SEO Moz crawl has 3 missing page title errors when they are clearly there.
-
My SEO Moz crawl today has highlighted for errors where page titles are empty missing. For example: http://www.musicliveuk.com/live-acts/hire-wedding-entertainment/wedding-entertainment-kent
This page clearly has a title as do the other 3. Is it a bug in the system or am I missing something?

Hi Samuel,
Once in rare while there's a rare miscommunication between the SEOmoz crawler, rogerbot, and your webserver. This usually happens when roger crawls a bit too fast than your site can handle, and so your site serves up what are essentially empty pages.
Roger reads these pages as blank, and records no title tag, meta description or links on the page.
If the title tag is already there, then it's nothing to worry about. One way to address this in the future is to use a crawl-delay directive in your robots.txt file, which will slow roger down. To do this, place the following lines in your robots.txt file:
User-agent: rogerbot
Crawl-delay: 5This will make roger wait at least 5 seconds before crawling each page.
Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

I opened up your site. First, every single page should have only one h1. Your homepage has like 5-6 or more. As well as other inner-pages. Also, avoid intersecting html tags in h1, like or<a></a>
**<a>Put them in CSS
Entertainment Agent & Entertainment Agency
Hope it helps.</a>**

I have just added H1. I have lots other pages that don't have H1 tags though and it's not flagged them so I thought it was talking about the page title that appears in the webpage tab in your browser and not H1 tags.

I did not find h1 title either. h1 is one of the most important things on page that signals robots what is this page about.

On-page SEO
This is a question for the organic SEO experts, once you added the main keyword that you want to rank for in the homepage title, meta title plus meta description, perhaps once or twice in the text on the homepage. How often do you then write it in the content marketing, say blog posts, we want to rank higher on Google for "SEO agencies Cardiff" however if you mention this in the blog posts too much say once a week, this could lead to over optimisation issues?

Keyword Placement in Page Title - will changing it make a big difference?

That its jumped from 22nd to 10th in google for term "nightlife forum" Am wondering, because of the on site optimisation tool telling me I should put the keyword to the front to something like eg: Nightlife Forum | Talk Nightlife Clubbing Guide for the UK Will changing the Keyword and putting it to front of the Title make a big difference? Your thoughts please guys Cheers Luke

View all Page for Product Overview Pages
Hi everybody! We have an ecommerce site with product overview pages, where sometimes there are hundreds of products listed. Usually, we just display 30 and have a button where users can click to see 30 more - or all products listed at once. This is the overview page (as indexed in google): http://www.geschenkidee.ch/aussergewoehnliches.html
On-Page Optimization | | zeepartner
And this is the view-all page: http://www.geschenkidee.ch/aussergewoehnliches.html#all What should I do here? The product overview page will hardly generate more traffic by listing all products (because the overview page will rank for generic keywords, while the product keyword searches will be referred to the specific product pages themselves). I was originally thinking of using rel=canonical pointing to the view-all page. But this would just lead to longer load time. Should we just leave those overview pages or is there a best practice for how to deal with such pages? Thanks for your thoughts on this!0 -
How do I avoid duplicate content and page title errors when using a single CMS for a website
I am currently hosting a client site on a CMS with both a Canadian and USA version of the website. We have the .com as the primary domain and the .ca is re-directed from the registrar to the Canadian home page. The problem I am having is that my campaign produces errors for duplicate page content and duplicate page titles. Is there a way to setup the two versions on the CMS so that these errors do not get produced? My concern is getting penalized from search engines. Appreciate any help. Mark Palmer
