My articles are fully optimised to 100% regarding Title, keyword and description. (I know because I put them in a plain html file and tested them with http://www.submitexpress.com/analyzer/) However, the same analyser shows them at 0-10% due to all the crap in my sidebar (archives, social bookmarking links) How do people get around this? They obviously must. Liberal use of NOFOLLOW? How would I do this is Wordpress? What about the new NOFOLLOW rules?
Here's the keywords for my "Moving Beyond Depression" article. Ridiculous huh! Keywords found on page: Keyword - Times Found - Keyword Density. These are the keywords found on the web page. (Search engines are more likely to list this page as a good result for these keywords.) 2009 - 4 - 3.92% log - 4 - 3.92% http - 3 - 2.94% script - 3 - 2.94% gajshost - 2 - 1.96% https - 2 - 1.96% var - 2 - 1.96% wordpress - 2 - 1.96% rss - 2 - 1.96% pagetracker - 2 - 1.96% document - 2 - 1.96% directory - 2 - 1.96% org - 2 - 1.96% blog - 2 - 1.96%
Looks like you have too many links on the sidebar to unrelated pages. You can probably increase length of your article and include the keywords / synonyms some more times.
Having a search bot "ignore" part of a page defeats the purpose. Like, jitendraag said: try to increase the length of your article and repeat the keywords often (but only if it makes sense to do so).
Remove stuff from your side bar and just leave the most important stuff like your ads and some navigation, and just focusing on providing great content so that your bounce rate will be low so you'll be able to hold any ranking you get. Clutter in the side bar is distracting, minimalist is the way to go.
you can use this... though I've not tested it enough to give details.. <!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --> Code (markup):
Thanks. The ads aren't really the problem, it's more my own links. As most people visit my site by coming to an article, removing this stuff is going to mean that they don't have anything to stick around for after they've read it. It looks like the only option though, so I suppose unless anyone has any better ideas....
Ok there is something seriously wrong. I removed the entire sidebar and the SEO efficiency DROPPED to 0%. The article itself, when published in a plain html file with nothing, gets 80-100%. (http://poweressence.com/movingbeyonddepression.html) If anyone can look at my page and tell me what the hell is going wrong I would really really appreciate it. Here's an example url. http://poweressence.com/moving-beyond-depression Note the word "depression" appears 23 times but the analyser at submitexpress thinks the word "http" is the most common!
