Some things I have noticed SEO which showed a positive
-
Hi,
Just a few small things I have noticed which has made a difference in ranking, thought I would share, small things but every little helps.
Looks like more content on a page the better the ranking, in a test I have done this is what I found:
page with 0 content - Google page 11
page with 250 content - Google page 5
page with 500 content - Google page 2
page with 1000 content - Google page 1, position 3
Looks like Google might count the words on a page (like you can do in Microsoft word) and then apply a score against it.
Tweets and likes (78) showed a jump from page 1, position 8, to page 1, position 1 (this was the only form of link building and no changes made apart from adding the share plugin).
Kind of makes me think if your starting a new site or page then add 750 - 1000 words of good content (tutorial or whatever) with a social sharing tool and let this run will give you a better chance of ranking when you start to introduce products and services.

Yes that was what I was thinking. Having said that, it is possible to obscure the theme of the page by adding more text also
-
Yeah it was relevant. So you could say relevance played apart but all of them had relevant content at the same quality.
I'm not saying what im saying is fact just the results I got look like it might be a factor, there is quite a large gap between rankings and it goes in order of number of words.
Guess you could say more words more relevant.
-
But was the content relavant to the keywords?
that could explain if it was building relevance, rather that purly number of words
-
Separate domains using same template with unique content straight out of word.
I didn't look into using the same keyword density as I just typed it up and added keyword terms where they looked natural.
I did add 500 words then a week later another 500 words then it jumped so my mistake there but the others had content added once before indexed and that was the result.
-
Were they randon words or reletive content?
It may be that your page becomes more relevant as you add more content, Matt Cutts suggest you dont need more content to be authoritive.

SEO audit for ccTLD sites
Hi.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | SEOSanna
My customer has sites with Country code TLDs (e.g. https://sample.fr, https://sample.fi and https://sample.en) and I'm supposed to perform SEO audit for them. Is there any way to perform audit at the same time for all versions? Can I perform audit e.g. just for https://sample or do I have to run every .fr, .fi and .en separately in multiple tools I use? Thanks much in advance!0 -

SEO Provider
At the risk of opening the flood gates, I'm posting this in hopes of finding a SEO provider on this site. I'm currently a member, and have learned a lot through this site, but I'm still having issues ranking higher. Because of this, I have come to the conclusion that I need a dedicated SEO company/professional who can help our company reach the next level. I'm open to suggestions of companies that you have used, or please feel free to throw your hat into the ring. Thanks in advance! AW

Seo for Q&A site
Hi, I am working on a newly launched Q&A site. We have very few questions and users right now and very very low seo traffic. In order to increase the number of users and seo traffic we intend to create a number of pages containing potential questions. Each page would have the following structure: Question. Ex: "What are the top wholesale suppliers of coffee in China?" Some content. Ex: Are you looking for wholesale suppliers of coffee in China? Post your question here? Question form Some additional content So there would be a page for wholesale suppliers of coffee for every country. We would publish the pages gradually and the content would be unique but yet similar (ex: only the Country changes). What do you think about this approach? Is it a good idea or can it be dangerous? We don't want to incur in any kind of penalization, we just want to give the possibility to people who are looking for specific information to find us and be able to post the request on our website.
