Some things I have noticed SEO which showed a positive
-
Hi,
Just a few small things I have noticed which has made a difference in ranking, thought I would share, small things but every little helps.
Looks like more content on a page the better the ranking, in a test I have done this is what I found:
page with 0 content - Google page 11
page with 250 content - Google page 5
page with 500 content - Google page 2
page with 1000 content - Google page 1, position 3
Looks like Google might count the words on a page (like you can do in Microsoft word) and then apply a score against it.
Tweets and likes (78) showed a jump from page 1, position 8, to page 1, position 1 (this was the only form of link building and no changes made apart from adding the share plugin).
Kind of makes me think if your starting a new site or page then add 750 - 1000 words of good content (tutorial or whatever) with a social sharing tool and let this run will give you a better chance of ranking when you start to introduce products and services.

Yes that was what I was thinking. Having said that, it is possible to obscure the theme of the page by adding more text also
-
Yeah it was relevant. So you could say relevance played apart but all of them had relevant content at the same quality.
I'm not saying what im saying is fact just the results I got look like it might be a factor, there is quite a large gap between rankings and it goes in order of number of words.
Guess you could say more words more relevant.
-
But was the content relavant to the keywords?
that could explain if it was building relevance, rather that purly number of words
-
Separate domains using same template with unique content straight out of word.
I didn't look into using the same keyword density as I just typed it up and added keyword terms where they looked natural.
I did add 500 words then a week later another 500 words then it jumped so my mistake there but the others had content added once before indexed and that was the result.

Were they randon words or reletive content?
It may be that your page becomes more relevant as you add more content, Matt Cutts suggest you dont need more content to be authoritive.

Magento 1.9 SEO. I have product pages with identical On Page SEO score in the 90's. Some pull up Google page 1 some won't pull up at all. I am searching for the exact title on that page.
I have a website built on Magento 1.9. There are approximately 290,000 part numbers on the site. I am sampling Google SERP results. About 20% of the keywords show up on page 1 position 5 thru 10. 80% don't show up at all. When I do a MOZ page score I get high 80's to 90's. A page score of 89 on one part # may show up on page one, An identical page score on a different part # can't be found on Google. I am searching for the exact part # in the page title. Any thoughts on what may be going on? This seems to me like a Magento SEO issue.
