Page rank check

Hello everyone,
How long should I wait to see if page rank for optimized pages have improved?
cheers

I also am interested in this.
We have recently 'improved' the on page optimisation for the following keyword ''edited'' on the following page:
''edited''
I just checked when the page was last crawled by google by checking the cache date which is the 27th of May 201?.
We have been tracking the keyword ''edited'' with the moz keyword ranking tool for the last little while and we've seen no real improvement, in fact we've dropped back a bit in the SERPs to ''edited''.
does anyone have any advice?
-
Thank you very much guys, and I will keep an eye on the cached page and see when google crawls it again.
Cheers
Oscar

Wait till Google crawls your page again. You will know when this is by checking the date on the cached version of the page, which you can find by doing a search for the URL of the page you are interested in, then clicking on the little green down arrow next to the URL in the search result.

In that case, it certainly can change over night but usually, with a new page or a page with that doesn't get much traffic it can take a month or more. It is often the case that the home page will be re-indexed more often than other, less trafficked pages on your site, so don't expect that when you see one page updated in the results that the other ones are right behind it.

Hello there,
Thanks for your answer. But I think I explained myself badly
sorry about that, my English needs more improvement as my SEO skills.Anyway, what I was talking about position on SERP not page rank. I am changing the title tags making them more relevant for people and also to better describe the content on the pages and that should improve the position on Google SERP but I don't think it changes overnight, does it?
Cheers

Hi Premio,
Typically, your pagerank won't change as a result of on-page SEO. Increases in pagerank are typically due to back links and other offsite factors and changes in PR due to those factors may take many months to impact your tool bar pagerank. But don't focus or Pagerank--focus on creating content and on reaching out to your audience with content that is shareable and helps them make their buying decisions.

On-page SEO
This is a question for the organic SEO experts, once you added the main keyword that you want to rank for in the homepage title, meta title plus meta description, perhaps once or twice in the text on the homepage. How often do you then write it in the content marketing, say blog posts, we want to rank higher on Google for "SEO agencies Cardiff" however if you mention this in the blog posts too much say once a week, this could lead to over optimisation issues?

Does anyone know of a tool where you can get all of the keyword that any given landing page is ranking for?
I'd like to find out what landing pages are ranking for which keywords, but I haven't been able to find a tool that does it. I was hoping there would be something where I could submit the url and get a list of every keyword it is ranking for. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

Is it better to keep a glossary or terms on one page or break it up into multiple pages?
We have a very large glossary of over 1000 industry terms on our site with links to reference material, embedded video, etc. Is it better for SEO purposes to keep this on one page or should we break it up into multiple pages, a different page for each letter for example? Thanks.

Will "internal 301s" have any effect on page rank or the way in which an SE see's our site interlinking?
We've been forced (for scalability) to completely restructure our website in terms of setting out a hierarchy. For example - the old structure : country / city / city area Where we had about 3500 nicely interlinked pages for relevant things like taxis, hotels, apartments etc in that city : We needed to change the structure to be : country / region / area / city / cityarea So as patr of the change we put in place lots of 301s for the permanent movement of pages to the new structure and then we tried to actually change the physical on-page links too. Unfortunately we have left a good 600 or 700 links that point to the old pages, but are picked up by the 301 redirect on page, so we're slowly going through them to ensure the links go to the new location directly (not via the 301). So my question is (sorry for long waffle) : Whilst it must surely be "best practice" for all on-page links to go directly to the 'right' page, are we harming our own interlinking and even 'page rank' by being tardy in working through them manually? Thanks for any help anyone can give.
