Please Help ! Strange description
-
The site http://goo.gl/bQkCF is displaying a strange description for keyword "taxi software" in google.com (second position ). Instead of description, text "logo" is being displayed. I understand that there is no description on the site, but still why this text. I would appreciate if you would let me know if anything is wrong with the site.

Yes both js and css, i would also try to get a bit nore content in their also
-
Should i suggest the client to create an external .js file. It will reduce the code by quite a bit.. There are too many lines of javascript code.

Thanks Mark.

Many Thanks Stephen .

Thanks a lot Alan for your time in taking close look at the site and for useful links.

The first text element in the site is the alt tag of an image of "logo".
This explains where it is coming from, as to why slightly stranger.
Look through your source I see no real paragraphed block of text. All of the text seems to be quite short, fragmented sentences.
When google has to create a description by itself it normally tries to find a suitable paragraph containing the keyword. Since I can't even see your keyword within the page, this may explain why google fails on making a relevant description and simply uses the first sentence (single word) it finds.
Solution 1) Add some well written text containing your keyword.
Solution 2) Add a description meta tag.

Hi,
I could not detect a meta description in your code. Maybe try adding this to the page head section:
name="description" content="YOUR DESCRIPTION TEXT" />

If you look at your souce code, it is a long way done the page before you get to any content, the first content found is the alt tag text "logo", this is almost 400 lines of code down the page.
after then there is only short menu text for many more lines, there is not real text content to about 800 lines.
if i take a line of text "Free taxi private hire software" of your page and do a exact macth search your home page is not found in google index. it is found on deeperpages but not on your home page
this is your problem

Expired Content for Annual Events - Advice Please?
Hi, I've started working with a client that provides VIP packages for various sporting events. They have a number of landing pages for these specific events that happen every year. What's the best way to go about maintaining traffic and optimising these pages going forward? I looked to see how some of their competitors are handling this and they seem to create a new landing page for the following year and simply add a '301 Permanent Redirect' to the old (expired event) so it points to the next one. Is this the best approach or is there a better way to handle this? Alternatively, would it be OK to simply change the dates on the existing page to the following years dates (when available) or simply add a 'Dates TBC' with some basic information. Help/advice would be appreciated 🙂

Need Professional Help with Site Structure, Page Authority, and Internal Linking
We are a 10 year + small (1000 pages) niche ecommerce site (Magento) that has recently lost rankings to a competitor. We out perform them in every metric so I do not understand them leap frogging us to the top spot. This has forced me to look at my site structure, page authority (rank), and internal linking. After reviewing a moz crawl issues report, here are some of my observations: Root domain has a PA of 40 Top 3 $ Category pages have a PA of 22, 18, 18 Multiple meaningless blog posts and other category/product pages have PA’s of 30+ Here is a screenshot of the crawl report with internal links, links, etc showing. I need some help - thoughts, suggestions, next steps in analysis?

How many words for product description
Hi, I've read articles on the MOZ blog, which stress the point for unique product descriptions. I think this was even mentioned in one White Board Friday. Now I am in the process of writing them. How many words should they have at least in your opinion? Best, Robin

Missing meta descriptions on indexed pages, portfolio, tags, author and archive pages. I am using SEO all in one, any advice?
I am having a few problems that I can't seem to work out.....I am fairly new to this and can't seem to work out the following: Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂 1. I am missing alot of meta description tags. I have installed "All in One SEO" but there seems to be no options to add meta descriptions in portfolio posts. I have also written meta descriptions for 'tags' and whilst I can see them in WP they don't seem to be activated. 2. The blog has pages indexed by WP- called Part 2 (/page/2), Part 3 (/page/3) etc. How do I solve this issue of meta descriptions and indexed pages? 3. There is also a page for myself, the author, that has multiple indexes for all the blog posts I have written, and I can't edit these archives to add meta descriptions. This also applies to the month archives for the blog. 4. Also, SEOmoz tells me that I have too many links on my blog page (also indexed) and their consequent tags. This also applies to the author pages (myself ). How do I fix this? Thanks for your help 🙂 Regards Nadia

Canonical tag help
Hi, We have a product which is marketed by affiliates . Affiliates send referrals to our sale page by adding their affiliate IDs to our product page like http://www.mysite.com/products.php?ref= 12345. We want to avoid the content duplication impression to Google by using canonical tags but we are not clear about its use. Should we use it on http://www.mysite.com/products.php ( actual page) or we should create temporary pages for each referral id i.e http://www.mysite.com/products.php?ref= 12345 and then add canonical tags to all those pages linking to proper page i.e http://www.mysite.com/products.php ? Thanks, shaz
