Technical SEO
Hi again Ravi, This and your previous questions have all been rather vague. It feels that you are after more of an SEO consultation than specific help with a problem. The people on this forum are amongst the most helpful out there and always willing to offer solutions. But in return, it is expected that posters do the basic research, and read the "free information" provided. I believe you have been pointed to the "beginner" SEO articles by moz several times in your previous posts. Join this with your moz reports and all the free tools supplied by google and you have many changes you could begin to implement to improve your SEO. If you gave them a thorough read through you should be able to identify a multitude of sins that we would be more than happy to help with. Even if you provided us with a list of changes you have made so far, so that we could tell you where to look next it would allow us to provide you with an answer that could be built up on and demonstrate the efforts and pattern of thought you are currently on. Your current question asks alot of us...you do not provide us with any issue or information that makes you think something isn't right. All SEO fixes are done for a reason, you need to understand the reason before implementing a fix. Your question expects us to go to your website, access speed etc, review your source code applying our knowledge, then make a list and tell you how to change it. These are things we have spent weeks, months, years building knowledge over and we simply cannot relay it in a single message. Let alone begin explaining how to fix it all. My advice would be to do some more research using the many resources you have been provided. Then come with a direct question such as "I have learnt speed is important to my website, what can i do to improve my websites speed". This will allow us to give you some more specific resources and direct advice that you can fix, then approach us with another question. Sorry if this sounded blunt, I just want to convey the importance of helping us help you.

Help in Rich snippet
I am checking your schemas with https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ and it seems your product and review snippets are well implemented. We implemented them two years ago on a quite powerful ecommerce site, and it only appears for branded keywords. Having the schema is a must for appearing, but not enough for Google to show them. Luck and patience!

Image impressions fall drastically
Go to one of the image SERPs that used to bring you traffic. Scroll to the bottom of the first page and see if you find a notice like this.... In response to multiple complaints we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 3 results from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaints that caused the removals at ChillingEffects.org: Complaint, Complaint. That is what occurs when people use my images.

Help with 404 pages
Hi there Matt Cutts actually made some suggestions depending on the size of your site as to what you can do with eCommerce 404 pages. You can learn more about that here. Here is a resource with some best practices for your 404 page, as well as some great examples that you can take advantage of to make the best user experience possible for 404 pages. Remember - at the end of the day what matters most is the user experience; if there is a place that they can be redirected to that's relevant to the product or category they were looking for previously, send them there. If there isn't, provide a valuable 404 page that allows them to search, navigate, see other products, coupons, etc. so that they can continue to move through your site instead of getting frustrated and leaving. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Dynamic pages
Hi there It really depends on the type of site you have and the purpose(s) of the pages you are creating. For instance, duplication can come in many forms: Product listings Product descriptions Blog posts or rolls www and non www http or https Copied content from other websites International content And more. It really depends on your site. If I were you, I would make sure that I look at the following sources: Canonical tags (Google) URL Parameters (Google) Paginated Content (Google) Duplicate Content Best Practices (Moz) How to Defeat Duplicate Conten - Next Level (Moz) Also, if you are going to be utilizing international SEO, make sure you look into hreflang attributes and language tags. Hope this all helps! Good luck!

Image Sitemap need help
Hi Ravi, Looks ok now. Did you already see changes in WMT (number of url's indexed). To speed up the process you could do a "Fetch as Google" in WMT for the sitemap & submit it to the index. rgds, Dirk

Cached version of website
Hi there, Do you have an example of which pages use this mobile menu? From the testing I did, I could not get the menu that uses that code. It would be beneficial to ask your developers if this code is still in use (I would describe it as: the drop down menu which has an ID of "yt-mobilemen") If this menu is no longer in use I would remove it as it is affecting your keyword density and does not look very natural, which will not be seen positively by Google, due to it being part of a dropdown, there is no association of it being part of the navigation, so to Google it just looks like a big block of keywords. The mobile menu I witnessed came in from the left, was very nice and uses the same code as the full size one so as not to cause duplications, this is the preferred method, so if you are able to get rid of the big block of text, then go for it! Be aware that initially it will be seen as a block of text disappearing, so would be helpful to add some more substantial text to your pages to compensate Kind Regards Jimmy

Website Cached Version
Hi Ravi When you select "Text-only version", it's showing you the way that Googlebot, or potentially other robots and crawlers, see your website. This is an important tool because it can tell you if Google is picking up content on your site. If you see nothing, then Google can't see your content, and you need to change this. Luckily for you, Google is seeing content. However, it looks like you may be missing some basic SEO opportunities on this page - take a look at On-Page Factors. Here's a good post from Boostability Blog and SEO Theory with some good information on Google's cache. Hope this all helps! Good luck!

Do follow links
Great reply from Tom. The other way to see it (more from philosophical nature) - by definition the 'world wide web' is 'The World Wide Web (www, W3) is an information system of interlinked hypertext documents that are accessed via the Internet and built on top of the Domain Name System'. (Wikipedia) If you site only has only incoming links, and no outgoing links - it's like a dead end street (or and end-node) and would be a bit in contradiction of what the www is (was) all about. It would also seem that you are convinced that your site has all the possible answers / solutions for a certain topic and that you are convinced that no other site could be of interest for your visitors. No hard facts or figures to support this theory, just my gut feeling. If you have a number of good external references that have added value content for your visitors I would certainly link to them. rgds, Dirk

Hi Ravi, To check if the rich snippets appeared in the results I checked in google using site:urbandazzle.com - for the screen copy I did the following quary: "Devnow Bar" site:urbandazzle.com (not quite the typical search request your normal customers would type) Hope this helps, Dirk

Footer Section
Jamie & Aaron nailed it. Some additional links to consider: sitemap, email (mailto:), address (hyperlink to location), CTA, phone number (tel:) and etc.

Help in Internal Links
Completely agree with Bob. The only exception where you might consider using nofollow on internal links would be on links for sign in, add to shopping cart,... - although they indicate that it's not really necessary. Quote from webmaster tools on reasons why you could use no follow: (source:https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/96569?hl=en) Crawl prioritization: Search engine robots can't sign in or register as a member on your forum, so there's no reason to invite Googlebot to follow "register here" or "sign in" links. Using nofollow on these links enables Googlebot to crawl other pages you'd prefer to see in Google's index. However, a solid information architecture — intuitive navigation, user- and search-engine-friendly URLs, and so on — is likely to be a far more productive use of resources than focusing on crawl prioritization via nofollowed links. rgds, Dirk

E commerce SEO
Quite a generic question. IMO this forum is best used for specific questions/issues you may have. You'll engage the community much better with specific queries.
