Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you, there was a lot of custom work done on the site so I was concerned that something got goofed up. I tried screaming frog and it looks more accurate than the simulator

I tried spider simulator and it is showing a strange order the spider follows

http://www.example.com/giftcertificates.php
http://www.example.com/satisfaction-guaranteed/
http://www.example.com/

Is this accurate? I ran a test on several sites and the majority showed

www.examplesite.com as the first crawled

I would hate to think that the engines are putting more emphasis on my gift certificates than my homepage.

I read the post on here that the homepage should be first.

You can fetch as Google bot from webmaster tools. And you can submit to the index there as well.

It webmaster tools says there are 724 issues with the sitemap being blocked by robot. Other than that no issues

I have a friend who has an ecommerce site. He got slammed in January. He doesn't buy links. In webmaster tools his queries and impressions are way down as well. his site is www.beastmasterrodeo.com. Any suggestions would be great

What would you consider a lot of traffic? I get about 2000 visitors a day

Can you describe your problems? It will help us all help you.

I use BigCommerce great support and a fair price. I would investigate if something is wrong on your site. It loaded very slow and curious if there is a problem with the page and not the host. I have heard mostly good things about godaddy.

I purchased Piktochart to make what they said were SEO friendly infographs.  Hearing conflicting responses on the SEO value I figure I should ask SEO's. The program is easy and you can download as an XML. Any responses are welcome Thank You

I hope Seomoz adds the Webmaster catagory soon like you posted on my question a few days ago 

Does the TTL have anything to do with it not working yet? I had a big issue with TTL and do not want you to have to go through what I did.

Have a great day otherwise

How long ago was the site launched? I ask this because Seomoz uses a database. What happens if you do a link: www.example.com?

Well from what he has told me he uses Semrush to get the traffic count. He plugs his URL next to his competitions and was curious on how the other site is doing so much better. He looked at the source code and google the GA account to find that he had two sites using it.

I have a friend who is concerned that his competition is trying something funny to show high traffic. The competition has two sites using the same GA tracking code. What impact would this have on his actual traffic.

One site has high traffic 7500 daily

the other site has 150 daily but gaining momentum

I am not sure what platform your site is running on. I know that meta keywords do not help as far as SEO is concerned. We use Big Commerce and meta keywords help our sites internal site search. Something to think about. You can do a quick test by putting non related keyword on a page or product to see if your internal site search picks it up..

Very well written Brian. We find customers really want to put more eyes on their questions than just sending an email to whomever manages the info@example.com.

We have found that pictures are very valuable in creating a Buzz for customers to comment and hopefully end up on the site.

Assigning a dollar amount is very difficult. In our case if you use the metric Social it would appear we are wasting time with Facebook. Time on site generally increases with a good post on Facebook

I find it helpful to keep the Google places listing as accurate and up to date (if your company has seasonal specials most important to keep accurate and any hour changes if you are a walkin type company)

I sure hope the SEOmoz team reads this and acts on it

Thank You

I am wondering if SEOMoz would consider adding a Question Topic called Webmasters. I see many questions that require answers from webmasters and I have some questions to ask that would require a webmaster to answer. Would it be better to find the answers on another platform? If the question is yes any recommendations on which forums are good for these types of questions?

Thank you Robert. I didn't post the question but loved your answer
