Thanks Jack.

I’ve take that on board and made some changes take a look now.
http://www.spaandpampering.com/massage-guide.html Still needs a bit more work.

I’m trying to be the one-stop shop for all spa offers online in the UK. Any advice?

I’m thinking you’d have a much better time getting ranked for the right kind of traffic if you geo-targeted instead of trying to rank for the general massage types. You are in the UK, so “Swedish Massage UK” and related keywords would be easier to rank for and get you the traffic you need – which is people coming to your spa from nearby. After that, its links links links coming in to the page with specific anchor text for the words you want to rank for.

Would be even better if you made a page for each type of massage – thereby isolating that one phrase you want to rank for for each type of massage. Right now your density is shared with the other keywords you want to rank for and it makes it harder for Google to decide where to place you – not impossible – but harder. Each on its own page would be better with good links coming in to each as well.

Hi Jack,

Thought you might want to know I did follow your advice and made the massage pages.

I’ve had my site for about 5-6 months now and although it had a growing amount of traffic it has dropped off totally over the last month or so. I know my site is very commercial which could be a problem so I’ve started a blog.

Is it usual to take this long to rank for keywords?

Could I be leaking rank through my affiliate links?

Any advice welcome

Cheers
Nikesh

The article was very informative and I hope that I will get such good article in future also. I often read your articles and will also read in future.

Absolutely! The only reason the example was for Nikesh’s stuff is because he asked. But this works in any niche where there’s video to be had on YouTube or that you’ve created yourself.

Hi Jack:

That’s great info, is it safe to assume that the principles applied to Nikesh’s Spa, would also be applicable to other business too?

Thank you.

Nikesh – absolutely! That would be a perfect campaign to try out and see what happens. I am betting it nets you a lot more traffic.

The only change I would make is this: Make your main page of the top 10 massages, but only as an index with some teaser text next to a small picture. Name of massage, text on why it is so popular (just 100 words or less), and a link (make the name of the massage the link to that massage style page) to a separate page for EACH type so you can optimize each type of massage by itself.

People looking for info on a particular kind will be more likely to land on a search result you’ve gained by isolating each massage style on a separate page while visitors to your main site can check out your link to the top 10 page that links to all of them.
