Hi Kevin,

Honestly these types of little things don't have much of a factor in SE algorithms.

Yes you can use it pipe, hyphen, comma . It may potentially impact the user experience and the Click-Through-Rate. I personally prefer to use pipe & hyphen.

Thanks

Hi Lehia,

I have checked your website and I found that you are doing on page terribly wrong, you cannot use same meta title/same keyword on two different URL.

Home page meta title and Uluru tours (http://www.uluru.travel/uluru-tours/) have almost same meta title.

You should target 'Uluru tours' for one URL only so it is better to target for URL - http://www.uluru.travel/uluru-tours/

First I would like to advice you to first go through SEO basic so you can understand things very well then you can implement on your website .

Here is one of the best SEO tutorial for beginners @ https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo

Hope this helps.

Hi Stevens,

IMO you should use .co.uk because most of the sales are coming from UK. I was in the same situation few years back and I found people clicked more on .co.uk domain. Several visitors doesn't click on .com domain in SERPs because they think that sites belongs to USA.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Im having the same issue - no update since 27/01/15. I've just checked and there's a yellow note at the top of the page saying they (Moz) are a little behind in gathering the data.

I guess Moz have had a high server load/ issues this week. If no update in the next few days I'd contact support.

Hi,

Google auto suggest reflects the user intent or you can also use soovle.com to know popular search query related to your keywords.

Hi,

According to Dr. Peter J. Meyers "I’d say to use rel=canonical on the home-page, known duplicates, and any pages with parameters that could drive duplicate content, and leave the rest alone."

Here is full article @ https://moz.com/blog/rel-confused-answers-to-your-rel-canonical-questions

According to Yoast

"At Yoast, we have a strong preference for having a canonical link element on every page and Google has confirmed that’s best. The reason is that most CMSes will allow URL parameters without changing the content. So all of these URLs would show the same content:

if you don’t have a self-referencing canonical on the page that points to the cleanest version of the URL, you risk being hit by this stuff. Even if you don’t do it yourself, someone else could do this to you and cause a duplicate content issue. So adding a self-referencing canonical to URLs across your site is a good “defensive” SEO move. Luckily for you, our Yoast SEO plugin does this for you."

Yes for wordpress use rel="canonical" for all pages.

Thanks

Hi Becky,

Completely agreed with Andy's suggestion.I  would like to add one more thing here I'm also working on a large e-commerce site with thousands of products. I find a good way to insert alt tag very easily I asked web developer to create a module by which every products having alt tag with product name and web developer did a great job by writing only few lines of code. you can ask web developer to do the same.

Now I don't need to add alt tag individually on each product and it saves my time.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Navneet,

Google changes meta tags because Google tries to show the result that is most specifically relevant to your search but  your case is different Google showing open directory projects title and description.
In order to showing correct title use "

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I would never suggest to do generate Ads using script because by using that I don't think you can create effective Ad copy. But you asked about the script so I am providing the script with details how to use that but not sure whether it is paid or unpaid, haven't used ever. you can check yourself.

Hi,

I am sharing answer given by Miriam Ellis (a moz staff) on exact query.

"In order to qualify for local inclusion, avoid penalties and prevent merging, your client must be able to answer yes to the following 3 points.

1) Does the business have a unique, dedicated physical address (not a virtual address, P.O. Box or shared address)?

2) Does the business have a unique, dedicated local phone number in the city of location (not an 800 number, not a call tracking number, not a shared number)

3) Does the business have in-person transactions with its customers, either at its own location (like a restaurant) or at the customers' locations (like a plumber)?

If the business does not meet any one of these 3 criteria, it does not qualify for local inclusion. I don't know where your client is at on points 2 and 3, but if they can't say yes to point one, Local SEO will be nothing but problematic for them. Here's why:

If 2 or more businesses share an address, suite address or phone number (or even if their names are too similar), Google will frequently merge the business details of the listings. This means that Joe the Barber can end up with Jim the Plumber's business name, phone number or reviews showing up on his listing. Merging is one of the most difficult issues to deal with in Local, and one to be avoided at all costs.

Here is a Google help file on this issue: http://support.google.com/places/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=175290

Your client's best hope is to:

1. Secure a unique suite number in the building at which he/she works and at which mail can be received.

2. Search for all citations of the business web-wide to correct any existent citations so that they include the new suite number.

Hi,

In your website meta tag is creating dynamically by searching in website search box. I am sorry to say that but its terrible because when I opened first url mentioned in question showing Nokia lumia mobile phones on searching 'sharp split AC 1.5 ton' .It means your website product search also not working.

I have searched 'Buckingham Palace' and please do check the meta title.

http://www.gobol.in/catalogsearch/result/?q=Buckingham+Palace&category=&x=16&y=9

'Buy Buckingham Palace Online: Browse Best Buckingham Palace Results: Gobol Electronics India'

Second thing I don't understand what is the use of creating dynamic meta tag on users search query .Does it help in SEO? I don't think so.

First you have to stop creating dynamic meta tags on search query otherwise you will get endless such error.

Thanks

Hi,

Google never reveal that but yes it is a ranking signal. I'm quoting from Moz

"Usability and user experience are second order influences on search engine ranking success. They provide an indirect but measurable benefit to a site's external popularity, which the engines can then interpret as a signal of higher quality. This is called the "no one likes to link to a crummy site" phenomenon."

You can read full post here @ https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/how-usability-experience-and-content-affect-search-engine-rankings

Hope this helps.

Hi Swendt,

I presume you know that the meta description is not a ranking factor in Google but indirectly yes because meta description is mainly used to increase CTR. If CTR would improve ranking will also improve.

Now coming to your question

If your business name is a single word like Microsoft then I will go to second option with first alphabet in capital & if your business name is two word keyword like 'Wall Street' I will go for first option.

I hope it helps you.

Thanks
