Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you Miranda!

Will definitely do. This site was using ExpressionEngine as the CMS and it needed some serious in house cleaning done. Especially with 404 redirects and meta tags. My main errors with Google and SEOMoz were the duplicate descriptions, urls and meta data. Wordpress probably wouldn't have had these errors, but since the site was custom built there were some minor, but major misplaced and forgotten lines of code in the .htaccess and header files.

I'll update here if I start to see serp movement.

Thanks EGOL! There have been some improvements to keywords, but nothing that jumps out at me right now. Just the sort of typical fluctuation. Hopefully, I'll start to see some larger jumps soon..

Hello Mozzers,

I just logged into my account and after what has felt like a few months of on site work I finally see ZERO errors across the board for my main campaign with SEO Moz!

I just wanted to share that with everyone because at one point above the errors were in the 5,000 range. It was causing penalties and weight in serps, but now thanks to SEO Moz and the help that I have received in the Q&A section, I have corrected all the errors!

So, thank you to SEOMOZ and the pro community very very much!!!

As a discussion though, how are the errors with most other users? Are you typically always seeing no errors, a few errors or a lot of errors for your campaigns?

Thanks!

Jesse

Personally I would just do the "wildcard" redirect.

I think doing it with a landing page wouldn't be the most user friendly method of redirecting.

I definitely would.

Major companies do that all the time, not only with various domain extensions, but also with mis-spelled domains.

Quick example:

gooogle.com redirects to google.com

It seems like Google likes the newer Schema.org markup. But, they still crawl the Open Graph I believe. The OG tags do help Facebook categorize shared links though. Personally, I'm switching my OG tags and implementing the Schema markup. If Google likes that better for their rich snippets, I'm going to make the change. Here's a Google link about it http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1211158 Paragraph from Google "Facebook Open Graph serves its purpose well, but it doesn't provide the detailed information search engines need to improve the user experience. A single web page may have many components, and it may talk about more than one thing. Even if you mark up your content for Facebook Open Graph, schema.org provides an additional way to provide more detail about particular entities on the page." - Google

Hi, I suggest feed burner. I've never read anything but I feel like it helps get your links indexed quickly since Google runs it. You can also submit your RSS to various RSS pingers. Also get your RSS set up on your Facebook pages, linkedin profile or other social media sites that have the option to pull in RSS. Good luck.

Typically, I'd offer an exchange on my blogroll. But, I've gotten links on blogrolls from giving the webmaster a free seo report on their site and how to improve. Also, I've gotten links just by sending an email and informing the webmaster about my site and how having a link back would benefit their users.

Hi, Recently I've been noticing that getting some solid blogroll links with your targeted keyword as your anchor text gives some really nice results... Guest blogging and having targeted keywords in your article as your anchor will most certainly help also. But this blogroll's have done wonders for me Good luck! Jesse
