Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We have a new website on a new url (been up for around 2 years now) and our old website is slowly fading in the background, we are now at the point where the money is still ok but we are having issues running both side by side, we have a calculator on each page and are thinking about removing this and adding a box with please order from our new site here (with url of similar page).

Now the issue is we don't want to link for SEO purposes and google hammer us (thinking of no - following these) and we also have a penalty we got in 2012 on the site but we did get out of this, would this cause any issue to the new site?

We run a printing website www.fastprint.co.uk and have built a few decent tools such as

http://www.fastprint.co.uk/adobe-shortcut-mapper/

and decent infographics such as

http://www.fastprint.co.uk/blog/the-art-of-mixing-typefaces.html

and had a fair few decent links from website over the course of the last 1 1/2 but we do not seem to be moving very far?

If you take our site on sem rush (a decent percentage of our site traffic is through the above tools or decent blog posts so the number would be lower for E-commerce)

http://www.semrush.com/uk/info/fastprint.co.uk+(by+organic)?sort=volume_desc

in comparison to a few others

http://www.semrush.com/uk/info/banana-print.co.uk+(by+organic)]

http://www.semrush.com/uk/info/brunelone.com+(by+organic)

Especially this site

http://www.semrush.com/uk/info/instantprint.co.uk+(by+organic)

I just don't get what we are doing wrong?

Would content behind a drop down on this site

Https://www.homeleisuredirect.com/pool_tables/english_pool_tables/

you have to click the - more about English pool tables text under the video

Work just as well for SEO as content on the page like this site

http://www.pooltablesonline.co.uk/uk-slate-bed-pool-tables.asp

I have a website which has a fair few link assets that are doing very well (a lot of really powerful sites have link to them with follow links) but my commercial pages are not doing as well as a lot of sites without any other investment than (mediocre) links direct to there commercial pages with at least 10% of them carrying the money anchor text.

Even pages we have had a few links for with generalized real anchor text and reasonable links do not do as well as the above due to none of them carrying the money keyword?

Is it me or does google still rely on links to the commercial page and keywords with anchor text to match the money term?

Does a pop up like the one on this site www stressfreeprint co uk (top left corner about us, who we are) count as an external link or would link juice not flow to it.

I like to have a few pages that i don't want to waste link juice on but would still like to have them and hope this is the answer.

If we want to create a blog to keep in front of our customers (via email and posting on social) and the posts will be around 300 - 1000 words like this site http://www.solopress.com/blog/ are we going to be asking for a panda slap as the issue would be the very little shares and traction after the first day or two.

Also would panda only affect the blogs that are crap if we mix in a couple of really good posts or would it affect theses as well and possibly even the site?

Any help would be appreciated.

If we have swopped the keyword (leaflet printing) from this page http://www.fastprint.co.uk/leaflet-flyer-printing/

and moved it to http://www.fastprint.co.uk/

But the inner page is still ranking for the keyword is there a way to tell Google?

We own discount banner printing and we are trying to rank 1 for pvc banners or vinyl banners and cannot understand for example how the below is correct, we did suffer a link penalty years ago but we fixed this and the domain has some good links (more and better quality than the sites above us) and cannot understand how we rank below most of the sites above us?

If we type on for example pvc banners we get

http://www.bannershop.co.uk/cats/pvc_banners.htm

https://www.hfe-signs.co.uk/banners.php

http://bannerprintingandroid.co.uk/pvc-banners/

http://www.discountbannerprinting.co.uk/banners/vinyl-pvc-banners.html (our website)

And if we type in vinyl banners we get

http://www.vistaprint.co.uk/banners.aspx

http://www.bigvaluebanners.co.uk/

http://vinylbannersprinting.co.uk/

http://www.discountdisplays.co.uk/html/vinyl_banners.html

https://www.buildasign.co.uk/banners

http://www.monkey-print.com/outdoor banners/budget-outdoor-banners

http://www.discountbannerprinting.co.uk/banners/vinyl-pvc-banners.html (Our website)

Anyone we need a professional seo person to answer this one.

This is our website page http://www.discountbannerprinting.co.uk/banners/vinyl-pvc-banners.htm

If we have a pop up on our site and new customers have subscribed to get 5% off (which i believe shows intent) and they do not purchase would you contact them and find out why they have not purchased to get a better understanding of issues with the website, If so I believe it needs to be more than the standard email of further discount (for example receive an extra 10% discount) or standard do you need help email (we need to either talk direct with them or offer something for there help such as 50% off)

Any help would be appreciate in finding our pain points on the site www.fastprint.co.uk.

I am wondering if there is a tool to grab 10 - 20 or even 50 pages of urls from a particle search query on Google.

I have noticed that our website tool to get a quote does not work with active scripting disabled is this bad?

How many people have this disabled?

No the site is fully built can you see any more problems? I was considering what tom has said about setting up a canonical tag for the tabs and this has confirmed it for me - thanks tom

We own this site http://www.discountstickerprinting.co.uk/ and just a little concerned as I right clicked open in new tab on the tab content section and it went to a new page

For example if you right click on the price tab and click open in new tab you will end up with the url
http://www.discountstickerprinting.co.uk/#tabThree

Does this mean that our content is being duplicated onto another page?

If so what should I do?

I think the problem with this strategy is that you are at a big disadvantage compared to building links direct to the page, if we take for example you blog - how many links are on the page, now divide 100 / number of links on the page and this is how much power (%) you will gain compared to building the link direct.

The big gain with building links to a blog is that it looks more natural and with the right content can be much easier than a product page to build links, but it should be part of an overall strategy like most things in SEO.

We are trying to work out what the best structure for our blog is as we want each page to rank as highly as possible, we were looking at a flat structure similar to http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/ where every posts is after the blog/ but not in category's although the viewers can look in different category's from the top buttons on the page- photoshop - icons etc

or we where going to go for the structured way-  blog/photoshop/blog-post.html

the only problem is that we will end up 4 deep at least with this and at least 80 characters in the url.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Shaun

Why do most blog owners not put content that is unique to the home page above the fold before posts begin?

My question is in regards to ranking a blog under our domain www.xxx.co.uk/blog

If we are targeting pc blog should the home page have some content in the side bar or somewhere that stays there contantly.
