How "Optimised" is my home page content
-
Good afternoon from 1 degrees C overcast frozen wetherby UK...
I've made a number of on page html markup changes to optimise the page for steel suppliers steel stockholders but I'd like to know if there are any other on page improvments I could make for this page http://www.barrettsteel.com/
Im particulary concerned that contnet in in li tags and not p, could this be an issue?
And finaaly on the home page a third party developer has slapped a header banner pointing to an external site know as woodberry tools, that cant be good can it?
Any insights welcome

I should have been more specific. While the social icon buttons should be present, you should also include the open graph protocol on the site.

Dan1el he was referencing adding social networking code to site.. Ie share on facebook, retweet, +1 google, +1 facebook..blah blah blah.
Personally given his industry, I'm not sure how many people are going to around +1'ing a Steel Supplier, but I'm a little hard headed when it comes to social networking.

Hi Nightwing,
Site looks good,
If you could slip another 1 or 2 instances of steel suppliers in there, and personally I'd also try for the long tail keyword _UK steel supplier_s. Though your company does look like a global company, in the US I would certainly type US steel suppliers before relying on a global supplier but that maybe irrelevant as I"m not in your industry, just a thought.
The banner you referenced takes me to a site with the Barrett steel logo so that makes sense if they are distributor, I would rather that it was opened in a new window / tab then moving the user off your site. It also appears to be the same template they you are using.
Overall I think it looks very good.

Sorry to jump in here! can you tell me a little more about the social code, how does it work, where can I get it?
Cheers
Daniel

First off, great looking site!
I wouldn't worry about the li tags vs the p tag - quality content will always trump any display issues.
The banner is of great concern since that is what I was tempted to click on first, thinking it would lead me to more information on your site. I noticed that you don't get a navigation option until the images for your content appears in the banner. If possible, you should really push for that same treatment for the starting image of the banner.
The only other suggestion would be to include some social code (open graph) so that you can get some link love from FB!
Hope this helps!

An informational product page AND a shop page (for same brand)
Hi all, This is my first foray into e-commerce SEO. I'm working with a new client who sells upscale eBikes online. Since his products are expensive, he wants to have informational pages about the brands he sells eg. www.example.com/brand. However these brands are also category pages for his online shop eg. www.example.com/shop/brand I'm worried about keyword cannibalization and adding an extra step/click to get to the shop (right now the navigational menu takes you to the information page and from there you have to click to get to the shop) I'm pretty sure it would make more sense to have ONE killer shopping page that includes all the brand information but I want to be 100% sure before I advise him to take this big step. Thoughts?

Will content inside an "accordion" module be ranked as non-hidden content? Is there an official guide by google and other search engines addressing this?

http://www.bridgelanguages.com/index.php?p=3233&source=3 Would a redirect from the 2nd page to the 1st one be a solution? I'm not even sure where that 2nd link is on the site? Any suggestions or has anyone experienced the same? Thanks! Kelly0 -

www.mydomain.com/
www.mydomain.com/index.html} Years ago I hired someone to write the code for a rewrite for non www to be 301 redirected to www version. I was surprised at finding out that I still have a problem. Here is the code on my htaccess page. <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mydomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]</ifmodule> Was this code not properly written ? One more question, we were hit hard by Panda and Penguin, would something like this be that much of a factor. Thanks in advance, Force70 -
Moz Crawl Reporting Duplicate content on "template" styled pages
We have a lot of detail pages on our site that reference specific scholarships. Each page has a different Title and Description. They also have unique information all regarding the same data points. The pages are displayed in a similar structure to the user so the data is easy to read. My problem is a lot of these pages are being reported as duplicate content when they certainly are not. Most of them are reported as duplicates when they have the same sponsor. They may have the same contact information listed. These two are being reported as duplicate of each other. They share some data but they are definitely different scholarships. http://www.collegexpress.com/scholarships/adelaide-mcclelland-garden-club-scholarship/9254/ http://www.collegexpress.com/scholarships/mary-wannamaker-witt-and-lee-hampton-witt-memorial-scholarship/10785/ Would it help to add a Canonical for each page to themselves? Any other suggestions would be great. Thanks
