Hi i am struggling to rank for the keyword web hosting forums for my website https://www.webhostingforums.com/ i am seeing many others ranking for the keyword even though the site has less competitors and less domain age where am i missing any help is appreciated thanks in advance
If you have a website but don't use social media, it could impact your search engine rankings. A lack of social media activity is another sign that your website might not be as credible as your competitors. Much like backlinks, social media engagement adds to your overall trust factor.
Not enough content. Keywords, backlinks may have some use to rank a website (at least, that's what everyone's saying), but if your forum is not active none of those things will matter.
competitors who have even less content are ranking higher My plus points - Aged domain - exact keyword domain - active forum - bunch of backlinks websitehostingforums(dot)com this website is ranking - has less age - less content - combnation of keyword - just 2 backlinks i am clueless what can be done I am not convinced that it may be the only reason .. will surely try the suggestion i would be happpy if u can point of some exact factor i am missing
I think you should check once your on page and page interlinking in compare of your competitors. Your title is too long and using comma many times like discussion, tutorial, reviews and services .... your competitors only his main keywords. Your title show example of keywords stuffing .... because Tutorial, Reviews, services (these words are not at home page but in your title). You are trying to target all things at home page. While you can use services at different services page. Home page is dedicated for forums and your offer so can use title like that ..... If you want to target all then create a section at home page and fill some keywords related unique and informative texts. You and your competitor .... both forums scripts are also different ...... I think you are using simple forums or any similar ..... Interlinking of your forums is not good like your competitors, they are using xenforo a bit better than other. Increase your forums interlinking. Your home page is very silent only main categories are appearing at top .... I think these should be lie total post ... latest post etc. There can be some more factors .... but for that we have to analyze your website completely .. on page and off page both according to your competitors. Just compare and get position.
Content is king. If it wasn't for the pop up explaining that the site had changed I'd have thought I'd come to a parking page. I clicked a few of your forum categories and there were "no questions" in there. This is what I get on mobile - I would expect that Google would penalise you for having minimal content above the fold. The cache of your site is an under construction page - how long has the site been live? Archive.org hasn't visited recently - have you got something blocking bots? Have you reviewed your business plan? Is there anything you thought you'd be strong at that hasn't panned out? Is there anything you'd planned to do that hasn't happened? I just made the mistake of looking at your source code, I know you didn't ask for a website review, but good grief!
Yeah we changed it very recently and it was live very shortly i will make changes for the above the fold content and do some design changes thank you
Your title doesn't read naturally, and description just repeats the main keyword. It may get flagged for keyword stuffing. Also have you checked for internal duplicate content and keywords?
looking at your backlinks I can see you leave alot "juice" behind by redirecting 302 from www. xxx.xx -> xxx.xx searchenginejournal.com
Another major issue is that you don't have a sitemap. Literally bots will not index your site at all ...
No one can be easily familiar with the Google algorithm due to the in-depth root of in-depth functions. In essence, One simple thing that googles loudly says "We like only that which people like". So, You must be more focused on your quality of content, service, and strategy. Just filter out the quality from your all efforts because that be beneficial nothing everything that you're doing for your website. Other may be technical factors from the end on Onpage SEO. You must consider.
I have been working for SEO Bendigo for a long time and I want to share some useful life hacks for beginners who want to master our skill. Firstly, I want to say a few words about Ahref, it is not available for beginners due to its high price, from budget alternatives I can recommend the CheckTrust service, you should not treat the information received from it as absolutely accurate, but you can get approximate indicators from there.
I have just visited your website but it is not live, I would like to suggest you that first check it, after checking your website I will suggest you my opinion.
That's not uncommon. The OP was struggling in April '20 and didn't necessarily have the vision or courage to see it through. On the other hand they may have had the common sense to see that the effort (time and money) to build the site wasn't going to reap the rewards so they cut their losses.
