Whats your regular routine ? Can we learn new things from each other
-
I tend to work on the on page changes first of all following keyword research. Then take a look at some internal linking,
Setup a wordpress blog on /blog or sub domain and get my copywriter to start adding regular content .
Next stage is link building
Old fashioned emails requests, blog comments taking a look through existing sites we own for relevant places.
On going analysis once positions change.

Well, lets hope that when they sort the h1 issue, it goes higher still
I didn't check the source to look at the CMS, is it a custom CMS?
Re: it's existing rankings, although h1's are important, like most SEO triggers, they are just a part of the pie... if everything else is taken care of nicely, then rankings are still possible even without optimised h1 tags.
Oh, and thanks for taking the post the right way!

Hi no worries yeah I totally agree. The company that provides the CMS are making this possible soon.
I am still amazed this site is first page for mens skincare already.

Hi
Just chipping in here, so hope it is welcomed, and you don't take offence!
http://www.dryhide.co.uk/ - the h1 tag is 'Home' Is this intentional? Would you not consider using a relevant phrase?
Hope you take the question as it is intended, helpful advice, and not a criticism!

Would you guys be open to share some examples of your work ? Here are a few of mine -
http://www.dryhide.co.uk and http://www.alfrescolivingonline.co.uk
Working on both of these at the moment would be cool to get any positive or negative (you can improve here) feedback.

I pretty much do the same for clients, but I also correct errors, add more headings where appropriate, add bold text subtitles (basically follow the SEOmoz guide). I also go social. I recommend Hootsuite.com to manage and analyze social media campaigns. It's been noted that Google likes fresh content, so keeping active on Twitter, Facebook, forums, etc. does count. Starting a newsletter helps with inbound traffic, too.
I also take it offline. Getting the word out in mailings, ads, posters, etc. with your website address or a qr code makes things fun and does increase traffic. Hold events, participate in gatherings, join clubs, etc. to get the word out. If you have the budget and it's relevant to your business, building a mobile app for all smartphone platforms will get you an application page and inbound links to your site on very high ranking sites.
Oh there is so much more. I'll post again when I get a second wind.

Go out to the SERPs looking for the best content for a group of keywords that I want to write about.
Decide if I can beat the best content out there. If "yes" the project moves forward.
Spend a few days to a couple of weeks working on the content.
Toss up the finished content being sure that it has a good title tag and social share buttons.
Write a blog post about the new content, add links to the new content at appropriate locations on our site.
Back out to the SERPs looking at content for another set of keywords.

New Website SEO Implications
Hi Moz Community, A client of mine has launched a new website. The new website is well designed, mobile friendly, fast loading and offers a far better UX than the old site. It has similar content but 'less wordy'. The old website was tired, slow, not mobile responsive etc but still ranked well. The domain has marketing leading authority and link metrics. Since the launch, the rankings for virtually every word has plummeted. Even previously ranked #1 words have disappeared to page 3 or 4. New pages have different URLs (301s from the old urls are working fine) and still score the same 98% (using the Moz page optimiser tool). Is it usual to experience some short term pain, or are these rankings drop an indication that something else is missing? My theory is that the new URLs are being treated like new pages, and that those new pages don't have the engagement data which is used for ranking. Thus, despite having the same authority of the old pages, as far as user data is concerned, they are new pages and therefor, not ranking well - yet. That theory would make logical sense but I'm hoping some experts here can help. Any suggestions welcome. Here's a quick checklist of things I have already done: complete 301 redirect list

Moving to new platform
I am moving a site with great SEO and tons of pages to a new platform. Page names will all be different because they will not have the .html ending and names will change. It is on a system that does not support .htaccess. So, I don't have a way to do 301 redirects. How can I keep my competitive status? Thank you!!

New site failing to rank - could this be why?
I have a new client site that is not appearing anywhere in the top 100 for its main keywords. ASSUMING that this is not an issue with optimization or link quality, I am wondering whether it might be the following... The client's company has a parent company whose website has decent authority. This website links to the new (client) website. In addition, the 2 press releases we have done include links to both companies, since one was an outgrowth of the other. This is all 100% natural, so my inclination is that this is not causing the issue. But does anyone have any experience to suggest otherwise? That having website A linking to website B, and 50+ press release websites linking to both, could be causing the algorithm to throttle website Bs ability to rank? Thanks in advance!

Can noindexed pages accrue page authority?
My company's site has a large set of pages (tens of thousands) that have very thin or no content. They typically target a single low-competition keyword (and typically rank very well), but the pages have a very high bounce rate and are definitely hurting our domain's overall rankings via Panda (quality ranking). I'm planning on recommending we noindexed these pages temporarily, and reindex each page as resources are able to fill in content. My question is whether an individual page will be able to accrue any page authority for that target term while noindexed. We DO want to rank for all those terms, just not until we have the content to back it up. However, we're in a pretty competitive space up against domains that have been around a lot longer and have higher domain authorities. Like I said, these pages rank well right now, even with thin content. The worry is if we noindex them while we slowly build out content, will our competitors get the edge on those terms (with their subpar but continually available content)? Do you think Google will give us any credit for having had the page all along, just not always indexed?

What is the best way to learn SEO?
I was wondering if it's worth taking an SEO Training course. If so is it better to take a live class or Online class. Or is better to just read all the SEO Books out there? Or is there a good video series anyone can recommend? What is the best way to learn SEO? I have a good understanding of SEO but I'm not a Pro ( Yet ). Obviously SEO is always evolving so even the Pro's are constantly updating their skill set but I want to make sure my foundation is solid and complete. Advice Please. Thank you all.
