Any SEO suggestions for my site?
-
Site in question: http://bit.ly/Lcspfp
Does anyone have any suggestions for any on-site SEO that would benefit my website?
Any recommendations, big or small are appreciated.

Another great resource to add to my list.
Already implemented some of the suggestions.

Didn't think about the Webmaster URL Parameters tool. I've gone ahead and sorted them out.
Looks like Google takes a while to update it though.
Checked out the rel-canonical for Magento and found out that Magento now supports this without the need of Yoasts plugin. Sorted that as well, thanks!

Whenever I see a Magento implementation I immediately refer people to Yoast's write-up on the subject. He's about the best you can find from an expertise perspective on SEO and Magento. And to get even more goodness, the Magento Forums are a place to spend some quality time and Magento specific SEO discussions.

Hi,
Your website is visually appealing, it has a good structure and it's easy to navigate.
Having said that, I would change a few things:
-
Product descriptions are not unique, you can find the same text in many other websites. You can expand on the manufacturers description or create your own (unique) product description.
-
It seems that you are not taking advantage of social media. I would incorporate Facebook, Google+ and other types of social media sharing buttons in each product page as well as in your homepage.
-
Your about us page is empty, you should correct that. I would also add some text to your homepage; talking about your company, the products you offer or why your customers should choose you.
-
I don't think you need to link that many times to your homepage, you have at least 4 links to the homepage from the homepage itself. "Shop Categories" doesn't really need to link to the homepage.
-
The keywords meta tag may not hurt, but Google doesn't give it any value. I would take it out.
-
Not really a problem, but you have tons of js files loading in your header, you could combine and optimize all in 1 file.
-
You sitemap lists many pages with priority of 1, and a "daily" change frequency. You might want to correct that.
I just took a short look at your website, and those are just a few things you can do to improve your site. You could also run promotions and post them on daily deals type of websites, run giveaways, etc. in order to attract traffic and links.

Looks like a Magento site. I notice in the Serps that you have a lot of duplicate content showing up because of the parameters on your URL's. Everything after a ? in a URL like this one:
http://theboardgamers.co.uk/fantasy-board-games.html**?dir=desc&order=age**
Add your site to Google Webmaster Tools and under URL parameters help them see to avoid things like ?dir and any other parameters. Usually they are pretty good at doing this automatically. I would also recommend adding the Magento extension called Yoast Rel Canonical. For a good explaination check this out:

This is just a quick glance item but I hope it helps.

Can Image Quality In Online Store Effect Main Site SEO?
My client is building a new shopping cart that will be mobile friendly BUT will have terrible image quality - tiny images, with text on them. How will these tiny images impact the SEO on the main site? Should they put the store on the mainsite.com or on a subdomain (store.mainsite.com)? Does google see subdomains as part of the main site? I would think that having thousands of shopping product pages could be beneficial to the main site SEO, as long as the images don't negate the content. Thoughts?

2 sites or one sites: 2 locations
Hello, I have a dog training client who is offering services in 2 separate locations. We're looking to be first in the non-local search results and also rank well in google places. Would it be better to go for 2 separate sites or one site and try to rank for 2 different locations with one site? There's both local and standard search results when we type in our keywords. Thanks!

Local SEO (Rankings) + UK-wide SEO (national rankings) - achieving both
Hi All, For clients wishing to sell online / generate leads nationally, yet still want to have a local online presence to attract town / county-wide customers, I've often placed Town / County locations within both the Title Tag (or just County if space is limited) and Meta Description, plus within the Hx headings, Alt-text and within the footer of every page. My question is, does adding the location of the client within these fields really infringe their attempts to rank nationally, as some nationally ranked pages have no mention of location while others have their location (Town, County or Both) shown within them? Any help, insight or feedback greatly appreciated 🙂 Happy New Year Tony
