Ecommerce sites we own have similar products, is this OK?
This sound like a completely fine idea from the search engine optimization stands point. I mean Google can’t ban you for selling the same product on two different websites J Good Luck with that!

Alexa sees a link as backlink to my website which I attached on Upwork inbox.(?)
Alexa uses toolbar installed to users computer to scan for links and sent them to their cloud as "backlinks". There isn't way to index someone other inbox folder for links as far as i know. I have installed on mine site Linkstant and here is similar "backlinks": http://mail2.daum.net/hanmailex/Top.daum (this is korean mail) http://www.notprovided.eu/wp-admin/edit-comments.php (heh, seems that someone visit mine website just to check is comment legit or don't) http://foreman2.cnet.com:9058/rb-foreman/flows.html?_flowId=edit-item-flow&id=75852664&versionCnt=0 (ups, i don't have access to this server) http://www.reddit.com/message/unread/ (reddit inbox) http://mail.naver.com/?n=1415975274556 (another mailbox) http://1.1.1.1/login.html (probably internal network) So LinkStant show this as inbound links to me in their report and i'm almost 99% sure that there IS links somewhere. Same happens with Alexa - he detect links and upload them to their reporting engine. And this engine count link as legit.

Previous keyword overuse on past blog posts: looking for a plan to proceed with new posts
I've just started re-evaluating MozPro again now but from what I recall, there's no way to see a specific scorecard for blog posts. Blog posts and landing pages have quite different purposes and so keyword targeting does work quite differently as well. Rather than targeting a specific product or serviced based term like "leather shoes seattle", they'll target a particular intent related to it. For example, "best leather dress shoes in seattle" or even broader, perhaps offer advice - "10 tips to having your old leather shoes looking like new". Clearly terrible titles but you get the picture! Rand did a Whiteboard Friday some time ago on a relevant topic that you might find helpful. Essentially what he's saying there is that getting the targetted terms into the title and through the content is kind of important, but not more important than the user experience. Also, don't worry too much about what Yoast has to say either. It can be a handy guide sometimes but just because it's highlighting something doesn't necessarily mean you have to do it. It's a confusing industry huh? I suppose if it was easy, everyone would be doing it!

Can OG titles be used as a substitute for Meta titles
TL;DR - Yes, you should use both for better CTR in SERP and Social Networks. OpenGraph is described here: http://ogp.me/ and OG is mostly used from Facebook and G+. Twitter used TwitterCards: https://dev.twitter.com/cards/getting-started#opengraph only for them. G+ used shema.org or OG: https://developers.google.com/+/web/snippet/ https://developers.google.com/+/web/snippet/article-rendering Pinterest used RichPins: https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/rich-pins/overview/ So you should read excellent article from Cyrus Shepard about all meta tags: https://moz.com/blog/meta-data-templates-123 where everything is described with examples. And answer is YES! Today is 2015 and within few days will be 2016. Today shares in social networks are so much important than also baclkinging. Of course organic visits and visits from social networks are different, so you need to implement both of tags to get maximum performance there.

Indexation of internal search results from infinite scroll
Not an expert on this but Google will crawl and index these dynamic URLs if they are being used (generated by user query) a lot. Here are some methods you could use - 1. Link building for these dynamic URLs - You could do some link building for all the combinations of filters (dynamic URLs. This could be time consuming but well worth. Ideas for link building includes - press releases, blog posts (if you have a blog then can you do internal linking), business directories (if your business has got a physical store then you can create business listings and mention your products strategically (dynamic URLs) etc. 2. Update .htaccess file - Maybe there is a way to set canonical for some URLs to your preferred dynamic URLs. - Okay, as I said I am not an expert on this so I am just throwing this idea out there for if someone is aware of a way.

Noindex / Nofollow multiple reviews pages?
I would keep collecting reviews. I would look at the stats to see if visitors are digging into them. I might increase the number on a page. Ten is really low.

Linking to Your Site: Search Console Update
Moreover, we have seen up to a 3 week lag between the time at which Google crawls a page to discover a dropped link and then actually removes that link from GSC data. So, basically it works like this... 1. You remove link from page... 2. Google re-crawls page... (can take hours to months depending on frequency of re-indexing by Google) 3. Googel removes link from Google Search Console (can take days to 3 weeks)

Backlinks with less authority the own website
Hi there. Yes, it will. It works pretty much the same way as old PageRank system. Website's authority is divided equally by number of outgoing dofollow links. So, yes, you will get juice, just less than from more authoritive website. Check images from this old post: https://moz.com/blog/link-consolidation-the-new-pagerank-sculpting

Ecommerce - Product Titles
Hi Chris Thank you for the detailed response, would you say have more subcategory pages is better? I wanted to make sure the product titles were in some way relevant to the category to help with optimisation. I'm trying to improve category page content, but at the moment it's a struggle. The focus is on the products so its not a priority for the business to have lots of content on the page. Becky

Placement of products in URL-structure for best category page rankings
I think I'm a little confused here as to what you mean by "product" in the context of real estate. Are you referring to different types of listings (e.g. office lease, retail lease etc?) If I were designing a real estate website, the structure would be as follows: website.com/listing-type/state/area/suburb You mentioned the site isn't in English so just to clarify above, the last two will be depend on regional user preferences. For example, here in Brisbane (Aus) it would be expected that I can search for properties in the "Greater Brisbane" area, meaning Brisbane City and surround suburbs. Within that region there are a bunch more suburbs More specifically: website.com/office-lease/qld/greater-brisbane/west-end The reason I'd be doing this is that not only is it an easy logic to follow but it really caters toward a user's intent. If I'm looking for an office space to lease, there's no point in presenting me with all types of listings from an area because all I want to see are office leases. Having those lease types further up your hierarchy is going to give them a little more preferences in terms of SERP position as well. From what I understand, these are the sub-category pages you're looking to rank? As a working example of this as well, I just had a look at realestate.com.au's URL structure and it's the same as my suggestions above. Their site is very flat because it's almost entirely search-driven but the URL still lets us see their site architecture http://www.realestate.com.au/property-townhouse-qld-spring+hill-416944062

SSL Certificate Install Conerns
How is the rest of your visitors seeking out natural, is it declining for different pages or sub folders as nicely? I've in no way visible Google Analytics no longer attributing the right visit to the right pages so I doubt that could be the case.

My country is wrong in the Moz tool: Shows Canada, when the store is in Georgia (US)
Hi Adam! When you say the site is in Canada, do you mean it's _hosted _in Canada? Or that it's somehow communicating that the locations are in Canada?
