Hi Carrol, As Robert has put so well...if it were only that easy:) Seeing rankings go up and then down for new pages (or newly optimized ones) is a pretty common phenomenon, with their freshness giving them a little boost that then dies away.Remember, your SEO will never be a set-and-forget effort. Now that you've done your first work and are seeing confirmation of doing this well by your A+ rating in our tools, take a little moment to celebrate how much you've accomplished and then get ready for your next steps. These may include, but won't be limited to:- Studying your analytics over the coming months to see how users are interacting with your site. This may lead to improvement you can make in both SEO and human usability. How people use your site affects your rankings.- Creating your ongoing content strategy. You may be blogging, creating whitepapers, infographics or other cool stuff to begin to draw steady, valuable, traffic to your site. Having a lively site affects your rankings.- Analyzing your competitors. While the age of your site vs. that of competitors isn't something you can control, you can learn a lot from what your competitors are doing and then figure out how to do it better. Remember, no search engine ranking exists in a vacuum. All the while you are struggling to get to the top, your competitors are doing the same, but if you can make a stronger effort than others who are being neglectful, you can hope to surpass them.- Creating your social media strategy. Find out where your customers are and then figure out how you can participate in and add value to the places they hang out most.- On-going linkbuilding. In competitive markets, this may be a never-ending task.While the effects of some SEO can be seen pretty quickly (within hours or a few days), most efforts are going to take some time to really settle in. A week is definitely not long enough to judge how Google will ultimately respond to the efforts you have made so far, but that's okay, because your efforts are just beginning. Being #18 isn't a bad place to start with a newly optimized website if you are in a competitive market, Carrol, but it does indicate that there will be work ahead of you. By making a steady, consistent effort to continue to grow and improve in as many areas as you can, you will be continuously feeding the bots data that says, "I'm here, I'm active and I'm doing everything I can to be a great resource for visitors." Hang in there. Don't be nervous. Expect this to take time and you'll be approaching the game with the right attitude. Sincerely wishing you good luck!

Thanks for the details. All of the above competitiors are 4-8 old ages domain and i am only have an 3 years old domain. No they are not using EMD.
I also checked in Seomoz rank tracker right now it is showing the rank was 10th position but after 2-3 time refresh the rank it went back to down #18 or so... And in morning sometimes it is showing #6 position and than same went down to hill.

Carrol,
Oh if it were that easy. Being at A+ for the on page is a good start as that, typically, will put you ahead of a lot of competitors. There are a lot of factors that go into who ranks where on page one for example. If after one week you are "stuck" in positions 15 to 20 you are likely on the right track.
Now, you need to look at the other factors that affect what is going on. What types of links do the sites above you have? How does the quality of your content compare to theirs? How long have their domains been established? Do they have exact match domains? Etc.
In SEO, I like to say we strive to be at 100% while understanding that is unattainable. Therefore, we are going to get as close to that as works for the client and the needs of the site. So, what you have to do is understand that there are other factors you must look at. Here is a great infographic from SearchEngineLand with a table of all the factors.
Look through these and you will find bits of knowledge that will assist you. Then, I would suggest that first you go about finding who is linking to your best competitors for the term and see how you can get some links from them. I would also track the traffic coming to the page and see if the CTR is reasonable, are people spending time on the page/site, etc. Every little bit of help will move you closer to your goals.
I hope this makes you feel a bit better about the good work you have already done.

Domain Change -- Drop in Rank
So I had a client that recently decided to change their URL to make it more "searchable"/shorter. Since doing so, I have noticed a significant drop in rankings for a number of the keyword terms we were previously ranking for. Is there a way to push the links to the new URL or is the only solution to revert back to the old URL?

My Website Ranking is terribly drop
So sorry I really need your all help 😞 I'm really frustrated and stressed. For my website http://www.cma-academy.edu.sg , it has been ranking on Google 1st page (with the keywords "design course/design courses") for the past over 6 months and the traffic was really good... But it has been almost 2 months since the big drop... my ranking all is gone in just a week and now it's even not on the top 50.. While my competitors websites are stand stil. 😞 I seriously really want to cry because of this.. And I'm sure there is nothing much wrong with my SEO to be abandoned by Google like this and Google still index my webpage, but the crawling rate is so much slow than before.. I really need some help from the expert, especially from seomoz.. Please help me in this, I'm willing to answer any questions as well...

Geotargeting by IP and SEO
Hi, Part of our site displays localized results based on the user's IP (we get the zipcode based on IP). For example a user in NY would get a list of NY based stores, while a user in CA would get a list of CA based stores. So if CA Googlebot comes to our site, it will get results based on Mountain View CA. Given the pages are generated based on your zip, I'm not sure how we'd indicate to Google that we have results for lots of locations and not just the Googlebot IP locations. (users can change their zipcode, but by default we use geolocation). Our landing pages contain localized content and unique urls with the zipcode etc, but it isn't clear how Google will find results for KY etc.

New Forum: SEO considerations.
We're going to add a new forum to our website. We don't anticipate very large volumes of users. I read somewhere in The Art of SEO that forums should be 'built in bbPress'. I'm very much a programming novice so I'm still trying to get to grip with the basics of forums. I'd be grateful to know the main SEO considerations (however basic) that I should tell my web developer who is building the new forum.

Entry based content and SEO
My E-commerce team is implementing functionality that allows us to display different content based on what channel and even what keyword the customers used to reach our page. This is of course a move that we believe will strengthen our conversion rates, but how will this effect our organic search listings? Do you guys have any examples of how this could affect us, and are there any technology pitfalls that we absolutely need to know about?

Domain Forwarding and SEO
I have looked around and only saw older and contradicting responses to this question but what effect does having a domain with VALUABLE-KEYWORD.com forward to MAINSITE.com or COMMON-MISSPELLING.com forward to MAINSITE.com in terms of SEO and is it considered spammy or looked down upon
