Why do my Pages Rank So Poorly

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by jdeeze, Sep 4, 2007.

    My pages have tons more quality information, and I always write an article and submit it to article directories, yet my pages never rank. I must be doing something wrong. I have followed the SEO tactics to a T. meta tags, H1 H2 H3 tags, keyword density and they cant rank.

    Is it a blog or a website you are talking about? What keywords are you trying to target. If they are highly competitive keywords, and your site/blog is new, you might have to wait for the pages to get indexed and start showing in rankings. Giving the URL of your website will help give more solid suggestions for improvements for your website rankings.

    What kind of off-page optimisation do you do?

    From your post (although I may be reading it wrong) - you are only writing one article for each site.

    While article submission is certainly one tool in the SEO repetoire - I certainly would not rely on it in its entirety - you would be well-served by broadening your link-building efforts.

    As Rosiee suggested - a url would allow much more targetted feedback.

    What kind of keyword are you targetting ? What kind of competition do you have for that keyword ? How old is your domain in comparison to the rest of the competing sites ? Do you have links pointing to your site with your targetted keyword as anchor text ?

    Is it about cellulite?
    Seriously, the frequency of the word is a little excessive.

    Honestly??

    This is known as keyword spam or stuffing....that will get you a filter by Google.
    <meta name="keywords" content="cellulite, cellulite reduction, remove cellulite, cellulite products, cellulite excercises. ">

    <title> tag has cellulite information so that should be the first keyword in meta keywords and send or third in meta description.

    Style code is onpage, should be in its own css file and called in by single line code.

    Use absolute URLs instead of relative

    <a hr ef="htt p://ww w.ihatecellulite.com/cellulite/"> instead of your method
    (spaces added)

    <h1 align="center">I Hate Cellulite</h1>

    Wrong use of keyword term.

    No use of keyword in alt image text.

    Few anchor links to the site.

    Domain is under a year in registration length, so probably filtered out of results.

    Peace!

    What do you mean by "Use absolute URLs instead of relative"

    To be fair you seem to redirect your non www to your www anyway, but for info

    Absolute URL would be linking to 'purchase' to 'http://www.ihatecellulite.com/purchase/' Instead of relative url being "/purchase/"

    And rankings are more about off page backlinks than on page SEO

    This is but one part of an algorithm of 100+parts.

    Perhaps a bit more insight would help.

    You might as well toss a starving dog a rubber bone....:rolleyes:

    pr is not related with the quality content.

    page rank is only related with the backlinks, not content

    Actually good content helps build great back links which helps build PageRank...:D

    So PR is indeed related to quality content.
