Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Jochen

DO you mind sharing the URLs in question?

Hi guys this is a 2 part question so hoping someone is able to assist!

I own the www.industrytix.com.au/ website which ive been updating manually in Dreamweaver for last 6+ years, it has very high Organic Rankings for most of my targeted keywords which are:

industry tix
Industry tickets
breakfest tickets
Stereosonic tickets
CUban Club tickets
etc etc - essentially names of events

Im currently about 90% of the way through replicating/improving the content of the website using a Wordpress Theme which is located at www.industrytix.com.au/buy-tickets/ so all the URLs/Sites are currently running concurrently. Im using Eventum Theme for hosting events and Woocommerce plugin for products so there is a slighy disconnect between the 'Event Page' and 'Buy tickets/Product page"

**For example: 
Event page: **http://industrytix.com.au/buy-tickets/breakfest-perth/ Ticket/product page: http://industrytix.com.au/buy-tickets/product/breakfest-ticket-perth/

Next step is to kill off the old outdated homepage and recirrect all the event pages to the new ones - for retaining SEO value is there a best practices for completing this? (I am planning to move the New WP Installation into the root folder from the /buy-tickets/ folder where its currently staged.

For example of OLD to NEW redirrection requirements:
OLD http://www.industrytix.com.au/cuban-club-perth-tickets.php
NEW http://industrytix.com.au/buy-tickets/cuban-club-perth-nyd/

OLD http://www.industrytix.com.au/breakfest-tickets.php
NEW EVENT PAGE http://industrytix.com.au/buy-tickets/breakfest-perth/
Nicket/product page: http://industrytix.com.au/buy-tickets/product/breakfest-ticket-perth/

Any other feedback improvements as far as retaining SEO and not keyword stuffing etc?

Thanking you all in advance for taking the time to read this

What do you mean by 'done all the things' ?

How old is the website? Do you have relevant freshly updated content? Do you have any reputable links linking back to your website?

The domain that the first link points to - http://www.acutehomoeoclinic.com/ - looking at the info that SEOQuake spits out, its showing 169,000 backlinks yet MOZ site explorer has not found any when I look that way?

Are you using SPAMMY backlinks?

I was using some A/B Testing with different pages hence the 2 differnt URLs, forgot about the /isagenix-products/ as that hasnt been used for a while

'Buy Isagenix' is a prefix that the developer made for the products which is a 'post type' that has this slug name... is this better to have removed?

I posted about the Google WEbmaster tools Structured Data set up in this thread here: http://moz.com/community/q/using-google-structured-data-for-seo-benefit

Just a follow up question (or separate)... would having a lot of products with marked up data (via webmaster tools and not on page) hurt SEO rankings? I have not got any warning/notice etc in Google Webmaster tools about it.

• Search term 'buy isagenix' on Google Australia

  Product listing page not in top 50
  http://www.isacleanse.com.au/buy-isagenix

  15th Result on Google Australia for 'buy isagenix' is a different page on my website:
  http://www.isacleanse.com.au/isagenix-perth/

  Any suggestions welcome

Sorry thought I had the url in there - www.isacleanse.com.au. In response to LSIversen - you are right it did start cutting off once i updated the description so will try remove a few words from the end of it!

Hi Im not sure what triggered this - Page title is showing up as 'Isagenix Australia'  while it should be <title>Buy Isagenix with 30 Day money back guarantee & Free Shipping in June</title>

Previous title was 'Isagenix Australia - Read Isagenix reviews & buy isagenix products' but now it seems to have a mind of its own.

Any suggestions would be helpful

Thanks Everett.. you are spot on, I used the Data Highlighter in Google Webmaster tools. Is using SChema markup a better way of doing this or do they essentially do the same thing?

Hi there

I run www.isacleanse.com.au and I've set up some Structured data using Google Webmaster Tools which says it will be picked up during the next Google update (has been set up over 4 weeks ago), however I dont seem to see any of the structured data for the products/reviews/ratings etc coming through in search results.

Question at hand: Is there additional things I need to do in the code of the website or should this be sufficient? (see attached screenshot)

Thanks for that, I've done my own summary of the article and how it relates to my business.

Just to be more specific so I know for future reference, the article is from an Australian Government body and a non profit organization who's goal is for this to be seen by as many people as possible, is this possibly the exception to the rule of contacting for permission?

Hi all

I am looking at copy/pasting an article from another website which is very relevant to my business, is there a standard practise/best practise for SEO to do this and ensure Google doesn't think i am plagerizing content etc.. Link to source down the bottom? Using Quotations... making a page noindex or no follow etc?

Having your targeted keyword in the domain is highly recommended but not the only deciding factor in SEO rankings. As long as you have a good Branding and relevant, fresh content on the website, build up your social media profiles - not having the keyword in domain name should not impact you too much.

Personally I would opt for something that is a bit shorter so its easy to remember, punchy in print media/business cards and reduces user error if they are trying to go to your site by typing in the URL after seeing it somewhere.

Thanks Toby and Jonathan, I thought he was pulling my leg but thought maybe there was something I didnt know!

I'd suggest looking at Amazon Cloudfare.. super reliable, and cost efficient - used by large corporations globally.

Thanks mate! What I forgot to mention I guess is that I have not updated the NZ site in a while as main focus is on Aus as that drives 90% of traffic/searches. So I guess the question is do i sacrifice NZ site now for the sake of beefing up visibility and traffic of .com.au one which is a LOT more comprehensive

Hi all

Hoping this might be something that can be answered given the number of variables  
My main site is www.isacleanse.com.au (Obviously targeted to Australian Market) and also www.isacleanse.co.nz targeted to NZ.

The main Keywords im targeting are 'Isagenix' for both and also Isagenix Australia, Isagenix Perth, Sydney (Australian cities) and Isagenix NZ, Isagenix New Zealand, Isagenix Auckland etc.. for NZ

The Australian site gets a lot more traffic and Australian market gets a lot more searches - I also have a section www.isacleanse.com.au/isagenix-new-zealand/ on the Australian site.

The question is am I best off redirrecting the .co.nz domain completley to the Australian Domain to give it extra SEO Juice?

I am looking to migrate my current site to Siteground so I was having a chat with the operator who is telling me that if I was to sign up a new hosting plan I would get additional SEO benefits.. can anyone confirm or deny this?

Also while on the question, do certain domain/hosting providers offer better SEO/SERP rankings and if they do can anyone recommend any in Australia in Particular?

The domain is a .com.au website

Transcript:

me: i have a website that is registered at crazydomains and Wordpress files hosted on my friends server... what would I need to do to have the domain/hosting transfered to SG?
Siteground Operator:.: Let me take a look at the website and I will provide you with a solution
me: thx
Siteground Operator:.: In this case you have two choices, you can either host it on your current plan or create a new one just for it
Siteground Operator:.: Getting a new plan will be a better choice in terms of SEO and performance
Siteground Operator:.: But you can run it on your current GrowBig as well
me: why will taht give it better SEO?
Siteground Operator:.: Because it will have its own cPanel and it will be a primary domain for it, instead of having it setup as an addon
me: How does Google know what the primary or secondary domain on my hosting plan?
Siteground Operator:.: It doest, as your file location will be primarydomain.com/addonslot
Siteground Operator:.: Compared to primarydomain.com if you put it in its own hosting plan
me: So im struggling to understand how this affects my SEO?
Siteground Operator:.: SERP is based on a couple of things, one of which is domain authority (DO). This tends to be a lot harder to build up with addon domains compared to domains hosted in their own plans.
Siteground Operator:.: Additionally, you will have 2 sites under a single IP address which is not the optimal solution you want to get
me: What would need to be done as far as transfering the WP installation/files/databse etc
Siteground Operator:.: As its stored on a local host you will have to upload a backup copy of your files and db on our server and we will configure it for you.
System: me has ended the chat
