Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you both. As it happens, just now I discovered the site is already covered with a basic SSL certificate through my host. However, the secure version of the site doesn't load properly - the CSS is being loaded over http, so I need to fix that in wp-admin. Just leaving this here in case it ever helps anybody else! http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27727003/website-homepage-loses-styling-when-ssl-forced

i can i can i can be or do whatever i want dont say i can't do something

Ranking dropped a little bit probably due to server and ssl migration. Something else that disappeared after the migration is the rich snippets (review stars and price) from the google results. Tho rich snippet results are showing correct in site operation mode (site:www.pccdkeys.com). So it seems that migration caused this loss and i hope google will get rich results back after a short period of time in organic results. My schema structure is the best compared to the competition and it will help a lot when it comes back. Meta descriptions were not touched from us what do ever. Unique content added in 70% of total but we are working to make it 100%.

See Rand's whiteboard on this. In most cases, you will see seo benefits in placing these in a subfolder as search engines retain metrics differently between the two.

OK I gotcha now. You can submit the sitemap in all versions of Search Console, won't hurt anything to have it referenced in multiple profiles of SC. Another thing you can do to make sure crawlers find your XML is add this line to your robots.txt file: Sitemap: http://yoursitecom/sitemap.xml

What a great idea! I'll definitely schedule in some time with the client to ask those questions. Thanks so much!

According to my Moz bar, you don't have any backlinks.  How many do your competitors have? Do you have a solid plan to get quality backlinks?

I agree with Andy, except that I would set the categories and the navigation bar for usability over pleasing the search engines. Blasphemy, I know on an SEO Q&A forum. Seriously, though, your #1 goal is to keep it as simple and uncomplicated as possible for users to find your products. SEO aids that, but it is not the goal in and of itself. The goal is more clients/sales/users. If you haven't done this already, put your categories/navigation sections on 3x5 cards or sticky notes, and then arrange them on a table or wall. Cross-reference the navigation words you are using with the search terms by which people look for this product to make sure they are user-friendly What taxonomy works and would make sense to your users in terms of getting to your products the easiest and fastest? Then use that one. A complicated taxonomy that makes sense to robots but not to people will increase your bounce rates and not your sales. So...go for the users. -- Jewel

Hi RankingFast! It seems that you have two questions here: How do I get my page indexed with Google? How can I rank for the term Home Based Business?' I saw that you asked this exact question previously with another site, so I'm going to assume you have a basic understanding of SEO, if not, I'd recommend reading Moz's Beginner's Guide to SEO. Answers: The page is already indexed with Google, I checked this myself. So step 1 complete! This is the hard one. You've really got an uphill battle for a few reasons. First, the domain you're using is a landing page app (generally used for one-off campaigns, not organic traffic) & Google knows that. I'd highly recommend migrating to your own site as quickly as possible. Second, I'd recommend trying to build some exact match (or close variants) anchor text links to the site. Third, I'd revisit the content. The quiz is likely great, but Google cannot index the contents of the quiz very effectively. Try adding some additional content lower on the page so that Google has a bit more information to work with here. Try using terms that have high lexical similarities to your target term. Fourth, I'd highly recommend keeping all the content on one site. It seems the quiz migrates you to yet another domain. If you must use a landing page system, try using one that allows you to make it a sub-domain (Unbounce does this, and most others do too.). If you can do these things, you have a chance to rank for that term. But otherwise, I think you're going to have some issues here. It can be done, but if you're going to climb a mountain, I'd recommend having the right gear for the job (meaning a dedicated website & more content). Let me know if you have any further questions! Good luck! Trenton

If you have a budget for paid search and dont care about it ranking organically - sure However, not everyone will go for paid search ads. As for link juice - just add dofollow links to individuals.nl on non-canonicalized home page and that will transfer pretty much all the juice.

Thank you!

If for some reason you need all the colors to have their own page (as opposed to putting all of the colors on one page, as Alick300 helpfully suggested) you can use rel=canonical links to choose one page to be the indexed one (the most popular color, perhaps).  If you are not familiar with canonicals, here is some information.

While this is a good idea in most respects, I would be wary of using a Top Level Domain if you plan on using the MozBar to track your DA / PA. Unfortunately Moz's bots can't crawl a lot of TLDs, and you would be stuck seeing a DA / PA of 1 forever (or until they add that TLD to their database, but I assume that will be a long, long time).

Thank you!

Thanks, I guess I'll have to wait and see once we are out of the sandbox. If nothing chances I'll start suggesting changing that keyword. Thanks again

I may have phrased questions wrong. Was just asking if a login page should be indexed.

I've had some run-ins with case-sensitive URLs in the past and it drives me crazy, I don't understand why CMSs still do that!! While canonical tags are a perfectly fine way to handle this, there's a better solution. Brian Love wrote a great blog post on how to do server-side URL lower-casing. I've used this on a few sites and it works great.
