Hi Atul,
Just wanted to let you know that the questions in Pro are indexed and visible in Google right away. Right now, this post ranks #9 for that domain name on Google, so if your client searches their domain name they might find this post.

Atul,
in long term you can find duplicate content if you don't prevent it. (just because there might be some path problem).
For ex.
you have product A that can be reached through Cat. A or Cat. B, so you will have two paths:
example.com/catA/prodA
example.com/catB/prodA
Which will be the same product reached from two pages -> two different URls with same content -> duplicate content
Regarding Frames:
Currently you have 1 URL because of the frames.
If you would go for 1 page for each product, then you could optimize better the content for the specific keywords.

Thanks a lot for such useful suggestions.
" It is a lot healthier to have a site that can be crawled more easily by the search engines."
Do you mean that search spiders won't crawl the site easily becaise of spiders ?
Also, where do you find duplicate content on the site.

Hi Atul,
First of all I would advice to get rid of frames. It is a lot healthier to have a site that can be crawled more easily by the search engines.
2nd: you miss a lot of on-page optimization elements.
3rd: if the website is going to grow in products over time, you should think about information architecture. Go check in advance if you can get duplicate content issues because of multiple paths that can reach 1 product, and try to eliminate it. (p.s. advice - check for a faceted navigation at the products, maybe it will help you out)
4th: don't forget that content is king. Check for the keywords which you are targeting, create a keyword mapping, then on the most important pages/keywords write awesome content! And I mean the best you can deliver. This way you will give a boost from content.
5th: custom 404 pages, sitemaps...
Basically you still have a lot to do on the website.
Good luck with it!
I hope it helped,
Istvan

Tags - Good or bad for SEO
We are getting Moz errors for duplicate content because tag pages share the same blog posts. Is there any way to fix this? Are these errors bad for SEO, or can I simply disregard these and ignore them? We are also getting Moz errors for missing descriptions on tag pages. I am unsure how to fix these errors, as we do not actually have pages for these on our WordPress site where we are able to put in a description. I have heard that having tags can be good for SEO? (We don't mind having several links that show up when searching for us on google...) As far as the SEO goes, I am not sure what to do. Does anyone know the best strategy?

Lost SEO contract, new SEO wants us to do the following - can you explain why?
1. Make prokem.co.uk the master domain rather than prokem-corrosion-protection.com 2. Ensure each http URL is 301 redirected to its https counterpart via htaccess rather than in plesk 3. 301 redirect each www.prokem-corrosion-protection.com URL to its co.uk counterpart via htaccess. I can provide a list of pages to redirect as there are a number of duplicate pages that will need removing. It probably makes sense to implement these other changes at the same time: Remove all of the canonical tags currently on the site. Leverage browser caching by following Google’s page speed recommendations - https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/LeverageBrowserCaching Losslessly compress all of the website’s images. Combine and minify the website’s JavaScript

On-site optimization: Do we need local terms inside subpages?
We're optimizing a franchise's website for local SEO, where each franchise location has its own page on the main corporate site. We've identified a lot of keywords which are relevant for each location. But I'm wondering if we need to include the location as part of the keyword we're optimizing for. For example, picture "best yoga studio" as a keyword that is relevant, and the franchise has locations in San Francisco and San Mateo. Do we need to optimize for "best yoga studio san francisco" on the San Francisco subpage and "best yoga studio san mateo" on the San Mateo subpage? Or do we optimize for "best yoga studio" and is Google smart enough to return the San Francisco page for San Francisco searchers and San Mateo for San Mateo searchers, without our additional on-page optimization? I should mention that the franchise sub-page is being submitted via Moz Local and will have all the Google business listing, consistent citations, etc. Thanks in advance, --eric

Phone number for SEO
We have had an interesting question from a client. They have asked if removing their phone number from their website would have an affect on their rankings. Our immediate answer was 'No' but it may affect the Brand, Usability and Customer experience by restricting the methods of contact. This then made us think that perhaps then it could have an effect in the long term. This situation is also complicated by the fact that they do not have a Google Local Plus account for operational, sensitivity reasons (they don't want to openly publicise their address) We believe that there shouldn't be any negative affect but thought we would open a discussion. Thanks in advance for any comments/ideas.

Google Site Search & SEO benefits
Hi all - I've had a comb through the forums here but can't seem to find any updates on whether there any tangible benefits for using Google Site Search. We're currently exploring using Lucene, Oracle Endeca, & Google Site Search - but from what I've read so far there are no quantifiable benefits for choose Google over any others. Everything I've read is rumor-mill...anybody have experience or references? Thanks in advance!

Where should breadcrumbs point
Hi, On the single product page I such breadcrumbs structure: Home > Women's Shoes > Sandals > Nike > The Name of Shoe Where should the "Nike" part point? To the main "Nike" brand page? Or to the "Women's Nike Sandals" page? At first glance the second variant is more logical, any reason why Zappos links to the main brand page, e.g.: http://www.zappos.com/hudson-amber-raw-edge-hem-short-in-indie-indie ? I'd be very grateful if someone experienced with this stuff will explain. Thank you!

Is having the word catalog in an ecommerce site url detrimental to seo.
IS: www.example.com/catalog/category%/product% better than www.example.com/category%/product% category and product are dynamic values that change with the diff. categ. and products displayed while catalog is constant.
