Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Kyle, Appreciate the response and your insight.  The subdomain was set to 301, which made me nervous about the bad links.  However, there has been no warning in GWMT.  I am curious where the threshold lies for GWMT to flag your link profile.  And if a poor link profile can affect your site's authority before you cross that line in GWMT. I highly doubt a straight answer exists for that question, but I'd be curious to here yours (and others) experiences with the matter. Thanks again!

I'm using Interspire's shopping cart system with a few modifications. There's absolutely no official support for it at this point, so I appreciate your help. The cart is a standalone php page, so I think that just blocking that off should be sufficient. Thanks!

Thank you for the kind words. I send you a private message and feel free to contact me no charge for my advice

I don't read the language, which makes it quite a bit harder. One thing I did notice is that there are still some real thin pages in the index that also look like duplicates. Look at: http://www.enakliyat.com.tr/hata.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/nakliye-firmalari/yilmaz-atlas-42 http://www.enakliyat.com.tr/hata.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/gaziantep-evden-eve-nakliyat-fiyatlari-55 http://www.enakliyat.com.tr/hata.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/manisa-evden-eve-nakliyat-fiyatlari-37 Looks like these are perhaps error pages that shouldn't be indexed? It might be best for you to find an SEO who understands your language and is able to help you out.

I've heard good things about rmoov as well although I haven't used it.  I believe though that you still need to audit your links personally but you would get them in a more organized manner. What I do with my spreadsheets (which are often >30,000 links) is sort them by domain and then assess one link from each domain.  I had a script built for me to weed out the nofollows and link/page not founds, but prior to having this script built I would do it manually.  Once you have your sheet organized it's not that hard to zip through them. I'm not a fan of any of the automated tools that actually try to classify your links for you.  I've reviewed a lot of sites' failed reconsideration requests and have seen several of these reports where they are horribly inaccurate.

Hey Bill I like to start with this standard setup (image/chart from my wordpress post on moz); Pages, Posts, Categories - Index Tags, Dated Archives, Subpages, Author Archives - noindex You can check out the full post - I will be updating the Yoast Screenshots very soon! -Dan

Ok. Well changing the page title could help, as well as on-page optimization but what really could help is to create some good content and get (build) some good relevant links to help your page rank. Have a look at this article http://moz.com/blog/ranking-factors-2013 Hope it helps.

Thanks for your comment, It was very helpful.

Thank you all for your replies. yes it was re branding. I advised what you both recommended but I am afraid it is a little too late. Oh well

And in terms of Links I would just let them came naturally, I will establish collaboration and if anyone links to my site or my content I will know that came absolutely natural a i will not have any problems with penguin or any update that Google will produce in the future. Actually I had one link to my homepage, which I got from a charity that I've contacted and ask them if I can support them by adding some info about them on my site, in return and without asking they added a link to my site

My best guess is that you either good hacked and your site has something in the code or google got title from a web directory, social site ... Just add  in the head section. Hope this helps

Thanks Peter .

Jonnygeekuk, If GWT is telling you they are "aware" (whether indexed or not) of URLs that you do not want indexed, and you have either blocked them in the robot.txt file or the robots header tag, or the page serves a 404 or 410 response in the http header, it wouldn't hurt to use the URL removal tool to remove those pages from the index just to be sure.

I have this too with SEO ultimate. Using the On page grader it tells me that I need to use only one canonical URL tag. SEO ultimate shows that its all there but the report saying there is a problem. I have also disabled some author achiving. Any thoughts? Canonicalizer | Canonical URL Generation | <fieldset> <label for="link_rel_canonical">Generate meta tags</label> <label for="http_link_rel_canonical">Send rel="canonical" HTTP headers</label></fieldset> | | Canonical URL Scheme | <fieldset> <label class="first current-setting" for="canonical_url_scheme_">Use http:// or https:// depending on how the visitor accessed the page</label> <label for="canonical_url_scheme_http">Make all canonical URLs begin with http://</label> <label for="canonical_url_scheme_https">Make all canonical URLs begin with https://</label></fieldset> | | Automated 301 Redirects | <fieldset> <label for="remove_nonexistent_pagination">Redirect requests for nonexistent pagination</label></fieldset> |

cheers for that, will need to shift my focus, many thanks

Lauren, you should note that the 301 redirects are "Notices" in in the Crawl Diagnosis Summary and not actually warnings.  As noted in the report, Notices are interesting facts about your pages Moz found while crawling your site. As Bereijk stated, your redirects from URLs without trailing slashes to ones that have them is fine.  As a point of information however, such redirects are not necessary, as either version (but not both at the same time) is acceptable but you do want to be consistent in how you deal with them on your site. Your redirects from ugly URLs to "seo friendly" URLs are also fine. The "Warning" regarding Too Many On-Page Links trips at 100.  You might call this a soft threshold, as there is no hard rule held up by Google as what is actually too many but it's been suggested that the lower a page's authority, a fewer number of links are recommended.  Dr. Pete wrote a post on this here: http://moz.com/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many

Right on. Yeah, I would just leave them as 404s and if they are indexed by Google, they will eventually be removed from the index. Mike

just wanted to let everyone know that since the help i received yesterday we have noticed our rankings improved, we have gone from page nine to page six, so thank you everyone

just to let you know that i have now sorted the issues on the home page and we have jumped from page nine in google to pay six in the past 12 hours. so many thanks for your help it has done wonders. can you let me know about the below as i have looked at we see it with the www. On you health page it has the canonical URL of http://in2town.co.uk/health-magazine (I don't remember wether it was with or without www) - and this is the proper way to do it.

Danny Dover at Moz did a whiteboard Friday that goes through the basics and is a good resource: http://moz.com/blog/the-basics-of-local-seo-whiteboard-friday There are also several good blog posts on the topic that will help, including this one: http://moz.com/blog/40-important-local-search-questions-answered And David Mihm, now at moz put together a list of ranking factors that you should be aware of: http://www.davidmihm.com/local-search-ranking-factors.shtml
