We updated some pages to try to improve our site.
We kept the same URLs and changed the page title and meta description to target specific key words.
Our page authority has dropped to 1.
This is one of the pages
http://www.fashionably-yours.com.au/wedding-dresses/
What have we done wrong?
-
Ha, site: got me there eventually.
-
Wayback machine told me the wedding-dresses existed before, but the menu made me think it could be, that wedding_dresses was the url before. You are right Matt.

You know - it's hard enough to diagnose SEO issues when we have all the information. It's ten times harder when we don't.
**"We kept the same URLs" is not accurate, is it? **
No, no it's not.
http://www.fashionably-yours.com.au/wedding_dresses/
This has a PA of 15 and /wedding-dresses/ has a PA of 0. Your 301 hasn't kicked in to Moz yet. It's a new URL ...
-
Sorry my bad. I really shouldn't reply to questions at 2am. The below page is really good to show you how PA and DA is worked out.
-
Waybackmachine says it is really the same url... hmmm. I don't know the answer, I don't know how PA is calculated
but I wanted to say: the menu is to long for me, the last item (new arrivals) is in a new row and not readable (white text on pretty white back) - in Google Chrome & Firefox - thats nothing what could help at your problem, but I think you should take a look at it. -
He's talking about Page Autority not PageRank I guess.

What do you do with indexed pages that you can't find any keywords for?
You know those pages that you really need to have for your site that most people get to through the nav bar or maybe internal linking, but never through organic search? The ones where you can't find any applicable keywords with volume or even just a keyword with no volume data that just shows up in the Google autocomplete or People Also Search For. What's the better option? just not optimize the page for any keywords at all, but have Title Tag/Meta Description optimized for CTR just in case OR optimize the page for a very loosely applicable keyword even though it's a a bit of stretch or longshot

Sudden keyword rankings drop
Hi, My latest MOZ report has indicated there has been a significant drop in ranking for 65 keywords, some by as much as 30 places. This is not something I have experienced before and seems very drastic. Is there a reasonable explanation or fix for this? Thanks for any advice!

How to optimize home page for several keywords
My issue is this. I'm getting a lot of "F" grades for certain keywords to my homepage using MOZ. the thing is I can't add to many keywords to title tag without going over 65 characters. It seems the title tag is most important and even though i have keywords in content and everything else, without title tag keyword its useless. can creating more than one title tag help or will that make things worse with search engines?

Separate Page for each Keyword - doesn't it sound to be a dead tactic?
Hi everyone, I wonder what you think about a strategy of creating new separate pages for each targeted keyword? Option 1. Something like this: website.com/keyword-1
Keyword Research | | seocentury
website.com/keyword-2
...
website.com/keyword-100 I think it is better to have all the keywords grouped and target pages for the groups instead of individual keywords. Option 2. Something like this: website.com/group-1
website.com/group-2
...
website.com/group-7 What is the option you would choose? Thanks & Regards.0 -
For an e-commerce page with more than 2,000 products, how should I conduct my initial keyword research?
Hi all, A confused and frustrated SEO noob needing a little guidance here 😞 I'm a bit lost on how I should conduct my keyword research for a start-up e-commerce site selling dietary supplements (~200 brands and ~2000 SKU's). From my understanding, there are two different types of pages I have to optimize for other than the Homepage & CMS pages: Category pages and product pages. As part of the fundamental on-page optimization, I'm planning to write unique category/product descriptions for better visibility (as well as to avoid duplicate content issues) on SE. Consequently, this process has prompted several questions related to my keyword research. My questions are: How would I determine which keywords to optimize for? How many keywords should I target per product page? per category page? Should I include product / brand name as keywords? The site isn't live yet, but is set to launch in mid-August. Any ideas on how I can conduct my keyword research to be used for category/product level pages? Thanks all.

How To Optimize Similar Product Pages
I found some really good resources on here regarding how to optimize for product pages, however I have one question. We carry about 20 different products lines. EX: Cold Saws, Band Saws, Press Brakes etc. For the cold saws product line we have Manual Cold Saws and Automatic Cold Saws. Same for Band Saws. Since the products are very similar and people are technically only search for manual cold saws, manual coldsaws, manual cold saw machines etc. Each product line has between 10 and 50 machines. How do we optimize each product page for 1 keyword phrase.? Can I have about 5 manual cold saw pages target the same keyword phrase or does each page have to be targeting completely different key phrases? like, manual coldsaws, manual cold saws, affordable manual coldsaws, etc.
