Hi SEOkitten. I had some specific questions concerning the SEO of particular articles here on Biblicalapedia. So I have estimated that the highest ranking page of Biblicalapedia is the "Joseph (Old Testament) " article. For the search term "Joseph Old Testament" it ranks on the top page on all 3 major search engines, Google, Yahoo and Bing (Google its #2, Bing is #4, and Yahoo #2). I was wondering firstly if my estimation was correct and what are some of the other high-ranking pages.

Side jump real quick- A difficult thing is that there are many other bible websites on the internet, more than there are for a lot of other topics. Overtime I think our articles can achieve high rankings as we are aiming for much more in depth content many sites, but this will take time. A tricky thing is to rank higher than other sites but not be a "competitor" (you probably can't help with this much, but a struggle in ministries such as churches that everybody wants to be the best, because its our human nature). Our only true compettitor is Wikipedia (SEO nightmare to fight them) as since they have a "Neutral" point of view it dismisses most Christians as we as Christians cannot be neutral. Furthermore those who are not Christians cannot understand the Bible  (they probably don't understand this!). Therefore much of the content on Wikipedia is not neutral and is biased against the Bible and often misintreprets the Bible. At spirit of our mission Wikipedia is probably our largest rival, and Wikipedia's Bible content is probably one of the things that provokes me most (in a good way not a wrathful way).

I am wondering how is this page such a high-ranking one? A few weeks ago it had almost zero links (which is amazing for the rank it had on SEO, now it does have links). I have also noticed the search for "Joseph" rather than "Joseph Old Testament" has more searches. How can I ensure that the Joseph Old Testament article is associated with the data object Joseph- that is what Google recognizes as Joseph the patriarch (not Jesus's father). I have also decided since many refer to the two "major josephs" of the Bible as plainly "Joseph" (patriarch) and "Saint Joseph" (Jesus's father) I have put the display name for the first as "Joseph". Does this affect or improve the SEO in anyway?

Finally, to verify my predictions does a majority of Biblicalapedia traffic come from within Wikia itself? If not where does it come from?

I want to say thank you for the time you have spent in fulfilling these requests and determining my best ranking articles and where the traffic comes from. Even though its apart of your job you are still helping us in building our ministry that will impact people beyond Earth life. If you need me to email you all of these requests to keep it private and fit with your schedule give me a contact and I will be happy to do so.

Thanks,
