Hi, it looks like you have a Wordpress website and also the use of H1. For example on page: http://www.iamtheconnoisseur.com/casual-connoisseur-x-trickett-the-weir-collaboration-gift-set/ you have H1 at Casual Connoisseur x TRiCKETT ( you can see it in the source code).

Your site is using images you can use the "alt tag"  here's some info about it: https://econsultancy.com/blog/63845-the-basics-of-using-alt-text-for-seo/
Also start using the meta description in the head, it's not a big SEO thing but at least your snippets in Google will get it's info from it and good snippets are good for clicks.

Get backlinks to your site. Without backlinks no authority on your domain. in OSE i don't see any backlink, it's worth trying to get some..

Use Social Media to push your site.

Hi, I'll choose the short url and put keywords in title, description and content. If possible choose only 1 subfolder.

Hi, to be sure your dev site is not indexed put it behind a login / password. As google can't login to your site, google can't index it.

In WP you did the right thing, when you put your site live make sure you use a seo plugin (Yoast) and use canonical tag, to avoid duplicate content. https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/

Hi, I know this video / hangout about  there is a question about content after read more button / tab

The advice is, that if content is important don't put it behind tab / read more button. Google can see this content as hidden or less important, and will try to ignore it.

By using the word "try" you can ask yourself, is Google abled to ignore this content.. i don't know.

Anyway if you look at the importance of the content; i'll say always show important content to your clients, do not hide it behind tabs and or read more buttons.

Hi,

it means you can run 5 campains in the plan you buy. A campain is the project or the website you're running in MOZ.  With 5 campains you can run 5 different projects or websites.

Hi, Google can't read (yet) image filenames, that's why we use the alt tag, to tell google what's the image is about. So you can use the image file name as alt tag, no problem. If you use the word "lego" twice it's not keyword stuffing.

here's something to read about keyword stuffing: http://moz.com/community/q/what-constitutes-keyword-stuffing

Hi Tjr, I'm also curious about that, but can't find anything, that  sitelinksearchbox improve the SEO ranking, by adding the searchbox. schema.org to your site.

I think it will increase you're ctr and by that you can  gain ranking, but the tool itselfs i doubt that.

The thing i  like about it, that you can send searches direct to your site, so you get rid of you'r competitors as soon people use your sitelink search.   on the other site, you can only see the searchbox by google-ing a brand name. so people already are interested in the brand

Hi, try this in the of your page, and wait a while

https://plus.google.com/+Thezenagency rel="publisher" />

there used to be a rich snippettool to check if your rel="publisher" was configured correctly, but google disabled this last week and now we only have the developerstool: https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/

Hi, I used to have the same on a project i managed. There where a lot of pages with keywordstuffing, with the same reason as your page. Selling a product with lot's of variations. I leaved it the way it was. Like you said althoug the keyword stuffing, pages had an A-grade an ranked very well in Google ( top 5) never had any problem with it.

I did ad a lot of other content to the page like:  text, images and later video's.

Hi, here is an article comparing Ahrefs vs OSE vs Majestics. All tools have differences. And for good linkbuilding i think you need more than just one tool. http://www.seobook.com/comparing-backlink-data-providers

When you're using the free version of Ahrefs, try the paid one, you'll get so much more info, it's realy worth to try. And i think (not sure) OSE is for free, you pay for MOZ Analytics. But non payers can use OSE, correct me if i'm wrong.

Grtz, Leonie

That's a good one. My first reaction is, give the links a no follow. With that the (brand) name is visible, but the link can not harm you by in case it's on low qualiy websites and or money making keywords.

Hi , a sitemap can contain 50.000 urls with a max. size  of 10 MB.

Hi, you can check your dns config here:

http://dnscheck.pingdom.com. If problems with resolving your domain. ask you  hostingprovider to set the dns right. otherwise you have to do it yourself in you hosting configuration tool like direct admin or plex.

Hi, If you want to permanently delete a page and there is still ( a lot) traffic on . i'll think it's best to redirect the page to a relevant one. when there is no traffic  and no backlinks, delete it,  and delete the page with the url removal from Google webmastertools.

With temporary /on hold pages,  i used to give them a 302, but lately i started a test to see what's better. I keep the pages alive, with content and links to another page. I still have to find out what's best, ( just testing this for 1 month) but the bouncerate is low.  I want my clients to go to another section of the website, i explain this in the content with the right links.

Hi, Are you using a CMS? It can be caused by that? It creates url's with spaces that's why they look so strange. Have you checked this with your webdeveloper?

Here some info about url encoding:

URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set. Since URLs often contain characters outside the ASCII set, the URL has to be converted into a valid ASCII format. URL encoding replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits. URLs cannot contain spaces. URL encoding normally replaces a space with a plus (+) sign or with %20.

Hi, if your whole website is for members and behind a login and password, Searchengines can't index the website and thus not visisble for others than your members.

if you want other people to  find your website, you'll need a public part, which you can optimize for your users and searchengines.

the question is: do you want other people than your members find the website, if yes, than you'll need content that searchengines can find. If the answer is no you can hide the whole website behind a login and password.

i manage a website which  a part of that is only for members. that part is not optimized and behind a login and password. The rest of the site is public and need to be found in the searchengines. This part is optimized for on - and off page seo.

Hi, I made a keyword research last month for a large retailer i took the following staps: First of all i made 3 keyword lists:
1. top 100 high volume (adwords keyplanner like Moosa said)
2. top 100 best ranking (MOZ and WMT)
3. top 100 last month used (Google analytics and WMT)

For the final keyword list i took the overlaps on the lists. and the keywords with brings traffic and revenue to the site. I have 60 keywords now  and optimizing the landingpages for it.

Hi Billy, it depends which page you want to rank well. If the page that ranks well in the search engine, than people can link to that page.  If you can have multiple backlinks, you can choose to get a link to different pages of your site with different anchortext.

If the backlinks come from different domains with high authority, it will be good for you whole domain.
