Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

I'm using CTA in all caps and many other SEO's also used and not heard any penalty due to this ever. Second meta description is not a ranking factor it is just to increase CTR.

**Don't use whole meta description in caps only CTA part in caps e.g FREE DELIVERY OR FREE SHIPPING.

Thanks

Hi,

As far as I know yes it is important.

Hi,

Did you  check them in open site explorer or majestic seo or Hrefs? unfortunately Google doesn't show all its links.It can take a while for new links to be found by Google.  They say it can take a couple of weeks but I've seen links that took months to be found.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

My personal preference is Ahrefs. Now I do gather data from other sources, but I find ahrefs gives you the highest number of active links.

Hi,

I  do following steps to target synonym keywords & keywords ranking improve for both keywords (synonym).

1>I do use both keywords in meta title {one keyword - second keyword |modifiers(e.g cheap, buy, best)}

2> I use one keyword that have more search volume in H1 tag.

3> Place both keywords in webpage content and I would suggest you to long webpage content (at least 500 words).

4>I use both keywords as anchor text for getting links and also append modifiers for anchor text variation.

What I have shared above it is my personal experience I hope it helps in your case as well but not very sure because I am not aware of  keywords, webpage content , link building methods etc.

Thanks

Hi Jason,

First of all don't focus on the directory only. I don't know on which directory you have submitted your site and most of the directories have been ineffective for a long time now.

Hi Ben,

Yes Mobile SERPs are different to desktop. Is it different only because its mobile vs desktop? Nope

SERPs are also influenced by your previous searches and a bunch of other things. So mobile serps can easily be different from desktop serps. Of course results may vary depending on industry & keyword.

Let's not forget that the serp layout is different since mobile serps usually cram everything into one column (adwords, map, etc) so ranking #3 can be much better value on a desktop serp vs a mobile serp that has extra things above your #3 ranking.

Hope this helps

Hi,

There are many reasons that can cause Google to remove a page/site from its search index. First you need to review your page’s content yourself. If a site has content that is illegal and harmful, then Google will not include it in the search results.

Check the page with Google Search Console

Google allows webmaster to see how Google sees their websites with Search Console (formerly webmaster tools).

After logging into your Google search console account, there are two main sections where Google will directly inform you what’s wrong with your page.

1. Crawl errors:
2. Security:
3. also check for malicious code

Hope this helps.

Hi Kate,

Which version are preferred version of your site www or without www?  if without www link backlinks must be with url https://abc.com  and if www use https://www.abc.com

Also, be sure to go into webmaster tools and verify both the www and non www versions of your site, then select the preferred version

It needs to redirect in the case if preferred version is www and you are building link without www.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

For products image alt tag is necessary because It provides Google with useful information about the subject matter of the image. Google use this information to help determine the best image to return for a user's query. So it is really important and every product image must have alt tag

Its bit confusing because in Google search console you can set only one version as preferred version and you must use only one version for seo.

1. Add the following code into the .htaccess file. Be sure to substitute “example.com” with your own website information but touch nothing else.
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
   RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks

Hi ,

There is no rules for h2 and h3 tags as long as they make sense but h1 tag should be use only once.

Thanks
