Page Penalization
-
Hiya,
Looking for some advice, i have a page which the on page optimization tool shows as an A grade and Google has indexed it. I have checked vie site: however is not being found in search results even for an exact match on the page title which is very specific.
I believe the page may be being penlized for over optimisation? any advice would be great!

The title of the page in question is the same term twice (the second time just includes 'in') The H1 is just the same term. Your H2 reads like it was only meant to stuff the term into it rather than actually be a header to help the reader know what the page is about. Every instance of the term in the copy is bold... just that kind of stuff. Less is more in today's SEO - at least that is what works for me... I would have to say that if this wasn't Manual Action the Panda just realized that the site was built for Google instead of the user. I am not speaking ill of your website at all - that is just how I see it. I am sure others may have different opinions.

Hi Andrew,
I went to that URL and found the following phrase:
"Packs which are designed especialy for those on holiday with"
I put that into Google as a phrase search, and that page from your site DID show up. Along with 14 other pages from your site. Have you looked at how much unique content is on each page versus how much is duplicated across pages?

Hi Billy
Thanks for your prompt reply, could you give me some insight into what you believe is over optimized on the page, there are a number of pages which seem to be being penalized including the homepage.
It is a new site so don't expect high rankings but in the top 50 i would at least thought have grasped by now!
Have not recieved any kind of message from Google and webmaster tools shows only expected errors ( few 404's etc).
Thanks

You mean only this page, correct? Although I agree that the page is over optimized, I wouldn't say it is any more over optimized than the home page... when I search the home page's focus term (family holidays spain) I don't find your site. Did you used to rank well? Has Google sent you a notification of Manual Activity, meaning that you have been knocked back?

Pages Crawled: 1 Why?

Is it possible to exclude pages from Crawl Diagnostic?
I like the crawl diagnostic but it shows many errors due to a forum that I have. I don't care about the SEO value of this forum and would like to exclude any pages in the /forum/ directory. Is it possible to add exclusions to the crawl diagnostic tool?

How many of my linked pages should I redirect (301's)
I'm moving my store to a new site and will have a much friendlier but completely different URL structure. I used Open Site Explorer to find inbound links to 513 pages and have done about half so far. The remaining pages have one link each at a page authority of 27 or less - but there are still 250+ of them. I have to manually view each old page, search for the product on the new site, and enter the redirect as there is no way to translate old URL's to new ones. How important is it for rankings to redirect the remaining 250 or so pages?

Page MozTrust: 4.9 www.website.com/ Subdomain MozRank: 5.21
Subdomain MozTrust 5.18 Does that have any significance? Should I be routing pages to the " / " version? Thanks, Daniel0 -
SEOMoz only crawling 5 pages of my website
Hello, I've added a new website to my SEOmoz campaign tool. It only crawls 5 pages of the site. I know the site has way more pages then this and also has a blog. Google shows at least 1000 results indexed. Am I doing something wrong? Could it be that the site is preventing a proper crawl? Thanks Bill
