Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You're doing it right, you don't want to target the internal page for just "liverpool" Remember though, anchor texts on links still count as content on a page so don't over do it by having 50 links on the home page with "dog training xxx" "dog training yyy" "dog training "zzz" of that main page will look keywords stuffed. Use extreme moderation, it's better to have less instances of the main keyword than too many. Remember to use synonyms to "dog obedience schools in liverpool" for example, based on keyword research.

I used it to generate the report for 40000+ pages and it is frozen second time. Anyone have an idea how to get table like this Page where broken link  ---- URL of broken link

Reading our replies and reading the Beginner's Guide to SEO at http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo should really help you with this site, and some of the others that you work with too.

**This is a really good answer. **  The first two paragraphs are the best answer that  I have seen to this type of question. Nice work, John.

You'll be fine as long as your 301s redirect to the actual content and not to other 301s. So 301 > homepage; 301 > homepage; 301 > homepage won't hurt you at all, but 301 > 301 > 301 > homepage will get you in trouble.

Thanks for your response. Does it seem probable that this issue caused the 60% drop in SERP performance? The only other variable near the same time was changing hosting providers. We have moved to this provider for other clients, and never saw this kind of change, but that was usually at the beginning of the SEO campaign, not in the middle.

I aware about it. But, I have confusion with omitted results. Google shows me 509 URLs in visible portion and remaining one in omitted results. I have checked similar result for my competitor with table lamps keyword. site:simplytablelamps.com Google shows 2470 pages for my competitor and omitted result is very less compare to my website. I really don't know more about it but it may cut out my impression with products which are included in omitted result. This is my assumption. What you think about it? If you can give me more idea so it will help me more.

Thanks for your great help Sha!

It's not april 1st so what's going on. <meta name="pagerank"  var="11" />

I think that is a wise choice. If you later decide to add that type of social sharing to your site, I have had good experiences with AddThis.

Hi Ryan, Thanks for response. Appreciated. Regards, Dave

RDK is right on. I would add some sites go a step further and compress their html code. This step improves the page loading speed a tiny bit as it saves the browser from having to do this work. Reading the html code becomes much more difficult when all the spaces are removed.

Hi Peter. I can't say there is a consensus on best practices in this area. You may hear varying opinions. There are two pieces of information I can share with certainty: A URL is not the place to try to stuff with every keyword associated with your job listing You should not use nofollow in the manner you suggested My first suggestion would be to use common abbreviations. IT instead of Information Technology, EN for English, etc. Next, consider removing unnecessary categories. Are both IT and Programmer helpful? Do you have any Programmers who are not under the IT category? You could also consider combining categories. Some possible URLs: www.presbium.sk/bratislava/programmer www.presbium.sk/bratislava/pragrammer-en www.presbium.sk/en/bratislava/it/pragrammer These are just some thoughts and the actual implementation would vary based on your site.

External anchor text (in combination with your content) would iron any misconceptions Google may get from internal link anchor text. Internal anchor text is of course a significant hint but I think you are safe and this is why... Google treats boilerplate and navigational elements with less editorial value (footer, navigation, sidebars) so if your article/content based anchor text is correct you will end up with those single letter links simply passing link juice around and editorial links passing meaningful tips to Google about your content. This behaviour was confirmed by Matt Cutts in one of his recent videos on YouTube.

Thanks for all the replies. Appreciated. I guess the reverse question: Do you think that having a lot of 'duplicate link no follows' on a webpage where there is already a 'primary link' is penalised. Again, your thoughts would be appreciated.
