Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I agree with both posters before me. I find many times digital agencies use their homepage to grab attention, and to build a strong sense of branding, but typically build strong internal pages loaded with content to help drive organic search results.

Hey, No problem. I appreciate you taking the time to have a look and get back to me. I've fixed the issue. It was a JavaScript class selector problem but it's all sorted so thanks for spotting that mate. Cheers Gaz

I would take the "aggregation" route. Instead of having lots of pages for each make and model of vehicle, I would make single pages that list all of the vehicles of a single make and model.  These pages would be more substantive, permanent, impressive, useful, competitive, than a lot of skimply single pages that appear and disappear from your website. Competitors are probably not doing this because it is difficult instead of easy.   Put checkboxes down the side of the page that visitors can "check to compare".

Hi Ivan, do you have an update on this?

Given the fine responses to the question, both vis a vis SEO and without considering SEO, do limits exist to the length of the H1 tag similar to the Title tag, which many say to should be between the max 65 and 70 characters to display in the SERPS? Finding different ways to describe the same subject in a succinct way can be difficult and time-consuming, so I wonder how much time to spend on different H1 and Title text -- not to mention FB and other metadata for that page. Tangentially, I have noticed that shorter Titles often have the site name appended, and I am not sure that is always a good thing -- especially when words can be duplicated. For example: "Why Live in London" can have the site name "- London Accommodations" auto-appended. Thank you

Hi, Having a self referencing canonical tag on your own pages is not a problem. The canonical tag needs to go into the head of the page though (it is not valid if in the body of the html) so just make sure that the 3rd party syndication service actually provides this - it might - but it might not I am guessing. Even with the canonical I would still include a clean text link back to the original page if this is possible (both as a second indication of origin but also for the visits it might send).

I agree with Hutch42, the isolated pages are what the industry calls "orphan pages". There is some good info about the subject you may want to dive into before you make your final decision.

Many thanks

Thanks for your feedback Zen Man, Creating quality content was a prerequisite when redeveloping the website and I would like to add infographics but find this creates problems on a Wordpress website. Interviewing key employees is a good idea. I planned to have our technical team/partners write content for our blog (I'm a marketer not a tekky guy) to appeal to our audience, so I'll certainly take your advice to include employee interviews. Appreciate your advice. Thanks Jason

Thank you very much.

Hi, I just wanted to say that everything has been fixed. I was able to downgrade successfully. Thank you James for sorting this out for me! Best wishes, Amelia

All they will ever say is it's self inflicted/internal. Google+ and North Korea probably teamed up to hack them and Tinder. LOL!

go into Google Webmaster tools and see if you have the option of HRlang How new is .in it was .co.in if you do targeted at the country you wish to Rank within Do you have the correct language setup is your content copy written for the country are targeting? https://www.distilled.net/blog/uncategorized/google-cctlds-and-associated-languages-codes-reference-sheet/ here is a list of TLD's that do not need to have you tell Google where you want them rank. If you do not have any Hindi and your server's IP address is being hosted out of the United States Google could be picking up on these other signals. | http://www.google.co.in | .in | India | en - English | hi - Hindi | I will write back tomorrow and finish this it's very late for me now but look into this for me please.

Hi Jason, You can request the hosting company you're using block the hostnames below. You can also look for their IP addresses however note this is probably a waste of time because they are so easily changed. This is a tool that you can use if you do want to block by IP http://www.whatsmyip.org/whois-dns-lookup/ In many cases it shows me the hostname has more than one IP address. Better to block the host name itself then to deal with the IP's. Adding a web application firewalls that give you control will make a world of difference to your clients and yourself. Remember you can check if your site is infected for free by using the tools below. Simply put your domain in and run them to make sure you are not infected. http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/ http://www.unmaskparasites.com/security-report/ https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2795830?hl=en I definitely recommend adding one of the WAF's You Can http://www.incapsula.com/pricing-and-plans.html (free plan will help) https://sucuri.net/website-firewall/ ( Probably Best Value) or http://www.distilnetworks.com/ ( Incredible Bot Protection) darodar.com bestsub.com blackhatworth.com buttons-for-website.com casinobonustips.com cenoval.ru civilwartheater.com co.lumb.co cukwiki.com econom.co entourank.com hulfingtonpost.com ilovevitaly.co ilovevitaly.com make-money-online.7makemoneyonline.com priceg.com semalt.semalt.com seoairport.com seokicks.de serw.clicksor.com similarpages.com webstatsdomain.org ymlp.co Here is a list that will allow you to add multiple bad host names to a block list via using a comma in between the host names.

Yandex holds onto about 60+% market share in Russia for Search Engines and a few years ago (2013) was only one of four countries to where Google was not number one for market share. (http://returnonnow.com/internet-marketing-resources/2013-search-engine-market-share-by-country/) As was said above, they also provide some tools similar to Google like Email, Docs, etc... and also provide a webmaster tools section for site owners similar to Google as well.  (I don't believe there to be a cost associated with the Webmaster Tools.) It also has been quite successful on unlocked Android phones in comparison to other SE's in other regions around the world. One of the caveats that help really project Yandex to the top of Russia's SE use is the ability to parse through the Russian language differently and some would argue, better than Google.  It also claims to not utilize links in their algorithm due to the high volume of linkspam in Russia.  More about the nuanced differences has been published online but a high level article can be found here: http://www.semrush.com/blog/publications/5-advantages-yandex-google-russia/ If you are not trying to work within Russia deal with Russian then Yandex should not be of too much of a concern. The nuanced differences never hurt to learn though and these region specific SE's such as NAVER and Baidu are going to become more important in the future, or that is my guess at least, as the populations expand.  But hey, I am not Nostradamus either.

happy to be of help and remember if you ever have an issue with your permana  links breaking before you going crazy simply go into them and hit the save button this refreshes them and works miracles I promise you. All the best, Tom
