  • Hey Ray ! Tks actually I need some welcome page for event they do with some 'like and access to the page' But from what I remember for the canvas link we need to get a https connection and so on.

  • Messichessi, it's a good question. I suspect the sources of those incoming links to your site - the sites linking TO you - might not have been part of the 35%. It could also be that Moz only shows you a sampling of the incoming links it has inventoried, much like Google does.

  • I'm getting a sense that you may be suffering from a duplicate-content issue. But first, let me explain. Duplicate content is not exactly a "penalty" (most of the time). Here's what usually happens: Google sees that two pages of your website are essentially the same, and the search engine does not want to have redundant search results. So, it will usually make a decision to include one of the two in search results (and not the other). I have to ask: Why do you essentially have two home pages? Is it only to attempt to have the home page rank for two different sets of keywords? If so, then I'm guessing that your two home pages are essentially the same except for some minor keyword variations. It's likely that Google changed its mind (for whatever reason) on which to include and which to ignore. I'd keep the example.com page as the main home page and 301 (permanent) redirect example.com/index/ to that page. The next time that Google indexes your website, it should see the change and then the SERP should reflect the change shortly thereafter.

  • While it might be questionable, throwing away a well-aged domain, it sure sounds like it's causing you some other issues, including bounce rate issues for people who find you simply because of partial domain name match against their queries. I'd be inclined to take the hit on domain age and move to the new site.  301 redirect the old site's pages to corresponding pages on the new site.  You can set up your old email address to forward to your new one, so people using the old will still get to you fine.  I wouldn't use the old email address on the new site, as you'll get people ignoring your emails because it's not from a site they recognize.

  • I'd echo this comment. Your H1 tag should be unique and identify the most important information. H2 tags should be for subcategories. See example below: About us Meet the team Our history Our clients

  • Make the old m dot URLs 301 redirect to the responsive version (the new pages).  That'll take care of users landing on the m dot pages until Google removes those from the index, and will transfer over any link juice the m dot pages have gathered up (although that should have already happened from rel=canonicals on your m dot pages pointing at the desktop versions...but, if you missed any...).

  • It took me a while to come back, but I made it. Link building is all about leveraging your assets.  You have a great blog with great images, so this opens up a number of strategies that you can follow to maximise the links that come back your way.  The ones that interest me in your case do involve giving a little something away, and that can be uncomfortable at first as it can feel like devaluing your work. However quality links have value, so there is a return to be had. I'd be tempted to start by thinking about what you might be prepared to give away for the right credit.  For instance would you be happy for people to use smaller versions of your images on their website if they linked back to you?  How about if that only applied to some images?  Would you let "the right website" use a full sized image in exchange for a credit? Consider what you are comfortable with and then communicate that.  Having a link to "use this image on your website" that explained the rules would encourage more to do it. You could even upload specific images to Flickr as creative commons with the required attribution being a credit link. On a smaller scale you could target high quality sites that have poor imagery and just offer them the use of a relevant image in exchange for a credit.  That can be a very effective way of getting some very high quality links.  My photos are rubbish, but I've done this successfully for even related things in the past. If you are not doing so already I'd also look at something like imageraider.  Imageraider will monitor the web for places where your images are used and alert you.  This can be equally useful for protecting your IP as it is for link building.

  • At a certain point, it becomes extremely difficult to justify expending time on creating quality unique descriptions for individual products unless you can get enough unique reviews specific to each product page. Because of this, you need to make a decision as to whether you think you can keep them indexed.  If you do an outstanding job on every other aspect of your site's SEO, you may be able to, however it's not a sure thing even if you do all that other work. What may be more beneficial is to noindex the individual flame sticker product pages and focus more energy on building trust / ranking signals focused on their category page.  There is no "one answer fits all" scenario unfortunately. As for your Domain Authority, you'll need to speak with a Moz rep for more clarity, however Domain Authority is based on Moz's proprietary formula for understanding overall quality of the full spectrum of SEO signals.  So the better you do across the board in each aspect of SEO, the stronger that score will be. You can learn more about DA on their explanation page.

  • No, I believe we no longer see 'people' photos in the SERPs. The microdata is still recommended, but it's recommended so that Google can understand the full semantic implications of the content on your website, not to display the photo in the SERPs.
