Skip to main content

I understand low quality links or low content, but 0 links 0 content 0 context beating very high quality sites?

One of my ecommerce stores is now ranked at number 5 for the main keyword. It doesn't usually bother me, ranks fluctuate up and down as always, but the problem is that this is the scenario now for a week.

Rank 5:

  • 10 years on front page
  • 300 high quality, very accurate and related backlinks from different referring domains
  • Blog informational articles ranking 1-3 mostly
  • Active social media
  • No manual actions, no spam, no warnings
  • 24/7 support and 99 score optimized on Google PageSpeed metrics
  • Link exactly to the keyword product

Rank 4:

  • 1 year old site
  • Very much literally 0 backlinks
  • No social media
  • No support, very basic website
  • None of the blog content is related to the product
  • Link is to a " /job/ application page" not a product that's being searched for

What's going on?

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
