Rankings of Amazon Titles When Simply Coyping it

This is a bit strange, as I see plenty of sites copying titles from Amazon and ranking fine for them.

My site however doesn't rank at all for those titles, unless you count position nr.100.

It's not a lack of link juice as my site would be PR3.5 or PR4 by now, and ranks for keywords with ten thousands of exact searches.

Any idea why these borrowed post titles aren't ranking?

Just changed them btw, to short unique versions to see what happens.

But somehow I have the feeling that internal juice gets treated differently by Google these days, compared to a year ago, correct me if wrong. Almost like you have to rank each page specifically instead of that it go's with the flow, right now it's just a hunch though so would like to hear other opinions as well, maybe my relatively short reviews just suck.

    Internal links still work.

    I know page titles do help rank pages, just not sure how Google handles scraped eCommerce page titles. I remember a year or so back one of the Google blogs mentioned they were targeting scraped eCommerce sites, I'm sure they were talking about Amazon since it's huge.

      I think I found some other causes, turns out the pages are real poor optimized for the actual keywords, besides being it present in the title it was hardly, if at all mentioned anywhere in the content itself.

      Quite a difference opposed to the typical writers that I used in the past who heavily keyword stuff the articles lol.

      Thanks for the mention about targeting scraped eCommerce sites, guess that also comes into effect here.

      Adjusted content to represent a 1% density, let's see how that works out, as Google always does need some help. Also increased internal linking and better variation in post/page titles. This should finally lift it to profitable heights.

    I can't take anyone serious when they start mentioning things like keyword density.

      Yes cause you build pages with 1 word on it, in other words 100% keyword density lol

      Guess Google uses some separate rules for that.

    One cannot simply articulate fact without testing.

    All you can do is test it.

    And if it's page 100 of the SERPS then that was a flop.

    Try again.

    Things change all the time

    Personally I wouldn't use full Amazon title or same title as anyone else. I just don't see the point in your site ranking beside someone else with exact same title.

    There's nothing differentiating you, if you do rank.
