Hi, I am looking to get our shower pumps page in to the top 5 for results in Google UK. We are already in the top 5 in MSN and Yahoo but Google seems a bit harder for the search term "shower pumps" Any suggestions?
target that kws on that particular location... post local directories or maybe find some of your local competitors to get some idea...
The keywords "shower pumps" appear in your meta Title, Keywords and Description tags. The Keywords are repeated 12 times, the keyword density is approx 6.08. Backlinks from related sites to this page http://www.bellabathrooms.co.uk/shower_pumps.html utilising the correct anchor text will help you. Nice site BTW, good work on the url re-writes.
You have no PageRank so before you can go much higher you'll need to gain some backlinks from some relevant sites. Best bet would be to get links from plumbers, plumbing supply shops, contractors, construction related sites etc.
I would advise you to modify the desription on the shower pumps page http://www.bellabathrooms.co.uk/shower_pumps.html Your description is currently: This is far too long, in my opinion it should be much shorter, 3 sentances max. You also need to remove all <h1> <p> and <br> tags from the description
Promote and promote your site if you want to improve your SERP position. Double your work on building links...
I also would like to add, that you optimize related keywords. Google has modified their crawlers to also do LSI- Latent Semantic Indexing. You could use tools like https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal Good luck!
<title>Shower Pumps</title> To <title>Shower Pumps - 1.5 bar to 4 bar shower pumps</title> Change View pumps by bar rating to View shower pumps by bar rating Siu00s is also right, take all the HTML out of your description. Send some deep links to the page, try a featured listing in index-it.net
Siu00s and SunDevil I know what you are saying, our shopping cart automatically produces the descriptions from content, so this is out of our control...arrrr...its a bad shopping cart...wish we had the cash to change it!!!!!! But Im trying my best with what we have for now. Thanks for your help.
Hi Michael: I know you are a sleeping dog on this subject so I'll mention it to you. Theme Relevant Indexing? Seems to be a new buzz on an ancient form of site building "silos" From what I am learning keyword stuffing is out. Well themed/ structured sites, expert articles and staying well clear of Co-occurrence matrix are proving success. Once upon a time keywords told a story to Ses now themes do, with clever internal linking. Any words of wisdom from you on this? Cheers, H PS: LSI has been used since 2004 by Google after acquiring Applied Symantecs in 2003.
Not so much a sleeping dog more of wide awake dog with major in maths OK that's a good place to start. Applied Semantics (not Symantecs) was purchased by Google for its semantic text processing and online advertising expertise derived from its patented "Conceptual Information Retrieval and Communication Architecture" (CIRCA) technology. A key application of the CIRCA technology was Applied Semantics' AdSense product which then became Google AdSense. There are two patents covering CIRCA technology "Meaning-based advertising and document relevance determination" and "Meaning-based information organization and retrieval". Although very interesting in their own right neither of them have anything whatsoever to do with LSI. - Michael
I knew you'd have some major input here "Semantics" thanks...spelling is not my best subject . I get the feeling from you that you do not think LSI is being used or that the term LSI is being misrepresented. Am I right? If so can you elaborate? If not, please describe your feelings around why sites are ranking the way they are now? Always value your views Ruff, Ruff H
You are right. No search engine is currently using LSI and yes, more often than not the term LSI is misused. I don't think it is possible to talk about 'sites' in general, it depends on the specific site and the search term. For example take Hersheys ranking 4 out of 124 million for chocolate without a single word of text on the page. To conclude that page text in general is unimportant would be wrong although it clearly is unimportant for Hersheys and the search term chocolate. - Michael
This is true. In the Hershey's example you are entering a term that infers you want information on chocolate so Google says OK our friends at wiki would be the best to rank #1. Then I enter "best chocolate" and Google won't make that determination, they tell you to find out for yourself by reading a chocolate review article. How bout eat chocolate or even chocolate makers. The only way to get the authorities using query keyword variations is to ask for it by name Hershey's Chocolate How they arrange their keyword maps relative to SERPS is anyone's best guess...only Google knows. LSI, LSA, co-occurence matrix, SVD/LSI however/ whatever experts want to call it I am sure that it is being used and misrepresented by those that are not in the know. Not to say I am an expert but I have done a fair bit of research on this. Gathered enough supporting evidence to suggest to me that there is a new way Google is processing SERPS. A way in which they know that Hershey's Chocolate is Hershey's chocolate without the term existing anywhere on the page. H
