Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Rasmus, There is a mod for SMF (Simple Machine Forum) that allow you to tag a topic, then use those tags to produce the related posts (http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=579 ), maybe you can work it out in your forum.

Thanks Mat for your reply. Why do you think the markup is horrible?

Yes, its google.dk that we are targeting. Links always helps and for sure we are working on that. Its just that this particular page is ranking so far beyond the others are they don't really have more links pointing to them.

It is unusual to endorse one of the shortest answers on the page, but Axel is to-the-point and, IMO, correct in this case. You don't want to paginate too heavily because that creates more clicks to get to all of your products. In fact, Google even recommends using a View All canonical page if it doesn't affect performance (load time) too much. The first link anchor is what counts so I respectfully disagree with dittoeffect, unless you were to link to the image on the product page from the image on the category page using a Named Anchor hashtag (could be a good thing to test). You don't want a bunch of iframes on your category page either. Keep it simple. You run an honest eCommerce site, not an uber-competitive affiliate website where you have to put links into a redirect script that goes through a directory that's blocked in the robots.txt file, etc... Make the alt text and link text the same unless you are testing the named anchor link idea mentioned above. And as Alan Gray said, test. These are all just opinions based on experience until you test.

Just tested the site using a tool and the keyword represents 70% of all internal links - sounds a lot?

Good point, Marcin. I'm not using those mods as it seems Google indexes my pages fine. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks a lot Marcin. This totally confirmed what I was thinking and I appreciate the source links.

Assuming this domain move is a recent re-direct from your .co.uk to your .com, and a website previously existed separately on the .co.uk, did you just blanket redirect, or does each page point to its equivalent? If it was just a blanket redir, you may be leaking link juice. Also, to confirm, you're stating that the .com's previous DA was 44, then when you redirected the .co.uk to it it dropped? Or are you saying the .co.uk was 44, then when you moved to the .com it is only 33 now? With regards to on-page reports, how are you attempting to pull this data? Just in the campaign tool, or are you using the on-page report card tool manually? If your page does not rank top-50 for a keyword, it will not have an automatically produced on-page report for that keyword in the campaign tool. To recieve reports for non-ranking pages/keywords, you will need to pull them manually using the report card grader under Research Tools.

Well tks for the aswers guys. I reach to the conclusion that those tags are not a huge important factor for SEO. I will remove them since I have no porpuses for them in my website Tks for the help guys

Mike, I think I almost got the jest of your reply post, but let me make sure. I'll make some assumptions out loud and you tell me if I'm reading the tea leaves correctly, if you don't mind, that is, please. The site you mention, e.g. blogrolling.com etc., I take it those are sites that a ping service would notify about my newly submitted url to the ping service? Regarding the 'keeping track' comments, I take it you mean that I could manually go to each of these sites and submit my site, but the ping services does that for me, and to many sites from my one submission to them? As you can tell, ping services are new to me and like Socialdude who started this post, I am trying to understand it. Especially three aspects: 1. How and why do ping services work, and 2. What is their incentive to exist and do all this work for us for free? So they can advertise to us? 3. I own the site www.Grossinternational.com and I put new pages and blogs up on the site often so I am trying to understand if I should ping every new page and post, which I think I should, and second, should I ping them just the once and let it go or re-ping those pages? It seems to me that I should only do it once, but when I see ping services offering to ping my site weekly or daily even, then I start doubting my understanding again. My latest blog tonight is at http://grossinternational.com/penny-auction-strategy/ and I just pinged it. Now, should I do that again in a week? And if so, why and how often? Thanks for your help and time, and with me especially, thanks for your patience. Kurt Gross, Knoxville, TN USA P.S. One other question, i.e. I pinged this page with this post on it. Isn't that a good idea, or not?

Shara, I would approach the changes like this: For your better selling products and products you want to sell better (think about that last one in terms of what makes you the most money, is easiest to fulfill, least headaches, etc.). Work on those first. If you have something that is really moving, be careful and slowly implement the changes. As to what needs to change, I think you need to approach it from not changing each page as much as seeing what can be done to the site. It is a Drupal site as I recall and there are ways to work with it. Best

Thank you!

BTW... great blog!

IMO, those links in the footer do not help with rankings in Google. This is exactly what the "first link counts" anchor text test is about http://www.seomoz.org/blog/results-of-google-experimentation-only-the-first-anchor-text-counts You almost certainly are already linking to those pages higher up in the HTML, and Google is counting those anchors, and probably discounting the ones in the footer.

Thank you algri. I wouldn't do that. I think I did something like that a long time ago, but "natural" is a much better thing to do now. That is what google might call "doing something for the search engines," rather than "doing something for your readers." If your page is really about that keyword, then I believe you would be better off getting that keyword into your page headline, which would be in the H1. What you are doing is manipulating the power of the H1 to achieve your SEO goal, whereas you should be doing it for your reader, but structuring it so it works for the search engine as well. I would change what you have.

Nice to know this.  I have had the same issue arise out of nowehre about week maybe two back.  It took awhile but I found the same htaccess quick fix but it seems as if it was an seomoz alogorithim change up.  Robot Roger works his butt off in the basment or so seomoz tells me he  must have found some free time to switch up the campaign errors alogorithim.

I think Alan already gave an answer to this. Moving content to commercial site will make it stronger at the cost of weakening non-commercial site. If you are planning to focus all your effort on commercial site, it sounds like a good ideas. On other hand if your non-commercial website is important to you as well you might one to reconsider it. Kind regards Bojan
