Cache Not Working on Our Site
-
We redesigned our site (www.motivators.com) back in April. Ever since then, we can't view the cache. It loads as a blank, white page but the cache text is at the top saying:
"This is Google's cache of http://www.motivators.com/. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on Jul 22, 2013 15:50:40 GMT. The current page could have changed in the meantime. Learn more. Tip: To quickly find your search term on this page, press Ctrl+F or ⌘-F (Mac) and use the find bar."
Has anyone else ever seen this happen? Any ideas as to why it's happening? Could it be hurting us? Advice, tips, suggestions would be very much appreciated!

You are more than welcome mask it to solve your problem? Because it does not seem to me that the problem is with your cash it seems to me that the problem is with to many calls on the DNS and the site structure do you want to talk to me about this I can tell you I know quite a bit about site speed

Thank you, Bereijk and Thomas, for your responses!

to give you a short answer a content delivery network will help with caching quite a bit.
Implement max CDN your site will not be perfect, but you will not have to worry about a cache problem.
However the problems with your site run much deeper than what you're questioning suggest is the issue.
Honestly you need to clean up the code quite a bit.
However using a CDN even cloud flare a free CDN would help your site dramatically.
Sincerely,
Thomas

Dallas you have an extremely slow loading website
Page size
2.7MB
Load time
9.99s
Requests
195
I honestly rarely see a page that has almost 200 requests this is not a good thing especially considering you're not using a quality DNS company use DynECT or if you think Dyn is a lot to spend uses DNS Made Easy
I have never heard of your hosting company
You are using http://www.webair.com/
so I cannot tell you if it is good or bad I would move to a company that I trust however I know nothing of your hosting company so it could be good I just don't know it check out fire host they will have everything you need including DNS and content delivery networks but the real issue is your front end the code is extremely bad there's a lot of JavaScript getting in the way of everything I would recommend moving to media Temple and using their DV server with cloudflare's railgun it is free media Temple hosting accounts and I strongly advise you do not use their GS server it is garbage
You have a google page speed of 82/100
The page Promotional Products and Promotional ... got an overall PageSpeed Score of 82 (out of 100).Learn more

Because cloudflare's railgun rewrites your code for you this could help you immensely but you really need to hire a web developer and have your site code fixed to have the best possible outcome I can recommend firsthand using
He can fix your site

I would add a content delivery network Max CDN is a inexpensive and very easy to implement CDN along with being one of the few that offer support at such a inexpensive price.
I hope this was of help,

The homepage takes more than 9 seconds to load, I can imagine that the crawler of Google hasn't taken the time create a snapshot of the page... I would try to speed up the website first... much better for user experience and also for rankings.
Check this report: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130722_RJ_13WT/ and this one: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130722_3R_143F/
Check this site about speed: http://www.strangeloopnetworks.com/web-performance-infographics/.
Not sure if that is the solution, but I would start fixing the speed issue rather than worrying about the Google Cache Pages...

Linking to my Site so I should Link Back?
I remember hearing a few years ago that it was a good practice to link back to a site that was linking to you. My company's site was referenced and linked to in a news article. The news company has an above average domain authority, which is pretty good for my company's backlink profile. Is it still or was ever a "best practice" to link back to this website/domain? I feel like linking back was a best practice, but when I try to search this, all I get back is backlinking 101 and backlinking articles. Nothing really answering my question straight forward. Thanks for any help.

Is a micro site the way to go?
Hello, a client has asked us today to quote for how much it would cost them to get a micro site built. A Google employee has told them that because their current URL doesn't include .co.uk or.com it is simply: brandname.word that it will be harder for them to get their website to rank. My understanding is that micro sites aren't a good solution for any problem as Google doesn't like them. Would it be better for them to buy a .co.uk (they are a UK company) url and then redirect the url to their current website or is there a better solution? Many thanks

Multiple Domains for One Site
We are building a site for a new miniature golf course. They have a long name, which they don't want me to mention, but it's equivalent to a name like Golden State Golf and Putt. They also have a restaurant with its own name and brand that will be a part of the mini golf course and its website, much how Hotel websites have their restaurants on their sites. Before becoming our client they purchased golfandputt.com and want to go with this domain for simplicity sake. In addition to this domain name they purchased 7 others that contain the bussiness' full name in some way, such as: goldenstategolfandputt.com goldenstategolfandputt.net, goldenstategolf-guitar.com etc., As well as: 3 variations of the golfandputt.com domain 3 variations of the restaurants name They wish to have all of these redirect to the main website or the restaurant page to "help with SEO," as they told me. From what I have researched on SEOmoz it seems better to simply optimize the website for Golden State Golf and Putt and the restaurant page for the restaurant's name. Additionally, I'm worried that redirecting the domains to the site will actually hurt them in rankings. If someone can shed some light on what the best practices for this sort of situation are I'd be much appreciative. Apologies in advance for the lengthy explanation but its a bit of a unique situation.

What happens if my site was down for 10 hours?
Hello, We have a fairly large site. Due to an attack it was taken down for about 10 hours. We have finally been able to resolve the security issues, restore the code and put everything back online. Now, we are a little bit worried about what GoogleBot will think of us. We have been working hard during the past months to get a better SEO. Should we be worried?

Question about an older more obsolete site
I have a website that I don't use much anymore but it ranks on the first page for one of my main keywords. I am using another few websites in different niches right now that are doing better and are more functional. It may cost around 1,300 or so to get the website that I don't use anymore, to look and function in the new ways of the internet. Would you suggest that I: Do a site redesign (which is more difficult because to make the site do what I want it needs to be out of a wordpress theme) or 301 redirect the site to another one of my sites? Would it make sense to do a 301? The domain is 5 years old but doesn't bring in any leads anymore because it would take a redesign for that to happen. How can I still benefit from the SEO that I have done on that site? Thanks and sorry if this message is hard to follow. If I need to clear anything up please let me know.

Should I create mini-sites with keyword rich domain names pointing to my main site?
Hi, I'm new to seomoz (and seo in general) and loving it so far. My main domain name is more of a brandname than a search engine friendly list of keywords. I rank well for some keywords I optimized for, and less so for the more competitive keywords. I was wondering if making one page minisites hosted on keyword rich domain names could help in this respect? What I want to do is just have a single page with a few paragraphs of content and links to the main site. I am not looking for links to boost the main site, just for the minisites to do better for several keywords. Will this help? Is this ok, or against some Google policy? Can this hurt the main site rankings? Thank you! **Edit: **I noticed that sites ranking above me on the first page for some keywords have much less on-page elements than my page, have about the same domain trust and also very little inbound links. The only factor I can see is the exact match of keywords in the domain name.
