Why does Tripadvisor rank higher than my official hotel website?
-
We have an official hotel website under our brand hawaiihotels.com called www.RoyalLahaina.com. It is a resort in Hawaii. However, Trip Advisor comes before our official website but it doesnt do this for the other websites. Could anyone tell me why this is happening?
It is ranking higher for royal lahaina resort
-
If you search for royal kona resort It comes up. that is because it is optimized for the term. For a start look at the titles and and domain names it is obviouce that one is going rank higher then the other

Thanks Alan!
The sites are http://www.royallahaina.com/ and the keyword that trip advisor ranks higher for is Royal Lahaina Resort. We want to know why on the other hotel www.royalkona.com it doesn't take the same effect?

Google attempts to give top rankings the best and the most relevant. The "official website" means nothing.

Without knowing the sites, I would assume it has higher authority than your site. Why does this happen with this site and not others, not all thinks are equal. This is not an unusual event. There could of cause be some problem with your site, where you don’t have the same problem with your other sites.
But the way, for me you come up above trip adviser, when I try, both Bing and Google, US and AU

Rankings drastically changing
I monitor our positions for a few keywords but they are very unstable. One day they will be at position 1, 2 or 3 and then all of a sudden not even on Google. We use an IP redirect to guide users to the correct site and I suspect this may be a cause. Could anybody shed some light? Thanks

Tags and Categories Ranking
Hello A few times I have come across tags and categories ranking for some relevant search terms. This seems strange as all category and tag pages would have 0 external links back to them - whereas pretty much every other page on the site would have external links. In most cases thy seem to rank along with the page, for example: for the search term "voiceover recording xxxxx" The voice over recording page will rank, followed by a similar tag page... If I make the tag links 'nofollow' would that help stop this? Cheers

SEO transfer to new website
My website currently has some strong SEO and i will be re-developing the website on a wordpress platform...which will change many of the existing URL. Will this affect the current pages that are well indexed in Google? Does using Wordpress or changing the URL extension (.html to .php) make a difference? If i want to make a clean transition without effecting our existing SEO...what are some essential steps i need to take? Example. Current page is www.mydomain.com/name.html .... and the new URL would be www.mydomain.com/product/name.php Thanks

My site dropped in serp and backlinks ranked higher than it.
appliance-repair-ny.com I recently got some new good page rank backlinks (4-5) to my site. After a nice increase in rankings i left it for a couple of day (holiday) when i came back i found out that my rankings dropped dramatically for many different keywords when in some cases the backlinks are listed higher than me for the keyword. Any suggestions? should i keep on building links in the same paste, or slow down a little? UPDATE: I now noticed that the seomoz app has a warning that my homepage is missing title tag and meta tag. I'm using wordpress and headspace plugin. I recently updated wordpress.
