Can Anyone show me a site that has followed the seomoz seo rules
-
Hi i have been reading the seo information on here which is very interesting and i would like to know if anyone can point to any sites that have followed the rules and advice.
It is great when you can read the info and rules but i feel it is also better to see a site that has followed the rules and to hear from people who have followed the information and put them into practice and explain what results they have got.
I am currently building the following website http://www.womenlifestylemagazine.com
so it would be great to see a site that has followed all the rules and who can explain if they work or not.

I am not sure that it helps rankings yet, but it cannot hurt them and it will help at some point in the future. As search engines try harder to understand what sites are about, using contextual markup will help. These changes to HTML and also the schema.org rich snippets will be used in future and will help. SEO is evolutionally as are development practices and it is all about staying ahead of the competition when search engines change the playing field.
I do know following the guidelines here, getting strong relevent links built and ensuring a fast user experience helps rank on sites we built. Does it give us an advantage oer the competition? Maybe, only time will tell.

hi this is a good site. so does this help with rankings and google by showing what the articles are on the site. at the moment i use sef404 so would have to add this to the site. sef uses h1 and h2 etc

We are setting up a site at http://www,dreambuilders.com.au which uses all those tags to seperate articles from navigation and the aside. It is still in development but the HTML 5 tags are set up.

can you give me an example of a page where you put this into place please
-
Sure Diane, Thanks. If HTML5 there are specific tags to denote type of content.
-
- means that the content between these tages is main content
-
<nav>- is the navigation links</nav>
-
<aside> - is subsiduary content, such as ad content and general information</aside>
This allows for seperation of interests and allows your site to have a logical flow and still provide contextual infromation about the content. If you look at our markup you see content wrapped in these tags.
-
-
very impressed with your site, can you explain what you mean by the following. We tag to HTML5 where it is clear what an article or main section is and navigation or subsidary links are,

Hi, I am a developer and hire an external SEO to do the link building but we do the site optimization following guidelines pointed out here and using the Moz Tools for our site www.oznappies.com
We tag to HTML5 where it is clear what an article or main section is and navigation or subsidary links are, as these are defined in the standard. This means we have total control of content meaning that Google will index. I also noticed that Google is including site speed in their beta analytics and so we optimise for performance, using best practices and cdn for js libraries. It is worth running your site through www.gtmetrics.com to see where you have performance issues that will affect rank in the near future, as Google is aiming at 5sec load time for user experience.
We are a new site (3 months old) and have moved from 100+ to page 1 for all our targeted key phrases, including the most competitive ones. We have in-house content authors writing original content every couple of days and posting on relevant forums and blog comments. We are now in the process of taging as schema.org rich snippets to prepare for search engines factoring this in.

oh yes content is god
you need content first
for links refer to http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links
-
-
sorry what i mean ref the info is.. the seo info as far as i understand is saying that content should come first rather than links to other pages as otherwise google sees that the page as a link page http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/basics-of-search-engine-friendly-design-and-development
but i cannot see any sites who follow this rule.
the other question is the links that you gain from other sites, do you join link swapping sites or do you contact websites to request a link exchange or write articles to gain links or use other methods to gain good quality links to your site.
-
i was talking about links from other sites to your site?
actually i dont understand your question
-
just looked at your site which is a great site. i have a question. in the info that i have been reading it is basically saying that by having the links first google just thinks it is a link page and should have the content first so google understands what the site is about. but saying this, you have your links first according to cache and the tool that is recommended to use and 99 per cent of sites also have the links first which is understandable. now this confuses me because it is naturally that you want your menu bar at the top or at the side, so i do not understand why the seo information is saying basically that you need your description and content before your links unless i am misreading it.
-
thank you. i am just about to look at your site. what do you look for when you search for quality links. do you join a link exchange programme, ask for links or look for sites where you can gain a link.

hi there - well I have pretty much followed the advice on here for my website (at least tried)
feel free to take a look - Garden Beet performs very well in natural search - but then I spend oddles of time optimising - onsite and offsite
The best offsite SEO strategy is getting high quality links that point to your domain - I have seen my website perform well - the problem is getting the right anchor links poiinting to the correct page - that kind of task is what will give you a position in the top 3
The best onsite SEO tasks are all the meta tags, unique content etc BUT your site has to look good to get people to share or bookmark your site -while a sexy site is overlooked by the robots its what draws people in
What I find amazing is the gap in knowledge between SEO people and developers - and dont believe developers who says they know all about SEO - unless they are actually doing it regularly - I fail to see how they can keep up -
if you have a very large website sometimes developers do not understand the key terms you are optimising for a given page - and inadverntely apply a h tag to a non-optimised sub heading- you need to watch the developers for little issues like this to ensure you SEO objectives are being achieved for each page - even templates sometimes get assigned the wrong h tags - duplicating the error site wide - it is difficult to know whether fixings errors such as these has a direct impact on search straight away
but I do know when all my meta was incorrectly copied over to a new site I lost over 50 key search positions - as soon as they were restored my positions were reinstated - let me say that was not fun - but clearly demonstrates the importance of correct meta titles and descriptions.

Best way to do site seals for clients to have on their sites
I am about to help release a product which also gives people a site seal for them to place on their website. Just like the geotrust, comodo, symantec, rapidssl and other web security providers do.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | ssltrustpaul
I have notices all these siteseals by these companies never have nofollow on their seals that link back to their websites. So i am wondering what is the best way to do this. Should i have a nofollow on the site seal that links back to domain or is it safe to not have the nofollow.
It wont be doing any keyword stuffing or anything, it will probly just have our domain in the link and that is all. The problem is too, we wont have any control of where customers place these site seals. From experience i would say they will mostly likely always be placed in the footer on every page of the clients website. I would like to hear any and all thoughts on this. As i can't get a proper answer anywhere i have asked.0 -
Google can't access/crawl my site!
Hi I'm dealing with this problem for a few days. In fact i didn't realize it was this serious until today when i saw most of my site "de-indexed" and losing most of the rankings. [URL Errors: 1st photo] 8/21/14 there were only 42 errors but in 8/22/14 this number went to 272 and it just keeps going up. The site i'm talking about is gazetaexpress.com (media news, custom cms) with lot's of pages. After i did some research i came to the conclusion that the problem is to the firewall, who might have blocked google bots from accessing the site. But the server administrator is saying that this isn't true and no google bots have been blocked. Also when i go to WMT, and try to Fetch as Google the site, this is what i get: [Fetch as Google: 2nd photo] From more than 60 tries, 2-3 times it showed Complete (and this only to homepage, never to articles). What can be the problem? Can i get Google to crawl properly my site and is there a chance that i will lose my previous rankings? Thanks a lot

Can Linking Between Your Own Sites Excessively Be a Penguin No-No?
I have a bunch of travel-related sites that for a long time dominated google.com.au without any intensive SEO whatsoever. Aside from solid on-page content and meta tag, I did no link building. However, all of my sites are heavily interlinked, and I think they are linked with do follow links and lots of anchor texts. Here are a few of them: www.beautifulpacific.com www.beautifulfiji.com www.beautifulcooklands.com My idea in inter-linking them was to create a kind of branded "Beautiful" nexus of sites. However, when Penguin hit -- which I believe was on April 27th -- search traffic crashed, and has crashed over and over again. I've read that Penguin penalized over-optimization vis a vis anchor text links. I don't have a lot of inbound links like these, but they are everywhere among my sites. Is it possible that all of my text links have hurt me with Penguin? Thanks to everyone in advance for your time and attention. I really appreciate it. -Mike
