Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Robert and Noah, Thank you both very much, this is pretty much what I was thinking. I understand and agree concerning the importance of non-spammy relevant and hopefully engaging content. Thanks Guys, Craig

thanks, pls let me know asap as have a new large client waiting for reports. cheers Virginia

Tks, is it just for 1 keyword or a lot of keywords / URLs combinations that you are noticing the off-page strengths being strong but still not ranking. To me it's an opportunity to do the architecture SEO Audit and see what you can do to help the entire website, structural changes. If it's just 1-2 pages, then copy optimization, meta optimization on that page along. I hope this helps.

Ahh, good to know. Thank you.

Do try a different browser. If it happens in multiple browsers, we'd appreciate a screenshot of it along with browser and OS details in an email to help@seomoz.org. Thanks so much, and sorry you're having problems! Keri

Hey Ranjit, Open Site Explorer shows Tweets and FB shares for the URL itself. I know it can be kind of tricky, but it has nothing to do with your Facebook page. Since OSE has no idea what your Facebook page is it only searches for mentions of the URL itself. For example. Run a report for www.seomoz.org. We obviously have way more than 139 likes for our FB page, but the URL www.seomoz.org has only been liked 139 times. I hope that makes sense. Cheers, Joel.

Thanks for the email id! I will drop a mail.  I would update the thread as soon as I get a response. Appreciate your response :).

Thank you all, I will let you know what the master says about the code. Mark

Irving - Ok, so we took the restriction out of robots.txt while IT tries to fix the issue of URLs showing up on the sitemap that shouldn't. Warnings haven't fallen off and now our sitemap is a day behind now as it's stuck in pending for almost a full day. Any thoughts on what might be causing? I'm assuming this is impacting what's indexed and hurting our site.

Glad to help!

Ta very much.

Yes it does improve CTR on organic search. Regular product pages rely on the content Google crawls (i.e. title and description). With the hproduct spec you will get price, availability, product category bread-crumb and review information - i.e. your search result will stand out from everyone else. I have only worked with hproduct and single offers, but I would say that the offeraggregate would allow you to cater for different currencies. A good starting point is http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=146750 Don't use microformats. Microdata/Schema.org is your first choice but RDFa works just as well.

Thanks Ben! So even if I rel=canonical all of the pages, they'll still show up in the error report. That makes it hard get a clean report but I get it.

Thank you for the input, I've read loads of books on SEO and I'm here now on SEOmoz, who'd a thought.. what should i start to do which will make a difference in your mind? I know links is most important, but ?

Hi There, Sorry that your graphs aren't loading properly. It isn't normal for the graph to take such a long time to load and there doesn't seem to be any issue with your Analytics connection. I checked all three of your campaigns and I am seeing that the organic traffic graphs are taking longer than normal to load. I'm seeing all of them eventually load, but it does seem that some of them are taking about a full minute so I will need to send this to our engineers to look into. I'm going to create a ticket in our help desk and use that to communicate with you and the engineers about this issue. You will receive an email from our help desk once the ticket has been created with a link to access the ticket and you can reply to me there with any further information or questions you may have. -Chiaryn

As far as I'm aware, changes in algorithms are put live in the US before the UK. This might mean that theres been some slight changes or maybe the website has been re-indexed recently. Ask your US colleagues when the site was last cached and check that against yours. I am aware that Google puts changes live in the US before anywhere else though. Kind of nice for us in the UK, we can see the storm coming from overseas

Thanks Brad. I thought so.

I ran your site through ScreamingFrog which threw up 20 URLs that through 40x errors. http://www.farmison.com/christmas is linked to from  http://www.farmison.com/community/blog/christmas-with-farmison/ Also take a look at http://www.farmison.com/community/blog/christmas-cheese-competition/ which links to some removed pages. The /christmas URL should not 404 you should either 301 redirect it somewhere or leave it online ready for this Christmas!
