Welcome to the Q&A Forum

It uses personalization.  Clear cache and cookies and try again - or add &pws=0 to the URL.

I use Google Chrome in "incognito mode" in XP environment along with CC Cleaner - it gives me accurate SERP everytime.

1. Too short

2. Too many pointless characs

3. Too long + too many repetitions

Remember the max length of 70 characs. in TITLE (this is 69:)

Mussoorie Hotels & Resorts | Luxury Budget & Economical Accommodation

But why waste characs. on IE "Luxury" and "Economical" if no one search for it in relation to Mussoorie?

Dont repeat Mussoorie to much. Spread out in TITLE, DESC and H1 + paragraphs.

It seems "cheap" and "deals" is well searched, along with: "hotel" + "lodging" (sorry, dont really know the different meaning of lodging) + "packages" and "honeymoon" ;o)

Oh - and read this: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/title-tag

I've found no evidence that a site will get punished for using frames - but google will only read the framed link, not the content of it. So the page need its own on-page content, otherwise pages will be marked as "duplicate content".

I would definitely use both title and a paragraph in the iframe-tag to describe the content, to avoid the duplicate content issue.

Well - i'm not really sure. Seomoz is at the moment so faulty that i cant trust the data i see.

Domain authority is off with 10-15%

Crawls show 0 errors or extremly high amount of errors, and doesnt read robots.txt

Data dissappear all the time. Im reconsidering my membership.

With the data fluctuation you see here, you dont know if something went wrong with your site or with seomoz. So once or twice a month i need to go through everything - and so far the problem has been seomoz ...

Start by visiting your Google Webmaster Tools account and read (and deal with) any messages from Google!

If you start from zero, make sure to deal with all "three legs" (1.Text, 2.Technical stuff and 3.Links)  of SEO and find a good IRTA guide or hire professionals.

The meta description tag has lost some of its power, SEO-wise. So you don't need to fill it with keywords - but rather focus on selling your product. The title is still so useful for seo that you need to focus on keywords there, but the description is where you take your customers by the hand and say: come here, let me show you that we got what you need. Think about the AIDA-text model (google it): Attention Interest Desire Action If you can boil all this into your description in 155 characters - your doing better than fine! But don't promise too much. We all hate having customers that open the door to our shop, take a glance from the doorway and shut the door again from the outside. You need the window-display (SERP) to be realistic! And no, to answer your question short: Don't add a "CLICK HERE!" at the end of your description. You should rather "write it in" like: "Find the most sexy dress that makes you the center of attention from handsome gentlemen, right here at Dressmakers Co." SORRY! After editing linebreaks got all weird!

I would definitely use the alt text. But i would try to avoid keyword stuffing by only using the type/kind of wood in the picture:

alt="Californian Oak"

alt="Canadian Walnut"

alt="Japanese Cherry"

But is this for a gallery a shop or...? There's a major difference in what would be interesting for the customer to know about the images.

And perhaps you will find this discussion interesting!

I've done just that a couple of times now? You guys tend to give me the "everything is great"-reply and that just doesn't do it for me. I have, at time of typing, 5 unsolved issues with seomoz: 1) I can't add more than one twitter account to compare against. 2) Seomoz is not reading/understanding my robots.txt 3) Seomoz is crawling pages with "nofollow noindex"-tags. 4) The last two weeks ranking report is identical. If I gain +6 on a term two weeks in a row, I cannot keep being #32 on that term, right? 5) crawling of my campaigns are inaccurate and sometimes it returns with just 1 page crawled. I think I had the "perhaps your site was down"-email a couple of times now. 6) Video-results not showing correctly Could you guys stop guessing and tell me what is wrong? You think my server was down? You think I can add more twitter accounts? You think my robots.txt might be corrupted ... Try proving something. Show me! Send me a screenshot, a snippet from your log. I'm running out of excuses to keep paying for faulty seomoz.org. And it is sad, because I love the tools if they work like they are supposed to. But you guys are so busy closing threads with questions about your faulty product , that you don't have time to fix the issues you should be focusing on.

Thanks again. Will try to email seomoz

Actually i found the answer on the rankings-page help section. I use my competitors domainname without www.

Adding the prefix fixed it!

HI Shaun

Most online shops have a "read more..."-link on their productspages that reveals the boring parts.

We use this on a few otherwise very text-lenghty pages. Google have not taken notice on the change, and text is still indexed nicely.

/Alsvik

Rel=canonical for duplicate entries to the same pages. You could, if possible on your server, add no follow, noindex to all but one active URL for the same page - or use redirects ...

Hi It is not possible using the seomoz.org webpage. But perhaps, as a paying customer, you could write help@seomoz.org and ask them to duplicate the report to a different campaign ... Or at least leave a request for this. It could come in handy for others!

No SE will recognize the meta description as duplicate content, as long as it's only a part of the meta description that is not unique from page to page. We are using the same aproach, adding the same line in the end of our meta description on most of our pages. You see this a lot with "free shipping", "web-discount" etc.

Hi Christian Kirkegaard

You should read this article:

http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.se/2010/09/unifying-content-under-multilingual.html

1. Why is only one (1) page crawled every second time you crawl my site?

2. Why do your bot not obey the rules specified in the robots.txt?

3. Why does your site constantly loose connection to my facebook account/page? This means that when ever i want to compare performance i need to re-authorize, and therefor can not see any data until next time. Next time i also need to re-authorize ...

4. Why cant i add a competitor twitter account? What ever i type i get an "uh oh account cannot be tracked" - and if i randomly succeed, the account added never shows up with any data.

It has been like this for ages. If have reported these issues over and over again.

We are part of a large scandinavian company  represented by Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. The companies are also part of a larger worldwide company spreading across England, Ireland, Continental Europe and Northern Europe. I count at least 10 accounts on Seomoz.org

We, the Northern Europe (4 accounts) are now reconsidering our membership at seomoz.org.  We have recently expanded our efforts and established a SEO-community in the larger scale businees spanning all our countries. Also in this community we are now discussing the quality of your services. We'll be meeting next time at 27-28th of june in London.

I hope i can bring some answers that clarify the problem we have seen here on seomoz.org. As i have written before: I love your setup and you tools - when they work. Regretebly, that is only occasionally the case!

It seems good enough!

Url contains the two keywords.

Headline with the two keywords.

Catering counted 12 times

Corporate counted 4 times

Correct and good use og rel=next/prev/canonical/alternate

And meta description is no good for SEO, but good for attracting users at SERP.

As long as the onclick elements doesn’t change where the user goes and just track clicks, there shouldn’t be any problems. As long as the href= is in place you’ll be fine with the javascript in the link.

Have you changed the preffered domain suffix in GWT? If you exclude one of the two (domain.com or www.domain.com) google will not register duplicate pages/content on ie /etc And add a redirect from domain.com to www.domain.com That should fix the issue

If you just allow the link to go 404, google will notice that you have a fault on your site - and no juice will be passed from the linking part. If Google is the one ranking your page, sending you customers and perhaps (as in our case) gives you 30% of your customers online -Then you dont want them to see any faults on your site!

If you 301, juice will be passed and you have the chance to present interesting stuff for the users (potential customers) that have clicked the link ...

Good links are hard to get, so you should nurture them. Make sure they reach a related page/product - add a 301-text message serverside, telling the potential customer that this merchandise is out of stock, not produced anymore or whatever reason. Depending on your company-type, make it personal: "Hi. Sorry we're aout of stock on this product. Sorry. Regards Tina, Salesmanager (add image)"

Google gave you GWT for a reason. Make sure you weekly take care of faults listed in there, and take them serious. Dont bite the hand that feeds you ;o)

I dont know the structure of your site, but we did some serverside-301-automatics, redirecting old product-pages to nearest avaiable product:

/travel/spain/mallorca/alcudia/non-existing-hotel -->

/travel/spain/mallorca/alcudia

On single info-pages we found relevant pages. All redirects came with a 301-message displayed on page, telling customers why we send them somewhere else.

I just got spammed with 406 errors. Seomoz suddenly found 390 of these on my site (all png, jpg and pdf).

I have changed nothing on my site and GWT shows none of these. So i'm thinking that the Seomoz-crawler maybe doing something wrong ...

It all boils down to trust. I trust GWT (it may be slow though).
