SEO Tools for Content Audit
-
Hi i'm looking for a tool which can do a full content audit for a site for instance -
Find pages which:
• Lack text content.
• Finds pages with lengthy meta descriptions
• Finds missing H1 tags or multiple H1 tags .
• Duplicate meta descriptions.
• Find images with no alt text
Are there any tools besides the ones on SEMOZ which can enable me to do a full content audit on factors like these.
Or any SEO audit tools out there which you can recommend.
Cheers,
Mark

Agreed; I take SF over Xenu any day.

All of these are great options.
If I can add a great chrome extension is "Web Developer" by Chris Pendrick. It doesn't do everything you want, but it can gives you a few easy to use SEO tricks right in your browser.

I'm a huge fan of using things like screaming frog to get a lot of raw information, and then pushing them through something like link detective (or the links extension for excel) to get data on all the pages.
Screaming frog will give you some valuable info like
- title length
- meta description length
- h1-h6 info
- Meta Keywords info (basically to know if anything is there so you can remove them)
- Duplicate meta descs. titles etc
It's also free for less than 500 URIs
Hope this helps

I would suggest SEOmoz Crawl Report tool for this. It has got wealth of options to get all the details that you need regarding lack of content, duplicate pages, duplicate meta data .. give it a go.

Hi Mark,
Can't help you with the "lack text content" but for everything else I'd recommend:
Xenu - Free
A1 Website Analyser - Free 30 Day Trial
Screaming Frog - £99/year

As a bonus when doing a content audit for a site, I'd recommend CheckDog - it's not free but a spell checker for your entire site is invaluable.

Re-using content
Hi, I've just sold the domain for a website, so I'm free to re-purpose the content over to another website I own. How can I make sure that Gg doesn't deem it as duplicate? Do I need to let Gg naturally realise that the 'original' website no longer has the content on it? Do I need to hold-off putting the content live again? Should I notify Gg by-way of a de-index request, etc (assuming the domain won't incur any difficulty if I do this)? Thanks in advance.

Hypothetical SEO Question
I am running a website for a law firm. It has been running for many, many years and has plenty of backlinks and authority. I then create a standalone website for a specific type of case that the law firm is handling. On that website, I have a page that copies some of the attorney bio text from the main website. How much of a negative impact will this standalone website have on the main website as far as duplicate content issues are concerned? Please explain your answer in detail. Thank you in advance.

How do I Syndicating Content for SEO Benefit?

How do I create a strategy to get rid of dupe content pages but still keep the SEO juice?
We have about 30,000 pages that are variations of "<product-type>prices/<type-of-thing>/<city><state "<="" p=""></state></city></type-of-thing></product-type> These pages are bringing us lots of free conversions because when somebody searches for this exact phrase for their city/state, they are pretty low-funnel. The problem that we are running into is that the pages are showing up as dupe content. One solution we were discussing is to 301-redirect or canonical all the city-state pages back to jus tthe "<type of="" thing="">" level, and then create really solid unique content for the few hundred pages we would have at that point.</type> My concern is this. I still want to rank for the city-state because as I look through our best-converting search-terms, they nearly always have the city-state in the search term, so the search is some variation of " <product-type><type of="" thing=""><city><state>"</state></city></type></product-type> One thing we thought about doing is dynamically changing the meta-data & headers to add the city-state info there. Are there other potential solutions to this?

Duplicate Content On A Subdomain
Hi, We have a client who is currently close to completing a site specifically aimed at the UK market (they're doing this in-house so we've had no say in how it will work). The site will almost be a duplicate (in terms of content, targeted keywords etc.) of a section of the main site (that sits on the root domain) - the main site is targeted toward the US. The only difference will be certain spellings and currency type. If this new UK site were to sit on a sub domain of the main site, which is a .com, will this cause duplicate content issues? I know that there wouldn't be an issue if the new site were to be on a separate .co.uk domain (according to Matt Cutts), but it looks like the client wants it to be on a sub domain. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Breadcrumb Trail for SEO?
Due to the fact that we aren't in the #1 position, (dropped from #5 to page 2 - You have to love Devs and IT), our heads have hired a SEO Audit/Consultant company to review everything we are doing. I would like to post some of the things they are telling us to do, in which I don't 100% agree with and would like some other professional feedback. Especially since their site isn't marketed very well. http://www.trupanionpetinsurance.com Disclaimer: (this site was a complete nightmare when I started a year and a half ago. Yes, there are many issues that still need to be addressed.) Breadcrumb Trail They have asked us to implement a Breadcrumb trail on every page, where the final page is the only H1 Tag. Are breadcrumb trials important for SEO? (I know they are helpful for Users, but SEO) Are they important for Search Engines to track back for structure. Any thoughts about them?
