Help me in finding the answer...

My personal website Tahitian Noni Juice & HIRO beverages by Morinda Tahitian Noni International is not liked by the Google. I have asked some local web designers but no one could tell me the reason if something is wrong with the web site. I do see that site pages are all indexed but not one of them rank for important keywords like noni or noni juice or even tahitian noni juice.

3 years ago Google used to like this site but has completely dumped the site in last 2 years. We have been updating content regularly still no progress in last 6 months.

Is there anything special I need to do to make Google happy? I know I need some more links but that should not make my site not appear not even in first 100 results. I believe site has some kind of penalty but how can I check that?

Have you been buying or selling links?

Harp · #3 (**permalink**) 03-28-2008, 01:41 AM

No. Never. Infact, I have not had a links page on this site for almost 5 years.

Harp, taking a quick look at your code reveals that you have not properly formatted your title, meta description, keywords and you've got all manner of extraneous and redundant code in the head of your document.

This is a little confusing:

HTML Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head id="Head"><title>
	Tahitian Noni Juice & HIRO beverages by Morinda Tahitian Noni International
</title>

The more acceptible (and I'll wager more effective) way to format the html tag would be like so:

HTML Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Tahitian Noni Juice & HIRO beverages</title>

Unless there's some specific reason for it, the company name really doesn't belong in the page title. Again, focus and relevance here is key to gaining successful rankings in the SERPs.

I've formatted the rest of the header so it's more readable:

HTML Code:

<meta id="MetaDescription" name="DESCRIPTION" content="Noni Juice may help you to take control of your life. Noni juice comes from morinda citrifolia fruit. Tahitian Noni International (Previous name Morinda) provides you Original and Authentic TAHITIAN NONI Juice. Research indicates that Noni Juice strengthens the immune system, regulate cell function and regenerate damaged cells." />

<meta id="MetaKeywords" name="KEYWORDS" content="Noni, Noni Juice, TAHITIAN NONI Juice, TAHITIAN NONI Juice, benefits of noni, Tahitian Noni International, Hiro energy, Hiro mobility, Tahitian Noni health benefits, Hiro vitality, Hiro beverages, Morinda, noni fruit, Thahitian noni juice benefits." />
<meta id="MetaCopyright" name="COPYRIGHT" content="Copyright 2006 by Noni" />

<!--- You might as well delete these, they're pretty much useless anyway //-->
<meta id="MetaAuthor" name="AUTHOR" content="NoniJuice" />
<meta name="RESOURCE-TYPE" content="DOCUMENT" /><
meta name="DISTRIBUTION" content="GLOBAL" />
<meta name="REVISIT-AFTER" content="1 DAYS" />
<meta name="RATING" content="GENERAL" /><meta http-equiv="PAGE-ENTER" content="RevealTrans(Duration=0,Transition=1)" />

You use the word "noni" 5 times in your description. That's four times too many.

Your meta description needs to be shorter:

As a rule of thumb, you want it to be about 160 characters and certainly no more than 200 characters. Use the most important words first and make it attractive to a user who may be searching for your products or offerings.

"Tahitian Noni juice from morinda citrifolia fruit strengthens the immune system, regulates cell function and regenerates damaged cells for better health."

The keywords meta tag is useless in terms of Google rankings, however it's a good idea to optimize it for the other SE's.

Uppercase keyword variations are pointless in that the SE's don't care if the keyword is upper or lower case and having both versions. In addition you can use plural instances of a word and still have your bases covered for searches using the word in it's singular form.

I'm seeing at least 9 instances of the word "noni" or some variation thereof. That's eight times too many. You really shouldn't have more than 8 distinct keywords or keyphrases (certainly no more than 20) as the more you add the less relevant each one becomes.

Your meta keywords could be more focused:
"noni, fruit, juices, health, beverages, tahitian, citrifolia, morinda, hiro"

Your page content does not read naturally at all. It's overladen with too many references to "noni, noni and more noni". Consider rewriting it so that it sounds natural when read aloud.

The obfuscated code at the bottom of the page, I'm assuming it's for the interstitial that drops in with the free offer, probably isn't doing much good either. It just bloating your code and making it more difficult to spider the page. You might want to consider using an external javascript link.

Have you logged into your webmaster tools and seen if you had any messages? if not do so
Also check to see if there are any errors with your page

I did not see that you had a sitemap.xml file. Do you have this file and have your submitted it to Google? if so does it contain a "last mod" statement again if so has it been updated? if not then update it. if you do not have one make one and submit it and also submit it to Yahoo as well.

Also looking at the number of backlinks that Google shows you have 8 when all the sites I looked at in the top 10 had about 12 or more. So I would say get a few more that have good anchor text and it should help...As backlink for the most part usually do.

Have you done a keyword density check on your site? Noni was used 73 times and has a density of 9.91. This is to high
Tahitian has a density of 5.56 and juice had 5.02. They should be around 2% for Google but some people do go to 5%. But around 2% is safe
I do not think you will rank for these words as it looks like you have stuffed your page.

Code:

name="DESCRIPTION" content="Noni Juice may help you to take control of your life.
Noni juice comes from morinda citrifolia fruit. Tahitian Noni International
(Previous name Morinda) provides you Original and Authentic TAHITIAN NONI Juice.
Research indicates that Noni Juice strengthens the immune system,
regulate cell function and regenerate damaged cells." />

Looks stuffed and to long

Code:

name="KEYWORDS" content="Noni, Noni Juice, TAHITIAN NONI Juice, TAHITIAN NONI Juice, benefits of noni, Tahitian Noni International, Hiro energy, Hiro mobility, Tahitian Noni health benefits, Hiro vitality, Hiro beverages, Morinda, noni fruit, Thahitian noni juice benefits." />

Also stuffed with the word 'noni'

Code:

name="COPYRIGHT" content="Copyright 2006 by Noni" />

Copyright needs updated and 'by noni' needs removed

Code:

name="RESOURCE-TYPE" content="DOCUMENT" />
name="DISTRIBUTION" content="GLOBAL" />
<meta name="REVISIT-AFTER" content="1 DAYS" />
<meta name="RATING" content="GENERAL" />
<meta id="MetaAuthor" name="AUTHOR" content="NoniJuice" />

all Can also be removed

I'm not stating this will fix your issue but it is where I would start

I have to learn how to type faster

Sorry Dubbya I did not see your post or I would not have repeated what was already stated.

Dubbya · #7 (**permalink**) 03-28-2008, 01:24 PM

No worries mate!

At least we agree on what needs to be done.

Better a second similar opinion than two that that disagree entirely.

Harp · #8 (**permalink**) 04-08-2008, 08:12 PM

Thanks for the replies. I did not know that meta tags are so important.

Keyword Density...never checked before but I am so confused now as I tried many online tools but everyone gives a different results.

Is there any good link for a trustworthy keyword density tool? Which one do you use?

Dont even worry about it. Just write for your visitors.

Add an xml site map for Google.

Harp · #11 (**permalink**) 04-09-2008, 08:11 PM

Thanks for the suggestion but I already have a sitemap on the site and uploaded an XML sitemap for Google. Site is being indexed regularly. But problem is it is not ranking for targetting keywords.

davebarnes · #12 (**permalink**) 04-09-2008, 10:50 PM

On March 27th, you asked for help.
On March 28th, Dubbya told you to fix your meta tags.
It is now 10 days later and you have not.
Why should we continue to offer advice if you won't take the simplest actions?
