Is it worth re-doing SEO for all existent products
-
We have a website and when we started, we had no clue about SEO, nor did we really understand the full extent of CRO amongst other things.
We have slowly learnt that there are many changes that need to happen to our site; however...do we need to re SEO all the content that is already on the website or can we purely start a fresh with the new products we feed through?
The website is:

i noticed the same thing, not only do you need some text content you need it above the fold.

Yes very new, only about 10% of the products have the content they require and this is something we are looking into at the moment. We wanted to know whether we needed to review the entire site and from feedback I think we definately do!
When we started the site our understanding on content, CRO & SEO was non-existent, as time progresses we have discovered how important it is and we are now going to begin reviewing the site...from page one onwards!
Thanks for the feedback about the visual side though!

It is a nice website and I like the logo etc but straight away I can see problems (to name one lack of content), is this a fairly new website?
I think looking at conversion rate optimisation is also a good idea, put down on paper the pages in your conversion funnel and start looking at each one picking elements which effect the users decision.

I always think it is good that your site has problems, because it means you can improve.
Good SEO is an investment, that pays off

As we are not from a marketing/SEO/CRO background, we are really struggling on where and why things go wrong. We are fine with META but when it comes down to duplicate page content, too many links etc, we are slightly out of our depth!
Think we may have to get someone on board to help us get things on the right course!
Looks like we are going to be here for a long time.......

i would go thought the site.
i did a quick crawl os a small part of your site and found quite a few problems. i would go though each page and fix up every thing you can find.
It may take you a few hours for each page, but over time it will pay off. Evey bit of link juice you can save, every crawling prioblem has a value in dollars (pounds in your case) that keeps on giving you a return day after day, year after year.

Google says :
you have about 6,490 results - pages indexed
you have about 28,400 results - pages linking to you
Are you happy with that?
Are you happy with your rankings too?
Both Yes? Then no I wouldn't change in big!
Maybe, start/improve small:
find issues on the site - User and SEO based
example?

ECommerce SEO for product categories and sub-categories
Hello everyone, We run a Magento store, and I have a general question about SEO-eCommerce. We recently launched a new site where we've modified the menu navigation for product categories. So let's say in the past we had a main category called 'Jackets' in the top navigation bar, and once you were on the jackets page you had a few subcategories to choose from. On the new site, we reworked the navigation bar in order to get our customers there in fewer clicks. So right away in the top bar, the customer can click 'Casual Jackets', 'Leather Jackets' and 'Winter Jackets'. We no longer have an internal link to the parent category 'Jackets'. Now here's the question:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | yacpro13
-Do I 301 redirect 'jackets' to one of the sub-categories of my choosing?
or
-Do I keep the main category 'jackets' even though we don't actually link to it internally? I see pros and cons for both, and I'd like to proceed in the way that will be most beneficial from a rnakings point of view for all jackets categories. Thanks!0 -
Is it worth Disavowing 15 links?
After a few months of blogging and redoing the home page, my client moved up from #40 to #1 for terms like "baltimore office furniture", "cubicles washington DC" etc. I did not do any link building for this campaign. This week, ranks are falling like a stone, and after months at #1 we're now back to #23 and lower for these terms. For the six months prior to August, we were getting about 10 clicks from referrals each month. Half way through August, we already have 35, and they are from spammy sounding sources like "search-error.com" and "search.pch.com". (screen shot attached) Should I disavow these links? There are about 20 different sources I do not recognize (see screen shot). Thanks! 6sD3oLL

Best SEO Strategy
Hi fellow Mozers: I have a question about strategy. I have a client who is a major real estate developer in our region. They build and sell condominiums and also built and manage several major rental apartments. All rental properties have their own websites and there is also a corporate website, which has been around for many years and has decent domain authority (+/- 40). The original intent of the corporate website was to communicate central brand positioning points, attract investors and offer individual profiles of all major properties. My client is interested in developing an organic search strategy which will reach consumers looking to rent apartments. Typical search strings would include the family whose core string would be 'apartments in Baltimore.' (Currently, the client runs PPC for each one of their properties. This is expensive and highly competitive.) In doing research, we've found that there are two local competitors who are able to break on to Page 1 and appear beside the National 'apartment search guides' who dominate the Page 1 SERPS (like apartments.com). The two local competitors have websites of either the same or lower authority than our client's; one has a better link profile, the other is comparable. Here's our problem: our local competitors only build and manage apartments. So, then, the home pages and all the content of their sites ONLY talk about apartment rental related information. Our client's apartment business is actually larger in scope than either local competitor but is only one of their major real estate verticals. So my question is this: if we want to build out a bunch of content which will rank competitively with our local competition, are we better off creating a new area of the corporate site, creating targeted content and resources appropriate for apartment seekers OR would we be better off creating an entirely new site, just devoted to the same? I'm wondering if a new section will ever rank well against competitors whose root domains actually feature content which is only rental related? Likewise, I'm wondering whether we'd be giving up too much, in terms of authority, by creating an entirely new site? I've also only found examples in the industry where an entirely new site was created, so it makes me question the strategy of building out a rental-specific section of a site which also contains information about their condo business. For instance, the Related Companies are a huge builder in the East; they have a corporate site and a site called https//relatedrentals.com . Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Is it worth redirecting?
Hello! Is there any wisdom or non-wisdom in taking old websites and blogs that may not be very active, but still get some traffic, and redirecting them to a brand new website? The new website would be in the same industry, but not the same niche as the older websites. Would there be any SEO boost to the new website by doing this? Or would it just hurt the credibility of the new website?

Is it best to have products and reviews on the same URL?
Hi Moz, Is it better to have products and reviews on the same or different URLs? I suspect that combining these into one page will help with rankings overall even though some ranking for product review terms may suffer. This is for a hair products company with tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of reviews. Thanks for reading!
