Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello there, I agree with Oleg. As we digital people say, make it sticky and make it look great. Also, try to differentiate it from the most common social media and interests people in order for them to come back.

A good place to start is identifying the search volume you are looking at targeting with the Google Adwords tool. From there you can identify the competition of the sites currently ranking and put together an optimisation strategy for your content. The point is you need to identify what you want to rank for first, then it is the age-old; good quality engaging content and building backlinks from authority sources.

I would second FDFPres' suggestions. The site needs to have content accessible to the public which Google can also crawl and index. I would choose content types that best fit your target keywords, audience and brand! -Dan

Hi, The meta keyword tag is pretty much useless in terms of ranking, so if these are the keywords you are referring to then I would not expect to see any results. In terms of improving rankings, in the first instance you will need to give the search engines (and users!) some more information about what your site offers. Having a quick look at your homepage I have no idea what yookos offers that would make me want to register. I would recommend getting some text into the homepage describing who your site is aimed at and why it is different from other social type sites. Your page title for example is 'Log in with your Username | Yookos', this is not helping the search engines understand what your site is about! The same comment goes for your meta description: 'Yookos is one of the leading and fastest growing social networking sites that provides a safe and engaging environment for users.'. Why is it a leading and fast growing network? Who is the main target audience(s)? Beyond the homepage, it would help to get some more indexable pages on the site. Some ideas might include users guide or frequently asked questions type pages which will give you some more content that you can use to explain what the site is all about to users that have not already registered and also give the search engines some more information and pages they can use in the serps. Hope that helps!

Hi there, Thank you for reaching out!  I took a look at the issue, it looks like what went on is that you have a few 302 redirects in place on your site where it formed a series that took Roger to a place where he is having trouble crawling your site.  Here's what the interaction looks like: Initial homepage ---302---> intermediary index page ---302----> final landing index page. This interaction is not an idea situation with Roger crawling your site, since it has a traditional problem crawling redirects in the first place, this is an issue with the site structure that caused this issue. In regards to your site having more pages, it looks like to get to those pages, you would have to register or log in, at this time roger does not the ability to fill out forms in a crawl.  Unfortunately I am not a web developer, so I don't know the exact way to implement changes on your end to allow our crawler to crawl your site. Hope that helps, I will keep this thread open to allow others to chime in. Best, Peter SEOmoz Help Team.

Hello, Alternatively to Tom's suggestion, you could use "search term" -site:yourdomain.com just to ensure it is only your domain that is being removed from the results. Sometimes your brand might be referred to by its web address and -yourdomain.com wouldn't return that result. Thanks, K

From the page with Crawl Diagnostics on your Campaign you can export all the data to CSV. This will provide you with an overview of all urls SEOMoz crawled during it's last crawl.

Social Network sites are pretty much different from the normal sites as much of the data is user generated. I think what you really need to do is to build some relatively active and serious communication on topics that has been discussed by people. At the same time if you don’t have a blog and guidelines pages on the website, I would consider adding them as this will help your blog and guideline pages appear in Google. But... the best strategy which i think will work for your kind of website is to promote your stuff by working on content promotions like Guest Blogging, White Papers, QnA’s, E-Books and more...
