Is it worth re-doing SEO for all existent products
-
We have a website and when we started, we had no clue about SEO, nor did we really understand the full extent of CRO amongst other things.
We have slowly learnt that there are many changes that need to happen to our site; however...do we need to re SEO all the content that is already on the website or can we purely start a fresh with the new products we feed through?
The website is:

i noticed the same thing, not only do you need some text content you need it above the fold.

Yes very new, only about 10% of the products have the content they require and this is something we are looking into at the moment. We wanted to know whether we needed to review the entire site and from feedback I think we definately do!
When we started the site our understanding on content, CRO & SEO was non-existent, as time progresses we have discovered how important it is and we are now going to begin reviewing the site...from page one onwards!
Thanks for the feedback about the visual side though!

It is a nice website and I like the logo etc but straight away I can see problems (to name one lack of content), is this a fairly new website?
I think looking at conversion rate optimisation is also a good idea, put down on paper the pages in your conversion funnel and start looking at each one picking elements which effect the users decision.

I always think it is good that your site has problems, because it means you can improve.
Good SEO is an investment, that pays off

As we are not from a marketing/SEO/CRO background, we are really struggling on where and why things go wrong. We are fine with META but when it comes down to duplicate page content, too many links etc, we are slightly out of our depth!
Think we may have to get someone on board to help us get things on the right course!
Looks like we are going to be here for a long time.......
:S

i would go thought the site.
i did a quick crawl os a small part of your site and found quite a few problems. i would go though each page and fix up every thing you can find.
It may take you a few hours for each page, but over time it will pay off. Evey bit of link juice you can save, every crawling prioblem has a value in dollars (pounds in your case) that keeps on giving you a return day after day, year after year.

Google says :
you have about 6,490 results - pages indexed
you have about 28,400 results - pages linking to you
Are you happy with that?
Are you happy with your rankings too?
Both Yes? Then no I wouldn't change in big!
Maybe, start/improve small:
find issues on the site - User and SEO based
example?

New Subdomain SEO questions
I have a main site - mysite.com. I just created a subdomain - leadform.mysite.com I plan to use the leadform.mysite.com as a 1 page lead form only. I will link to leadform.mysite.com from mysite.com and also from other websites I own (myothersite.com etc.) - filtering all traffic to this form to capture leads. (Note - the leadform.mysite.com has CNAME to other server that hosts the backend of the form) My questions are: How should I link from mysite.com to leadform.mysite.com? With dofollow or nofollow? (mysite.com has 1000's of pages and would link from every page with "get a quote' type button) 2) How should I link from myothersite.com to leadform.mysite.com? With dofollow or nofollow? Any SEO risk linking to leadform.mysite.com from an outside domain? (myothersite.com has 1000's of pages and would link from every page with "get a quote' type button) Does it make sense to build links from outside sites to leadform.mysite.com directly to try to get that lead capture page to rank on it's own? 4) Does it make sense to link back from leadform.mysite.com back to mysite.com for seo value? With dofollow or nofollow? Thanks in advance for any help.

Keyword Stuffing because of the product names
Hi Moz community, Since I have many products in most of my pages which have the targeted keyword in the product name I get the "Keyword Stuffing" error. Is it really considered as "Keyword Stuffing" by Google? In addition to the products, I have some texts containing the targeted keyword for the page and this makes the number of keywords used in a page even higher. Thank you for your answers.

Ecommerce - Product Titles
Hi I want to find out how ecommerce sites optimise their product names: 1. When they have thousands of products 2. When some of their products are identical I notice on some sites, like this for example, they have no key phrases in their product titles http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6249346.htm How can this help for SEO? At the moment we optimise the titles as best we can for key phrases relevant to the products and differentiating attributes. Where we get stuck is, if their are 2 identical products - how can the content team quickly add a title which is useful for customers and search engines? Some products have no differences for us, but longer tail phrases are where we could get some good returns if the research is put in - it's just very labour intensive. Thank you

Multiple Ecommerce sites, same products
We are a large catalog company with thousands of products across 2 different domains. Google clearly knows that the sites are connected. Both domains are fairly well known brands - thousands of branded searches for each site per month. Roughly half of our products overlap - they appear on both sites. We have a known duplicate content issue - both sites having exactly the same product descriptions, and we are working on it. We've seen that when a product has different content on the 2 sites, frequently, both pages get to page 2 of the SERPs, but that's as far as it goes, despite aggressive white hat link building tactics. 1. Is it possible to get the same product pages on page 1 of the SERPs for both sites? (I think I know the answer...) 2. Should we be canonicalizing (is that a word?) products across the sites? This would get tricky - both sites have roughly the same domain authority, but in different niches. Certain products and keywords naturally rank better on 1 site or the other depending on the niche.

How to lay off your SEO compnay?
I have decided to replace my seo company. The pint is this company has been partly my developer too. So he has set up a demo server of my website. 1- Should I be worried about duplicate material when I end my cooperation with this company(The demo server) 2- Should I be worried that if they do not like it, they go and delete all the submitted materials and destroy my pages rankings? Thanks all

Real Estate Local SEO
My site hovers on page 2 of google for the key search phrase. I have a blog that gets updated often, I have genuine links coming in, I promote on all social media channels, I do email campaigns, I have a site map, I have my local address on what I believe are the most important sites like Yelp, Manta, Google Local etc. All this and my site is still on page 2 while other sites with less of everything are on page 1. What is missing?

Does a Slider widget harm my SEO?
Does using a slider widget (such as the one Skype uses) harm my SEO? Meaning, is the text still totally readable to search engines or will it be in JAVAscript. Are there any SEO-friendly sliders you would recommend?

SEO Strategy for URL Change
I'm working with a company who will likely have to change their URL because of a trademark dispute. They will be able to maintain the new URL for some period but will soon need to drop the existing URL all together. Aside from the usual keyword considerations when choosing a URL, are there any SEO strategies I should consider as we execute this change?
