My Blog Post Not Appearing In Top - Covered every aspect of the topic
-
Hello Moz Team, hope everyone is doing well,
I have question regarding mine blog post recently that I published:
https://mobilemall.pk/blog/definition-of-cuboid-surface-area-volume-basic-properties/
My target keywords in this post are Cuboid Definition, Cuboid Surface Area, Cuboid Volume.
I have considered and applied every good SEO practice, like H Tags, gave links to authority sites, featured image, other images, etc
but my post is still not appearing in top 3, 5 or even 10
I have covered each and every aspect of the topic,
Can anyone let me know what's the reason and any suggestion for me.
Thanks!

The main reason is the competitiveness of the keywords you are optimizing your post for. This words seem to be competitive and you have powerful competitors and a rather new website can't compete with strong websites that are running and optimizing their content for some special keywords and have thousands of backlinks. You should consider that on-page SEO is only a part ( in some cases if you opt for high competitive keywords, a very small part) of SEO and another factor for search engines to rank is off-page SEO and it depends on the number and quality of your backlinks, your domain age, domain authority and etc.

Hey @joeysolicitor!
Thanks for reaching out, I'm sure others may have additional ideas and thoughts, but here are some of my ideas.
-
I would consider the keywords you are targeting. It's possible that these keywords are of higher difficulty because of larger mathematical players like Wolfram, Math,net, Wikipedia and others. You may want to consider identifying some less difficult, high volume keywords to go after to increase site visibility.

I'm also seeing a number of interesting SERP features in your keyword searches, it might be worth investigating how you could optimize the images in your post, or add a video to diversify your ranking potential!
Let me know if you try any of these ideas!

Old Blogs
We have several blogs on our site for a range of products we no longer stock. Would you set up a redirect for these - and how long would you keep it in place?

Should I split long form content?
I have quite a long content on my site. By length I mean around 8000-9000 words. I optimized it to cover almost all searches related to a topic. But this length makes me uneasy for some reason. I do not think that users will find what they are looking for in such a long content. However, I don't want to neglect the SEO aspect of the content. I can talk about something like this without sharing the keywords completely: Title + for girls Title + for boys Title + for kids Title + for girlfriend Title + for boyfriend Title + for students As I said, in the current situation, these are all sub-headings (H2) of 8000-9000-word content. When I make a separate content for each of them, I can bring them all closer to 1500-2000 words. However, I am undecided whether this is the right step in terms of SEO and content optimization. What are your views?

When to re-write and redirect a blog url?
What are best practices for rewriting (and then redirecting) blog URLs? I refresh old blog posts on our blog every month and many of them have URLs that are too long or could be improved. However, many of them also already get decent organic traffic and I don't want to lose traffic due to a URL redirect. Are there any best practices or "rules" I can follow when deciding whether to re-write and redirect blog URLs?

How to make a bad posting drop down the search engines
we have had a competitor who has been stealing a lot of content from us and now they have used seo tactics to write a bad article about one of our sites that they have been taking content from, and what we would like to do is to use seo techniques to drop their article down the rankings. We are consulting a solicitor to take action against them as we are fed up of the content being stolen and the other techniques they are using, can anyone give me ideas on the best way to drop this post down the rankings. I was thinking about articles and press releases and blog posts to get higher up in the rankings and do a lot of these to drop their article down the rankings. Our solicitor has already taken action against them in the past and that cost us a fortune and it looks like we are going to have to spend a fortune again, so any help on using seo techniques to drop their article down the rankings would be great.

Correction Duplicate Page Title Problems for a Blog
EDITED: To just focus on the issue at hand. I am trying to figure out the SEO rules instead of just working on the content. Please bear with me. I am adept technically. I just do not know the rules of the SEO process or even some of the termology. So I’m trying to attack problems one at time. Today’s problem – **Duplicate Page Titles ** We evidently have thousands of Duplicate Page Titles. We are using Joomla 2.5 & Easyblog. Our sitemap is automated from XML Sitemap Easyblog takes the title of the sites and uses it for a name of the summary pages. We post 5 blog items per page and all the names are the same. http://www.OursiteName.com/?start=5 Page Title = Site Name http://www.OursiteName.com/?start=10 Page Title = Site Name A similar thing happens on the sorting by Author or Category etc etc. Basically non-duplicate pages are looking like duplicates. What is the best practice / approach? Using the Robot.txt or XML Sitemap to tell Google not to crawl these pages? Writing a script or edit the Easyblog code to edit the 2000 duplicate Page Titles? Other thoughts?
