Why is this site 1st in Google??
-
Hello
The site www.woodensigns.net is 1st in google for the keyword "wooden Signs".
All seo indicators are poor except keyword in url; wich, i thought, was not a + for google anymore.
Could someone help me to understand here?
Thank you
Emmanuel

I ran it through the keyword difficulty tool and it appears it's a very low competition keyword. The site has a PA of 25 and a DA of 15, so I wouldn't be surprised that the keyword in the domain alone is the cause. The .com also ranks #6 and it has nearly no content which makes me believe this is also the case for this domain as well.
Matt Cutts said they would be "turning the dial down" on exact match domains, not necessarily getting rid of it as a metric. It is still a pretty powerful ranking signal, just not as much as a few years ago.
If you're trying to rank for this keyword just make sure your website design looks great and has plenty of good content, this alone should get you up there with them. Then just follow that up basic link building, nothing serious.

Hi
The domain is not first for wooden signs, in fact i cannot find it however Google will rank a site higher if the domain has a connection to the keyword or phrase, but there are factors to consider, most sites will rank first place for there domain name although when it comes to more competitive keywords or phrases then other ranking factors come in to play, also if a site is new Google will often rank the site higher for a short time.

New site pages are indexed but not ranking for anything
I just built this site for a client http://primedraftarchitecture.com. It went live 3 weeks ago and the pages are getting indexed as per Webmaster Tools. But I'm not seeing it rank for anything. We're adding blog articles regularly and used Moz Local for local links and have been building links in other local directories (probably about 15 so far). Usually I get some rankings, although very low, after just a week or two for new sites. Does anyone see anything glaring that may be causing a problem?

Blogposts and Google Rankings
I'm pretty new to all of this, my new website is starting to come along nicely in the SERPs, now appear on page 4 for my main key phrases were I didn't appear last week at all. I'm now on a mission to get myself ranked higher but my website is pretty much done... apart from the ongoing blogposts that I need to add, I'm a wedding photographer so every shoot is going on to it. My question, my blogposts aren't necessarily targeting my main key phrase, it might be mentioned once or twice but ultimately it'll most likely be the venue that steals the targeting. By adding the blogposts (I still have 36 to do) and using my keyphrase sparing, will this help to elevate me from page 4 in google? I know that I still need to build backlinks etc to but just something I can't seem to find an answer for on google hehe.

I've just manually edited all the page titles and meta descriptions on a site, when will this show in Google results?
I've just manually edited all of the page titles, meta descriptions and optimised the copy on a client's site. I submitted this for a new crawl on Google via Webmaster Tools but when I do a Google search the old versions are still showing. Will it still take a few weeks for the new versions to show even though Google has crawled it via Webmaster?

Duplicate Content from on Competitor's site?
I've recently discovered large blocks of content on a competitors site that has been copy and pasted from a client's site. From what I know, this will only hurt the competitor and not my client since my guy was the original. Is this true? Is there any risk to my client? Should we take action? Dino

Google Indexing
Hi, We recently launched a new version of our site on the Magento platform. I submitted a new sitemap and on the first crawl only 7 pages out of 132 were indexed...a few days later and we now have 107 indexed (phew). My question is this....how on earth do i find out which pages are indexed and more importantly not indexed? For all i know they might be really important ones so I need to be able to identify the missing pages so i can work on getting them indexed. Nic

Is Google Places appropriate for an ecommerce site and blogs
I'm working with a client that has an ecommerce site. He has e physical addresses where they work, however, neither would want customers to go to their office. Is it inappropriate to create a Google Places listing in this situation? I'm working with another client who runs a blog for his PR agency. Is it OK to create a Google Places listing for a blog? He would welcome people to visit his agency.
