Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Have you Blocked the m.domain.com from being indexed? If you are using a true mobile redirection that redirects traffic based on user/browser agents then you don't need the m.domain to list in Google as your normal domain will re-direct to the mobile site.

I don't think that is good advice at all, those that think that SEO is not worth doing or impossible in certain sectors either are too lazy or do not know how. Simply throwing money at PPC is an option, and does provide short term benefit, but it's not a long-term solution for continued ROI.

Google essentially sees those 5 domains as individual sites and will list each as individual sites in results.

Follow the guide bjgomer liks you to, you need to set up your .htaccess file to resolve www and either finishwith a trailing slash or index.html the former usually being the better. You also need to decide first whether you want your site to be http://mysite.com or http://www.mysite.com.

Once developers have implemented a block go into Google Webmaster Tools and find Crawler Access. You can then test the implementation. Make sure you select 'Google mobilebot' and try and crawl the site.

If the mobile site domain is blocked you should get a message saying it failed.

I saw "look for a job in an industry that is not as developed", I agree totally with you point regarding attacking long tails on PPC. This is a good strategy, but to recommend looking for a new job in a less developed industry is almost like saying just give up and try something easy.

try adding this to your .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^princetown.in
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.princetown.in/$1 [R=301,L]

There is no better method they do not affect rankings, it is purely personal preference. However you must implement proper redirect rules to resolve http://mysite.com to http://www.mysite.com or vice versa which ever one you choose.

I tend to always go for www. as it just looks better to me.

Try this:

RewriteEngine on

<code>RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*\/index\.html?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.html?$ "/$1" [R=301,L]</code>

In general terms there is no significant benefit to hosting in country, it was thought that it mattered more ages ago.

You should though host on different IP's, if you have a hosting package hosting all of your multiple .tld domains on the same IP there will be little or no benefit to link building. So in essence it would be good practice to host on different servers and why not in country if you are hosting that domain?

You can change your page file names to your keywords. Make sure they are relevant to the actual page and not overly spammy.

so for example your kitchen quote page could be renamed from:

http://www.enchantingquotes.com/kitchenbath.html

to

http://www.enchantingquotes.com/**kitchen-****and-bath-quotes.html**

The way to do this is to rename the actual files, you will have to remember to change all links and also add 301 redirects to each new page from the old. You can learn more about how to do that at http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/url and http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/redirection.

Matt is right, but you may also want to use a .htaccess solution. Add this or get your devs to add this to your .htaccess file

<code class="htaccess" title="in your .htaccess file">RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]</code>

If you use this method plus Matt's then you may find you end up with a redirect loop. I personally use the .htaccess rule, but each to their own.

If you've changed a significant amount of content then Google has obviously re crawled your site and to it may look like a different page.

You may have over-optimised your page with too many keywords.

You may have put in too many internal links.

You may have fundamentally altered the html code to become less seo friendly.

You may have built links to your pages from low quality sources that harmed your site.

You may have altered the meta titles/descriptions that were ideal in the first place.

Your competitors could have been enhancing their seo activity at the same time.

I could list hundreds more but that's for you to work out as you've not given much information other than your site has dropped one place.

I have never seen an example of a .co.uk ranking well in the US market. The logical approach is to use a .com TLD and use Google WMT to set the target to US. You can't set a .co.uk as far as I believe because it's main purpose is to serve the UK market anyway. I have been in situations where a .com and .co.uk have both targeted at the UK and they basically end up cannibalising each other until one wins and one disappears.

Your best bet is to create a US-separate site (with different content!).

In my personal opinion you will never reach #1 with a .co.uk on google.com, I could be mistaken though and having a US IP address, US links pointing in may help.

Are you using wordpress or some kind of blog CMS? I have seen my posts shoot up the SERPS almost immediately after I post and then slowly over a few days creep back down and unless they start getting socially shared or linked to fall off the front pages. It's to do with how Google counts fresh content.

Chenzo is correct, install the SEO Ultimate plugin as this does wonders for deep editing of titles and descriptions for categories/tags and more. There is a setting that you can rewrite the URL from categories in the url to a specific post url.

I usually avoid having categories in the URL due to the issue you describe above of having multiple categories, I use a rewrite to just have a url such as /blog/post-name/ instead of /blog/category/tag/post-name/.
