Does the homepage of GetSatisfaction have very good on-page SEO? please give some critique
-
Hi Mozzerz,
If you have done successful on-page SEO optimization in the past, this may be easy for you to analyze quickly. (especially if you have some tools to help you compare things like keywords vs code weight etc)
Does the homepage of www.GetSatisfaction.com constitute a well done on-page SEO?
Could you please critique the homepage's SEO value and say why it is very good or why it is OK, or why it is bad.

Ryan nails all of the basic issues, so I will just add something: When I went to the site, having never heard of GetSatisfaction.com, for whatever reason my eyes went to kiddiecare and Pampers logos first. I immediately thought it was some type of aggregator of children's items for moms. Then, I was drawn to Start A Community today. Soooo, what Ryan says is correct regarding "no clear message."
Given your client list and your DA and PA, you seem to have something to sell, but I don't think many people would know what that is from visiting the site. Ignoring the slider, the three buttons below are: Get Satisfaction for Facebook, The Age of the Customer, and Sometimes Size Does Matter. With everything on the page, you may be trying to give too many messages. I would clean it up to one or two coherent ideas and then use menu tabs and internal links to bring in the rest.
Hope this helps,

Does the homepage of www.GetSatisfaction.com constitute a well done on-page SEO?
This type of question is difficult to answer without knowing the client's requirements. What I can share is there are element of good SEO along with numerous opportunities for improvement.
A sample of opportunities to improve:
-
Use the canonical tag. The following URL offers the same home page with a 200 header code which leads to duplicate content. This duplication should be eliminated and a canonical tag provided. http://getsatisfaction.com/index.html
-
Reduce external links. The home page offers 66 internal links and 56 external links. The ratio of external links is too high. One issue is the site uses many subdomains which I would recommend merging in to the main site.
-
There is no H1 tag
-
The alt tags don't really help
-
There is no clear message. At no point on the home page does the company share "Get Satisfaction provides Online Community Software which enables brand owners to engage in targeted conversations with their customers...." Instead there are vague descriptions such as "Give a voice to brand champions", "63k companies trust Get Satisfaction", etc.
A few things they do well:
-
Clear Call-To-Action with a "Free Trial", "Contact Us" and "Tour" button prominently displayed
-
clean URLs for main site
-
social engagement offered
In summary, there are several things I would like to change, but with a PA of 93 and DA of 92, the site is clearly performing well.

Local on-page SEO
If it feels like you are doing something wrong, then you 'probably' are... Local on-page SEO When optimising a page for local SEO, and trying tick all the usuals boxes, you find yourself adding words like 'golf clubs leeds' which sounds awful when part of a natural paragraph of text. Does Google recognise this poor use of grammar? We try to be as creative as possible, as not to offend the visitor, but it feels wrong... any advice? Thanks

Keyword at homepage
Hi there! Is it true that the most relevant keyword should it be located in the home page of a website since it has the most link-juice or this statement is a "myth"? Thanks

Why don't all my pages have On Page Optimization Reports
Apologies if this question has been asked a million times, but I can't find it. I have 35 pages, yet only 5 of them have generated On Page Optimization Reports. I know I can create them manually, but wondered if I've done something incorrectly? Iain.

SEO Location Pages - ALT Image Tag Question
Hello Guru's, I have a Hire Website whereby you can rent products online. I have created different Location pages for these which are in essence the same pages page but with different location specific urls, title tags , on page content etc etc. This helps me to rank for local search. These location pages also display 20 products per page. My question is Should I make the ALT IMAGE TEXT location specific for each of the 20 products . Example - Steam Cleaner Rental in "location" or should I only amend a few of the Atl Image Texts to be location specific. I don't want to come accross as spammy in google eyes but I also don't want to be seen as having duplicate content , images etc etc What do you think ? thanks Sarah.

Can you 301 redirect to a page that has other pages 301 to it?
Two years ago updated url page to include better keywords and used a 301 redirect from the old page to the new. so www.example.com/keyword-1st-generation.html now points to ... www.example.com/keyword-2nd-generation.html That moved the pages up in ranking, but now have better kw for the url, so is it okay to redirect the /keyword-2nd-geration-html to www.example.com/keyword-3rd-generation.html And what is a good length of time before removing the 1st-generation url? It's been 3 years and there is no chance of using it again. Plus, no sign of it in analytics.

On-Page SEO Priorities: Title's, Anchor Text or Meta data?
**Any suggestions for prioritized on-page SEO work? Relative weights of importance? ** **What is most important from highest to lowest? ** MetaTag Descriptions? Titles? Anchor Text? Alt Text - for images? Anything else? We might not be able to do everything at once like I desire ......but I do feel we should at least get the ball moving in the right direction. I am looking for ideas or suggestions on what to prioritize for a little bit of on-page SEO work on our website. I personally feel that SEO is pretty important but I am a novice. I have been reading this site the past week and want to convince my webpage guy that on-page SEO is important and that we should at least do a few things and gradually get the work done. Rightfully so our #1 priority is to redesign our landing pages (they are bad) . I also think we should do a little On-Page work concurently. (Lack of on-page SEO is also preventiing me from successfully submitting and being accepted by Dmoz, Yahoo, BOW etc) He is mainly a back engine guy and does a very good job with that. If I were to TELL him to do a few prioritized on-page SEO things what would you suggest? He did do something on the home page at my suggestion but that is all to this point. We have over 400 pages indexed with very little on-page SEO on them. Thank you, UtahTiger
