The Bing SEO Toolkit

Thanks for your help, I will make it a priority to fix as many as I can each and every day. What tool were you using to find the errors?
You are right that I don't rank well for Calgary condos but the other sites are only marginally better.
-
you are correct, for most errors it would be worse if they were on the more impoartant pages.but the 3,000 leaks is just as imporant no matter where they are, as link juice flows though a site. if you get a link to page B it also helps Page A, You have a leak in B it also affect A.
blogs are most likly place to find errors as they are dynaicly produced, just like a CMS, and they usealy produce messy code
-
I am happy to start working on the issues as well. Now it will take time - a lot of time. But bit by bit, I should make headway. I think most of the issues are blog posts, do you think they have the same weight at the rest of the site?
-
There are more then a few technical issues. over 3,000 link juice leaks i found.
you are doing well as Real Estate is very competitive, but you could do better.
I use this analogy, if a fisherman has holes in his net, he needs to do more fishing then the man who does not. If you have violations in your site you need to do more link building. -
Ok thanks. Yes a few technical errors that I need to work on, other than the scan that is here, would there be more I can do to find more errors? If so where can I find out that info so I can work on those things.
My concern is that this site as well as a couple others that are currently below are working hard to get to the top and I don't want to find myself at the bottom of the page in the next while.
I wasn't overly concerned with Bing, maybe I need to look at it closer. I have been doing a slow clib there, so hope it continues to improve.

What are there keywords?
How do you do for calgary condos?
But you do well for calgary realestate, which is obviously a compeditive keyword
i did a scan on your site and it has a lot of technical problems, so i would not say you have an advantage there.
You do have a keyword domain name, i looked at a few others that have keyword domain and you beat all in rank and trust exept for calgaryrealestate.ca and they dont beat you by much. and they come just behind you.You may have other factors correct that google likes, i also notice you dont do well in Bing
i dont see a lot of suprise here. -
I actually beat them on all keywords so not sure how that goes with the theory. ?
-
Anthony is correct, they may not be optimized for the same keywords, they may beat you on others.
Also Page Rank and Trust are only one factor. No use pointing links at a site that is technicaly flawed, and many if not most sites on the web in my opinion are -
Maybe your link quality is better for the "keyword" you are using...My rookie guess...But, I would look at that including your anchor text from Higher Quality sites..
Just a thought...

Why would a newly created site, have ranked ahead of our site for keyword that we are optimized for?
This newly created site has a DA of 1 and PA of 1, no backlinks, no optimized urls, the keyword they ranked better than us on was listed a total of 6 times on the homepage. Our PA is 29 and DA is 18 for the page that ranks for this keyword. They really copied a few elements of our site but made sure to change a few things, but also list at the bottom of their site 5 keywords that are crucial to our niche industry but they're all linking to the same page. Any ideas? It's an SEO guy running the site, we've watched them toy with adwords trying to be number 1, but not liking the price, so they are here and there with it. Mainly I don't see why they'd rank better for this keyword, we our site have prolly 500% more content that's both of quality and relevance to our customers, in the form of Pdfs, infographics, help sections, and video. Very baffled here, any advice would rock!

Continuous drop in Rankings on Google.uk
I have a Website who was ranked top 6 for most competitive keywords on Google.co.uk but suddenly dropped to page 2 after 21st January 2013 and later back to top 10 position and now dropped to pages 2 to 5, for most terms. I initially thought it was the transition rank causing this fluctuations. The strange thing is, i haven't done anything wrong in terms of back linking efforts. My site is content rich and offers real value to users also, the website PR increased from 3 to 4 recently, my site seomoz rank, PA, DA and Moz trust is higher than top ranked websites above mine. Please any suggestions?? Kindly help.....

Webby Rank Tracker That Works
So now that the Moz's rank tracker is down for maintenance, I'm seeking a new Webby rank tacker that WORKS! I need a platform that: is Online. Updates you daily on your client's ranking progress. Notifies you on critical ranking drops. Please don't offer LA's Rank Tracker as in my opinion it's the worst one.

Determining why an established competitor's rankings have bombed - What's the best way to go about it?
I arrived at work this morning to find my weekly SEOmoz ranking report for a main competitor waiting in my inbox. 90% of the their rankings have tanked in the last day or so by an average of 3 pages - most down from page 1 or 2 where they had been sitting pretty for ages. I'm not in a state of (total) euphoria about this because a) you should be humble enough not to gloat at your enemy's demise, and b) I need to find out what they did wrong so that I don't make the same mistake, too. **What is your first suggested port of call to determine where my (vanquished) foe has gone wrong? How much can I find out? ** I do know one thing - with OSE I can see they've used dodgy blogging services but this, to my mind, would have been jumped upon by Google last year. No? Thanks guys

Ranking keyword VCA
We want to rank higher on the keyword VCA. Our direct competitor VCAnederland ranks one place higher and we want that place. If we look at some statics from the Open site explorer, we score better. PA: VCAdirect = 53 VS competitor = 46 DA: VCAdirect = 43 VS competitor = 39 Total links = VCAdirect = 8415 VS competitor = 3051 External followed links = VCAdirect = 8178 VS competitor = 1059 Linking root domains = VCAdirect = 146 VS competitor = 105 SEOmoz competitive Domain Analysis (gives other numbers) DA: VCAdirect = 44 VS competitor = 40 DMozrank: VCAdirect = 4.30 VS competitor = 4.50 DMozTrust: VCAdirect = 4.00 VS competitor = 4.18 when I analyze the site with the SEOmoz tool. We see this figures: VCAdirect: PA: 53 / MozR: 5.89 / MozT: 5.89 / Tot links 8415 VCAnederland: PA: 46 / MozR: 6.95 / MozT: 6.16 / Tot links 3051 On the on page Report card we score both an A. Where should we focus on to win the position?
