If you have only just launched the new version of your mobile site, it may take some time before Google indexes it and detects that there are duplicate content with your previous version. Google bot doesn't crawl all new sites instantly.

Just wondering, have you done anything to prevent duplicate content penalty, such as using rel="canonical" tag? Also, why not update your previous version instead of creating a different mobile site entirely?

If you are referring to a category page such as the link you provided, I would go for:

H1: Product Category

H2: Product Names

You probably won't need H3 or H4. Header tags should only be used for headings and subheadings, which means fields like product copy and prices should go under

or

If you're using Google+ to improve client engagement, you might want to consider using Hangouts On Air to interact with your clients. Possibilities to use Hangouts include customer service, webinars, conferences, software trainings, etc. Many companies (e.g. Dell, Cadbury, etc) have started to use Hangouts and met with success due to its easy-to-use nature and ability to share other content while video conferencing.

Changing to another channel for your marketing or customer service efforts may not be easy at the start, but in the long term, using Hangouts can reduce cost and generate more engagement.

I believe you would have to strike a balance between an attractive tagline with using keywords. Using keywords in the eyes of search engines is definitely important, but you don't want to be using a boring tagline that makes your product commonplace.

More importantly, its not about where you place your tagline, but using the appropriate tags with your headline. Using the

tag for your tagline is more appropriate and gives more SEO value than , since search engine crawlers will look out for

tags first to determine what a website is about.

It doesn't matter whether you use WWW or non-WWW, but what matters is to use only ONE of them, and redirect the other to the one that you are using. Even if you may face a slight fall in rankings, you will want to consolidate your SEO juice in one domain, which will beneficial in the long run.

While Parallax design can be a great experience for users, you will have to take into consideration its SEO consequences and page load speed. When implemented for an entire website, using a one page design will be problematic since you can only have one

tag. Flower Beauty's website solves this problem by loading multiple pages in one page, but at the cost of speed as vagish mentioned. You would also have to take into consideration that parallax design doesn't work well on mobile devices, and a separate mobile site will have to be created in that case.

I would recommend using Parallax design for specific pages only (e.g. product features page). It would load much faster if its just a one page design and you would definitely want to captivate your visitors in the product features page.

It depends on how you link your blog posts to your sales pages. If you place a link to your sales page under every post, in the form of a sales pitch, readers will likely ignore it. However, if you write a blog post in relation to one of your products, and embed a text link within your post seamlessly, it is more likely that interested readers will click on the link to visit your sales page.

It would also help to include a link to your sales page in your sidebar, so that readers are aware that it is a company blog. Readers will therefore have greater confidence in purchasing your products if your blog posts are authoritative and helpful.

On top of creating a content page and organising the projects into various categories, you may want to consider featuring the best few projects in the main page. You would want to impress visitors the first thing upon arriving at the portfolio, and having over 100 project links of various types won't be a good idea.

Not to forget, don't overcram the main page with project images. As the saying goes, "less is more". A select few projects images will be enough to attract interested visitors and they would naturally delve deeper into the portfolio through the links and categories.

If I may suggest, start with stripping the date from your URLs and 301 redirect them to the updated URL.

As for your content, ensure you have headings such as "The definite guide to ..." / "The 2013 guide to ..." to signal to visitors that your content is updated. You can also try " ... (Updated Aug 2013)" in your header. Updates should be summarised and listed on the top of your posts so that visitors immediately know that your content has been regularly updated.

With that, the date snippets in SERPs will not appear to be old, and may in fact help to establish the authority of your post, since the post has been created a few years ago and has been regularly updated.

On top of email marketing, you can consider promoting it on your social media channels, and writing blog posts to promote your white paper. Treat it like one of your products, and market it the same way as you would normally do for your product. Here's a link that will be of relevance to you: http://www.benchmarkemail.com/blogs/detail/online-marketing-branding-how-to-market-your-white-paper

In terms of SEO, it would be preferable if you gave it a web-friendly url, which would help as a ranking factor, and easily shareable as a link. You would want your white paper to rank well on search engines too!

Comments made using Facebook Comments plugin can be indexed by Google, so akin to the default comment box, they are all considered as User-Generated Content and treated as positive social signals towards the SEO of the page. An advantage I can see from using Facebook comments is that users can share comments they made on their own profile, thereby exposing your comments to more people and encourage more people to comment on your page.

I'm not entirely sure if Google indexes all the Facebook comments made, or only the top comments. If the latter is true, it is a good sign since only popular (or quality) comments will be indexed as part of your page.

As of now, using latin characters for URLs is still the popular choice for international sites, as non-latin characters in URLS is still not yet widely supported and recognised. Since we do know that keywords in URL is a ranking factor (albeit not a huge one), it would be wise to stick to latin-characters for now from a SEO perspective. Moreover, it would be much easier to type and recognise a URL with latin characters rather than the one given above.

The best strategy for now is to ensure your page titles contain the keywords (in thai) that you want, since the page titles is going to affect click-through rates much more than localised urls.

Wow, that's a great site that you have! I really love the clean design and font choice - pleasing to the eyes and goes well with your decal products.

If there's one thing I can nitpick, you may want to do away with the carousel on your home page. It took me a while after arriving at your page to realise you are selling decals. Instead, use a photo of your most impressive decal, put a tagline (e.g. "Brighten up your house with our decal") and a large call-to-action (e.g. "Buy one for your house today"). I see that you offer samples, and in that case, your call-to-action can be "Order a sample today!".

I believe this will be more effective than flashing deals on the carousel, which visitors won't be interested in until you get them interested in your products first.

Hope that helps!

Hi there,

I've not actually used Pods with Wordpress, but from the plugin description, it seems like the plugin create custom post types for you. I believe Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin works mostly for sites using the default posts and pages, which is why the plugin did not pick up the custom post types that you are using. In this case, you will have have to look into other SEO plugins or actually doing your own optimisation.

In the case of a tourism site, I would recommend having more content on the main pages than blog posts.

Since you are likely to have a fixed set of attractions, you would want to focus on perfecting the content for each of them and providing clear call to actions to attraction pages on your main pages. Blog posts on latest events or news can take up a certain section on your home page, but your main content should still be photos or links to attractions, transport, food, etc that drives visitors to information they require for a trip to St Augustine.

Perhaps a good way to get some inspiration is to take a look at some of the tourism sites for the top cities such as London, Singapore, Sydney, etc.

Hope that helps!

Hi Rachel,

If you're planning to put an About Us description with relevant links, with the aim of driving visitors to your product pages, I would recommend you putting it somewhere above the fold instead of putting it in the footer. The footer is the last thing the user will see when visiting your website, and is probably a better place to put links which are less important.

An exception to this I can think of is if you are running a blog where the latest posts play a more important role. In that case, putting an About Us description in the footer (e.g. Copyblogger) will be wise.

Just to add on to Mike's response, it depends on how the description tabs are created. If each tab is created on a different page, then naturally Google will treat it as separate pages. However, if all the tabs are created on the same page, but CSS/AJAX is used to display each tab separately, then Google will still consider all the tabs to come from the same page.

Besides Googling, you can also check the page source code. If the content in all the tabs appear in the source code, they will all be crawled as a single page.

I would go for a long post in view of both SEO and user experience actually.

In terms of SEO, breaking up content into very short articles will shorten the length of each page, which may not be seen positively by Google. This can work out if you have a really long article, but with reference to the link you provided, I feel it would be better if it can be all in one page.

From a user experience viewpoint, it can be quite annoying for users to be clicking several times just to read the entire article. You would also have to optimise each page to load quickly (e.g. Mashable gallery posts), otherwise it will drive people away easily after reading the first 2-3 pages.

Hi Tony,

From the way it looks, your domain name looks like an EMD, and it may not be easy for Google to recognise that it is your brand name. Having exact keywords can help in your SEO, but from a marketing perspective, it doesn't sound like a good brand name.

You should consider giving yourself a unique name instead. It doesn't have to be completely without keywords, but you can consider using portmanteaus, or combining a keyword with an existing word. Moz (used to be SEOmoz) or ReferralCandy (we provide a referral marketing platform for ecommerce retailers) are good examples of how keywords can be used harmoniously as brand names.

You would need to consider in this case, which Google+ page and YouTube channel to use. I don't think you would be able to merge them together, but you would be able to choose which YouTube channel you would like to link with your Google+ page.

If your client is a singer, it would be better to be using the YouTube account that she is currently uploading her videos to and linking it to the Google+ page. If she has not uploaded any videos, then using the channel automatically created through the Google+ page would save you some trouble.

As for the Google+ page, you should be using the one tied to the website. Authorship won't be that important for your client unless she is planning on writing content regularly. Using the one that is already optimised for SEO would be the wiser choice.

My 2 cents worth!
