Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey thanks for the response. I am back at #7 so I guess it was just temporary. But don't you think it makes sense that using the same keyword in the Title for the rest of the site would take away importance from the home page??

I am working on an e-commerce website with Volusion. I have 1 main keyword that I am really trying to focus on for my home page. Last week I was in position #7 for this keyword, and I have never been off the first page of Google for it. Using Volusion you can Globally set a Title and meta description for any pages that do not already have a  title or description. I noticed my Global title had the same keyword as I was using for my home page and thought that, that might be taking away some importance from my keyword, so I changed the Global Title to a different keyword.

When I looked at my SEO moz rankings today, which crawled last night it said My keyword was #24 on Google. I checked and as of now I am in position #11.

Like I said before, I have never not been on the first page for this keyword. Does anyone think that changing the Global title may have been the cause for this??

There is no way I can create 1 page for all of the products. They already have different flavors and all the prices are different. I can definitely stress the sizes for title and meta tags, but unfortunately all of the directions are the same, descriptions for product flavors the same, and customer benefits are the same. If you guys want take a look at the website it is www.petsspark.com. And here is the link to the products http://www.petsspark.com/Tear-Stain-Eliminators-s/1822.htm

One of the e-commerce websites I am working on is giving me a lot of duplicate content errors because all of the products are the same, just different sizes.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem or should i just ignore it?

Someone in the office brought up the idea to just use an i frame for all product descriptions.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys. This was helpful, we decided to just go ahead with the original plan and change the domain.

We are re-doing a clients e-commerce website. Before I had entered them on SEO moz we had decided to change their domain name to one with a keyword inside. I had not known that they had an online marketing company previous working for them. They have a domain authority of 42 right now.

It would be a horrible idea to switch their domain right? I looked at some of the links, they all have a variety of good anchor text. But alot of the links are coming from sites or directory categories that are not relative.

We are also planning on doing 301 re-directs for the links. But this will not transfer the domain authority to the new domain right?

Any thoughts?

Thanks guys

I have a lot of text for my home page. My plan is to a J Query Plugin for accordion text. Does anyone think that this can hurt SEO efforts?

I hired http://www.manualsocialbookmarking.com/ to take care of social bookmarking for one of my clients. I am finally starting to see the links created from this with my keyword as the anchor text in SEO Moz. I know that they are not "great" links, but my keyword is doing very well (fluctuating between #1 and #2 on Google).

I don't feel like hiring this company hurt my SEO, but I am scared to do i for any of my other clients (especially because of the penguin update).

Does anyone have any thoughts? Is it work the risk to hire them again and get some links for my other clients?

SEO Moz has reported 7 of my keywords declined dramatically overnight. One word even went down 18 positions in Google. I have a few ideas on why, but none of them really make sence.

1.) The night before the decline I deleted around 6 "test pages" from our website. None of them could be reached through our website but they could be found by typing in the url. Most of these pages only said things like "test", but one of them was a draft of a keyword rich page within my website that only included some of the keywords that went down in ranking. Could the fact that I deleted this page be the cause of the ranking decline?

2.) About two weeks ago I purchased a url volusion-store-design.com which is one of my keywords and forward the address to an internal page within my website http://netonesystems.com/E-Commerce-Volusion-Store-Design. Could have this hurt my rankings, like Google is considering it duplicate content or something?

If anyone has some ideas please help.

Here are the keywords that I lost ranking for:

volusion developers ---- down 18

volusion features ----- down 5

volusion store design ----- down 2

volusion templates ------ down 11

volusion designers ------ down 4

free volusion templates ------ down 4

ecommerce volusion features ------ down 3

Here are the pages these keyword were pointing to:
