Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Dana! I have gone through screaming Frog what a great tool! Has mad life a lot easier and more structured for me

Thank you again!

awesome thanks so much great info!

Hi Dana,

Thank you so much for the info.

You can see we are thin in content.... I have worked on meta tags, title tags and h1 tags, but its hard for me to track which ones I've completed lol i feel all over the place.  I will take a look at your tools you have suggested.

Hi guys,

I'm targeting a specific country NZ to start off with as my site is only new 3months old - whilst I'm trying to rank for various keywords such as - psychic readings, online psychic readings, love psychics, clairvoyant, astrology, tarot card readings etc

I can see I'm slowly ranking around 18, 20,30,40 through my blog page, but nothing from the site.  I know the site is content thin and were currently working on improving this, is there anything else you can suggest that perhaps I might need to be aware of? Or any tools I could use to go about getting information that could help put me ahead lol

Thanks all!

Hey Guys

Everytime I run the tester through google webmaster tools - I keep getting an error that tells me

"Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead."

An idea how to go about fixing this without changing the site around?

I have seen competitors sitemaps look similar to mine.

Hi Jasmine,

Lol thanks so much for your advice, and your compliment haha!

I'm currently re-working the home page, as Iv noticed alot of our competitors are quiet content heavy... which makes sense, I suppose we went for more of an user friendly type situation. So currently I am reverting back to our old design, with how it works instructions, clear testimonials and feedbacks, psychic readers are featured on the home page.

With regards to conversion rate optimization, I'm investing in PPC, and the problem is we had no idea about converting this traffic in any particular way until we went through the tests.  So now we are working on retargeting, emails, and a change in the registration process.  Is there anything else you would recommend?

Thanks again, Ray-pp, I have definitely take on your advice here.  I'm glad you went through the registration process thanks for your feedback.  I will report on this information, im going to make changes to this process, and as said previously we have had around 17-25 people sign up, just no cc info.

I notice some of my competitors do this 1,2,3 process really well just by using better user interface, and I notice others use a registration process that requires you to select the psychic first, then they have you choose an offer in step 2 then proceed with credit card details, i also note that they do have an option to revisit the home page, so I'm definitely seeing this now that you pointed this out.

Thanks again, will update shortly

Hi Ameliavargo,

Thanks for your feedback.  I never heard of anything like this, will give it ago seems really good and an effective way of getting results much quicker.  Thanks for this.  Much appreciated!

Thanks again Ray-pp for your great feedback! We know of others that do the on boarding before the credit card, and sadly its a no go, as a lot of clients want free readings and then leave… etc

I have just launched my brand new e-commerce site www.zenory.co.nz

We are wanting to expand global as you can see we have com.au and also .com but due to our min budget we had to start with NZ first for organic search and a min monthly budget on adwords which doesn't come close to what our competitors are paying.  Really is it worth paying out our limited budget with adwords? Or should be put that into ranking organic search.

While we have only just started our adwords PPC campaign and I think it has only been roughly two weeks - We have had around 18 people sign up, to which we have a 3 step process, however, we are struggling to convert and complete a transaction which customer places credit card details in step 3.  Does anyone have any ideas around how we could better optimize or perhaps make any suggestions?

Our competitors spend rather large amounts of up to 3000k - 300k per month on adwords, and there is just no competing with that.  Any suggestions I would definitely be open to...

Thanks alot

Yes! That definitely answers my question, and my thinking re- below the fold line is exactly what I was thinking!

Thanks again Ray-pp!

Hi Ray-pp

Thanks for your feedback! My website is www.zenory.co.nz

Changing the home page to add more content won't really be too much of an issue at this point especially in the early stages?

Hi guys,

I'm newbie.... I have been told that my home page is content thin, and if I want to rank really well in the search i need to have more relevant content on my homepage - the site is only new 2months and I can see we are now at 39th place in the search, if i make changes to the home page design and add more content will this effect this current ranking?

Thanks Marie!

lol thanks!

I noticed for a while that our competitors don't rank for any keywords organically and they are using paid ads to gain traffic.  They have been in the industry for over 6 years and we are only new and have ranked above them already.  How can we find out if a competitor has been penalized?

Thanks

We have three domain names co.nz, com.au and com.  We are very new and have been told to optimize for co.nz first before going into com.au and com.  Having said that, we have outsourced an seo company to optimize our co.nz site, however I would like to optimize the com.au and the com based on the information we currently receive for co.nz.

Any suggestions on how to go about doing this? I looked at our competition and it seems they have the same content across all 3 domains, but they have changed the meta tags for each domain and that's about it.

Any tips or ideas on how we could possibly do better? I know its early stages.... but as a newbie some advice around this would be great!

Thanks
