Challenging KW's

Discussion in 'Websites' started by DarrenC, Jun 22, 2004.

    I'm optimising one page for the KW's 'Vacation Rentals' which if you look at Google is quite a challenge for amateur like me :D

    To aid getting the properties listed I set up a sitemap of properties, and have optimised it.

    Vacation Rentals

    To date the page is PR5 but this page is no where to be seen.

    Any idea why the above page is not featuring?

    Darren :)

    p.s. there's no links to that page at the moment with the exception of a link from my homepage.

    Technically you do rank... just at #604. :) My best suggestion would be to simply get more links with your keywords as anchor text.

    From a mathematical standpoint, it's pretty good, that puts you in the top 0.01%. :)

    although it might be a lot more work, you may want to consider it breaking down into a specific page for each location.

    it'd be easier to rank each page up there, instead of going for something so broad.

    Agree with Disgust. I can image the punters might search on vacation rentals turkey. If you have a page for that then it's a lot less challenging keyphrase all of a sudden. Easier to SEO for the broken down phrases and you cover more as well.

    Hope you don't mind if I jump in on your thread since I have a similar problem...

    keyword: vbulletin
    site: vbmechanic.com
    PR: 6
    IBL: 400+ all with the text "vbulletin" in them

    I currently rank Allinanchor: #15 for this one word! However I don't show up in the top 700 of the SERPs. Google only offers the top 700 and then says, show with omitted results?

    Since there are so many forums with vBulletin in the title, I'm not sure what other strategy to use. My more important (money making) keywords are two word phrases where I do quite well, but for the vanity, I'd like to get top-10 for the one word.

    Thanks!

    For one word it's really really hard. Bang in a big H1 tag at the top could help.

    Else just stick with vBulletin skins, vBulletin hacks, vBulletin styles & custom vBulletin templates as your KW's.

    Really hard, but not impossible, right? I have an H1 and all of my IBLs have the keyword in the text. I'm currently #15 AllinAnchor-- it should come some day :) I will try and bring my kwd density up to 5 or 6%.

    The two word phrases are better for me anyway, it's just ego that I want to rank for the one word..

    >>Else just stick with vBulletin skins, vBulletin hacks, vBulletin styles & custom vBulletin templates as your KW's.

    Bingo.. I'm #2/3, #1/2, #18, and #1/2 for those respectively :)
