Suggestions on how to hire help with my SEO?
-
Hi,
I just signed up with SEOMOZ and found some major duplicate content issues with Wordpress. I have installed Yoast SEO plug in but honestly am a little lost on how Wordpress handles it all and need guidance.
I would love to hire someone to do some desktop share / Skype sessions to teach me the proper way to set this up but did not see if there was any place on SEOMOZ where employers and providers can connect.
I am interested in more than just this one issue, looking for a freelancer ongoing to work on our site for SEO.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

In terms of the Yoast SEO plugin, it's really not that complicated no matter what you're level.
There's a brief description of how to use it here: http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/
This post is very handy, too: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-install-and-setup-wordpress-seo-plugin-by-yoast/

The post is at

I semi understand the canonical, I am guessing that you create a post then specify the Url of the main post. I was not sure technically what it does to the other links/posts like the one above.
I only have 7 posts so far but came up with about 180 duplicate pages. When I first added to tags to the posts I was thinking the more the better. Obviously that was wrong. So now I am going back and really just wiping out the tags. I am not even sure tags are that helpful other than categorizing the content and maybe I should rely on categories themselves to do that. Open to suggestions on proper tagging.
THanks,

Force7,
You may be able to get free help from folks in the Q&A section. The community is awesome like that.
If you find that you need something a little more detailed, you might try the SEOmoz group on LinkedIn. SEOmoz used to run a marketplace where contracts were posted, but they migrated that aspect over to LinkedIn. Great benefit for someone like you is that you can view profiles of people who are offering their help. Knowledge is power, and LinkedIn will help make sure you find someone who will be of real benefit.

Can you please share landing page URL on which you are getting duplicate content error ? Do you have idea about canonical tag ?

Href lang issues - help needed!
Hi, I have an issue with Google indexing the US version of our website rather than the UK version on Google.co.uk. I have added hreflang tags to both sites (https://www.pacapod.com/ and https://us.pacapod.com/), have updated and submitted an XML sitemap for each website and checked that the country targeting in search console is set-up correctly but Google are still indexing the wrong website. I would be grateful for any assistance with this issue. Many thanks Eddie

SEO impact classifieds website
Hi, I'm part of an organization running a classifieds platform in Spain. (Mercadonline.es) We are hit by Google penalties since a few weeks, possibly caused by numerous errors we are experiencing. Most frequent errors are 404's and duplicate content (titles tags etc) since the nature of our website is dynamic. Many ads change daily, are added or removed, causing Googlebots (and others) to flag us and not being able to see our more unique content. Until what part of our platform should we be indexed? Since we have +34,000 pages indexed (mostly due to internal filter pages) I would need a systematic solution for us to display relevant and unique content, with enough usage of keywords that can bring us back up - we are actually ranked <50 on google for most of our main keywords. It is costing us precious time and money since we can only aquire our visitors (adwords etc) and not being to attract any organically. I can go in more detail with someone who can give me a bit more direction. Your answer is much appreciated! Ivor

Google Dropping Pages After SEO Clean Up
I have been using SEOmoz to clear errors from a site. There
Technical SEO | | Andy56
were over 10,000 errors to start with. Most of these were duplicate content, duplicate titles and too many links on a page. Most of the duplicate errors have now been
cleared. This has been done in two weeks (down to around 3000 errors now). But instead of improving my rankings, pages that were on the second page of Google have started to drop out of the listings altogether. The pages that are dropping out
are not related to the duplicate problems and get A grades when I run SEOmoz
page reports. Can you clean up too much too quickly or is there likely to be another reason for it?0 -
.lbi file - SEO friendly or not?
Up until yesterday afternoon i had never heard of a .lbi file. It turns out it is a library file used by Adobe Dreamweaver. From what i can tell it works like a client side included but i am unsure of the technology behind it. The issue:
Technical SEO | | kchandler
When running through a recent SEO audit for a new client i found these .lbi files being used all over there site for site wide callouts and even navigation. When viewing this content through firebug or in the browser you can see the executed HTML content but when viewing the source or the page in seo-browser.com the content is nowhere to be seen. So my thought is this is not SEO friendly and is the same as displaying content in any client-side script like JavaScript or JQuery. Any feedback or thoughts on this subject would be awesome, especially if anyone has used these previously. Unfortunately i cannot share the client site but i would be more than happy to answer any questions if more detail is needed. Thanks in advance - Kyle0 -
