Does the homepage of GetSatisfaction have very good on-page SEO? please give some critique
-
Hi Mozzerz,
If you have done successful on-page SEO optimization in the past, this may be easy for you to analyze quickly. (especially if you have some tools to help you compare things like keywords vs code weight etc)
Does the homepage of www.GetSatisfaction.com constitute a well done on-page SEO?
Could you please critique the homepage's SEO value and say why it is very good or why it is OK, or why it is bad.

Ryan nails all of the basic issues, so I will just add something: When I went to the site, having never heard of GetSatisfaction.com, for whatever reason my eyes went to kiddiecare and Pampers logos first. I immediately thought it was some type of aggregator of children's items for moms. Then, I was drawn to Start A Community today. Soooo, what Ryan says is correct regarding "no clear message."
Given your client list and your DA and PA, you seem to have something to sell, but I don't think many people would know what that is from visiting the site. Ignoring the slider, the three buttons below are: Get Satisfaction for Facebook, The Age of the Customer, and Sometimes Size Does Matter. With everything on the page, you may be trying to give too many messages. I would clean it up to one or two coherent ideas and then use menu tabs and internal links to bring in the rest.
Hope this helps,

Does the homepage of www.GetSatisfaction.com constitute a well done on-page SEO?
This type of question is difficult to answer without knowing the client's requirements. What I can share is there are element of good SEO along with numerous opportunities for improvement.
A sample of opportunities to improve:
-
Use the canonical tag. The following URL offers the same home page with a 200 header code which leads to duplicate content. This duplication should be eliminated and a canonical tag provided. http://getsatisfaction.com/index.html
-
Reduce external links. The home page offers 66 internal links and 56 external links. The ratio of external links is too high. One issue is the site uses many subdomains which I would recommend merging in to the main site.
-
There is no H1 tag
-
The alt tags don't really help
-
There is no clear message. At no point on the home page does the company share "Get Satisfaction provides Online Community Software which enables brand owners to engage in targeted conversations with their customers...." Instead there are vague descriptions such as "Give a voice to brand champions", "63k companies trust Get Satisfaction", etc.
A few things they do well:
-
Clear Call-To-Action with a "Free Trial", "Contact Us" and "Tour" button prominently displayed
-
clean URLs for main site
-
social engagement offered
In summary, there are several things I would like to change, but with a PA of 93 and DA of 92, the site is clearly performing well.

SEO For Replacement Site
I have a client with a website that has gotten a bit outdated. We've already built his new website and optimized it, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to replace the site while doing the least amount of damage to his current Google rankings. He's ranking #1 for some very competitive keywords that are responsible for the bulk of his revenue, so we want to jeopardize that. We've already built a new site and written all new content, although the homepage page title, h1 header and meta descriptions will all remain what they currently are. I'm also trying to keep the keyword density as close to the current site as possible. I am aware of transferring all existing site URLS using 301 redirects. Can anyone provide any tips that I should use when replacing the site? Should I expect a slight rankings drop or am I worrying about nothing?

Home Page Keywords not Ranking and Assigned to Inside Pages
Hi, thank you for taking the time to read this. We have a few websites with the same problem. I will use http://www.prepared-meals.com as an example: The home page was ranking on page one for keyword "Prepared Meals". The site is about 6 months old. We use the Moz page optimizer on all pages of our websites to score an A rating. Recently we found the home page is no longer showing up in search results and the keyword "prepared meals" now points to an inside page that is not relevant: http://www.prepared-meals.com/Senior-Meals/Moms-Meals-Reviews.html this page shows up for Prepared Meals around page 15 in Google results. We have read keywords in the URL might be the issue, even though the page optimizer in MOZ says to do that. We are wondering if this is the issue or there is some other problem we are not aware of. Again, thank you for you for your time. -Craig

Why don't all my pages have On Page Optimization Reports
Apologies if this question has been asked a million times, but I can't find it. I have 35 pages, yet only 5 of them have generated On Page Optimization Reports. I know I can create them manually, but wondered if I've done something incorrectly? Iain.

My website is saying I have duplicate page content and page title. How do I fix it?
Hi, I created a website on webstarts.com. After I launched it then ran a scan through SEO it says I have duplicate page content and page title. The 2 pages it is reading are technically the same page. www.mobilemowermedicsinc.com and www.mobilemowermedicsinc.com/index . I am unsure how to get rid of on of these as it keeps saying this is an error in the SEO scan. Could someone please advise me of what to do from here. Thanks!
