Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Absolutely,

I would also suggest being wary of Google's EMD update. If you don't have a domain with quality content, it won't rank you high just because you have the keyword in the URL.

Here's something I wanted to do. Use Google Hangouts for a webinar.

No only is it free, but it can boost your Google+ presence and brand awareness.

No problem, Moz can highlight duplicate content for you. Run a crawl diagnostic and review the report.

There is no doubt in my mind, search engines will get smarter and punish those who abuse the system.

It's been the norm since the beginning, from keyword stuffing to exact match-domains. Eventually search engines will catch up and punish. When this happens, you'll be in the deep hole trying to recover rather than strengthen.

My advice would be to go down the correct route for tagging product pages. I don't think an author tag is right for a product page, but introduce breadcrumbs, prices, ratings and product images. Last thing you want are users clicking on your page and leaving.

If I wanted to buy a laptop and saw the face of an author who wrote that page, that's a WTF moment for me. Instead, show me a screenshot of a laptop, the price range, number of reviews and the breadcrumb structure...yeah, I'm clicking that.

What i'm trying to say is that, rather than focusing on the competitor and mimicking, focus on your customer and what best would turn them from newbie to a returnee.

• Have you seen websites use double dashes?

A single dash has become norm and users read it and use it that way, but a double dash is outside the norm in my opinion and you could end up with a lot of incorrect backlinks. A customer might type the URL with a single dash and end up with a 404 page for instance.

Hey, I had the same question and got some good answers, check out my post

Let's say they do, but does that mean you stand a better chance to rank higher than a competitor who uses hyphens? If hyphens represent spaces, and a user searches chanel number 5, doesn't that mean a website that has the url chanel-number-5.html might rank better than chanelnumber5.html.

Similar to a human, it would be easier to read chanel-number-5 than chanelnumber5.

So even if the bot reads a url without a hyphen, a competitor with a hyphen might edge out.

That's my two cents

I noticed in the latest Yoast newsletter that they are releasing themes in February. I'm a big fan of the Yoast SEO pluggin so his themes might be something to look into as well. No doubt, they will be seo focused.

Here's an online link to the newsletter http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=ffa93edfe21752c921f860358&id=958ca84faa&e=6d12308613

Hope that helps

What does Moz's crawl diagnostics say about your website say? I see simple things like a meta description missing from your new page http://www.mobile-tronics.com/mobile-tv-stands/

• Do you have duplicate content? Thin content?

Also:

• Can Google crawl your site by using "Fetch as Googlebot" in Google Webmaster Tools?
• Check your logs to confirm Googlebot is crawling your site. site:mobile-tronics.com shows just over 1000 pages, is this correct? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3Amobile-tronics.com&oq=site%3Amobile-tronics.com&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58.1505j0j4&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8

From my experience, change always happens..

• People might request a change in URL structure (then it will lead to 301 redirects and setting them up)
• It's better to let Google crawl a rich page than a weak page. When it comes to ecommerce sites, you don't want "page not found" as the product hasn't been published but its category page is done. If the sitemap leads to broken pages - well, customers won't like it, so don't expect bots to do either.
• I would work on your ecommerce site, get it done in preview and all ready to go. You can also setup things like Google Webmaster Tools, Bing Webmaster tools, ensure your sitemap is ready, url structure is fine and get it ready.

So my advice is to set it up and then launch. You don't want to end up "fixing" your website post launch.  Here's another way to look at it.. your credit score - it's easier to work on building a good credit score, than having to fix a bad one. SEO is the same.
