Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey there, Thanks for the question, and thanks for jumping in to help Bryan. Your On-Page reports are generated automatically from any URL on your site that's ranking in the top 50 for any of your keywords. If you no longer want it to track a certain one, you can click the "Stop running weekly" button on the report itself. As for tracking your own custom combinations. you can do that from the Report Card itself. When you're in your On-Page section you'll see two links on the top left: Summary & Report Card. Click Report Card to run a custom On-Page report for whatever URL you wish and what Keyword you wish. Then, if you want, you can choose to Run that report weekly. I hope that helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers, Joel.

In my experience small SEO agencies sometimes have a more personal approach. Maybe it's a good idea to invite 2-3 agencies and you begin straight away with your questions. I have found myself in the same spot with a company who didn't want to tell about their methods and 3-6 months later they went out of business because they bought old authoritative domains and transformed them into blog networks/linkwheels. Nowadays when we want to hire a certain company we go to smaller agencies and tell them we don't want bla bla but easy answers in normal language and feedback. Good luck with your business.

Can you share your website URL for checking too many on page link issue. And For Trackback, Yoast has written very nice post, how Wordpress handle trackback (302). How you make it 301. Here is the URL : http://yoast.com/google-wordpress-and-trackback-urls/ Hope this will solve your problem...

Yeah, your best bet is probably to switch the canonical to the old/main page "/widgets.php" - just removing the canonical tag doesn't always get Google's attention (or, at best, takes quite a while). If you can designate a new canonical, that should speed things up. Our on-page report may just be looking at the longer version with more content as being a bit better, but it's really tough to say. Without knowing the situation, I'm not clear on how the 2 pages differ or what kind of pagination you were using.

Hello Jannkuzel, That is correct. Some 3rd party review sites get around this by placing the content on your site in an iFrame. What this would essentially mean is that they get credit for the content and you don't. So while that may be a good experience for your users, having the content on your page in an iFrame would not help your SEO directly. If the content is NOT in an iFrame and is crawlable on the page (just search for a snippet of the comments/reviews in your source code) then you would have a duplicate content problem with that same content showing up on the 3rd party's website. An ideal situation would be for you to be the only site that shows the reviews and comments since they are about your products, after all. Good luck! Everett

First, I think here in the US the Testimonials page still works if you do it correctly. Second, with customers who you can ask for help, have them put reviews on sites and link to the sites from your testimonials page. You can also have them do a review on Places, use the same verbiage on your testimonials page & same user name of customer on Places. Then state (from our customer Suzi Q on  our Google reviews!) Best

1. The reviews are on 3rd party review websites e.g. widgetreview.com 2. We do have a lot of original content on each of the product pages. We were ideally looking to add value to customer experience as we have sorted the original content side already. Permission wise we thought as they are on a public forum we could extract them-but good point we will verify before proceeding. Any other thoughts are much appreciated.

Apologies I didn't explain myself very well. I meant issues relating to search engines finding matching content on two separate websites. Will this have any SEO implications as effectively we are 'plagiarising' the content in the eyes of the bots right even though it is just customer opinion of our own products?

i have this happaning for a couple of clients, I cannot say for sure why it works for them and not others, but it happaned after I added images to their listing. I added cutout images by the way just in case it makes a difference, they certainly look better as local images are a bit small.

Thank you Alan. I shall go with your advice. All the best.

When you create a blog you should first choose a "target". what is your blog' s purpose? 1. If you wanna have a blog just for getting visibility, you should write almost 1 article per day and post it in your blog.      Write article that follow the topic of your site but "dropping" most searched keyword in your content 2. If you wanna have just backlink, use your energy and your content posting your article in guests blog. I see a lot of blogs that set theirs link "do-follow". If you don't want to see your page rank improve and don't let your blog being filled of stupid/no sense fake (SEO) comments, i think that you should keep no-follow setting.

Thank you for the help and advice- I really appreciate it. I still can't seem to decide the best course of action for the titles/headers. A little background incase you can help/advise: We sell 5 types of widgets. And each of these 5 headings have 50 or so products each. At the moment the title is Brand Name | Product name and the header is just Brand| Motto for all. The problem is making each of the 50 or so titles different as they all fit in one broad category and it is hard to define them further e.g. setting one widget as 'space saving widget' but the problem is about 10/50 products fit that description so I don't want customer thinking that particular one is the only space saving one we have (I hope you guys understand what I mean here) In this scenario would it be advisable just to stick with product names?

Sounds like you need to be looking at implementing some canonical tags, here is a blog post from Rand Fishkin when this advancement was made, probably a good starting point to launch your understanding into canonical tags http://www.seomoz.org/blog/canonical-url-tag-the-most-important-advancement-in-seo-practices-since-sitemaps
