Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Awesome-thanks so much Ryan!

To make it a little less of a coin toss, if the responsive site is delivering an even better user experience than the mobile website, redirecting the subdomain could be a benefit. You'd want to have solid split testing data from uniform groups of users, but if the directions point to responsive over m.website.com it could make since to go with the responsive site as the sole experience.

There are various plugins available for download to help you create a Wordpress sitemap that you can upload into Google Webmaster Tools. GWT allows for multiple sitemaps to be uploaded. You're likely missing the Google Analytics code on your blog as well which is leading to the weirdness within analytics. Yoast makes several Wordpress plugins that help with SEO which you can find here: https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/, that cover both sitemaps and Google Analytics. There are others, but those two things are what will address your questions above most likely. Cheers!

Hello Ben, I think Nishada's answer below will lead you in the right directions. Also, I highly recommend setting up weekly/monthly Custom Reports so that you can go back and reference those rankings any time you'd like. Moving forward, once you've created those, you can access that data at any time. I hope this helps!

Thank you for the recommendations.

Hi, To know what keywords your competitors using you should use following tools.I am sharing an article on this how to use those tools. http://www.searchenginejournal.com/5-free-tools-for-competitor-keyword-research/ Second to know whether keyword is properly targeted or not use moz on page grader tool (https://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader). Thanks

Hi Erica, Many Thanks for responding. You have suggested to use utm parameters in urls while doing internal linking. however the utm parameters are used to track campaigns like adwords paid program. Can utm parameters be used for tracking internal linking. If yes, what will be the campaign source & campaign medium. Will if affect the rankings if we have only dynamic tracking urls interlinked and the corresponding static urls are not linked from anywhere on the site. Regards

Primary keyword in that URL example from the Learn SEO section refers not to the most important keyword on your site or the most important topic on your site, but to the most important keyword on that specific page that the URL is pointing to. I believe that's where the confusion lies. Hope this helps.

Hey! Actually Rand made a very nice Whiteboard Friday about this topic: http://moz.com/blog/subdomains-vs-subfolders-rel-canonical-vs-301-how-to-structure-links-optimally-for-seo-whiteboard-friday I personally prefer to use subfolders, had good experience with it. Gr., Keszi

Hi Glenn, Sorry for the trouble with getting upgraded! It looks like we have an issue with the calculation when you upgrade from a free trial. Apologies for that - we will look into this! Send us an email at help@moz.com and we can get you set up properly through the backend in the meantime!

Adding to the guys' responses above, the .tv name was originally a country level domain for Tavula but of course was quickly taken up by non local businesses for obvious reasons. A couple of years ago google updated a number of country level domains - inlcuding .tv -  to be considered generic top level domains (so for example you can set geo targeting options in google webmaster tools). This article (a couple of years old now) has a video from Matt Cutts saying be careful using country level domains for something they were not intended for, but as the update mentioned above shows, the general trend to use .tv names for video type sites is not something google is unaware of. You will still of course need to do the hard work, the domain itself is unlikely to help you rank any better - it is more a branding/marketing hook.

Hi Dev, It's really going to depend on how much of the content is duplicated.  From what I've seen, Google isn't very good at chunking pages up YET.  They're good at spotting entire pages duplicated (e.g. press releases or articles syndicated across multiple sites), and pages on your site that have the majority of the content the same.  But I don't think you're going to run into trouble with a page that has a number of sections, each of which is an entire page on its own. Where you MIGHT run into trouble is with Panda and thin content.  If the content you have for each of the manufacturers is very light, i.e. just a few sentences and an image or two, then those pages might be seen as thin content.  While I don't think you have to hit the magic 2000 word mark on every page to avoid being seen as thin content, you certainly are going to want more than 100 words.  And, if those manufacturer pages are important search targets for competitive terms--well, then, you probably WILL want those pages to contain somewhere near 2000 words each. In THAT case, you'll probably want to change the content on the all-manufacturers page, and instead just put a short excerpt for each manufacturer there, along with some sort of "learn more" link to the single manufacturer page.

With Medium levels and above you can have "Branded Reports" which allow you to add your own logo to the reports. See: http://moz.com/products/pricing.

Just want to thank Miri Offir for the question. Her detailed post and this discussion are the answer to my everything!

Thanks Miriam, the problem is that for each franchise territory we only have 1 physical location any often 30+ locations within that territory where we want to rank. Perhaps I should place an image of the phone number to avoid this as from a usability perspective its annoying not to have the phone number readily available?
