Welcome to the Q&A Forum

fishy links? Can you help me and explain a little more?

The site was 7 years old before I took over and switched it from .asp to .php this past may. I know there's a lot of stuff that just fell through the cracks when they didn't have anyone working consistently on the site, I would love to know how to fix all of the problems.

Thank you so much!

They used to be more confussing with numbers and such. Plus I set up my google parameters for that cat sorts

#.UA6rr-51DRg gets put onto the end of all the URLs b/c of the "add this" sharing tools I put in, it tracks the social media stuff. Is that not good and hurting me?

again, thank you so much for your help

Thanks soo much! you kinda confirmed what I was thinking. I appreciate the help!

Hi,

I'm kind of a newbie and I'm working on an e commerce website.

I would love to be able to optimize the site so that the keyword "dog boutique" was ranking for the homepage.

B/C a lot of the pages call from php to create the meta data, most of generated page titles look like    "Product Name, Category - Moondoggie Dog Boutique"

My question is would it be more helpful to just have Moondoggie Dog Boutique on the page title on the page I would like to rank for "dog boutique" and use Moondoggie Inc. or Just Moondoggie in it's place on all of the other pages?

Would this help or make it worse?

Thanks!

Yes, I have the conversion tracking, and doing pretty well for the very small budget I have to work on the site...

I have a small CPC campaign running. I also added some "buy now" call to actions. Any other suggestions?

thanks added call to actions...  I wasn't too worried about the bounce rate... it's not bad, i was more concerned about traffic..

Thank you so much!

Working on fixing the page titles, they are 1/2 and 1/2 that way.

Is this the correct code to put in my .htaccess file to direct the .asp to .php pages?

RedirectMatch 301 (.*).asp$http://www.example.com$1.php

and then add in single redirects to the landing pages that don't have the same name?

THANKS!!!!  KristyO

for internal links does it matter if you have the full address or just the partial?

www.moondoggieinc.com/dog-harness.php vs. ../dog-harness.php?

Thanks!

Am I jumping the gun on expecting results?

I recently switched our ecommerce website from .asp to .php (new site went up May 15th) but we did not switch domain names.

we seems to be doing better until a few days ago when traffic took a steep drop... (not like we were getting that much in the first place either)

I was wondering if I'm doing something completely wrong or do i need to wait longer? Are big swings normal when relaunching a website? am I just being too anxious? The internal pages are getting no juice and I dont know why...

I know i need to build on the links to the site?  but am I doing something else completely wrong to see the orgranic search results drop down to almost nothing? I'm really new to SEO and would love if i could get another opinion on http://www.moondoggieinc.com.

Thanks! Kristy

Hi,

I'm pretty new to SEO and I'm trying to figure out if I'm on the right track.

Mid May I rebuilt a website completely from .asp to .php, the original site was completely makeshift and had some really un-pretty code in it, not to mention the design was completely out of date.

Since I rebuilt it the search has slowed and then picked up a little now it's slowed to almost a stop. I know it hasn't been that long, but am I doing something wrong? I know the think i'm missing most is link-building which we are working on now, but is there something else I'm missing to make the search drop like this this past week? I feel like it's soo much better then before but I'm not seeing any results and now I'm really second guessing myself?

Any suggestions? please help!

THANKS! KristyO

Thank you! yes, I have read the articles that you suggested. Makes me think it's not the problem to be honest, but I can't be sure.

The industry is pet clothing HAHA! http://www.moondoggieinc.com

we already are pluggin away on social media - FB, Twitter, & Tumblr (who doesn't share picutre of their pets in clothes lol!)

My homepage is getting better, but pages off of it like /dog-harness-php and /dog-clothing.php are what I'm having trouble with.

On-page grades I get A's for both... hmm

It's kinda like i wish I had a guide to help in the process of learning seo... seems trial by error right now. I can make most things look pretty, but getting them to search right is hard!

Is this why I can't rank any of my internal pages? I'm not getting duplicate content errors on all the pages.

I'm kinda worried I'm reading too many different things and not getting a clear idea of what's going on. I really enjoy working on SEO, but I'm very new to it (a few months). My start is as a designer.

Any other suggestions on why it's happening?

I'm a little scared to mess with the htaccess file. I will, if this will really help me, could it hurt?

Hi!

I'm kinda new to the SEO game and struggling with this site I'm working on:

http://www.moondoggieinc.com

I set the preferred domain to www. in GWT but I'm not seeing it reroute to that?

I can't seem to get any of my internal pages to rank, and I was thinking it's possiblly b/c of a duplicate content issue cause by this problem.

Any help or guidance on the right way to set preferred domain for this site and whiy I can't get my internal pages to rank?

THANKS!

KristyO
