Hi Mozzers,
I've been working on redesigning and revamping this site, http://www.canvaspaintings.com.
Their domain and keyword are a match but not ranking #1.
Some initial things I feel that needs to be changed are the links on the side and top bar, viewing the on page report, it does have a lot of links on every page. Trying to figure out how to remove them without having the top nav look empty.
Previous category descriptions were written by possibly an article spinner or keyword stuffed writer.
Need to start building more links, although PR5, it doesn't rank too well.
Let me know your opinions and thoughts, I would love to hear them out.
TMI!

Yep, I've been brought on the help out a bit. The internal links are excessive but hard to manage since it is an ecommerce site. I have to draw out something for the linking of categories.
Traffic is roughly 200-300 visits but pageviews are about 5-6 per visit.
Keywords are all general but mainly the domain matching keyword. Rankings have fluctuated some moved up and some moved down. As mentioned our current ranking for our own domain is 3rd.

Thanks for the input! Where do you think we should put some H2, H3 tags? We've been using the H1 as an alt= on the logo so its within the code.

Hi William,
It looks like you have A LOT of out bound links (internal) from the home page. That can dilute the PR vaule of that page since you are spreading out your link juice to a ton of interal pages.
What kind of weekly or monthly traffic are you getting right now? Has it increased or decreased over the last 6 months?
What Keyword(s) are you targeting and where do you currently rank for those? Have the rankings gone up or down?

Hi William,
I think the linking on the page could do with some improvement.
The first thing I would do is remove the 'www.canvaspaintings.com' link from the header & footer as there is no need for them. And, like you said, maybe a bit of improvement to the navigation links.
As well as this, I would look at using h1,h2,h3, etc tags a bit more effectively as this can make a big difference.
Hope these quick tips helps slightly.
Matt.

Less Tags better for SEO?
I am currently reviewing my strategy when it comes to categories and tags on my site. Having been no-indexed for some time, and having many tags with just one entry I am thinking that this is not optimal for SEO purposes. This is what I am planning: Categories - Change these to Index, but only after adding a hundred words or so by way of introduction (see this example - https://www.besthostnews.com/news/hosting/a-small-orange-news/). With the categories I am thinking of highlighting key articles as well to improve link juice distribution to older articles that are important. Tags - About half my tags have only 1 entry, with a few more just having 2 entries. I am thinking of deleting all tags with just one entry, and trying to merge those with just two or 3 entries where it makes sense to do so. I will keep these as no-index, but I think this will mean more optimal distribution of link juice within the site. I would appreciate your thoughts \ suggestions on the best practices here.

Ecommerce Product Reviews - Show All, Most Recent, Sampling?
Just curious what you guys are doing in the way of displaying product reviews on ecommerce sites. I couldn't find much on best practices here so I'm turning to the Moz community. We're moving our main site to Magento and plan to launch it in a few months. Some of our products have 1,000+ reviews and we're wondering what the best way to show them is. I'm thinking just put them all on there (provided it doesn't slow down the page) to increase unique content per page, more keywords, etc. We've also thought of showing just the 50-100 most recent reviews or filtering the reviews and showing a sampling we choose. Thoughts?

SEOmoz and Wordpress SEO plugin
I made a lot of changes with Wordpress SEO by Yoast before I signed up with SEOmoz. But SEOmoz doesn't seem to see those changes. I am still being told I have multiple meta descriptions. I don't know why but SEOmoz is seeing the default meta description and not the one I wrote using the Yoast plugin. How can I get SEOmoz to see those changes? Edit: Google has not updated all the changes I made with Wordpress SEO.

Should I include a "|" for better page title SEO results?
I have seen many sites that include the "|" in page titles and was wondering if there is some SEO value in the practice. Example: Product Name | Company Name Instead of: Product Name by Company Name I have not seen any value in it myself other than a good way to avoid stop words. I wanted to make sure. Currently I have the "by" included in the page titles.
