          After reading the Post by ZOOMPF http://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/blog/improving-search-rank-by-optimizing-your-time-to-first-byte I was wondering if any of you have optimized your TTFB and noticed improvements in rankings.  Have you optimized and not noticed any differences?

            The best post/information I came across was what Geoff has written here: http://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/blog/site-speed-are-you-fast-does-it-matter

            Under How important is Site Speed? In two words summary of Google and Matt Cutts reply is that its a factor, but a very small factor of the many factors involved in rankings.

            I am also interested in this question as much as you are, but in my efforts I haven't seen a noticeable change in rankings just solely related to speed, this includes TTFB and other speed improvements.

            Having said that. TTFB and overall speed optimization is important in conversions on your site and ultimately in providing better user experience, which is always really important.

            This leads to another question that you can ask, did improving TTFB improve conversions, or lower bounce rate, etc? This also is a great question, that I am curious in as well.  From my end I did not have a client that was that worried, or had a horrable TTFB that I could measure and notice a difference, but very interested if someone had this effect

            Hope this helps

              Ranking Expectations and Search Intent Alignment

              keyword ranking search intent

              I've recently implemented the page optimization recommendations provided by Moz Pro to help our site rank for specific keywords on certain pages. It’s been about two weeks since we've added these URLs/keyword parings. The optimization scores for the targeted keywords and URLs are looking strong. Also, we've crafted these pages with keyword optimisation in mind. However, we have a couple of questions as we move forward: Ranking Expectations: Since our optimization scores are good, when might we start seeing improvements in our keyword rankings? We know that SEO results can take time, but we would appreciate any insights on a typical timeline based on your experiences. Optimization and Search Intent: While the tool’s optimization suggestions have been helpful in regards to giving us a score for a specific keyword, we’re curious about how this factors into search intent. How does this tool take into account variations in search intent, especially if users search using slight variations of the keywords we’re targeting? Thank you so much for your insight!

              I have lost search SEO ranking for 4-6 core keywords while removing www from domain switch.
              Referring domain: https://cashforscrapcarsydney.com.au/ Earlier the domain was in the format: https://www.cashforscrapcarsydney.com.au/ But when I checked the search result, search engines had not yet crawled to the new format. Let me know if the server change or any algorithm hit might cause it. Also please share the feedback on - does removing www from the domain losses keyword ranking. Helpful replies are needed.

              Ranking dropped after change single page url, should I change it back?

              I was making updates to the content on the following page, and a few days later dropped from #2 SERP ranking to 50+. Things I checked: Yes, 301 redirect was implemented right away. After publishing, I manually requested indexing in search console. Right after publishing I re-submitted the  sitemap manually and Google said they had not crawled it in 9 days. My question: should I change the URL back to the old one, or give it a little more time (especially since I re-submitted sitemap) Original URL: https://www.travelinsurancereview.net/plans/travel-medical/ New URL: https://www.travelinsurancereview.net/plans/travel-medical-insurance/

              How can a page rank for keywords that it does not have on it?

              I have a client that is ranking in the top 10 for several keywords on their homepage. Their site has no purposeful SEO in it, there is barely any text on the homepage at all and none of the text are the keywords it is ranking for.

              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!

              Does RSS Feed help to rank better in Google?

              Hello, I heard RSS Feed helps in ranking. However, I am not sure if I should enable RSS Feed or not. Whenever I publish an article on my site , I see that many other websites have leeched my Feed and get's the same article I written published with a nofollow backlink to my website article. The worst part is that my article doesn't appear in Google search, but the website which copied my article gets ranked in Google. Although the article gets index on google (checked by using site:website.com). Although some articles show up after 24 hours by ranking higher from the sites which copied my article. Any idea what should I do? Thank you

              Does CTR Affect Ranking & Authority? Can PPC Influence That Too?

              Hi everyone, Good CTR and bounce rate seem to affect rankings positively, but what about domain authority? Is that something built entirely on links and semantics, or does CTR play a factor too? Consider a homepage ranking for its brand name. Switching off any brand PPC will increase the natural listing's CTR. Would that have a positive SEO impact on the homepage/domain?

              Do images on a CDN affect my Google Ranking?

              I have recently switched my images to a CDN (MaxCDN) and all of the images within my post are now get loaded directly from the CDN. Will this affect my Google ranking? Do Google care if the image is hosted physicaly on the domain?
