Keyword Appearing on Home Page - Moz Page Grader
-
Hi
Today I entered www.partydomain.co.uk through the Moz Page Grader and found that the Home Page is Ranked B.
I noticed that an Area we could improve on is the amount of times we are using our main keyword "Fancy Dress" on the home page.
Please can you take a look at www.partydomain.co.uk and scroll to the bottom of the page were the tabs are containing losts of content. I am thinking about removing all of thoose Tabs. Our Competitors dont have any content as such on the home page and are ranking higher than Party Domain for "fancy dress"
What do you think ? remove all the tabs to be like the others that rank better? Or cut the text right down ?
Thanks
Adam

Thanks Andy , I would really appriciate that

Great to hear you have recovered Adam.
Also, it is worth remembering that as good a job as MOZ do, they aren't Google so you can't really use that as a definitive gauge of how well you are doing in that department. It's a 3rd party indicator (albeit a good one), nothing more.
If you wish, I can run a quick scan of your backlink profile to see how it looks?

Thanks Andy
Totally Agree
No so far I have been working to recover the site from a Manual Action which I have now done and recieved confirmation from Google in Webmaster Tools, after this the site went o page 1 for "Fancy Dress" previously not in the top 100 pages.
I havent looked at link building as such yet as our DA and PA suggests we should be higher than our competitors in the serps
Thanks

Hi Adam,
I would remove those footer tabs. I have never been a fan of these as there is always speculation over what Google can and can't see, depending on how they are implemented.
Try to resist the urge to get your key phrases into the page too many times. Google are pretty smart at figuring these things out and as you said, your competitors are ranking well without the need to do this.
I would also be focussing on link-building for the site as that will be one of the biggest contributors next to content. Have you done much of this for the site?

Description tag not showing in the SERPs because page is blocked by Robots, but the page isn't blocked. Any help?
While checking some SERP results for a few pages of a site this morning I noticed that some pages were returning this message instead of a description tag, A description for this result is not avaliable because of this site's robot.s.txt The odd thing is the page isn't blocked in the Robots.txt. The page is using Yoast SEO Plugin to populate meta data though. Anyone else had this happen and have a fix?

Index Page Content
Mozers, I am of the believe and as a person who puts the utmost emphasis on the index page of any website I am trying to rank, especially with a new domain ... insuring content is relevant, structured, optimized and we have some link juice flowing in. I find once we get the index page ranked, Google's little bots then start to index and rank accordingly the rest of the website ... and we start producing results. We also develop websites (dare I say its where we expertise in) and unexpectantly the client has asked us to carry out SEO work additionally to their web development. Problem lies here, their index page, has absolutely no written content at all, just one large image with a logo (Fashion Website) ...Which I identify as a huge issue as per my explanation is paragraphs one or two. I am sure withe the many more qualified SEO experts and gurus within the SEOmoz community, you have also come across this issue So a few questions, if you don't mind adding advice. 1 - Am I putting too much emphasize on content within the index page, in terms of indexing and actually ranking ...yes I appreciate that terms within the website will be ranked against other pages other than the index page, but will it harm us for having no content at all within the index page 2 - If so, and yes is the answer to above, how do we handle it, we have spoke with the client and he is pretty adamant that he want the index page as is, he has been through out the whole website building process. As suggested, any advice would be really appreciated, its a difficult market to rank within a it is, and i can only see this index page making the task a lot more difficult Cheers John

How does a keyword get crawled and pointed at a certain page
I was wondering if you can give me some insight on how a keyword that I put on my campaign gets linked to a specific URL on my website by SEOMoz or Google. For example: updating a brick fireplace is my keyword. On the campaign when I am looking at my on page optimization, the URL assigned (or given) to it is my homepage. How is this determined and is there a way around it and or directing it to the correct page? Thanks

Would I be safe canonicalizing comments pages on the first page?
We are building comment pages for an article site that live on a separate URL from the article (I know this is not ideal, but it is necessary). Each comments page will have a summary of the article at the top. Would I be safe using the first page of comments as the canonical URL for all subsequent comment pages? Or could I get away with using the actual article page as the canonical URL for all comment pages?
