Hi,

I have never had this issue in the past, but I am working on a website currently which is - http://hrfoundations.co.uk I didn't develop this website and the pages are in separate folders on the FTP which I have never come across before but hey ho.

Anyway I have added the search term (HR Consultancy West Midlands) to the about us page in the h1, title and description however when I run the On-Page Grader it only says that I have entered it within the body which I haven't even done yet.

When I view the page source it has defiantly been uploaded and the search terms are there, I have tried checking the spelling incase I spelt it incorrectly and I still can't seem to find the issue.

Has anyone else experience this in the past, I'm going to go away now and check the code for any unclosed divs etc to see if that may be causing any issue's.

Thanks

Chris

is the website hosted on a custom CMS or something like Wordpress?

I have looked into your website and I can't find those keywords so maybe it is just an error with the suggestions. The suggestions are great but they are never going to be 100% accurate.

I would just ignore then and add one's that you feel are more relevant.

Here is a good article for you to check out http://moz.com/blog/how-to-fix-crawl-errors-in-google-webmaster-tools

Yes that would be the best thing to do. Do you have any crawl errors within your google webmaster account ? Once you have redirected the links you can notify google via the webmaster tools as well which is always good to know.

Hi Dan,

Has the linked changed now? I have just checked out that link above and it doesn't appear to be working? I imagine you have changed the URL to get a boost on the search engines. I would recommend using a 301 redirect on that URL and point it to the new page.

If you need to know more about 301 redirects there is a great article here - http://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection

When I was first learning web design I used to love checking out websites such as Line 25 which provide tutorial's and showcase the latest coding techniques and trends. It may be worth getting some ideas from your local competition as well and gauge how other people are attracting users.

Sounds interesting, I would be interested in hearing other people's points of view, as far as I'm aware it wouldn't have a negative impact on SEO and I can't work out why it would.

Do you have an example of the page you are hosting the infographic on ?

I don't think you will get a better answer than Williams I was going to say pretty much exactly the same.

When you say Facebook stop sending her stuff out what do you mean? are the followers all genuine as well and are you sure that another company hasn't gone ahead and purchased any Likes for the page. Purchased likes are cheap as chips these day's and you will find that you get an influx of likes but you never get any Likes or post engagement with these because they are generally just fake accountants controlled by bots.

I would look into 301 redirects, 404 errors are from broken links i.e. blog posts or pages may have been deleted but the link is still indexed by the search engines so you will need to redirect the links to existing content.

There are a number of way's in which to add 301 redirects you can add them into your .htaccess file or some large CMS systems have plugins, I know Wordpress has a plugin called Simple 301's.

I would recommend checking out this article about SEO redirection - http://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection

I hope that helps.

ah ok looks like I still need to look into this further, if you do find anything I would love to hear how you can achieve it as I think it would be a useful technique to implement in some projects.

Here is the article where this was taken from - http://perishablepress.com/tell-google-to-not-index-certain-parts-of-your-page/

This is a good question and something I haven't looked into. From articles I've read I think this may be what you are searching for.

 <code>This is normal (X)HTML content that will be indexed by Google.

This (X)HTML content will NOT be indexed by Google.</code> 

Here is the link to Disavow ! https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main

Yer it's best not to bloat your HTML with to many Spans etc just have the relevant HTML tags. Try the technique that Chris above mentioned.

I didn't know about that in Word thanks for that advice as well Chris !

I would recommend pasting the Word text into the text editor built into the CMS unless it has a specific import from Word option like in Wordpress.

It can add random bits of text and code, it may not also wrap text in

tags so Google may not detect that paragraph of text, the same applies for headings such as

and

. You can still usually revert back to the visual editor after pasting the code into the text editor mode if you want to format it.

I have noticed underneath rogerbot you have dissallow change it to

User-agent: rogerbot

Allow: /

Then let me know how you get on crawling the home page.

No problem, I will have a look into that issue for you now it does seem strange.

In order to allow crawlers to to access the site, you would need to either remove the / after Disallow or change Disallow to Allow.

If you specifically want to allow the Moz crawler, you can insert the following directive above the current directive that is in the .htaccess

User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow:
