Home Page optimising for Office furniture online
-
Hi I have a full page for office-furniture-online. With a fair bit of text on it!
We use visual composer for this on wordpress - but we can't get a rank for it
I wondered whether as it is our key term - whether we should focus on the home page for this - but the issue we have here it the amount of text we can add to the home page without it looking silly - could we have a slide in side tab with information on or is this frowned upon?
-
hi, so, we would recommend building quality backlinks, to the homepage, then each of the product pages. make sure the backlinks are white hat, must be very high quality. we managed to get a company in Bristol which builds log cabins onto the first page using this method of organic seo

Great points by Roman and Tim!
I'm willing to bet that this keyword is super competitive and you'll really need to dig in in order to rank for it. The things that I would start with:
1. Competitor analysis for the specific keyword (per Roman's recommendation) - evaluate 2-4 top competitors
2. Competitor backlink analysis
3. Optimize the indivdual product pages first - go for longtail keywords in order to try and get some organic ranking
-
Some great points from Roman.
Also of note! How old is your site? Are you providing rich unique content that serves the customers needs? Office supplies if a very competitve market and can take time for your SEO to take effect.
What are you looking to rank for? your brand name or products anc product categories?
I used to work for VOW (Then - Post Office shop, Caboodle, FindMySupplies) and Mamas and Papas here in the UK and invariably the home page was pretty much reserved for brand traffic. I would imagine you ideally would want your category and product pages to be the main ranking pages giving the customer the quickest route to basket.
Cheers

Should you do on-page optimization for a page with rel=canonical tag?
If you ad a rel=canonical tag to a page, should you still optimize that page? I'm talking meta description, page title, etc.

Product Page Links
I have a product category page at https://www.hurtlegear.com.au/s1000rr/ which currently has 38 products on it. Problem is, all the product titles start with the name of the text: "bmw s1000rr" (because that's what they are) - so that means there are 38 anchored internal links on that page, all starting with the same keyword. You can see how that might look to the Google crawler. Recently that page dropped from around 15 to outside the top 100, and Moz tells me that the page is keyword stuffed with "bmw s1000rr" (no suprise) so I'm guessing that may be the reason the page has disappeared out of the SERPs. I don't really want to change all the product titles (then they wouldn't make sense) so I'm just wondering if there is any way around this? Is there some way of telling Google that this is a product category page and therefore to ignore the anchor text in all of those product links? Can/should the links have some kind of markup on them? Or is the page beyond help? Basically I'm looking at a way of keeping the product titles as they are, but avoiding a page penalty from Google somehow. I'm a bit of a newbie, any suggestions would be most appreciated. Cheers, Graeme

Would you reply on the homepage to rank for all these terms or create seperate pages for the terms, and if so how would you group the terms per page?0 -
Why isn't our site being shown on the first page of Google for a query using the exact domain, when its pages are indeed indexed by Google
When I type our domain.com as a query into Google, I only see one of our pages on the homepage, and it's in 4th position. It seems though, that all pages of the site are indexed by google when I type in the query "site:domain.com". There was an issue at the site launch, where the robots.txt file was left active for around two weeks. Would this have been responsible for the fact that another domain ranks #1 when we type in our own domain? It has been around a couple of months now since the site was launched. Thanks in advance.

Anyone done SEO with on-page ONLY?
I read this blog post: http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/let-onpage-optimization-change-your-life The author claims they have increased the visitors 50 fold doing on-page seo ONLY. So they just added content, and optimized the site structure. Anyone have seen similar results? Not outreach whatsoever, just adding content to site. Technically, this should be true, article directories has tons of visitors and they were giving out links.

Duplicate Page Titles
I have over 200 duplicate page titles on a site that I am working on. Does putting a date at the end of some of them make it a unique enough title?

Nofollowed internal links from the home page
Hi, I'm conducting an on-page review for someone and have noticed something I've not seen before. Some of the major internal links from the home page are marked as no follow. For example: <a <span="">href</a><a <span="">="</a>/customer-services" rel="nofollow">Customer Services This is on the top navigation bar and the content in this and all other sections are marked as no-follow but they should all be crawled. Is this an error or am I missing something? Any ideas guys? Thanks Bush
