Any SEO suggestions for my site?
-
Site in question: http://bit.ly/Lcspfp
Does anyone have any suggestions for any on-site SEO that would benefit my website?
Any recommendations, big or small are appreciated.
-
Another great resource to add to my list.
Already implemented some of the suggestions.

Didn't think about the Webmaster URL Parameters tool. I've gone ahead and sorted them out.
Looks like Google takes a while to update it though.
Checked out the rel-canonical for Magento and found out that Magento now supports this without the need of Yoasts plugin. Sorted that as well, thanks!

Whenever I see a Magento implementation I immediately refer people to Yoast's write-up on the subject. He's about the best you can find from an expertise perspective on SEO and Magento. And to get even more goodness, the Magento Forums are a place to spend some quality time and Magento specific SEO discussions.

Hi,
Your website is visually appealing, it has a good structure and it's easy to navigate.
Having said that, I would change a few things:
-
Product descriptions are not unique, you can find the same text in many other websites. You can expand on the manufacturers description or create your own (unique) product description.
-
It seems that you are not taking advantage of social media. I would incorporate Facebook, Google+ and other types of social media sharing buttons in each product page as well as in your homepage.
-
Your about us page is empty, you should correct that. I would also add some text to your homepage; talking about your company, the products you offer or why your customers should choose you.
-
I don't think you need to link that many times to your homepage, you have at least 4 links to the homepage from the homepage itself. "Shop Categories" doesn't really need to link to the homepage.
-
The keywords meta tag may not hurt, but Google doesn't give it any value. I would take it out.
-
Not really a problem, but you have tons of js files loading in your header, you could combine and optimize all in 1 file.
-
You sitemap lists many pages with priority of 1, and a "daily" change frequency. You might want to correct that.
I just took a short look at your website, and those are just a few things you can do to improve your site. You could also run promotions and post them on daily deals type of websites, run giveaways, etc. in order to attract traffic and links.

Looks like a Magento site. I notice in the Serps that you have a lot of duplicate content showing up because of the parameters on your URL's. Everything after a ? in a URL like this one:
http://theboardgamers.co.uk/fantasy-board-games.html**?dir=desc&order=age**
Add your site to Google Webmaster Tools and under URL parameters help them see to avoid things like ?dir and any other parameters. Usually they are pretty good at doing this automatically. I would also recommend adding the Magento extension called Yoast Rel Canonical. For a good explaination check this out:

This is just a quick glance item but I hope it helps.

Seo for international sites
Hello, I have a question for the group, our main US site- http://www.datacard.com is utilized to move content to other regional sites like http://www.datacard.co.uk/ and http://www.datacard.fr/ and http://www.datacard.com.br/. Anyhow, we essentially have some regional content on those sites, but for ease of maintaining and updating the content we have a company translate this for us and then undergo an in country review for local people in our company to review the content. That being said the meta descriptions, titles, code, everything gets translated to that language. I know there are issue for SEO for these purposes as we get much better rankings with http://www.datacard.com. The regional sites are newer so this could be part of it. We don't have an agency helping us with SEo and i get a lot of questions on what can be done internally for this for regional sites with our current structure. Any tips you have? It would be greatly appreciated! Laura

Just looking for ideas for the process of finding topics for the most link-bait-heavy fabulous content. The owners of the site are authorities in the field. This is for both blog and article content. Thanks.

Better SEO Option, 1 Site 3 Subdomains or 4 Separate Sites?
Hey Mozzers, I'm working with a client who wants to redo their web presence. They have a a main website for the umbrella and then 3 divisions which have their own website as well. My question is: Is it better to have the main site on the main domain and then have the 3 separate sites be subdomains? Or 4 different domains with a linking structure to tie them all together? To my understanding option 1 would include high traffic for 1 domain and option 2 would be building Page Authority by having 4 different sites linking to each other? My guess would be option 2, only if all 4 sites start getting relevant authority to make the links of value. But right out of the gates option 1 might be more beneficial. A little advice/clarification would be great!

SEO Provider
At the risk of opening the flood gates, I'm posting this in hopes of finding a SEO provider on this site. I'm currently a member, and have learned a lot through this site, but I'm still having issues ranking higher. Because of this, I have come to the conclusion that I need a dedicated SEO company/professional who can help our company reach the next level. I'm open to suggestions of companies that you have used, or please feel free to throw your hat into the ring. Thanks in advance! AW

Can Anyone show me a site that has followed the seomoz seo rules
Hi i have been reading the seo information on here which is very interesting and i would like to know if anyone can point to any sites that have followed the rules and advice. It is great when you can read the info and rules but i feel it is also better to see a site that has followed the rules and to hear from people who have followed the information and put them into practice and explain what results they have got. I am currently building the following website http://www.womenlifestylemagazine.com so it would be great to see a site that has followed all the rules and who can explain if they work or not.
