Help finding someone to handle crashing site/site optimization.
-
I need someone who can handle website/WordPress issues as they come up.For example, my site has gone down 4 times tonight, and my host can't figure it out. They also keep recommending that I optimize my site, but I don't know how. I need a go-to web person for this sort of thing. Any recommendations?
-
I hear ya there. I have sites on Pair.com (really good) and I'm getting ready to move a site to Liquid Web. Both have exceptional support and reliability and "scale" well. I'd start looking at those specifically.
Hope that's helpful Charles. Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion. As for next tier hosting, have any recommendations? We're in a situation where a "generic" host worked fine in the beginning, but as our site has grown it just doesn't seem the current host is a long-term solution.

Hey Charles, sorry you are having problems.
I would like to suggest you check-out WP Fix It. I've used them in the past for clients who needed just what you need right now: a monthly managed WP service to do all the heavy lifting for you.
The price for their service is $57/mo. Here's a list of what that service plan looks like:
- Premium Stable Hosting
- Elite Security Protection
- Daily Full Site Backups
- Monthly Software Updates
- Personalized Agent Connection
- Unlimited Issue Support
- FREE website transfer
Now, again, I have no direct involvement with the site myself but I've used them multiple times and I've always been impressed with how fast they respond to client questions and concerns...including when a site "suddenly goes down."
In your case, if your "host" can't figure it out then your host probably SUCKS. If you are using the Bluehost and GoDaddys of the World that may explain your problem. So it's possible that migrating you off your host to something more "reliable" may solve a lot of your problems.
But if you need a suggestion, check-out www.wpfixit.com. You can do much, much worse.
Good luck and keep us updated in the thread!

Rel Canonical help
Is it possible to confirm this to me please? My understanding of the rel canonical tag was to tell google of duplicate content? so for instance product 1
On-Page Optimization | | TeamacPaints
www.ourdomain.co.uk/products/category/subcategory/theproduct1 Product 1a
www.ourdomain.co.uk/products/category/subcategory/theproduct1a same content just a different colour would be rel canonical'd to Product 1 as thats the main product, is my understanding correct? Now here is what I have discovered. www.ourdomain.co.uk/products/category/subcategory/theproduct1 has a rel canonical tag that reverts back to www.ourdomain.co.uk/products/ which isn't optimized as such its just a generic catalog page. This is inccorect and google will dismiss the actial product and revert to the generic catalog page? any help would be great.0 -

Similar Keywords/Different Pages
My question is about my content strategy regarding keywords and page creation. For this example I will use the following keywords: "widget financing" "widget leasing" "widget loans" "thingy financing" "thingy leasing" "leasing loans" "whatchamacallit financing" "whatchamacallit leasing" "whatchamacalit loans" You get the idea. Now I have created a separate page for each of these keywords. There are about 70 keywords and their respective pages. Although all of these describe the same thing I have re-written each page. In other words I didn't use the same content and just substituted the keywords. Each page is roughly 200 to 500 words. I do rank very well for most of these keywords. I would post some of the pages from my site here but I didn't know if that is frowned on. My fear/concern is will I get in trouble in a "post Panda" world. Again, the pages rank very well I just want to be in good graces with Google going forward.

Is there any benefit in on-site duplicate content?
I have about 50 internal pages on my site that I want to add a "Do it yourself tutorial" to in an effort to build the quality of the pages. Is this going to de-value the content if I put it on all 50 pages? It's difficult to write similar content 50 different ways.

Best site structure for SEO
Hi, I'm currently in the process of redesigning/rebuilding a well ranking but a dated looking and structured website. Using analytics info I'm trying to put togerther an optimied site map plan for the site based on keywords. Currently the site is structured like this (a few examples) for some of its best ranking keywords / landing pages www.companyname.co.uk/frames/software/companyname-software/keyword/overview.php www.companyname.co.uk/frames/software/companyname-software/keyword/keyword.php I'd like to simplfy this as part of the re build so url's look like this www.companyname.co.uk/companyname-software/softwarecatogry/keyword Obviously I would 201 the old urls. My question is : A. is this a good idea? (From what I've read it is?) B. is there any benifit from having the company name repeated in the url (ie www.companyname.co.uk/companyname-software). My thinking before this is that companyname-software currently ranks well and brings a good amount of traffic. Or should I just go with www.companyname.co.uk/software/softwarecatogry/keyword as opposed to www.companyname.co.uk/companyname-software/softwarecatogry/keyword? Many thanks in advance!
