  • Hi Dave. A workflow checklist should really help with this as well. There are probably a few other items you'll catch by meeting with the others involved and getting everyone on the same page. Cheers!

  • On gwt is easy to target web to local spanish users, but for seo focused is better a local tdl like .es domain.

  • Perhaps they should look at re-branding the product offering before they look at ranking. Take a look at this inspirational video by Rory Sutherland.

  • You could use a CDN - I personally use MaxCDN. This would host your JS/CSS/Image/PDF types of files and deliver them to the user faster than your normal web server will. Here's how to connect MaxCDN to Magento if that's the CMS you're on: https://www.maxcdn.com/one/tutorial/magento-cdn/

  • hi the reason we are trying to reduce them was because the site has a fancy navigation bar which looks good, gives fast a navigation, but then inturn providesa  high volume of links from the source page, thanks

  • Hi Simon A couple of things I found... You have duplicate content issues: http://hygienefood.co.uk/ Both www. and non www. versions of the site work Both http and https versions of the site work I also found this site - is this yours or someone else? Reason being, this is the exact content that lives on your bee removal page. Your robots.txt is an accident waiting to happen - check out Moz's best practices I would also use Open Site Explorer and Majestic to take a look at your backlink profile It looks like random domains (some irrelevant and others stuffed with keywords) are redirecting to your site This could look potentially spammy I would take care of all duplicate content and technical issues first. Then, I would look at my backlink profile - what can be cleaned up? Removed? Disavowed? So on and so forth. Then I would look at my competitor's backlink profile. What is it about their content that other (RELEVANT) websites like and are linking to? Am I doing that on my site? What do I need to change? Hopefully this helps, if I find anything else I will let you know - this was just a quick skim.

  • Hi, You're site is not the only one - there seem quite a bit sites which redirect to these fake e-shops. Most likely the cause of this problem is a vulnerability issue with the slider on your site - check these links: http://wptavern.com/100000-wordpress-sites-compromised-using-the-slider-revolution-security-vulnerability & http://wptavern.com/critical-security-vulnerability-found-in-wordpress-slider-revolution-plugin-immediate-update-advised I noticed you already installed sitelock which is a good thing. You should however also block access to pages like yourdomain/wp-content/themes/maya/inc/admin_scripts/ .  Also check that Wordpress is up-to-date (as well as the other plugins you are using), change all your passwords on the server (also change your email passwords). If needed, get professional assistance to help you out of this mess, especially if you're not technically skilled. It's quite important that you now delete all the external content on your site. Don't postpone this - the brand owner could file a spam report, or even take legal actions (one of the url's your site is redirecting to seems to be a phishing site of canada-goose.com - http://www.jackenoutletde.org/login.html This case is quite similar to this one http://moz.com/community/q/chinese-site-ranking-for-our-brand-name-possible-hack - but the roles are different - this question is from a site owner which didn't rank for it's own brand name because of hacking issues (which would be Canada Goose in your case) rgds, Dirk PS you'll find a Belgian IP address in your sitelock logs - that's me, not the hacker

  • I know this question is answered already but my 2c based on what we've changed about our onsites. If your brand name includes a main keyphrase, we typically don't include it on every page. You basically end up "competing" with yourself for that keyphrase. There's no point having: Syracuse Wedding Photographers | MyCompany Photography and using that brand bit on every single page. You're over-telling Google that the page is photo related. (Photographers in general have this issue but it applies to MyCompany Plumbing and MyCompany Iphone Repair too.)

  • Ideally the value and trust associated with the domain and desktop version of a site should carry over into the mobile version once the hurdle of having a mobile version that Google accepts is met. Of course this is the "ideal" situation and there can be lots of little hiccups along the way. In general terms though, if the site is responsive, on the same URLs, and and loading quickly across devices it should perform similar to desktop.

  • We have been having the same duplicate content issues on our Shopify website. We would also love to know a solution.

  • In addition to all the good answers you already got. Putting everything on a single page you lose opportunities to place keywords in url, <title>and <h1> or diluting <h1> value.</p></title>

  • It's a pretty old page, so take it with a grain of salt. Mostly what they're getting at I think is their preference for facts over sales copy when it comes to granular data. Still, things like page counts plus author and illustrator information within the H1 and Titles could help diversify your hundreds of thousands of pages.

  • I agree with the sentiment here, Moosa, but know that PA and DA do take link quality into account, and they won't necessarily go up when you get new links. There's actually a huge number of factors that goes into calculating those metrics. (Check out our overview of Page Authority here, and of Domain Authority here.) For example, both metrics consider MozTrust, which measures the inherent "trust value" of linking sites. So to use a pretty simple scenario, if you gain a few links from less-trusted (but not necessarily bad) sites, and lose one link from a very high-trust site, you may actually see PA and DA decrease. It's not unheard of for a high-trust site to go offline and drop the DA and PA of any sites it had linked to, as well as sites those sites link to. That's one of the reasons that we generally recommend using DA and PA to benchmark yourself against your competitors rather than as an absolute measure of your "rankability." Make sense? Just wanted to set the record straight.
