Can anyone tell me where my site can be improved
-
My website is www.theradiatorgallery.com
I have been trying to get on 1st page for designer radiators. I am currently ranked 21st just dropped to the 3rd page within the past hour, i was 20th before this. There are some sites that i would think i would rank better than due do i have better on page optimization, higher PA, DA and PR based on seo moz reports. Is there something wrong with my site that i am missing?
the sites i feel i should rank better than are; radsnrails.co.uk, warmrooms.co.uk and a couple others
Any help would be great!
Thanks Guys

Ryan Kent has a much better answer than I regarding keyword cannibalization on this Q&A thread http://www.seomoz.org/q/dilution-of-link-juice. You might read that and see if that helps explain things a bit more for you.

thanks for the advice, I'm trying to work out how i can change this all my external links point to the homepage with the anchor text designer radiators but all my internal point to the category page "designer radiators". I have a link from the designer radiators cat pointing to the homepage. Would i be better off pointing the links to the homepage or cat and if i were to point the links to the homepage would it matter that i have a link in my menu bar with the anchor text designer radiators?
thanks again

Your home page links to http://www.theradiatorgallery.com/designer-radiators.html with the anchor text designer radiators, and that page links to the home page with the anchor text designer radiators. Others can give more information, but I think you need to pick one page that you want to be the focus for designer radiators and focus on that, and not send conflicting signals to the search engines with this type of circular linking.

I see you as Number One out here in Australia.
-
yeah he's definitely on the right site, that is really strange that it shows as result number 2. Fingers crossed he's got the latest rankings and all the other data centers will soon follow
-
thank you very much for your time and advice.
-
Strange...I see the site at #21. Are you sure you were looking at www.theradiatorgallery.com?
-
I would advise you to remove all no follow tags unless the links are for paid for.
Some ideas on links to remove: In the drop down for designer radiators - product manufacturer does not need to expand into many more links - cascading drop downs are generally frowned on anyways. The links in the footer are duplicate to the header - consider condensing the footer links.
-
thanks for the advice Dan, i'm going to take a look at the keyword difficulty tool now
-
wow number 2, i wish! you think i should remove all no follows even on the faq pages etc? How can i reduce the number of links on the homepage, i don't feel i have any that couldn't be there. I am going to change the H1 tag straight away.
Thanks for the advice

I see your site as number two in the Google rankings for designer radiators, so not sure why you're seeing it in number 21. Try logging in as a different user.
Some suggestions: Get rid of all your nofollow tags on all the links - page sculpting does not work in that fashion anymore. Also, you maybe overlinking on the home page, thereby greatly reducing the page juice of the home page - the nofollow tags do not stop your page juice from being diluted.
Only Desiger Radiators should be in the H1 tag. I would not put the following in a H1 tag.
<h1>Welcome to the Radiator Gallery...h1>

Hi
It appears as if many of the links in your menu are nofollowed at the anchor tag level. That was the first thing I noticed after looking real quick. I don't know that this would have to do with your question, but since its quite important I thought I'd point it out!
To really dig in, I would suggest running a full report with the keyword difficulty tool and have a look at all the metrics. (You can add your URL if not showing in the top 10) That would be a good place to start!

thank you for taking some time to have a quick look for me, would you suggest to start linking for other terms that would bring in sales such as "vertical radiators" or start linking for phrases including designer radiators. I'm trying to get as high for designer radiators as possible as quickly as possible.
To make easier for anyone else to input there opinion i have 82 followed links with the anchor text designer radiators and 2 or less links for any other search term. -
This is just a guess, but I'm wondering if you've overdone it a bit on the anchor text for your link building? At a quick glance, the vast majority of your links are linked with the anchor text "designer radiators". It doesn't look natural.
I'm interested in seeing what others say though.

Site address change: new site isn't showing up in Google, old site is gone.
We just transitioned mccacompanies.com to confluentstrategies.com. The problem is that when I search for the old name, the old website doesn't come up anymore to redirect people to the new site. On the local card, Google has even taken off the website altogether. (I'm currently still trying to gain access to manage the business listing) When I search for confluent strategies, the website doesn't come up at all. But if I use the site: operator, it is in the index. Basically, my client has effectively disappeared off the face of the Google. (In doing other name changes, this has never happened to me before) What can I do?

IP: 208.68.0.72 We have recently fixed a number of 302 redirects, but the number of links actually seems to be increasing. Is this something I should ignore / disavow / fix using a redirect?0 -

Can someone tell me how in the heck this site is ranking?
Just saw a huge update on the Serps for "SEO Company" and "Seo Firm " and this site has tons of big Google no's no's going to it. www.seospecialists.co it has links coming from Porn and Gambling sites. It is heavily over optimized for both keywords. I won't cry the sky is falling[SEO is broke] but I am curious to know why Google thinks they are worthy to rank that high.

Can you have a /sitemap.xml and /sitemap.html on the same site?
Thanks in advance for any responses; we really appreciate the expertise of the SEOmoz community! My question: Since the file extensions are different, can a site have both a /sitemap.xml and /sitemap.html both siting at the root domain? For example, we've already put the html sitemap in place here: https://www.pioneermilitaryloans.com/sitemap Now, we're considering adding an XML sitemap. I know standard practice is to load it at the root (www.example.com/sitemap.xml), but am wondering if this will cause conflicts. I've been unable to find this topic addressed anywhere, or any real-life examples of sites currently doing this. What do you think?

Used SEOMOZ top 100 Directories, my site ranking lowered, what can we do to fix this?
We have made a big mistake.... So what can we do to fix this? A trainee member of staff has used the seomoz 100 top directories and added to sites from PR10 to PR6 approx about 25 sites, using keywords were possible instead of using the website URL "which i now was stupid!. Our website ranking have been lowered big time for all keywords used!, eg from 1st to 10th and even disappeared from the top 100 We are contacting all directories asking for the Title link to be changed to the URL instead of a keyword.. Will this help? I understand that Google give sites a penalty for this!!, but what can i do to put this right and how long would this penalty last for? Any advice would be highly appreciated... Thanks Dean

Adding Google +1 To My Site
This may seem like a silly question, but I had my site designed by a third party and I don't know how to find this info. I want to add Google +1 button to my site. I've already added the script that makes it work in my , but don't know how to add the to the part of my site I'd like the icon to appear. If you take a look at my site, http://www.youdrivethesuccess.com/, you will see the twitter and facebook icons that follow you around the site in the top right of the page. I'd like to drop in the +1 right next to them, but I don't know how to get to it. How do I access this on the server? What section of my FTP do these lil icons live? A folder? Any direction is greatly appreciated...thanks.
