  Elrey Resultan: Hi, It's been 2 months that I've optimizing hotel pages in my site (wwwDOTphilbookingDOTcom) by providing content in the <h1>, <title> headings, footer, body etc., What I did is just typing and typing any relevant things of each hotel and put it in their pages.
  
  Now, 2 months I've use my time for on-page optimization. Still, NO IMPROVEMENT. ;
  
  No traffic, No Inquiries and No Booking.

  Rushi Pandya: Hi +Elrey Resultan. off-site SEO is just as important as the on-site, if not more. Concentrate on the technical side of SEO. Just off the cuff the robots.txt file is blocking ; many important elements of your website. You can check this by going here ( http://www.philbooking.com/robots.txt ). ; Google certainly does not like this. Go to Google Search Console, Fetch and render as google and here you will see all the blocked resources. Should you have any further queries, drop me message.

  Elrey Resultan: +Rushi Pandya ; Thanks for the great reply, about the robots.txt of the site, I've checked each of the sub-folders included on it. I don't really know if some of it are one of the important elements of it because when I manage the site, the robot.txt arguments are there. I just modify it with adding Disallow on dynamic parameters to prevent of indexing dynamic URLs.
  
  I've removed the Disallow: /css/ and /js/ because my GWT got a message that the js and css are being block.
  
  About off-site, the site has many social media accounts and are active with postings. In my side, what I only did is put a content that contains keywords on it. Then, when I am done doing it on each hotel page, I've use the fetch as google us manually index each pages. But, usually it is stuck between 3rd to 5th page and sometimes after a day it is on the 100th++ position in Google.
  
  I am afraid of checking my Google Analytics because it only show a 99.9% of bounce rate and no returning visitors.
  
  PS: This hotel page wwwDOTphilbookingDOTcom/hotels/philippines/palawan/soteras-mansion
  
  I've used the search term "sotera's mansion" in Google Philippines since it is the hotel name.
  
  It only ranked in the 3rd page, then after a day it will rank over 100th++ position.

  Jan Stüber: Look at ;https://www.google.de/#newwindow=1&q=site:philbooking.com: There are so many Sites like http://www.philbooking.com/home (DC) or ;http://www.philbooking.com/hotels/philippines/pangasinan1 destroying everything. First make sure the Index is clean... than go on with onpage seo.
• 
  Elrey Resultan: Thanks for the reply +Jan Stüber, may I ask what's in wwwDOTphilbookingDOTcom/home? and the others. My apology, I just started SEO 2 months ago.
• 
  Jan Stüber: /home is duplicate content, cause it shows your startpage. solution could be 301 redirect
• 
  Rushi Pandya: This issue can be resolved by performing either 301 or deleting one of the file from the file directory.
• 
  kavinesh A: 301 redirection is the best chioce
• 
  Elrey Resultan: +Jan Stüber, +Rushi Pandya ;, +kavinesh A ; Thank you sirs, I'll do the 301 redirect as possible.
• 
  Suresh Kumar: Structured Data Marking also  ;helps you in your technical SEO.
• 
  Elrey Resultan: +Suresh Kumar ;Yes sir, I'm planning to put rich snippets on each page,  ;maybe i will put the Reviews snippets but the problem is no traffics coming in. So, no visitor will comments their review.
• 
  Rushi Pandya: +Elrey Resultan ; Investigate bit more and see if your website is hit by any of google's penalty.
