Welcome to the Q&A Forum

There are a lot of these "little things" that must be put in line to make a domain successful. Because this is such an important domain, with the success of a group of professionals at stake, I would hire an experienced SEO to give it a top to bottom review and get it into fighting shape.  This person should be able to help you get the site move straight, optimize it for organic search, get you better set-up for local search.      I would do this sooner than later. All of the pages have the same title tag and a lot of code that is not needed.   A good SEO could expand the keyword reach of the domain and make it more competitive. Getting the 301 working correctly will eventually pass the DA/PA to your new domain, but there are more important things that need to be done. (I am not posting this because I am looking for work.  I only work on my own sites.)

Anytime Theron! Cheers

Howdy There Everyone, I hope this message finds you all well and you are having a spectacular day! Unfortunately, for these after hour businesses they would need to be uploaded through a CSV. Do not fear though CSV's are super cool to use and it looks like Matt has provided a link to our documentation so you can review the format. If you would like a link to our template please feel free to follow this magical link. https://moz.com/local/static/resources/listings-template.csv I will be speaking with our product team to hopefully allow for more accommodating hour options in the single listing UI in the future. If you have any other questions let me know and I wish you a magical day!

There also seem to be url's which are duplicated: /new-york-city-tickets/elektra-theatre-tickets/50-shades-the-musical-mar-21-2015-1283412.html /new-york-city-tickets/elektra-theatre-tickets/50-shades-the-musical-mar-25-2015-1283241.html /new-york-city-tickets/elektra-theatre-tickets/50-shades-the-musical-mar-27-2015-1283246.html => 3 different url's - but the content seems to be identical on these pages. You could try to do a full crawl with Screamingfrog - and check the semi-duplicates on your site (identical H1, metadescription,... and so on)

Thanks - I should have specified that both sites are exactly the same, so products will be redirected accordingly. My only concern was losing any traction with Google since the "cool widgets" keyword will no longer be in the actual URL.

I don't know of any rule that says the content has to be close to or resemble the original content. I've used both url to url and many to one url methods of redirecting pages, depending on what I'm trying to accomplish. If you CAN go url to url, I would, simply from a usability standpoint. If I am clicking on a link in the SERPS for "old link", I am expecting the content on "new link" to at resemble the content I'm expecting. If not, you will get higher bounce rates etc. I'd go for url to url for this reason alone. In the circumstances where you can't do this, such as limitations WIX has on url to url 301 redirects, then you would go to the main page or section page. Remember, the intent of the redirect is to tell Google the content moved and that it has a new home. Again, no rule that I can cite on this, but we all know Google likes what people like.

Hi Brendan! The post you linked is really interesting! Thanks! There are so much info out there that it’s quite easy to miss the good stuff Yep, and for the on-page grader I already checked that one: A Thank you very much for your kind help

I was thinking about the iframe passing juice. Apparently that was 'confirmed' a few years ago, but I never messed with it. It seemed kind of silly to rely on it, since it could be so easily detected. I don't know if the tactic has been 'disproved' and they're spinning their wheels. I wonder what would happen if they fixed the non-www DNS failure? Other than that, I think I see 'slow drip' link building. But given that the home page seems to do better than any of the other pages I've seen, it may be safe to say the iframe tactic might work a little. The site's overall visibility appears to have steadily increased over the last four or five years. Another possibility, and I wouldn't doubt they've tried it, is CTR bots. I guess we should look into other domains that refer to |-| /\ppy flow eye tea.

I agree with DC1611 that your site is a bit over-optimised. I would also consider rewriting the text to make it more concise and natural for human visitors. You could break your text down more with meaningful sub-headings to make it easier to digest - maybe a few more pictures as well. What is your ranking around that keyword? One suggestion I would make is it that you add local buisness schema  http://schema.org/LocalBusiness. I can see that you have built your site on WordPress - I would recommend that you spend some time reading and implementing things from this post - http://moz.com/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success It will show you how to easily handle any duplicate content issues such as with tags as DC1611 mentioned in his response. Hope this helps...

Glad to hear it got resolved so quickly! Keep up the good job!

this is correct

Hello Donford, Yes, he is my competitor and sometimes I feel that he also copy my content. Mobilnishop is the leading site, but on the end it looks that google does not see that. You should search on google.rs Similar things is the pictures, specifications and frame, but text ( content) is different and form my point of view, my is much richer.

Hi Himanshu Sorry to hear you aren't seeing you links yet in our Index. What you can do is search the sites you are building links on to see if we are crawling them and check the Just Discovered tab to see if any links are in queue. If you see links there for their site and including your own, then you can expect your links to appear in our index in the next 1-2 updates. Hope this helps!

We have a client in this niche who also had this exact issue, surprisingly. She had been doing wedding cupcakes and then started picking up other events from word of mouth. We suggested she decide where she wants to be, not where she is, and organise that way. The most important thing we told her was to not overdo the URLs by including cupcake in each one.  So somecupcakedomain.com.au/weddings somecupcakedomain.com.au/corporate-events somecupcakedomain.com.au/sports Instead of: somecupcakedomain.com.au/wedding-cupcakes/chocolate-wedding-cupcakes somecupcakedomain.com.au/corporate-cupcakes/christmas-party-cupcakes somecupcakedomain.com.au/sports-cupcakes/baseball-cupcakes It's a lot less spammy, easy to read and we've found that clean URLs perform better in pretty much every way (SEO, conversions, etc.)

Hi Everyone, I hope this message finds you well and you are all enjoying a spectacular day! This is a tricky issue, but the first thing to note is that our crawler is sadly fairly literal. In keyword rankings for example if you have the competitor google.com listed under the root domain and they are currently ranking for the sub domain www.google.com, then our crawler will have some trouble finding the pages. Due to the volume of requests we make we need to make sure that the sub domains match up before we can report the information properly for competitors. If you would like to write into help@moz.com a customer service representative should be able to take a look at your campaign. Writing into help@moz.com is also awesome because we can discuss account details outside of a public forum. Hopefully this helps and if you have any other questions or concerns let me know. Stay awesome!

When I run that page in Open Site Explorer, I do not see a redirect. (I also don't see any links.) If I switch it to look at the root domain instead, I see a bunch of links to various pages. It seems that this root domain hosts pages for other companies, including lawyers, web design companies, and this seo company. So if you look at the links to the root domain, you will see links to the various companies on that domain.

The first question I asked in this forum was very similar to this. It can be very difficult to optimize sales pages, especially the long-form very sales-y type. In many cases there really isn't anything you can do to the content because the sales copywriter chooses very specific language to get the message across. Additionally, these pages tend not to be the sort of thing people will link to. What I eventually chose to do was to use the targeted, helpful information page you mentioned to draw in the organic search and not worry about the sales pages beyond title, description, and canonical. However if you do have the option to make your helpful information page and your sales page one and the same, that is a great choice.
