Review of on page SEO - Please help
-
Hi
I am new to SEOmoz but can see a lot of great information going back and forth. I am looking for a little help with the SEO on our site and looking for suggestions on what to do to improve it. We have some pages where we aggregate content from our database such as this:
http://www.touristlink.com/india/nagpur/cat/temples.html
It would seem that "Temples in Nagpur" is not that competitive of a term but we dont show up until page 4. Any on page suggestions on what we could do to improve? Or any mistakes we are making.
All the content on the site is fairly new as in 6 months even though the site has been established and online for a number of years. We have not done any specific linking building for the term "Temples in Nagpur"
Any suggestions on the overall structure of the site would also be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi Brad,
Thanks for spending the time on the review and giving some specific advice. We will definitely try a pinterest page and also rewriting the meta descriptions. Obviously the descriptions are auto-generated but I am sure we can them read a little better so it does not sound like the encyclopaedia.

Hi David,
Just a few little pointers:
- Add a Pinterest 'Pin It' button to your site. You've got some interesting images on there, let users be able to pin them easily directly from your site.
- The tourirst/travel niche seems ideal for Pinterest, so as well as point 1 above, create a Pinterest page and start sharing images of your favourite travel spots, people travelling etc
- Create a Google Plus page and start posting
- Your page titles are very basic - for that page it's just "Temples in Nagur". Try adding some secondary terms.
- Likewise your meta descriptions are pretty boring - they don't really inspire me to visit the page: "TouristLink features 7 temples in Nagpur. The most popular temples in Nagpur are Koradi Temple, Shri Vyankatesh Temple and Ramtek Temple. Also of intertest are Ganesh Tekdi, Dhapewada Vithoba Temple and Adasa Ganpati Temple." - I'd rewrite these.
- There's no external links to this page - http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.touristlink.com%2Findia%2Fnagpur%2Fcat%2Ftemples.html - develop some great content and get some links!
Thanks,
Brad

The great idea is to use the SEOmoz on-page Analysis tool and you will have the patter idea of how page is working in terms of on-page optimization.
But in a single go I noticed few thing that you should consider changing like internal linking, you add 4 to 5 internal links in a 5 lines of content.. Try to reduce down to 1 at max.
Content is not interesting, try to add quality content that should be loved by users and search engine.

Do uncrawled but indexed pages affect seo?
It's a well known fact that too much thin content can hurt your SEO, but what about when you disallow google to crawl some places and it indexes some of them anyways (No title, no description, just the link) I am building a shopify store and it's imposible to change the robots.txt using shopify, and they disallow for example, the cart. Disallow: /cart But all my pages are linking there, so google has the uncrawled cart in it's index, along with many other uncrawled urls, can this hurt my SEO or trying to remove that from their index is just a waste of time? -I can't change anything from the robots.txt -I could try to nofollow those internal links What do you think?

Exact match .org Ecommerce: Reason why internal page is ranking over home page
Hello, We have a new store where an internal category page (our biggest category) is moving up ahead of the home page. What could be the reason for this? It's an exact match .org. Over-optimization? Something else? It happened both when I didn't optimize the home page title tag and when I did for the main keyword, i.e. mainkeyword | mainkeyword.org, or just mainkeyword.org Home Page. Both didn't help with this. We have very few backlinks. Thanks

After adding a ssl certificate to my site I encountered problems with duplicate pages and page titles
Hey everyone! After adding a ssl certificate to my site it seems that every page on my site has duplicated it's self. I think that is because it has combined the www.domainname.com and domainname.com. I would really hate to add a rel canonical to every page to solve this issue. I am sure there is another way but I am not sure how to do it. Has anyone else ran into this problem and if so how did you solve it? Thanks and any and all ideas are very appreciated.

Pagination on a product page with reviews spread out on multiple pages
Our current product pages markup only have the canonical URL on the first page (each page loads more user reviews). Since we don't want to increase load times, we don't currently have a canonical view all product page. Do we need to mark up each subsequent page with its own canonical URL? My understanding was that canonical and rel next prev tags are independent of each other. So that if we mark up the middle pages with a paginated URL, e.g: Product page #1http://www.example.co.uk/Product.aspx?p=2692"/>http://www.example.co.uk/Product.aspx?p=2692&pageid=2" />**Product page #2 **http://www.example.co.uk/Product.aspx?p=2692&pageid=2"/>http://www.example.co.uk/Product.aspx?p=2692" />http://www.example.co.uk/Product.aspx?p=2692&pageid=3" />Would mean that each canonical page would suggest to google another piece of unique content, which this obviously isn't. Is the PREV NEXT able to "override" the canonical and explain to Googlebot that its part of a series? Wouldn't the canonical then be redundant?Thanks

And can anyone tell me how frequently Google crawls for new editors (if that's possible?)

Could Temporarily Linking New Directory Pages to my Homepage Help SEO?
Within my website we maintain a nationwide directory of auto repair shops. When we add or significantly update / modify a particular listing, would it help improve the individual search engine rankings, Google PageRank, and / or Page Authority of the new auto shop page if we linked these pages to an area on the home page for "Our Newest Featured Shops" or "Latest Member Additions" or something of the nature? Each new shop profile would then be linked directly from the homepage for a period of time. I assume that it might be crawled and added to the indexes quicker, but would there be other benefits? If so, would those benefits only be temporary if eventually the new shop no longer linked to the homepage? Would keeping all featured shops in rotational display on the homepage make any difference? Any input is appreciated. Thanks. Kelly Vaught
