Hi Diane,

As far as your content is awesome it will not going hurt you. Write blogpost and inter link to your targeted landing page, it will improve website navigation as well as ranking.

Thanks for adding, I only prefer opensiteexplorer for backlink analysis. See the total number of links counts. It means opensiteexplorer has crawled more pages.

As per Opensiteexplorer, you have 52 linking root domains and total 384 Links. You can checkout more links here :

Hi Fredric,

Hi Frederic,

Its like keyword meta tag, some people still uses it. Archives and Tags helps visitors in navigating website, I personally prefer to put noindex meta robots tag on those pages because they will not look good in SERP.

Hi Guys,

Do you know this ???

Matt Cutts of Google said in a Google Webmaster Helpforums that links from press releases shouldn't have a positive impact on your rankings.

More information: http://www.seroundtable.com/google-press-release-links-16136.html

Hi Rahul,

Actually its not the error,  you can have more than 100 internal link on a single page. In report, SEOMOZ just point out the pages so that you can look into it. You will see same whenever they find canonical tag on your web page, they just report you so you can verify it out.

Mostly home page contains information about website itself which can't be part of "how", "why" query. In cuch query you normally see blogpost, inner page, question/answer sites, article directories etc. BTW Good observation Charles.

Hi Joel,

I have read that some where that Google doesn't use Google analytics data for ranking. Here is the Matt Cutt video on it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgBw9tbAQhU

And about ideal Bounce rate : Its totally depends on your niche. For example:  SEO blog ( user engagement )  should have low bounce rate but in case of deals ( Click to claim to get the deal )  sites its better to have high bounce rate.

Don't use pop ups, Improve website design, focus on Navigation & Usability, Reduce website loading time, Use multimedia ( Video) for user engagement. There are many other depends on your niche.

Hope this help you out....

Hi Sarthak,

Meta Description are important if those pages are ranking in SERP. Meta description helps you in showing deal. short summary of page. Are those pages are important for you ? If you don't put meta description tag Google will automatically take content from your website, DMOZ content, social signals etc....

Hi Edward,

Can you also check for targeted country setup in Google webmaster Tool ?

Have you tried Google image search ? Just upload one image then you will get all results where that image is used. I think its going to play good role seo but I don't know how ? Let me guess : I think if we have same profile picture then it will going to help more because Google can able to recognize those profiles. I am not sure.

Hi Joel,

I think Google+ author profile will going to get more exposure in SEO. And from your list, I think unique content should be useful content to visitor. Now Google also able to search images so it will also going to play some role in seo.

Hi Braunna,

Do you have related pages for those 100 pages ? 301 redirect is the best solution in your case only when you redirect those pages to most relevant pages so that some authority get transfer to those pages.

Hi Michelleh,

Tom Schmitz searchengineland has written awesome post on " Website Structure & interlink link ?"

Hi William,

SEOmoz robots needs sometime to crawl the web pages. Wait for some time it will surely show those backlinks.  And it will also show nofollow link.

Hi Dorm

Here i found a great post written by Danny Goodwin on : Organic vs. Paid Search Results: Organic Wins 94% of Time

Hope you found this post interesting..

Hi Kristian,

First of all, Google will not going to treat it as duplicate content as we share titles and URLs in social sites not the whole content. The more your content  get shared, the more it will help you in getting ranking as well as traffic.

As you have done all 301 redirect so you don't have to worry about it because for search engine that pages is permanently redirected to other which was earlier temporary. Now search engine start indexing your new URLs and start removing old URLs from search index as they don't exist now.

Hi Iain,

You are not going to penalised by doing 301 redirect. 301 redirect are permanent redirect which are consider as seo friendly.
