Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for your response, the number of KWs quoted already excluded, alt tags,  images, titles etc, so the 15 KW's are else where on the page !

Its still a mystery my site is www.over50choices.co.uk

Hi we launched our site in June this year built using DNN - I have just used Moz's On page Grader for several pages and whilst it shows the KW in the URL, Titles, Meta Description, ALt Tag, it also says that I have 15 KWs in the body of this particular page and yet when i eye ball the page it only shows 8.

Is this because of the templated navigation of the site. ie this KW also shows in the nav structure of other pages that are listed in  the left hand nav menu?

If this is correct will Google think that I am stuffing my page with too many KWs?

Any solutions?

Thanks

Ash

Thanks Christy

I think its becoming clearer.........so much info around on the subject!

Hi Chris thanks for your response.

I guess my dilemma has been that because to a large extent I am the brand, what I do & say also effects the brand (i dont mean the really personal stuff, like going on hols etc), my concern with sign posting my blogs just on my personal G+ Account has been that the brand followers will not see them or is this a non issue?

Will duplicating them on both accounts overcome or should i have a clear distinction between them?

Thanks

Ash

Hi so I have both accounts set up, I use my business g+ for sign posting my new blog posts & latest news. I have Authorship set up on my Blog and that is working fine.

I am personally v much a large part of the brand, www.over50choices.co.uk and have my face on the home page and most social property, so when i do use my G+, FB & Twitter accounts, whilst they are the business accounts, its lead by me.

So just what do I use my G+ Persoanl Account for?

I have read that i should either share or duplicate the my updates on both accounts, but will that look like duplication?

I dont have many G+ followers currently but intend to develop this in the next few months, so its important that I get this right if i am to optimise my activity?

Your help appreciated.

Ash

Thanks Peter

When we launched we wanted to present content first & then "buy" later so your comments support this, although there is a temptation of course to stray from this in order  to build traffic quicker!

We have moved from about page 9 to page 2 & 3 of some of our key words and rising weekly, i just need to keep telling myself we have only been live 3 months!

Hopefully with the tweaks we are making shortly with some of  your pointers it shoudl all add value

Many thanks

Ash

Hi Peter that's v helpful thank you for your advice.

We are about to change the non searchable graphics to searchable text blocks shortly.

We are just going through an exercise of reviewing the changes we need to make to make the on page optimisation smarter now that things have settled down following launch a few months ago.

your comments about making the copy more over 50s is v timely,!

Do anchor texts in the body text score greater internal google juice than ones in the Quick Links ie the right hand side bar, as we're planning on rewriting some of the text to weave some in pointing to some of our key value pages?

Thanks

Ash

Hi my site www.over50choices.co.uk is 4 months old and I wondered whether my "Quick Links" section (right hand column) on 95% of my pages with the same/similar anchor text was not best practice ie should I vary the anchor text & the target locations more? ( they tend to point to my top 6 pages)

They were set up originally to make the customer experience easy to find things but from what i have read Google doesnt like too many links looking the same !

I also have 3 Graphics (cross sales messages) just above the foot of most (not the home page) pages, linking to my 3 key value pages, all with similar Alt Text tags, again should i vary the alt text or is not a good idea to have this type of link on every page?

What is best practice, as i am trying to balance the visual/customer experience whilst optimising for search?

Thanks
Ash

Meant to ask, so as it stands or even if i redirect as suggested, i am not losing any google juice having some back links pointing to to the trailing / or non trailing version?

Ash

Thanks Everett that's made it v clear.

Much appreciated

Ash

Hi Im struggling with this probably easy concept, so I am sure one of you guys out there can answer it fairly easy!

My website is over50choices.co.uk and whilst using the free tools in Majestic it said that I had:

77 Referring Domains pointing to www.over50choices.co.uk and only 35 pointing to www.over50choices.co.uk/

And in Moz it said:

The URL you've entered redirects to another URL. We're showing results for www.over50choices.co.uk/ since it is likely to have more accurate link metrics. See data for over50choices.co.uk instead?

Does this mean that my domains arent set up correctly and are acting as separate domains - should one be pointing to the other?

Your help appreciated.

Ash

Hi Oren its a personal finance brand www.over50choices.co.uk, I am the face of the brand as we want to build credibility from my 30 years in the industry.

The question is, do I build my personal profile or company brand profile?

I blog, I tweet, I facebook, I G+, I use LinkedIn, I have accounts with other social media platforms and I am still not sure whether the most effective route to drive traffic is to use my personal or brand profile!

My face is v much part of the brand (launched June2013), I have a Disqus account in the brand name and i have joined other communities in both brand & personal names - it occurred to me whether I am diluting my overall "authority" by using both.

It also occurred to me that when signing up to new forums by using my brand Twitter account to register this will leave all comments as the brand, when perhaps others will be looking for a "real person"?

Previous advice sometime ago was to use both, but I wondered whether expert thinking had moved on?

Thanks

Ash

Hi no this isn't what I meant, I have authorship sorted.

i think I read on Copyblogger that it was a good tactic to re post your blogs on google plus without google penalising you for duplicate copy, in order to engage your google plus following rather than just drop a link ?

ash

I have read from an authorative source that you can duplicate your blog posts on your google plus account without issues as google knows that this is your 'property'.

is this correct and what would be the value in doing so?

until we have need sign posting new blog posts with a link.

Ash

Thank Everett thats really helpful.

I must admit i do wonder whether i have split out too many pages that could be combined, I think when i launched this version of the site in June, i was trying to focus a core keyword per page, with plurials etc, as i didnt think google would in the example you used pick up funeral planning & funeral plans as connected - god this job is hard sometimes!

Ash

Thanks Tom

Ash

Oh and meant to ask, do you mean the sub folders PostId & 77 in the example below?

http://www.over50choices.co.uk/Community/Ashleys-Blog/PostId/77/scratching-your-head-over-life-insurance.aspx

Ash

HI Tom thanks for getting back to me.

I was prompted to ask the question because we have google alerts set up for our keywords eg funeral plans and we never show on the list of daily Blogs for these words?

Do they need to be "anchored or in the title" to show or should google just pick them up?

Ash

I have a blog as part of my site http://www.over50choices.co.uk/Community/Ashleys-Blog.aspx and has been live for approx 10 weeks, but i dont think google recognises is yet as a Blog.

Is there anything that i can do to speed this up?

We have posted about 25 posts.

Thanks
Ash
