Why is my site not ranking?
-
Could you please help me understand what is wrong with this site:
It simply isn't ranking after about 3 years and I am not so sure what I can do to improve it.

You may have over optimized for the word certificates on the home page. You should look at the top competitors on the first page of the SERPS and use keyword density tools to see if you are over optimized. You currently have at least 56 instances of the word certificates on the home page. You need to compare to that to the overall word ratio.

Hi
Your website is indexed for about 140 pages - try this in the Google search bar: site:www.award-certificates.com
Are you a Pro member? If not then I suggest sign up for free trial and check the reporting for issues.
If you search for Badminton Certificates in Google you appear on the first page.
Decide on your keywords and track their ranking position. It maybe some of your keywords have very little demand so your search traffic will be small no matter how good you are.
You dont mention what you have done so far for SEO, so it maybe wise to buy a book on SEO or look at some of the useful reports on this website and start ticking off what you have / have not done.
Best of luck

Do these items affect Google ranking or Quality Score?
Hi community, After my first crawl of a site that I'm working to improve the SEO on, I find that I have about 500 issues regarding missing Alt Text and Title text for images on my site, as well as about 175 issues with regard to duplicate meta description, missing meta descriptions, and too short/too long meta descriptions. My client is not sure it matters to fix these items and only wants to do so if they have an affect on Google ranking or Quality Score. Does anyone know? Thanks!

Site Not Ranking for Key Term
Question for my fellow Mozers I have a ranking question that I cannot put my finger on. I have a site (visitplano.com) where the client wants to rank for the keyword "Plano". I can't say if the site was previously ranking for this keyword, but I looked into the basic SEO practices and found that the keyword is incorporated in: Domain Title Content There is a lack of internal linking and anchor text within the content External links - 1,558 DA - 46 PA - 55 Currently, the website does not rank for the keyword "Plano". Could someone shed some light on why they aren't ranking or what I may be missing? I would greatly appreciate your help.

Finished On Page optimization and slipping in rankings
Just finished on page optimization for a client that was on page 2 for the keyword. Went from an on page score of D to an A. But we are still slipping down the rankings. We were towards to top of page 2 now we are towards the bottom. Is there a time that it takes to change or does the on page not really make a big impact?

On site optimization - anchor text in body text
Hi I am learning SEO from scratch and am only a couple of weeks in. My wife has just started a website selling children clothes. In the left bar there are links to the different producers. Clicking it takes you to the products from that producer. In the body text om the main page ( epleskrinet.no) the same producers are mentioned. By time i need to opitmize for all of these. Is there any point in making them anchor text - taking them to the same URL as is given in the side bar ? Or will it get discounted ? Dan Laerum
