Hi There
we are trying to get http://www.stainless-steel-fabricators.net/ on to page 1 in the UK for keyword 'stainless steel fabricators'. according to reports most of the top 10 websites hardly have any back links or any basic optimisation (title tag, met description). our pages have A grade optimisation and loads of linking domains. stuck as to know what else to do
anyone help?

Hey Jonathan thanks for your speedy response. I will get on with the ironing. Thanks so much!

Also, if you look at your link profile a lot of your links have that exact match anchor text "stainless steel fabricators"; in fact 176 out of your 270 links have it. I do see that that is the name of the company, but perhaps Google might think that is unnatural linking.

Hi Bob,
There could be many factors as to why the website is not ranking for that keyword. However, I can give you a few pointers that may help:
- Remove capitalisation of meta title (far too spammy)
- Create more engaging onpage content, with keyword variations mentioned throughout.
- Meta description is far too long (Currently 211 characters, should be a max of 155)
- Many of your backlinks are from non relevant poor quality websites.
- Page load speeds are poor due to amount of images
- You have two H1 tags (The images is being counted)
I would look to get some of these issues ironed out to see if this would make any improvement.

Hi, i have a page here http://www.in2town.co.uk/trip-advisor/african-safari-is-a-dream-holiday-destination and i am trying to have a comment section through facebook on there, and although i have got it on, i think i have done something wrong as i can manage or delete the comments. i have read the instructions but not managing to follow them. i have tried going into the developers section but that just gives me the option of website apps on facebook mobile apps now i have tried going into these but there is no code or anything, so i am not sure what i am doing wrong. the way i have done it is, by just using a joomla module as i work in joomla 1.5 but where it says Facebook comments application ID i have just put my webpage details in there. the module i am using is

Meta Tag Description Warning is wrong. Description is indexed and shows.
My crawl report shows that there are 22 Meta Tag Descriptions missing. I double checked on Google and it shows the meta descriptions just fine. What's wrong with the report or am I missing something?

Wrong page ranking even after fixes. Why?
Howdy, I've read a number of posts on this issue and followed all the advice I could find. My issue is this: several of our targeted keywords have the wrong page ranking which results in a loss of conversion and high bounce rate. I use the site:mydomain.com operator to see how the pages are ranking which I find really useful. One of our targeted keywords is 'wedding stationery' and the page which should rank is shop.confetti.co.uk/branch/wedding-stationery however this page ranks 3rd on our domain. I've done the following: Optimised the correct page De-optimised the ranking pages Added links from the incorrectly ranking page to the page I want to rank using keyword anchor text Added internal links to the page I want to rank from high Page Authority pages using keyword anchor text Here is a link to the SERP which shows the ranking for our domain for the 'wedding stationery' search term. I made the changes a couple of weeks ago. Any advice or explanations as to what is causing this would be greatly received. Thanks in advance, Brendan.

Is this keyword strategy totally wrong?
I have a Driving School website www.1stclassdriving.co.uk. The site is structured geographically with one page per Area
Technical SEO | | Brian_Worger
(post code) and one page per Driving Instructor. There are links from each Area page to the instructors
working in the Area. The principal search keyword that I want to optimise on is
"Driving Lessons" The thinking was to target each individual Area page for
"Driving lessons in xxx" where xxx is the particular geographic area
and each particular Instructor to "Driving Lessons in yyy" where yyy
is the main town . The ideal would be that a search on "Driving
Lessons" would pick up the root page - search on an area, say "Driving
Lessons in Croydon" would pick up the Croydon area page and a search on a
town, say "Driving lessons in Mitcham" would pick up the Instructor
that covered that town page. However having read Rebeccas Keyword research guide I am
concerned that this strategy is wrong because of the volume of pages that use
"Driving Lessons in xxxx". Does this fall foul of "Keyword cannibalization" ?
and if so what is the best way of being able to achieve our objective?0 -
