Hi all, We are running a news paper website and it is accessible on www.muscatdaily.com . This website is running for almost 2 years now. Website rank is still too low and it is 4 or 5 ,even after lot of search engine optimization. We have done following * we have put proper title tags,meta description, meta keyword tags in all the pages. (website is having more than 22000 pages right now.) * Created sitemap and submitted to google * Proper urls with rich keywords. * Minimal content duplication. * more than 250 back links * H1,H2,H3,H4 tags used effectively * HTML is optimized by W3C with minimal errors. * Not using any paid exchange link Do we miss something in SEO or probably there could be some content duplication penalty causing this? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciable.
What optimization you did till now? As you have news paper website so you should keep your mind on social media optimization and marketing mostly.Right now you need to generate lot of traffic.As per my experience, you must start now ppc for your good keywords. Nowadays google strictly follow reputation and brand. skype- bhaskardas143

Our website root and Home page shows same content www.muscatdaily.com www.muscatdaily.com/Home shows same content. We have added the canonical tag today only. Our website home page and website root is could be considered as seperated urls by search engine?. Is this could be the reason? Any suggestions
Website rank depends on alot of thing, however from the top I can tell you that if you are going after high competitive keywords, its going to take more than 2 years. Anyway, what are the keywords that you are targeting. I want to take a look at these and than will be able to use a tool to look into this further for you.
I take it your main keyword is "Breaking news from Oman". If that is the case then you are currently ranked 2nd and 3rd for international search results, the only site above yours is the UK Telegraph, which (not impossible) would be quite hard to move ahead of. Don't focus too much on SEO but provide more opportunities for your readers to share your content via social platforms, social signals would be your best bet to pushing up that SERP rank.
I noticed that you didn't mention how much content you have. Most people these days seem to be living in the past when it comes to SEO. Content and social signals are what drive your rank. If you have a ton of rich content, and and some well placed tags. You will be fine if you do a massive social signal blast. Use video, Yahoo pipes, Facebook, Twitter and your autoresponder to blast for you. This is simple stuff and I have 6 number one ranking Posts not even websites. These are posts in from a site that does reviews all the time. We rank high and this works better than any of the other junk I have seen out there.
We are targeting keywords such as Oman News, News Oman, Oman newspaper But our position in google results as follows Oman News - 5 News Oman - 5 Oman newspaper - 7 We are trying to get a rank within first 2 for all the above keywords. Also we would like to get google webpage rank from 5 to 7. muscatdaily.com is a dialy news paper website, and we are uploading 40 to 60 stories on daily basis. and right now website has more than 22000 pages.
It is good to know that you are uploading 40 to 60 stories on daily basis. Google like new content. You website, having page rank 5. Nice..But you did not put any Facebook, Twitter or any other social networking medium for your newspaper promotion..You have to create brand pages in all social media platform and share your all content in this networking sites.
I think first of all you create a unique and value able content and next going search engine optimization techniques if you making a good page rank i think this is simple you taking profile links and high page rank official forum news related and promote our site social media site for example facebook, twitter, linkedin and promote the content with the help for link wheel and get traffic and good worth in google search engine i hope next updates your page rank good updates
