How "Optimised" is my home page content
-
Good afternoon from 1 degrees C overcast frozen wetherby UK...
I've made a number of on page html markup changes to optimise the page for steel suppliers steel stockholders but I'd like to know if there are any other on page improvments I could make for this page http://www.barrettsteel.com/
Im particulary concerned that contnet in in li tags and not p, could this be an issue?
And finaaly on the home page a third party developer has slapped a header banner pointing to an external site know as woodberry tools, that cant be good can it?
Any insights welcome

I should have been more specific. While the social icon buttons should be present, you should also include the open graph protocol on the site.

Dan1el he was referencing adding social networking code to site.. Ie share on facebook, retweet, +1 google, +1 facebook..blah blah blah.
Personally given his industry, I'm not sure how many people are going to around +1'ing a Steel Supplier, but I'm a little hard headed when it comes to social networking.

Hi Nightwing,
Site looks good,
If you could slip another 1 or 2 instances of steel suppliers in there, and personally I'd also try for the long tail keyword _UK steel supplier_s. Though your company does look like a global company, in the US I would certainly type US steel suppliers before relying on a global supplier but that maybe irrelevant as I"m not in your industry, just a thought.
The banner you referenced takes me to a site with the Barrett steel logo so that makes sense if they are distributor, I would rather that it was opened in a new window / tab then moving the user off your site. It also appears to be the same template they you are using.
Overall I think it looks very good.

Sorry to jump in here! can you tell me a little more about the social code, how does it work, where can I get it?
Cheers
Daniel

First off, great looking site!
I wouldn't worry about the li tags vs the p tag - quality content will always trump any display issues.
The banner is of great concern since that is what I was tempted to click on first, thinking it would lead me to more information on your site. I noticed that you don't get a navigation option until the images for your content appears in the banner. If possible, you should really push for that same treatment for the starting image of the banner.
The only other suggestion would be to include some social code (open graph) so that you can get some link love from FB!
Hope this helps!

Duplicate pages with "/" and without "/"
I seem to have duplicate pages like the examples below: https://example.com https://example.com/ This is happening on 3 pages and I'm not sure why or how to fix it. The first (https://example.com) is what I want and is what I have all my canonicals set too, but that doesn't seem to be doing anything. I've also setup 301 redirects for each page with "/" to be redirected to the page without it. Doing this didn't seem to fix anything as when I use the (https://example.com/) URL it doesn't redirect to (https://example.com) like it's supposed to. This issue has been going on for some time, so any help would be much appreciated. I'm using Squarespace as the design/hosting site.

Why is the Page Authority of my product pages so low?
My domain authority is 35 (homepage Page Authority = 45) and my website has been up for years: www.rainchainsdirect.com Most random pages on my site (like this one) have a Page Authority of around 20. However, as a whole, the individual pages of my products rank exceptionally low. Like these: http://www.rainchainsdirect.com/products/copper-channel-link-rain-chain (Page Authority = 1) http://www.rainchainsdirect.com/collections/todays-deals/products/contempo-chain (Page Authority = 1) I was thinking that for whatever reason they have such low authority, that it may explain why these pages rank lower in google for specific searches using my exact product name (in other words, other sites that are piggybacking of my unique products are ranking higher for my product in a specific name search than the original product itself on my site) In any event, I'm trying to get some perspective on why these pages remain with the same non-existent Page Authority. Can anyone help to shed some light on why and what can be done about it? Thanks!

SEOMoz Crawl Diagnostic indicates duplicate page content for home page?
My first SEOMoz Crawl Diagnostic report for my website indicates duplicate page content for my home page. It lists the home page URL Page Title and URL twice. How do I go about diagnosing this? Is the problem related to the following code that is in my .htaccess file? (The purpose of the code was to redirect any non "www" backlink referrals to the "www" version of the domain.) RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^whatever.com [NC]
Technical SEO | | Linesides
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.whatever.com/$1 [L,R=301] Should I get rid of the "http" reference in the second line? Related to this is a notice in the "Crawl Notices Found" -- "301 Permanent redirect" which shows my home page title as "http://whatever.com" and shows the redirect address as http://http://www.whatever.com/ I'm guessing this problem is again related to the redirect code I'm using. Also... The report indicates duplicate content for those links that have different parameters added to the URL i.e. http://www.whatever.com?marker=Blah Blah&markerzoom=13 If I set up a canonical reference for the page, will this fix this? Thank you.0 -

Lost ranking once optimised a page
Hello, we're a new member of SEOMOZ and love it but have a problem. Obviously the reason for joining is to learn more about SEO and hopefully get our website ranked a lot better than it currently is. However, one particular page we've chosen to optimise (based on your tips) has since lost ranking and we can no longer find it in the searches. Is there a reason for this? We've only made the on page changes you suggested and also added more external and internal links so I can't understand why it would no longer be listed in the searches? I look forward to your reply/feedback. Many thanks Peter
