I have more than 4000 pages but still have a low trafic. Would love to know more to be better ranked ?

My website is a magazine about travel and fashion. But even if i have a lot of pages, I am still low in ranking.
Why ? Thanks for any advice !

I don't want to distract others from possibly giving a better answer then mine.
I will say this, if you're primary target is France then you should build a strong keyword association with what your site says and what you expect your users to find or do. To me (again I can only read the English) I didn't understand what I was suppose to see or do on the site. Was I there because I wanted to see possible spots to visit? Or was I there to book a trip? I don't know.
My experience on the site was I was looking at a French blog spot. There is no call to action (Reserve Hotel, Book A Trip) so the only thing I could see was recommendations. With the translation to English made that hard to want to read.
Again since you are primary working in the France market I would suggest generating the keywords in French, outlining what your goals are for your viewers and implementing a strategy that attracts those types of users/readers. While following the SEO Basics.
After you have established your site in France, then come back and work on the English side of things.

First of all, I am not an english native. So I try to do my best but I sincerely recognise that I do not want to lose time over translation so that is why they are not good as they should probably be.
Maybe It's not perfect but I would love to see your French translations, just to laugh for a minute -
Do you have a list of search terms which you are targeting? You may have 4000 pages of content, but if it isn't targeted enough then you won't rank particularly well.
I'd also echo Donford's comment above that the translation could use some work!
-
My specific region is France. More specifically Toulouse.
-
Also what is your primary target region? France ?
I can find you in Google.fr pretty easily, but Google.com not so much. Some of the English pages could use a little better translation.
If you're targeting 2 countries / languages you should also use specific titles
FR Title Tag: Jet-lag-trip, le magazine lifestyle du voyage: hotels, restaurants
EN Title Tag: Jet-lag-trip, le magazine lifestyle du voyage: hotels, restaurantsThis is an example of a challenge. When you target two languages you need to clearly define the keywords for each language and incorporate them appropriately on every page. It is twice the work, but also twice the potential.
I am sure others will have some input as well. I don't speak French (wish I did).

Of course !

How do I get a UK website to rank in Dubai?
We are trying to get a UK-based children's furniture website to rank in Dubai. We have had a couple of orders from wealthy expats in Dubai and it seems to be the correct target market. Does anyone have any specific knowledge of this area? We are promoting the same website as for the UK market. Also does anyone know any user behaviour stats on expatriates using search engines? Do they carry on using the version of Google they are used to, or do most change to the local version of Google? Thanks in advance

Keyphrase ranking a geo-redirected site in Google
Hi all This is the situation. I have a client who runs a number of ccTLD sites (all exact match brand name domains), including a .com which they use for the US. This is a hair care product and due to Advertising Standards Authority (UK) restrictions, they cannot use a certain phrase to promote their products - 'hair loss' on the domain.co.uk site. However, in the US, there is no such restriction and can use wording this on the site. A brand name search in google.co.uk brings up .co.uk as 1st result and .com as 2nd result, so the .com is indexed in google.co.uk. Any non-US user visiting domain.com will be redirected to their ccTLD site. Here's my question - could I feasibly get the domain.com site ranking in google.co.uk for certain 'hair loss' based keyphrases, considering the fact that I can mention it in the copy on there but not on the domain.co.uk site. Would I need to remove any Geographic Target in the WMT account for domain.com? Or is this a form of Google cloaking and could see the site penalised? Thanks

Do you recommend for registering international domains (IDN) for ranking on words used in domain name?
Hi everybody, thanks for putting time to reply me 🙂 I am working on SEO of a website that its content is in Farsi. I have chosen a few rather competitive keywords (difficulty between 30-40% :thanks to KDT in seomoz!) to target. Due to the importance of keyword in domain name I was thinking about registering a few international domains that contain exactly the same Farsi words that I target. Do you recommend this as a valid approach? For each of these domains, I am going to setup a very simple 1 page site for each domain, a few lines of content and a big button linked to my primary website. How does it sound? Best regards,

Is there a correlation between ranking and different TLD
I've been thinking about buying some domains recently with some different extensions. In particular domains with country specific TLD's such as .in and .be etc.. But my question is has anyone had experience ranking domains like these in the UK market. Is there a correlation between ranking and a country specific domain to rank in the UK market? I know I can target these domains at the UK market in GWMT, but is there a negative factor in trying to rank say a .in the UK?

Does hosting content for one country in another country negatively affect its SEO ranking?
Hi, my content is primarily for Australian audiences, however due to a general lack of competitive hosting infrastructure, I tend to host a lot of content in the US. A 2007 article I read implied that it's not a good idea - does anyone have a definitive 2011 answer? Cheers, Jez

Converting to Joomla - will we lose ranking?
Our Dreamweaver/manually coded website is becoming unwieldy at 100+ pages and is now being translated into four other languages, so clearly we need to move to a CMS. Given that some of us have a little experience with Joomla, that's what we're considering. My question: with Joomla, or probably most other CMSs, I am assuming our url's will change. Surely that will impact our google ranking, plus external links and so on. What can we do about this?
