Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Rez you gotta consider a few things.

When looked at the site structure and AI of your site you have to think about the Juice flow as a funnel. More Juice to the top distributed less juice to the bottom. So for shopping cart pages or product pages ( depending on how deep they are ), i usually incorporate Long tail , targeted keywords ( ie: Mimi Juie baby sippy cups ) where the volume is not much but its targeted enough that even with a limited juice flow you can rank.

My initial suggestion to you was to contact the person or company that built the shopping cart in order to remove the link. ( THAT IS MY FIRST OPTION ). I would not do a no follow to the product page. ( dont do anything crazy like that ) Specially if you have Share bar options for your products and reviews etc. ( you will lose all that ) .

LAST OPTION for you should be to do a robot.txt to ONLY that link, NOT the page.

Again please understand you should not DEVALUE your page like that .

Hope this helps.

Let me know how it turns out

Not what my sepr shows in the us. but is AU yes you are right. You have 80% of the share space on the first three pages. I guess there is not enough competition for that specific keyword query.

On my search you dont show up anywhere on the first page.

Only one conclusion.

google is recognizing your query as a Branded search since your website name and url is deb dress. Accompanied by low competition if might do that . ie: its like doing a search for Bizdetox my companies name. All you will find is info about my company and my pages.

Btw what has your keyword research show you in AU in regards to "deb dress style guide"

Also just check your keyword in Google Keyword Tools. It doesnt even show any traffic so of course your going to show up.

More and more i look it looks like a very unique branded search

Yes Agreed. I guess its a waiting game for him to see how effective it has been placed.

But in my instances rel=canonical always solved the problem for dup content.

Thanks Darin

Rez.

You should be able to remove that sitewide link from your shopping cart. I had a similar situation with a joomla site i did that had a sitewide link situation on the product page of  JoomShopping and you can purchase to remove it. Unfortunately thats the way it is. Take a look at the help files or forums of the shopping cart site. What shopping cart is it?

If you cannot remove it, then robots.txt is the best way i would NOT do a no follow to that page. Unless you dont care about the data or care about getting ranked for those pages. But you are saying its site wide.

So i am a little confused on that.

Hope it helps.

David. You took the word right out of my mouth !

Before i read your response my guess was Virtual office right off the bat.

But there are a few other things you need to do.

1. get your citations on your website in order. You must display the address of the virtual office and phone number for the austin city. But take a look at how powerful and well ranked that keyword is first before you proceed might not be a good idea.  you also need to place a site-wide footer on all your pages of your site.

2. Go to getlisted.org or yext.com and manage your citation.

What you can do is make a secondary office in austin as your virtual office .

hope this helps

Yes, how long ago did you set this?

Has google since indexed your page

I am not sure i understand the question correctly.

SEO Credit for what exactly?

The only SEO you can do with you tube is in Meta Data, Categories and Name of the video.

Can you further explain what you mean ?

Because as far as i know if the site is not providing you direct link to your website ie: anchor text or sub link in the body of the page that is displaying the video, then you wont really get any link credit per say except people watching your video on the youtube page and linking to your site.

Let me know

Darin has a good point. Set your preferences

Also Rel=canonical

Darin if i am not mistaken maybe you can shed some light , dont both pages still get indexed even if its redirected with a 301? I am sure a rel=canonical will solve the issue !

Hi Gerjan, YOU dont need Google to tell you if your links are bad, you can find out yourself and disavow it or try to get it taken off.

IE: if you have been doing linking building for a while you probably want to clean up your backlink profile and get ride of those small links that dont matter, or with a little research you can definitely find out if links are hurting your ranking. ie: links that dont make sense, guest post that have no reason being there.

For example i have a gentleman who is an seo company like me and he is vying for the same keyword as i am and he has a link to a guest post he did to a physical therapy blog?? what that has anything to do with SEO blows my mind, But hey better late then never, clean it up.

After All its not about the size but the motion . if you know what i mean .

Put propriety value to your good links, but it is not the end all be all of everything.

Kristian. A few things i think this would play off of would be

A. Your keyword research. ( The page that had the title " State Job " what is the keyword you are trying to rank for on that page ") It would really matter.

B. Run the Url you are getting the link from through open site explorer and take a look at the link juice . Age of site. etc.

Ideally you want the .gov link to link to your homepage to pass the most juice, but it really matters on your keyword research. If the State job page is not far deep into the Linking Architecture of your site it should be fine.

.GOV links are important links so maximize your efforts.

Ask yourself where would it benefit your more. If the answer is to your homepage then , Maybe do a blog roll on the home page that references State Jobs. i.e.: if your homepage visually and with body context is about left say construction jobs, it wouldnt be a good idea to link it to the homepage. Unless the .Gov site is specifically talking about Contractor jobs.

I hope i was clear.

Let me know some of the info so i can further help you out

Best Wishes, & Happy Holidays

E.

Thanks for your input. I thought as well that the Sub directory would be the best idea, but i am still concerned about the link integrity that follows along with the new site. He had mentioned that the site was 4 years old, thats enough time to rank. Would you agree on doing a back link check and only transferring the urls that make the most sense?

How would your approach be?

Thanks again.

Not a good idea . You are talking about a site with age of site over 10 years and plus some back link history and you want to 301 that ? Or you want to 301 the new site to old . I guess I would have to say it all is based on the traffic and linking structure . Don't mess with the integrity of the old domain by transferring in unwanted links Here are your options 1. Completely forget about the new domain ( I still don't understand why there is two domains to begin with ) 2. 301 redirect new domain to old one . ( do link research on new domain and disavow unwanted links ) 3. Make a sub directory on your old domain . ( ie: webshops.brandedsite.com) the you can 301 to this new directly and make sure all content is unique on each page . If you 301 and ur content is duplicate on your own domain ( it is not as much as a big deal ) as your site being indexed is going to be on the same site map. 4. Pour a glass of Jameson neat. And flip a coin . Hope this helps Let me know if you have any other questions . Best wishes Hampig M BizDetox

• Citations. :    Check out Yext.com  or getlisted.org Make sure thats in order . Both awesome sites. ( Google not on the list , so you must do that separately )

• Address, phone number on Every page of your site :  Site wide footer.

• YELP is a must these days. A lot of traffic is directed through there. It also depends on your business, I mean what is the your local business about

• Geo Target keywords. : For example:  Car insurance :  try geo targeting your keyword list. :  los angeles car insurance or even deeper. Tarzana Car insurance. It all depends on your keyword research..

• DEF. Local Chamber or commerce. Good link value specially if they are popular, and look for Keyword centric guest posting. Forums Etc.  But also try to connect with other local business's.

Hope this helps. I would start with these get them in order, then you can dig deeper.

A few questions.

1. where do you rank currently for Physician Loans and Doctor Loans on google?

2. when did you use the Disavow tool

3. Did you get a questionable link email from google webmaster tools?

I would try to put more content on the page. you dont have much . ie: Blog.

A few things missing:

* Citation on every page. You need to make sure you have your address and phone number on every page. ( Site wide footer can do the job )

* Citations across the web. Check out Getlisted.org and make sure all the local search directories have all your information. You can also use yext.com ( The best tool out there right now but it will cost you )

* No Blog? why?

* No Social Media . why?

is this your facebook page

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Doctor-loan-usa-reviews/103958646433000

After you get that in order and rankings don't improve my best guess is there is a link that is pointing to your site thats  bad link and you havent removed it. I would contact Webmaster tools and try to get more help from them ?

But let me know the answers to my questions

hey guys maybe someone can shed some light.

why do i have to only input 5 words at a time in Keyword Analysis Tool rather then just inputing my Keyword list and getting the moz score for each one.

ie: if i am initially just looking for the mozscore and nothing else?

Any input?

Mod rewrite .. DEF.....

I am not Familiar with miva but i am guessing they have a good support from the looks of it

http://extranet.mivamerchant.com/forums/forum.php

I would definitely try their support if you havent.

But you should definitely have an option ......

First  question.

Tummy tuck is a unique procedure in itself i am guessing, so using NY in the title would benefit you a lot. For example just speaking generally, if you use a deep target keyword such as , albany-ny-tummy-tuck , You might be limited on the traffic you get but will be good traffic. Vs using ny-tummy-tuck. My personal experience, specially dealing with unique niche items, I think a person from manhattan would want to go to albany to get a tummy tuck. So that being said a broader net for that keyword would be awesome.

Side Notes:

A. you need to use your company info " full address " on every page. Either site wide footer to be indexed or text on every page.

B. To benefit best for that local based seo signal you need to make sure all your citations are in order. Use yext.com. AWESOME time saving and a must if you want to compete locally. Or you can manually make the changes but does take a lot of time.

Second question, i would recommend looking at what is the most traffic driven long tail or medium size keyword that would benefit you and put that as close to the main directory as possible.

ie: Home/ Procedure / Tummy Tuck .

It would awesome if you can post your current Site structure and maybe we can help you structure it better,

Hope it helps

Hey Ryan , thanks for your input.

Ya i gave that information based on your stats on Seomoz being an oracle and all.  and with all intent, the password is not an issue.

I know its a mess because i am working on it and i am not a professional and i will start deleting the filed i dont need.

But it is the overwhelming content thats causing the issue?

or is it joomshopping?

Ryan thanks for an awesome advice and helping out here.

I emailed you the images since it was easier hope you dont mind.

Btw they are same type of pages Jmshopping category page . but still the Alias override should still work no?

Anyway I send the images to you . Config option, menu pages. ( which are Rings and Rings/Cobalt rings.

I also included the login info for the admin
