Importance of correction of technical errors

[JesusD]

Hello everyone!!!

I have question that i know it has been asked so many times. However i am looking for an idea for my specific situation.

I own a website about commercial steel. My main focus has been getting incoming links from important companies and sites, while maintaining a good quality site.

Ive been struggling with ranks and Page Authority. Ive never put attention to technical errors such as Duplicate Content, 4XX Errors and critical warnings such as Redirects. I have around 70 errors and around 400 warnings. Someone told me that as long as the website is "user friendly" i should worry about that.

I have scarce resources to my SEO efforts. Which aspect should i put more effort?. Link Building and Quality Content vs Technical SEO ??? Is there a recommended balance mix towards a better PA, DA and Overall Quality??

I know is difficult, but it would be extremely helpful to hear from you!!

Regards.

Hi Jesus,

This is an interesting article about how fixing duplicate content increased a websites indexation, in turn increasing their website traffic by 150%.

I would definitely attack the Crawl Errors found ASAP. Duplicate page content, 4XX errors, and missing or duplicate title tags can definitely mess with rankings.

Once you have your errors under control, I would work on the warnings whenever you have time or are bored.

Long story short... the errors can definitely have a big impact on how you are ranking, while the warnings are just a "heads-up".

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Mike
