Since you are running an e-commerce site look into deploying some micro-formats / rich snippets. So pop over to schema.org and start implementing some of them. They are perfect for what you do as you can tie your reviews and stock details into every item

Take off the Magento Favicon. Also put some content on the home page.
http://www.yourjigsawpuzzles.co.uk/ is a new domain so why should it rank so fast. Registered on: 16-Jan-2012
Start writing some kick ass content. Freakin' make it up and redo it. READY FIRE AIM! I think puzzles help little kids have fun and learn how to concentrate. Make a puzzle and frame it. Put it on the wall and take a picture. There are so many things you can do!

Look at my home page (it's magento too) and I rank for everything. But my landing pages combined bring in way more traffic than the home page.

Hi Rhys,
I don't think 18 occurrences of a keyword on a homepage is too much , if there is other supporting text. A couple things I noticed on your site is there is no contextual information on your homepage. I would try to add a content block that talks about your store, service and location. This would dilute the overall keyword "jigsaw puzzles" a tad, while providing some information to your customers.
The second thing is the store logo is the only thing in the H1 tag. You are missing a big opportunity here without having text in there. If at all possible I would remove the H1 tag from the storelogo and use it in the content I suggested you add.
This advice seems to also be pertinent to your category pages.
Ecommerce stores I believe get a little bit of lye-way when it comes to the amount of links & keywords on each page, simply by nature of the store. Look at stores like Amazon, or eBay they will have tons of occurrences of keywords on a page simply due to the amount of different products they sell which are similar. Amazon started paginating their results but still when you search for a broad keyword on their site you're going to get a page loaded with that keyword.
There are a few other things I will mention, but you maybe aware of them.
From a users perspective there some links I would want to use (like save 10% logo is not a link). Customer Service, Contact Us, Gift Cards all direct to the same page, Blog link is not working, and having payment logos which link to nothing is also a put off.
I'm not trying to criticize your site, but these are issues I noticed without spending much time on your site so I feel strongly customers may notice them as well, I hope by pointing them out here you can see about addressing them.
Hope it helps

Personally I would remove one of the two words "jigsaw puzzles" occurring in the websites title.
If you can limit that word to about 15 times of occurring, that would be optimal. I looked at your page source and indeed it would be hard to limit the number of times it gets repeated. Try to add other keywords in, like Puzzle Games!
Hope this helps!

International SEO Options?
Hi we currently have a site which is a example.com domain in the Australian market (we have geo-targeted to Australia within search console). We are looking to expand to United States. I have added the potential options down below, just wondering which one you guys think would be best from a SEO and practical standpoint? Or if there are other options i should consider? Option 1 The Australian domain is strong so this option takes this into consideration. Keep example.com (Australian) Add on: Sub-Directory for US Which would be: example.com/us/ In Search Console set the sub-folder to target US and also setup hreflang tags. Setup the US site on the sub-directory. Option 2 Add sub-folders for both Aus and US example/au/ (Australian)

example/us/ (United States) Setup hreflang targeting. Cons
Need to set up redirects for the current site to new location which is .com/au/ might also see drop in performance due to redirects. Cheers.0 -
International SEO
Hi all, The company that I work for is planning to target some french (and some other foreign) keywords. The thing is, in our industry, you can't just hire someone to translate the content/pages. The pages have to be translated by an accredited translator. Here's the thing, it costs a LOT of money just to translate a few thousand words. So, the CEO decided to translate a few of our 'core' pages and SEO them to see if it brings results. My questions are, would it be possible from a technical point of view to simply translate a few pages? Would that cause a problem for the search engine crawlers? Would those pages be 'seen' as duplicates? Thanks in advance guys!

Advanced SEO question.
Hi, I manage and do the SEO for this site: www.aerlawgroup.com. If you Google "Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney", you can see I rank well (1st page). I have managed to achieve similar rankings for interior pages within the site: www.aerlawgroup.com/domestic-violence.html (Google: "Los Angeles Domestic Violence Attorney".) Here is my question. No matter how hard I try, I cannot get to the first page on Google for the search term: "Los Angeles DUI Lawyer", for the following interior page: www.aerlawgroup.com/dui.html. Is there anyway that I can pass the authority/ranking (not sure what to call it) that I have for www.aerlawgroup.com to www.aerlawgroup.com/dui.html so that internal page ranks higher for "Los Angeles DUI Lawyer"? I apologize if my question doesn't make sense. In a nutshell, I'm trying to understand if there is anyway to use the ranking I have for www.aerlawgroup.com to help me rank higher for Los Angeles DUI lawyer for the dui interior page. If not, are there any other suggestions anyone has to achieve a higher ranking? Thanks!

If Penguin 2.0 targets specific pages and keywords, should I spend less SEO effort on them since will they be harder to optimize? Penalty repair is only starting at end of year.
I’m working with a company that got hit by Penguin 2.0. They’re going to switch to white-hat only for a few months and review analytics before considering repairing the penalty. In the meantime, would it make sense to focus less SEO effort (on-site optimization, link building, etc.) on any pages or keywords that were penalized or hit hardest? Or are those the pages we should work on the most? Thanks for reading!

Critique My Site For SEO
Hi Everyone, I was wondering if someone might critique my site and let me know what you think. I've done pretty much everything I know to do proper seo for my site. I'd love to hear some critiques about what I am doing wrong. I'm not sure if my titles are okay, being that they are similar amongst pages. The other thing is that for all the javascript buttons on the top I have no followed them since they don't have any anchor text. The way google will crawl my page is through the links in the footer. I was thinking of moving them throughout the body of the page since I hear google isn't giving as much weight to footer links. I also wanted to hear what you think about putting a blog on my site and updating with fresh content as opposed to creating a separate blog and then linking back to my website with anchor text. Thanks for all the help. And glad to be a member Bill
