Need assistance in improving SEO of website

Dear SEO Expert,
We run a website www.guitarmonk.com. Moz has told us of some errors at our website viz.:
Especially duplicate content etc and whatever in addition you suggest should be good for the website for certain relative important keywords.

As I mentioned before I would recommend concentrating on reading the Moz Guide to SEO then systematically checking and improving your site in accordance with the advice. At that point ask any questions you have on here - this is a brilliant community with lots of clever people so you are sure to get some great help.
Reading the guide should remove this confusion and it might well bring up some more specific questions. At the minute I am snowed under and won't be able to jump on a call, but any specific questions or elements you are struggling with bring them to the community and ask. Try to be a specific as possible and give examples if you can this will allow people to help you. You are welcome to drop me a private message, but as I say there are lots of experienced people on here and getting more than one persons advice and experience is what makes this community invaluable. You also have members all over the world so you are likely to get a quicker response posting on here rather than waiting for one member to come online.
Hope this helps

Sure Matt,
I will read out the article links you shared. I know there is a symmetry of things to be rectified in the website related to 301 redirect would help.
Can you have a look at it for a while ?. Being candid, I am already confused on how to do it if someone can guide me for even 5 minutes and I am sure I can do it.
A Viber call can work :-).

Hi Kumar
Oh ok - that makes sense well there are lots of people that can help you on here - however I would consider having a go at some of it yourself as your site isn't huge and you could improve some of the basics before getting help. The resources above should really help and off course you have the community to turn to - just a suggestion to help you get the most for your money. As ever I guess this boils down to your time available and budget - good luck
Best Regards,
Matt

Thanks Matt,
Actually, I am looking for someone who can do this on my behalf :-).
This website is a wordpress hosted blog and not self hosted one so unable to install Yoast plugin.

Hi
In terms of how you can handle duplicate content I would suggest having a look at this guide from Moz themselves - http://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content - if you then have specific questions don't hesitate to come back and put them to the community - you are sure to find some great advice.
In terms of how you can improve your websites SEO I would suggest that you look at Moz's free guide to SEO - there are lots of things that you can do to get your websites ranking improving for keywords that you are targeting.
http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
I see your website is on WordPress - I would recommend that you consider installing the Yoast SEO plugin - it will help you optimise your site in terms of SEO. This will also help guide you on how to use it -

4 questions about a paragraph of SEO friendly text in my e-com websites header.
Hi guys, I'm trying to understand the SEO behind our websites header. www.mountainjade.co.nz As you can see we have a paragraph of relevant introductory text that is also SEO friendly in our header. What I would like some help with is understanding how google views and assigns 'juice' to information like this in the header or footer of a website. Usually certain pages have content specific to a given topic, and google ranks these pages accordingly. But with a websites header / footer its content appears on every page as the header is always at the top and footer at the bottom. 1. In what way does my website benefit from the paragraph of text in the header? e.g at the domain level? Just the home page? etc etc 2. How does google assign 'juice' to the paragraph of text? (similiar to Q1). 3. How would my website be effected if I moved the text to the footer? (Aesthetic change) 4. When I 'inspect element' on the paragraph, it is labelled 'div id=site description.' Can someone please explain the relevance of a sites description to SEO for me. This paragraph of text was in the websites header before I came onboard, and I've been too concerned to change / move it as I don't know enough about it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks team, Jake

SEO Behind a paywall.
Good Morning! Does anybody have any experience with SEO behind a paywall. If we have a portion of a website that is going to be locked, will google still be able to access all of that regardless of paying? If not is there any way to circumvent that? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! MOZel Tov!

Links on My website
I am looking to create some more trust on my website by subscribing to BBB. I have heard that my site is penalized and loses "link juice" if I place the BBB logo link in my page footer on every page of my website. Does anyone know how much I am penalized? Should I only put it on my conversion pages and maybe my main 10 sub pages? My main goal is to assist in getting conversions but I don't want to do it at the expense of getting a penalty. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Boo

Redirecting my new Website URL to my old Website URL
Hi! OK, I am semi - new to SEO Moz but have been self-teaching for 3 years. However I am stuck.. I have been operating my e-commerce site from www.shopadornonline.com for the past 3 years. I just purchased www.shopadorn.com Right now Shopadorn.com re-directs to www.shopadornonline.com because all my products and links go to shopadornonline.com/productblahblahblah I guess I am stuck. Not sure what to tell my web designer to do? Do I give up on having shopadorn.com OR do I start re-directing customers and doing 301 re-directs? I think from what i have read that it is bad to have traffic going to both shopadorn and shopadornonline as they compete for rankings? Where should I start?

Wordpress blog integration with full website effect on SEO
I have searched and searched for the answer to this question and can't find it. We are going to be launching a Wordpress blog on our domain shortly, however we have a much larger site that is mixed with static and dynamic pages full of custom programming tied to databases, etc. that we are running around the blog and can't integrate that into Wordpress due to its complexity. What this means is we have to install Wordpress on our servers somehow separate from the pages of our website. What I am wondering is if we run Wordpress in the /blog directory of our site as a separate installation if it will inherit the domain authority of our domain (currently around 60) or if it will be viewed as a separate site and get no ranking. Also, will our main site inherit the additional link juice from the inbound links that we get from the blog with it being separate from the main site? How does this need to be setup on our webservers to ensure the blog gets authority of the domain, and the blog contributes maximum SEO value to the domain? Any help would be appreciated.
