H1 does not display as it should supposed to
The reason is quite simple - if you look at your source and search for H1 - you'll see that you have multiple H1 - the first is 1, than # 2, than # 3, than the final one is the real H1. Keep only the real H1 & remove the others and the issue is solved. rgds, Dirk

How to regain Facebook Page Authority - For page badly affected with spam users
Good Morning! I feel like it might be important to discuss how you acquired so many "spam" fans in the first place. I assume these fans were not generated naturally? If so, you could prevent this in the future by being more selective in your ad targeting. While the removal process will undoubtedly be slow and might not have a direct impact on the "authority" of your page, it will help increase your organic reach. When you have a high number of disengaged ("fake") fans that do not interact with any of your posts, your organic reach will suffer greatly. However, by cleaning up your fan base and reaching more fans who are actually interested with that you have to say, engagement as a percentage will increase - sending positive signals to Facebook - and your reach will increase because of this. It is always better to have a smaller number of legitimate fans that a high number of disengaged fans just for the sake of having x amount of followers. Happy fans = happy Facebook. Hope this helps!

Base copy on 1 page, then adding a bit more for another page - potential duplicate content. What to do?
I agree with Ryan, doing it all on one page with the different number of days/itineraries sectioned out is the way I'd go. First, a page actually can rank well for more than one search term, especially when they are so closely related. And second, what is the point of optimizing different pages for different numbers of days and then canonicalizing them to the ten day trip? The canonical indicates that only the ten-day page should be indexed, so who cares whether the shorter trip pages are optimized or not? They won't be findable in the SERPs. Lastly, there is no penalty as such for duplicate content. Google just decides which page is the most useful to show and the others drop out of the index. If your pages are very similar, Google may well make the decision for you and drop some of them out of the index.

SEO report for specific pages (not just based on keyword analysis)
Hi Andrew http://nibbler.silktide.com/ Use Nibbler! This will do what you want and it doesn't confuse you with too many graphs, it just gives you a 0 - 10 rating and a colour to go off. It will check 5 pages of your site so get everything scoring as close to 10 as possible and then you can just replicate the changes you made across the entire site when your more comfortable with what your doing. Also scan through your site using www.quicksprout.com That ones pretty good as well but Nibbler provides better explanations and instructions.

Redirecting back to initial redirect.
If you redirect site b to site a now, you will be passing along the negative effects of the penalties. Site a no longer exists in the search world if your redirect is that old. The best thing to do would be to fix the penalties, disavow bad links and submit a reconsideration request. Redirecting site b to site a would mean starting all over, and you would still have to deal with the penalties or site a won't rank at all. I suppose you could just kill site b, and make site a live again. You would still be starting over with site a, either way.
