cold case beer
coldcasebeer
We have done quick research on this issue. And, We have decided to implement following tasks to make it happen.But, We are quite excited to read certain inputs on this question from experts!
1. Upload default Robots.txt file
2. Verify website on Google webmaster tools
3. Set up USA region on Google webmaster tools
4. Submit Google crawl request on Google webmaster tools
5. Title tag and Meta description optimization for all pages (There are 5 pages only on website)
6. Audit Google local listing
7. Develop quality links with domain name

Using the right meta title and description is the best practice for on page seo. Since the competition for the keywords are low, you should be able to rank easily for those keywords. All the very best

I am agree with quality link building. And, It may take certain time. I was assuming to Re-Furnish title tag and meta description for all pages. Because, Competition value is very low for both keywords. But, This is really insightful answer for me.

A social media strategy would also benefit rankings.

If i am not wrong then your site must be on top while you search for coldcasebeer.com
But if you are search for terms like "cold case beer" and "coldcasebeer" then you are not in the top. Because "coldcasebeer.com" is the complete domain name which you can easily get on top for. People basically are not searching for "coldcasebeer.com" until and unless they know it is a branded term. Where as "cold case beer" and "coldcasebeer" can still have some search volumes and people may still be searching for these terms on google. These exactly are keywords that you need to rank for. And your domains is an EMD ( Exact match domain ) which means your domain name contains the exact keywords that people are searching for.
In order to rank for these terms you need to create quality backlinks using the these keywords as your anchor text. Don't over do it. You can use closely related terms as well when you are building backlinks. You backlink profile needs to have the right balance between the anchor texts you are using. Create backlinks related to "branded terms" as well.

Google Is Ranking the Wrong Page
Howdy Folks- I have a case where Google is ranking the wrong page for a couple of different keywords. The home page is: http://healthtn.com Most notably, we're trying to optimize the home page for "Tennessee Health Insurance" but the below page is what continually ranks for it, and does so very poorly. We used to be page two with the home page, now we are page four and it ranks the following page. http://healthtn.com/tennessee/health-insurance/student I have started directing our Internal Linking to reflect the correct anchor text but succeeded in losing ranking for the term, but am still ranking the wrong page. Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated!

301 Redirect and SEO Rankings
I recently restructured my webpage URL's (about 300 ~ 75% of my total website) to make the URL paths more SEO friendly. Within a few hours of restructuring the pages, I did a 301 redirect to my old URL's and pointed them to the new pages. I have seen ~ 50% drop in organic traffic. I started the restructuring exercise 14 days ago and finished it a few hours back. I have 3 questions: How long will it take for me to recover my old traffic. Will I recover most of it or some of it? Due to a glitch in the specified path, some old URL's were wrongly redirected (this happened with 9 pages to be exact). I will explain exactly what happened: www.redirct.com/superseonow1 ---- redirected to ---- www.redirectnow.com/seonow1 **/superseonow was 301 redirected to /seonow. After 3 days I realize that /superseonow1 was actually /supernow1. The same thing happened to 9 pages - /superseonow2, /superseonow3 ..... ** I have removed all the wrong redirects. When I tried to enter the correct (old) paths now and 301 redirect them to the new paths, the page was not found using the old paths. Should I redirect the old paths to the New ones even now? 3. Finally, in how much time after you change the page structure should you use the 301 redirect. Since I had two different teams working on this job, there could have been up to a 24 hour gap between the redirection.

Exstinguishing Page Rank?
Hi Guys, Here is a thought. Google gives more weight to links in content, less to navigation etc.. Therefore if they say give 50% of a pages rank to a link within content and 50% to the the other elements. What happens to the total pagerank from a page if you have not utilized in page content links? (is it lost) If this is the case, and you have a site that does not use content links on every page, are you loosing value (and hard earned) pagerank. Google did mention sometime back about pagerank being exstinguished with the nofollow tag. I would be interested to hear what others think? Cheers Scott

Should I Remove This Subdirectory From Google?
On my site, I have a subdirectory. It posts articles from a bunch of websites that my readers are interested in & links back to all of those sites. There is no original content in it. There are over 1700 indexed pages in this subdirectory. The rest of my site has about 500 (all original content). The search engine traffic for this subdirectory only accounts for 3.9% of my sites overall visits. Should I consider removing this subdirectory? Could all the duplicate content be hurting the rankings of my legit pages? What do you all think?
