Can anyone tell me where my site can be improved
-
My website is www.theradiatorgallery.com
I have been trying to get on 1st page for designer radiators. I am currently ranked 21st just dropped to the 3rd page within the past hour, i was 20th before this. There are some sites that i would think i would rank better than due do i have better on page optimization, higher PA, DA and PR based on seo moz reports. Is there something wrong with my site that i am missing?
the sites i feel i should rank better than are; radsnrails.co.uk, warmrooms.co.uk and a couple others
Any help would be great!
Thanks Guys

Ryan Kent has a much better answer than I regarding keyword cannibalization on this Q&A thread http://www.seomoz.org/q/dilution-of-link-juice. You might read that and see if that helps explain things a bit more for you.

thanks for the advice, I'm trying to work out how i can change this all my external links point to the homepage with the anchor text designer radiators but all my internal point to the category page "designer radiators". I have a link from the designer radiators cat pointing to the homepage. Would i be better off pointing the links to the homepage or cat and if i were to point the links to the homepage would it matter that i have a link in my menu bar with the anchor text designer radiators?
thanks again

Your home page links to http://www.theradiatorgallery.com/designer-radiators.html with the anchor text designer radiators, and that page links to the home page with the anchor text designer radiators. Others can give more information, but I think you need to pick one page that you want to be the focus for designer radiators and focus on that, and not send conflicting signals to the search engines with this type of circular linking.

I see you as Number One out here in Australia.
-
yeah he's definitely on the right site, that is really strange that it shows as result number 2. Fingers crossed he's got the latest rankings and all the other data centers will soon follow
-
thank you very much for your time and advice.
-
Strange...I see the site at #21. Are you sure you were looking at www.theradiatorgallery.com?
-
I would advise you to remove all no follow tags unless the links are for paid for.
Some ideas on links to remove: In the drop down for designer radiators - product manufacturer does not need to expand into many more links - cascading drop downs are generally frowned on anyways. The links in the footer are duplicate to the header - consider condensing the footer links.
-
thanks for the advice Dan, i'm going to take a look at the keyword difficulty tool now
-
wow number 2, i wish! you think i should remove all no follows even on the faq pages etc? How can i reduce the number of links on the homepage, i don't feel i have any that couldn't be there. I am going to change the H1 tag straight away.
Thanks for the advice

I see your site as number two in the Google rankings for designer radiators, so not sure why you're seeing it in number 21. Try logging in as a different user.
Some suggestions: Get rid of all your nofollow tags on all the links - page sculpting does not work in that fashion anymore. Also, you maybe overlinking on the home page, thereby greatly reducing the page juice of the home page - the nofollow tags do not stop your page juice from being diluted.
Only Desiger Radiators should be in the H1 tag. I would not put the following in a H1 tag.
<h1>Welcome to the Radiator Gallery...h1>

Hi
It appears as if many of the links in your menu are nofollowed at the anchor tag level. That was the first thing I noticed after looking real quick. I don't know that this would have to do with your question, but since its quite important I thought I'd point it out!
To really dig in, I would suggest running a full report with the keyword difficulty tool and have a look at all the metrics. (You can add your URL if not showing in the top 10) That would be a good place to start!

thank you for taking some time to have a quick look for me, would you suggest to start linking for other terms that would bring in sales such as "vertical radiators" or start linking for phrases including designer radiators. I'm trying to get as high for designer radiators as possible as quickly as possible.
To make easier for anyone else to input there opinion i have 82 followed links with the anchor text designer radiators and 2 or less links for any other search term. -
This is just a guess, but I'm wondering if you've overdone it a bit on the anchor text for your link building? At a quick glance, the vast majority of your links are linked with the anchor text "designer radiators". It doesn't look natural.
I'm interested in seeing what others say though.

Can't get my site recognised for keyword
My site prettycool.co.uk and primary we sell fascinators, the problem is I can't get the word fascinators to be listed by Google. We are on the 1st page for most colours ie. pink fascinators, blue fascinators etc. but for the term fascinators even if we fetch we are listed for a couple of hours and then disappear. I've checked for keyword stuffing but our site sell fascinators and we need to have this word in our site and other sites have a lot more references to the term and are listed on the 1st or 2nd pages. We used to be listed on page 1 for many years but the last 2 or 3 years dropped back to page 4 but now nothing. Any help or suggestions would be fantastic!

Can anyone confirm they have predictable rating shifts based on the day of the week?
Hey all, The site in question is https://amygalbraith.com The keyword I am trying to rank for (among others) is 'Seattle Wedding Photographer'. I have seen a truly strange pattern emerge. Each Monday in the past two weeks, this site has been ranked in the top 20, usually around 11-14. Come Tuesday, it will drop completely out of the top 50, usually around page 7-8. Does anyone know of anything that might account for that kind of erratic shift in placement? We aren't making any changes to the site: no a/b testing or anything is occurring at the moment. I'm baffled. It could be a fluke. You can bet I will be trying to get screenshots this coming Monday.

Can someone tell me how in the heck this site is ranking?
Just saw a huge update on the Serps for "SEO Company" and "Seo Firm " and this site has tons of big Google no's no's going to it. www.seospecialists.co it has links coming from Porn and Gambling sites. It is heavily over optimized for both keywords. I won't cry the sky is falling[SEO is broke] but I am curious to know why Google thinks they are worthy to rank that high.

Basically the site is a news site as well as covering showbiz news, travel news, health news and advice etc What i would like is for people to look at the site and let me know what they feel i should do to improve the site to make it better for our readers and to gain more readership.

At the moment the site is with an american hosting company and i am in the process of talking to UK hosting companies to move the site. The site is currently on a dedicated server.

Site Purchase and 301
Hello, I just started working with a new client. Since then the client has purchased another company. We have re-branded the new companies home page and 301 redirected the rest of the site's links to the corresponding pages on the holding companies site. Since then the rankings have tanked. I looked at both companies back link profiles and realized that they are quite spammy from the last SEO contractor they hired. That said, the site was ranking fine until last Friday. I was wondering if anyone had seen temporary rankings decrease after 301ing a domain to a different site? Thanks!
