Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks EGOL,

I am not the developer, (or A developer) but I know it is not hard to fix (301). The question remains, is this a canonical issue? How does something like this happen? Thanks E.

Hi Mozzers.

Please see the constructed screen grab from Open site explorer.

Do I have canonical Errors with this client?

Thanks!

Thanks,

Designer illustrator turns SEO ... Yikes ... If only I am as good at SEO as I am as a Graphics Pro, Ill be OK!

understood. Thanks for taking the time to weigh in on this.

I will be dominating with other words for my client as well.

The math I need to consider is total traffic X 2.3% as a rough estimate.

Thanks

This is From 2007... from SEOMOZ

It referenced this article (see below) from the same time period, So, I am confused?

LOL Nice!

Here is what I asked Tyler...

Thanks Tyler...

"50% clickthrough is very high"

....Even if I secured the #1, page 1 organic Google SERP spot for "Ham"?(its really not ham, but something specific like Jimi Hendrix tshirt)

Or do you mean the first page or average of the 3 spots?

Thanks Tyler...

Please let me know if I have this all wrong ...

500 people search for "ham"

My client is #1 SERP w/clean SEO I have provided.

out of the 500, half click on the SERP the rest got to ads, or to the bathroom, etc.

250 click to website, half go through.... the rest bail (50% bounce, I know this is bad, but just for demo purposes)

Leaving 125 as potential Ham buyers.

I have a feeling this final # should be much smaller...thoughts, insights?

Thanks Mozzers!

Thanks Everyone....I will probably move on with PR web....barring any Pros who object!

My client is in the clothing, apparel tshirt industry geared toward a specific music icon.

They have a few competitors, my spider senses tell me I will be able to get them great SERP standing, and place them in a very competitive position. Their company has been around for a while but has never written a press release. I had them craft a PR on the subject of cotton prices and how it has affected their business.

A local paper will pick this up no prob.

Where is the best place to go? It is not like it is breaking news, I dont want duplicate content, and I need an experts advice.

I will provide more details if needed.

Thank Mozzers!

Thanks itr

Yes, sitename will be the same, just a host provider change. I realize there are other issues related to the switch, but needed confirmation on the back-linking. My intuition (but lack of years of experience) told me all will be well, I needed someone else to settle me down!

Thanks so much itr.

I just hired an agency to build quality backlinks and articles....should I worry about the new webhost? Should I wait?

Ill assume if the page names are the same, all will be good. What if they change?

Newbie Help!

Thanks Mozzers.

Thanks Louis,

I appreciate the time you spent to answer my question. I feel better and more educated now!

I am working with a client, and when I check on SERP placement, I never see the "www" in the SERP's

only nameofcustomer.com not www.nameofcustomer.com. Of course there is a redirect going on...Question is...should this matter at all? I dont understand the relationship between this kind of redirect and SEO.

Thank Mozzers

Hey Lewis,

(Newbie here)

Here it is in it's current state:

http://www.bobmarley.com/marley_shop.php#bmm

the text in the middle is:

Official Bob Marley Merch: Zion Rootswear

Right Now, it is a nofollow, correct?

So If I make the change it should still be a no follow, right?

Thanks so much for clarification, Lewis.

WAIT! I THINK I KNOW:

Zion Rootswear

If the developer places a nofollow tag, then it is useless, correct?

Sorry to keep editing my question, Lewis. As it stands now the text that links to my customer is "official Bob Marley Merch: Zion Rootswear"

The code is this:

Official Bob Marley Merch: Zion Rootswear

I do not see a no follow here, but...is the code ok here? I think it is, you can weigh in...if u have time. Thanks.

Thanks Friend!

So, Tompt

You are saying I should replace the URL zionrootswear.com to "Bob Marley Tees and accessories"?

Dont use the URL, use Keywords?

(newbie)

Please see JPG I am going to forward to the Bob Marley webmaster....

Should I change this as well?  I think u r right, I should...

Tell me if i should do the same. Thanks Brother!

Newbie here:

My client is Zion rootswear. They need links, bad.

They have friends in high rank places, this is good.

Ziggy Marley has a link to them on his homepage:

Gear: Zion Rootswear   this takes the user to the website when clicked

QUESTION

Should I have the ziggy team change it to www.zionrootswear.com?

Ill assume this is obvious, yes they should....more juice...right? I need an expert opinion.

Thanks Mozzers.

Hey Mozzers,

I am going to suggest to my customer that they pull some big stings in order to make a change to a partners website. I am thinking this change will affect my customers rank in a BIG way....but i am not sure...see image, it tells the short story. I appreciate it...from a newbie

Thanks Lewis ... these two sites are in the same city! Nothing illegal here, I just have to work hard to compete. Thanks for your time.
