Need your thoughts on my site
-
Hi, This is my site: http://hemorrhoidssuccess.com/ I have got some decent natural links with a mix of different anchor texts. My main keyword is "Hemorrhoids Treatment", And i got very less exact match anchor texts.
Now i was able to rank for "Top Hemorrhoid Treatment" on #2 Page, but i was not in the index for the my main keyword "Hemorrhoids Treatment". Can you review my site and let me know, what i am missing? Do i need to get more links? If so with what anchor texts?
Will be waiting for your replies..
Thanks in Advance

Ok, Thanks for your suggestions.
Btw, How do you measured the competition in %? Is it from Adwords or what?
-
Because:
Hemorrhoids Treatment is a Highly competitive keyword 69%
Top Hemorrhoids Treatment is moderately competitive keyword 49%
Which means that with the on page seo and the anchor text you have used can rank were you are now but it does not means that by using the same strategy will get you anything for a highly competitive keyword. To fight for those keywords you must show expertise in the area and provide value to Google users. In other words you are competing against Harvard, Mayo Clinic, WebMD, etc. Just remember that Google does not own us anything. They are a private company that will try to provide its users the best and most relevant information when they search. In other words build a site for your users and not Google. Concentrate on your site and not what Google will think about it. Then you will see how ranking will flow for you. Today is a good day to read very careful the Google Webmaster Guidelines. Follow them and you will be a happy webmaster.

But,
I am concerned with one issue here.
Why i was able to rank for Top hemorrhoid treatment, but not Hemorrhoids treatment?
I was not even in the index for the keyword Hemorrhoids Treatment.
Do you have any thoughts on this.
-
Wow, if someone ripped your site then you must try to contact that person first because they are outranking you for your keywords.
This is how I may approach your situation:
1. Change your site design or layout since it is the same as
http://hemorrhoidtreatmentadvice.org/.
2. Report that website to the domain registrar.
3. There is nothing wrong with holistic medicine or herbal medicine.
But you need to be the star of the topic. Provide information and advice
about the condition. Link to relevant authority information and keep
people informed. Always say something like the FDA has not verified this
information and consult your physician before starting any new medical
regime. That will make you Legit and a reliable seller. Brand your site.
Like I mentioned: that footer link does not make you any good it will kill
your rankings. That was old SEO that was killed by Google many years ago.4. Get a subscriber email list.
5. Link to your blog from the header and provide unique useful information.
6. Provide real contact information.
7. Add term of service and hammer that it is a herbal remedy so you will not be liable.
8. Add about us page and what you want to achieve with your site and company
9. Then concentrate on branding and link building but with a brand on mind. You can check SEOMOZ webinar on branding.
Best of Lucks

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion, but already there are a bunch of affiliate sites ranking well for that keyword and i am the one trying to rank for that keyword. Moreover, i am an affiliate for herbal products which offers treatment for hemorrhoids and there a lot of satisfied customers with herbal treatment and it requires no FDA Approval. I am not selling any illegal drugs here, You can search for the reviews of the products i am affiliate with it, you can see many good reviews, i just selected the best herbal treatments with good reviews. And moreover i am not offering any Miracle here.
And for your point visit official site:
Yes i am an affiliate site, but i am pointing to official sites only but not any fake sites.And that was not my site, some one ripped my site but ranking well for that keywords.

Your site Logo is an image with your domain name. <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">keywords</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">hemorrhoids treatment, hemorrhoid treatment, treatment for hemorrhoids</a>" /> It is no longer used! Title tag: Best Hemorrhoids Treatment! What is your branding effort? Are you looking for a natural, safe and effective treatment? I will never rank you any higher than the last page of Google. Are you an MD to offer treatment to people? That is highly irresponsible. Take that from an MD which I am. **Hover over Visit Hem-Relief’s Official Website** it says that it links to http://hemorrhoidssuccess.com/hemrelief but takes you to http://www.westernherbal.com/products/Hem-Relief.html???? All of your links are doing the same. Why in earth will I would like Google to provide me your website if I am searching for Hemorrhoids Treatments? As an user I would like to have reliable professional medical opinion not a website with bunch of pills with affiliate links promising a miracle that is not FDA approve or backed up by evidence base medicine.. What are your terms of services? Is your stuff FDA verifiable? Footer link to your domain with keyword Hemorrhoids Treatments!!! Over optimized! plus also you own http://hemorrhoidtreatmentadvice.org/ that ranks on the first page with the same website your posted here. Duplicated sites? Why?

Technical Site Migration
Hello All- I have been in the SEO industry for about 4 years and feel fairly confident in my technical SEO; however, I am being asked to conduct a migration that is both a platform change (step 1) then a consolidation change (think of combining websites when a company is acquired) all within a 4-5 month time span. I feel like as I begin to create this multi-step checklist I would love to hear of others that have gone through something similar or have resources you could point me to form more of a process/procedure standpoint. Again - I feel confident in the technical output but I have a fairly junior team and want to execute this smoothly. Feel free to add recommendations or ask for clarification if my discussion question doesn't make sense.

Old site penalised, we moved: Shall we cut loose from the old site. It's curently 301 to new site.
Hi, We had a site with many bad links pointing to it (.co.uk). It was knocked from the SERPS. We tried to manually ask webmasters to remove links.Then submitted a Disavow and a recon request. We have since moved the site to a new URL (.com) about a year ago. As the company needed it's customer to find them still. We 301 redirected the .co.uk to the .com There are still lots of bad links pointing to the .co.uk. The questions are: #1 Do we stop the 301 redirect from .co.uk to .com now? The .co.uk is not showing in the rankings. We could have a basic holding page on the .co.uk with 'we have moved' (No link). Or just switch it off. #2 If we keep the .co.uk 301 to the .com, shall we upload disavow to .com webmasters tools or .co.uk webmasters tools. I ask this because someone else had uploaded the .co.uk's disavow list of spam links to the .com webmasters tools. Is this bad? Thanks in advance for any advise or insight!

Is it Wortwhile to have a HTML site map for a Large Site
We are a large, enterprise site with many pages (some on our CMS and some old pages that exist outside our CMS). Every month we submit various an XML site map. Some pages on our site can no longer be found via following links from one page to another (orphan pages). Some of those pages are important and some not. Is it worth our while to create a HTML site map? Does any one have any recent stats or blog posts to share, showing how a HTML site map may have benefited a large site. Many thanks

Why are these sites outranking me?
I am trying to rank for the phrase "a link between worlds walkthrough" I am on page 1 but there are several results that just outranks me and I cannot see any reason that they would be doing so. My site is hiddentriforce.com/a-link-between-worlds/walkthrough/ For that page I have 5 linking domains, varied anchor text that spans from things like "here" to a variety of related phrases. All of the links come from really good sites My page has 1400 likes, 90 shares, and about 20 each in tweets and +'s DA of 44 PA of 37 The 4 and 5 ranked sites both have WAY less social interactions, lower PA and DA, less links, etc Yet they outrank me why?

Do I have to tell WBT site moved to a subdirectory on another internal site?
I am moving content from one site to another and redirecting the DNS from www.oldsite.com to www.newsite.com/old-site. I have put the 301 in place but I wanted to make sure I have to also tell Webmaster Tools to change the old site to the new domain? We still want the old domain name to answer and redirect to www.newsite.com/old-site. Thanks

Is it possible to Spoof Analytics to give false Unique Visitor Data for Site A to Site B
Hi, We are working as a middle man between our client (website A) and another website (website B) where, website B is going to host a section around websites A products etc. The deal is that Website A (our client) will pay Website B based on the number of unique visitors they send them. As the middle man we are in charge of monitoring the number of Unique visitors sent though and are going to do this by monitoring Website A's analytics account and checking the number of Unique visitors sent. The deal is worth quite a lot of money, and as the middle man we are responsible for making sure that no funny business goes on (IE false visitors etc). So to make sure we have things covered - What I would like to know is 1/. Is it actually possible to fool analytics into reporting falsely high unique visitors from Webpage A to Site B (And if so how could they do it). 2/. What could we do to spot any potential abuse (IE is there an easy way to spot that these are spoofed visitors). Many thanks in advance

Site structure question
Hello Everyone, I have a question regarding site structure and I would like to mastermind it with everyone. So I am optimizing a website for a Ford Dealership in Boston, MA. The way the site architecture is set up is as follows: Home >>>> New Inventory >>> Inventory Page (with search refinement choices) After you refine your search (lets say we choose a Ford F150 in white) it shows a page with images, price information and specs. (Nothing the bots or users can sink their teeth into) My thoughts are to create category pages for each Ford model with awesome written content and THEN link to the inventory pages. So it would look like this: Home >>> New Inventory >>> Ford 150 Awesome Category Page>>>>Ford F150 Inventory Page I would work hard at getting these category pages to rank for the vehicle for our GEO targeted locations. Here is my questions: Would you be annoyed to first land on a category page with lots of written text, reviews images and videos first and then link off to the inventory page. Or would you prefer to go right from the new inventory page to the actual inventory page and start looking for vehicles? Thanks you so much, Bill

Help with a Sticky Site
Hey Everyone - I work for a company that is just getting into SEO. We have had some successes, but one project lately has got us stumped. We have been working hard, but have been unable to make an impact in Google rankings with the following site: http://stoneycreekinn.com/locations/index.cfm/DesMoines We are trying to optimize for the keyword phrase, "des moines hotel" This hotel is a branch location of a hotel chain in the Midwest. *Note we've already moved up some other branch locations for this hotel chain successfully. We've used several tools including the SEOmoz tool and seem to have higher marks than those sites that rank above us in Google surprisingly. Any idea what we're missing? Thanks!
