do on the site. Was I there because I wanted to see possible spots to visit? Or was I there to book a trip? I don't know.
My experience on the site was I was looking at a French blog spot. There is no call to action (Reserve Hotel, Book A Trip) so the only thing I could see was recommendations. With the translation to English made that hard to want to read.
Again since you are primary working in the France market I would suggest generating the keywords in French, outlining what your goals are for your viewers and implementing a strategy that attracts those types of users/readers. While following the SEO Basics.
After you have established your site in France, then come back and work on the English side of things.
-
First of all, I am not an english native. So I try to do my best but I sincerely recognise that I do not want to lose time over translation so that is why they are not good as they should probably be.
Maybe It's not perfect but I would love to see your French translations, just to laugh for a minute -
Do you have a list of search terms which you are targeting? You may have 4000 pages of content, but if it isn't targeted enough then you won't rank particularly well.
I'd also echo Donford's comment above that the translation could use some work!
-
My specific region is France. More specifically Toulouse.
-
Also what is your primary target region? France ?
I can find you in Google.fr pretty easily, but Google.com not so much. Some of the English pages could use a little better translation.
If you're targeting 2 countries / languages you should also use specific titles
FR Title Tag: Jet-lag-trip, le magazine lifestyle du voyage: hotels, restaurants
EN Title Tag: Jet-lag-trip, le magazine lifestyle du voyage: hotels, restaurantsThis is an example of a challenge. When you target two languages you need to clearly define the keywords for each language and incorporate them appropriately on every page. It is twice the work, but also twice the potential.
I am sure others will have some input as well. I don't speak French (wish I did).

Of course !

Ranking in Different Countries - Ecommerce site
My client has a .com ecommere site with UK-based serves and he wants to target two other countries (both English speaking). By the looks of it, he wouldn't want to create separate local TLDs targeting each country, I therefore wanted to suggest adding subdomains / subfolders geo-targeted to each country that they want to target, however, I'm worried that this will cause duplicate content issues... What do you think would be the best solution? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Does Google take into account the place where the server is hosted to rank the pages.
Does Google take into account the place where the server is hosted to rank the pages. What I mean is, if I have a server in USA and I am working for the Spain marketplace: Will Google rank better my pages for this market if the server were hosted in Spain?

Single keyword not ranking in US only
I recently took on a client who had a 6 month old site, and had not done any seo or link building. All links so far have been natural, I can't see anything dodgy that would cause a problem. It's fairly niche so just sorting out the page titles and a bit of on site stuff got them ranking on page 1 & 2 in the UK and US for most of their keywords. However their main keyword which is just the name of the product (lets say xxx and xxxs ) does not appear anywhere in the US search, despite ranking #10 in the UK and all related terms ('what is xxx', 'how to use xxx', 'benfits of xxx' etc) having similar rank on both. They didn't have any analytics installed before I took over so I can't see any historical changes in traffic from different keywords. Any ideas why one single keyword would not show up at all just on Google US when everything else is ok?

Improving Search Rankings in other Countries for an existing site
Hello SEOmoz, I have a very well respected international client who ranks high in the US and for English language Google search results worldwide. However, the client's foreign language pages for specific countries do not show up on the first page of SERPs in those specific countries. The foreign nation/language pages are served on the same root domain as the main English language site it this fashion: www.client.com/france www.client.com/brazil Here are my questions: What can we do from an SEO standpoint to improve SERPs in Google.fr or other countries What is the best way to prevent duplicate content errors or prevent the wrong page from being indexed abroad. What are some best practices when using Google Webmaster tools in this regard? Thanks

Sudden drop in rankings after 301 redirect
We recently merged our old webshops to one big webshop. The new webshop is mutlidomain/multilanguage so the English version is at the .com extension and the germand version at the .de extension etc. etc. We redirected the 2 best old webshops to the .com extention with a htaccess 301 redirect. The other old webshops we divided over the other extensions. We redirected the 200 most importent pages with a page to page redirect and redirected the other indexed pages to the new index page. (300K) Everything went well and the new website started indexing. All extentions are doing well and even the .com version had very good rankings for a few days. After a few days we almost lost all rankings to the .com version. We did always clean seo, had 100% unique content written by our own writers and translated by our own translators. Our old webshops have very good branche related backlinks and i can`t find anything else then the 300K redirects to the homepage that might be the problem. Hope somebody will help us, or know someone we can hire to check our webmaster account, and check everything we did.

Is there a correlation between ranking and different TLD
I've been thinking about buying some domains recently with some different extensions. In particular domains with country specific TLD's such as .in and .be etc.. But my question is has anyone had experience ranking domains like these in the UK market. Is there a correlation between ranking and a country specific domain to rank in the UK market? I know I can target these domains at the UK market in GWMT, but is there a negative factor in trying to rank say a .in the UK?
