How can I improve my rankings in Google with help of seomoz
-
Hey guys,
I have joined seomoz today and set up campaigns for my sites. I got reports about keyword rankings, errors, notices etc.
But I am still confused about how to use seomoz in order to improve my rankings.
My point is does seomoz provides any services for improving position in google or simply seomoz provides only reporting?
These reports are good but my ultimate goal to join seomoz is to improve my rankings for my each website and each post.
Please help.

Before you can even think about tools and reporting you need to have a foundation for where you want to be in a year, 2 years ect.. - these above resources can help you find what you are specifically good at in SEO realm and how to get better in other areas.
If you start with reporting, tools and just focusing on "Better Rankings" you will only be looking at the small picture and setting yourself up for a race you won't win.

Hi Bhadresh, I have found that SEOMoz is an excellent source for reliable information on any topic in the SEO realm. Your ultimate goal may be realized- over time, because its a process, not a quick fix. If you put in time to understand and utilize the information in your reports, take advantage of the SEOMoz tools, read the two SEOMoz blogs and the Q&A forum on s consistent basis, you might surprise yourself with what you will learn and how much your own skills will improve. It's unavoidable. And who knows, if you put it out there, perhaps you'll even gain some valuable recommendations for companies that can assist you. Get to know the folks here- build a sense of who you can trust and potentially build a relationship with.

Thanks for your reply.
I can understand that no software can improve my rankings but what I am looking for is proper instructions i.e. what to do and how to do to get your rankings higher in google or get quality traffic on continuous and long term basis.

Hey David,
Thanks for your quick reply.
As I am complete newbie as far as seo is concerned so I am looking for ways to improve my rankings in Google.
I tried lots of services by other seo company or person but till date nothing worked out. In fact I tried some seo services with good reputation on fiverr.com but no results found.
I am not good in seo, link building, social media marketing and other ways which can boost my rankings and ultimately get quality traffic so I am looking for someone who can help me out.
Lets hope on seomoz I can get it.
Thanks again.

Completely agree. Additionally, any software that sells itself as being able to help your rankings is either lying, or using dodgy techniques that will be picked up and wiped out before long!

BJ, I'm afraid SEOmoz isn't going to do a single thing to improve the rankings for your website.
What it will do though, is give you tools, education and ideas to help you do this yourself. That's what you pay for if you sign up.
This is a process, not a single event that you pay for and get results - the good news is that if you spend time here, learn some good techniques and implement them into your marketing, good things will happen over time.

SEOmoz isn't affiliated with any of the search engines so there is nothing that SEOMoz can really do to actually help you achieve higher rankings for you.
The only way you can improve your rankings is to employ tried and tested best practise techniques and use the SEOMoz tools available to help you research, track and improve your chances of progression.
I don't believe there is a piece of software out there that can genuinely improve your rankings.

Can’t put a finger on, what is causing 12 year domain, SEO optimized and decent link profile to rank lower than other less superior domains.
Can’t put a finger on, what is causing 12 year domain, SEO optimized and decent link profile to rank lower than other less superior domains. I have dissected the site and link, content, etc profile using ahrefs tools, still no luck, and unfortunately they do not have a community to ask anyone opinion. Hoping someone on Moz will be able to provide me with a secondary opinion or something I obviously missing here. Looking for any constructive feedback/professional opinion with fresh look on what maybe the cause of our down rankings and what may be a cause of it. Any feedback is very much appreciated.

Do CTR manipulation services actually work to improve rankings?
I've seen a variety of services on the fringe of the SEO world that send a flow of (fake) traffic to your website via Google, to drive up your SERP CTR and site engagement. Seems gray hat, but I'm curious as to whether it actually works. The latest data I've seen from trustworthy sources (example and example 2) seems mixed on whether CTR has a direct impact on search rankings. Google claims it doesn't. I think it's possible it directly impacts rankings, or its possible Google is using some other metric to reward high engagement pages and CTR correlates with that. Any insight on whether CTR manipulation services actually work?

How can a recruitment company get 'credit' from Google when syndicating job posts?
I'm working on an SEO strategy for a recruitment agency. Like many recruitment agencies, they write tons of great unique content each month and as agencies do, they post the job descriptions to job websites as well as their own. These job websites won't generally allow any linking back to the agency website from the post. What can we do to make Google realise that the originator of the post is the recruitment agency and they deserve the 'credit' for the content? The recruitment agency has a low domain authority and so we've very much at the start of the process. It would be a damn shamn if they produced so much great unique content but couldn't get Google to recognise it. Google's advice says: "Syndicate carefully: If you syndicate your content on other sites, Google will always show the version we think is most appropriate for users in each given search, which may or may not be the version you'd prefer. However, it is helpful to ensure that each site on which your content is syndicated includes a link back to your original article. You can also ask those who use your syndicated material to use the noindex meta tag to prevent search engines from indexing their version of the content." - But none of that can happen. Those big job websites just won't do it. A previous post here didn't get a sufficient answer. I'm starting to think there isn't an answer, other than having more authority than the websites we're syndicating to. Which isn't going to happen any time soon! Any thoughts?

How to reverse declining Google rankings?
We have a long established business since 2004 and have been fortunate that having been one of the original companies in our industry, we have always enjoyed strong Google rankings. Unfortunately, these have been steadily declining over the past couple of years and a comparison of August to date against the equivalent period last year has seen a 20% drop in traffic from Google. We don't believe that it is being caused by a penalty and rather is the result of some strong players entering our market and tightening their focus which has caused us to take a dip in rankings. We are guilty of being complacent in our SEO - largely due to not knowing what to do and being scared to touch it when it was working in case we broke it! - but now it's time to fight back. We still have a strong site, good traffic levels and a strong product offering. We have knowledge of SEO and resources in house, but are not experts by any means. Our current plan is to: perform a technical site audit, fixing the issues highlighted by the Moz Pro Software put strong emphasis on our blog, writing daily about the latest news and events in our industry provide weekly content articles which are more in depth than the daily blog articles and which will be of interest to our community undertake surveys and publish infographics and statistics with the hope of being picked up in national newspapers Are there any key elements that we are missing out in this plan, or is that it in a nutshell? Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

My site is always in the top 4 on google, and sometimes goes to #2\. But the site at #1 is always at #1 .. how can i beat them?
So i'm sure this is a very generic question.. of course everyone wants to be #1. We are an ecommerce web site. We have all sorts of products, user ratings, and are loved by our customers. We sell over 3 million a year. So let me give you some data.. First of all one of the sites that keeps taking the #2 or #3 spot is amazons category for what we sell.. (i'm not sure if I should say who we are here.. as I don't want the #1 spot to realize we are trying to take them over!) Amazon of course has a domain authority of 100. But they never take the #1 spot. The other site that takes the #2 and #3 spot is not even selling anything. Happens to be a technical term's with the same name wikipedia page! (i wish google would figure out people aren't looking for that!) Anyways.. every day we bouce back and forth between #4 and #2.. but #1 never changes.. Here are the stats of us verse #1 from moz: #1: Page Authority: 56.8, Root Domains Linking to page: 158, Domain Authority: 54.6: root domains linking to the root domain 1.42k my site: Page Authority: 60.6, Root domains linking to the page: 562, Domain Authority: 52.8: root domains linking to the root domain: 1.03k So they beat us in domain authority SLIGHTLY and in root domains linking to the root domain. So SEO masters.. what do I do to fix this? Get better backlinks? But how.... I can't just email GQ and ask them to write about us can I? I'm open to all things.. Maybe i'm not using moz data correctly.. We should at least be #2. We get #2 every other day.

Will links to a subdomain help it rank?
I have an affiliate subdomain on a larger company's domain. (For example I have: www.victor.company.com on www.company.com). Would working to attain backlinks to the subdomain help it rank or will I just be putting forth my effort and helping the domain rank?

Will ranking be improved or hurt by changing 1/5 of part numbers to key words
Note: I bold major content for your quick skim for your convenience. Does this help you decide if its a fit for your response? My site has been devastated by the Panda or unknown reasons so I need to think outside the box. I distribute industrial products with average brand recognition. I only have about 5 competitors selling this same brand. My other brand competitors are billion dollar companies that pay a lot for PPC and have sites with 10 times the product offering. Since my brand recognition is not as important as the function.I'm thinking about changing the part numbers to reflect function. This will affect about 1/5of the parts ( about 500 out of 3,000 parts) . My concern is will ranking be hurt or helped by changing these parts with these strong keywords in front of the part for such a high % of the site. The strong keywords cost $10 for a chance at a $200 sale with repeat business. Example: Current part is: 10-10 Black Plastic; which is a Big Red Truck with my brand part # as 10-10 and comes in different colors of plastic. . Keyword is Big Red Truck. I would like to put my manufactures brand in the description. My same brand competitors sell 10,000 parts and my logic is that if I have the brand in 1/5 of my parts ranking would be improved because of the % of brand per the site versus my same brand competitors.. So I would change the part # to : **Brand 10-10-Black Plastic Big Red Truck ** In conversation I would state the part as: Brand: 18 characters, Part #: 8, Material:12, Keyword: 27 If the keyword should be first I could change to: K,B P,M. Which is recommended?
