Since you are running an e-commerce site look into deploying some micro-formats / rich snippets. So pop over to schema.org and start implementing some of them. They are perfect for what you do as you can tie your reviews and stock details into every item

Take off the Magento Favicon. Also put some content on the home page.
http://www.yourjigsawpuzzles.co.uk/ is a new domain so why should it rank so fast. Registered on: 16-Jan-2012
Start writing some kick ass content. Freakin' make it up and redo it. READY FIRE AIM! I think puzzles help little kids have fun and learn how to concentrate. Make a puzzle and frame it. Put it on the wall and take a picture. There are so many things you can do!

Look at my home page (it's magento too) and I rank for everything. But my landing pages combined bring in way more traffic than the home page.

Hi Rhys,
I don't think 18 occurrences of a keyword on a homepage is too much , if there is other supporting text. A couple things I noticed on your site is there is no contextual information on your homepage. I would try to add a content block that talks about your store, service and location. This would dilute the overall keyword "jigsaw puzzles" a tad, while providing some information to your customers.
The second thing is the store logo is the only thing in the H1 tag. You are missing a big opportunity here without having text in there. If at all possible I would remove the H1 tag from the storelogo and use it in the content I suggested you add.
This advice seems to also be pertinent to your category pages.
Ecommerce stores I believe get a little bit of lye-way when it comes to the amount of links & keywords on each page, simply by nature of the store. Look at stores like Amazon, or eBay they will have tons of occurrences of keywords on a page simply due to the amount of different products they sell which are similar. Amazon started paginating their results but still when you search for a broad keyword on their site you're going to get a page loaded with that keyword.
There are a few other things I will mention, but you maybe aware of them.
From a users perspective there some links I would want to use (like save 10% logo is not a link). Customer Service, Contact Us, Gift Cards all direct to the same page, Blog link is not working, and having payment logos which link to nothing is also a put off.
I'm not trying to criticize your site, but these are issues I noticed without spending much time on your site so I feel strongly customers may notice them as well, I hope by pointing them out here you can see about addressing them.
Hope it helps

Personally I would remove one of the two words "jigsaw puzzles" occurring in the websites title.
If you can limit that word to about 15 times of occurring, that would be optimal. I looked at your page source and indeed it would be hard to limit the number of times it gets repeated. Try to add other keywords in, like Puzzle Games!
Hope this helps!

SEO rank down 35%
So I recently switched from an Opencart website to a Magento 2 website and my rank has dropped by 35% two weeks later, this is bad news. My old Magento website was 5 years old and was in desperate need of an upgrade, hence the Magento 2 site. I realised today that the canonical URLs on my stores were set to the individual stores as opposed to one store, thus I expect resulting in duplicate content issues (even though Google Webmaster Tools didn't show it). I'm just wondering if anyone else can see something I may be missing? My sites are: thespacecollective.com (primary) thespacecollective.com/us/ (canonical to primary) Thank you!

Menus, Ecommerce & SEO
Hi Our Dev team have updated our website with a new menu structure, they have given us 2 options to choose from. 1st option I think is better for SEO - this will be showing top 8 categories and then subcategories once you hover over category 1. Not much change from our current structure, just a slightly different layout. (I have added an image example of what option1 will look like) 2nd option - is preferred by management - shows all 24 categories & no subcategories. My question is, will removing the current subcategories from the main menu make them lose rankings & make them harder to rank in future? I'm guessing everything will move down a level in the structure and lost page authority... Does anyone have any articles/case studies to prove this point? Any help is much appreciated 🙂 Becky DKzgD

SEO question
Hi there! I'm the SEO manager for 5 Star Loans. I have 2 city pages running. We are running our business in 2 locations: Berkeley, CA & San Jose, CA. For those offices we've created 2 google listings with separate gmail accounts. Berkeley (http://5starloans.com/berkeley/) ranks well in Berkeley in Gmaps and it shows on first page in organic results. However the second city page San Jose (http://5starloans.com/san-jose/) doesn't show in the Gmaps local pack results and also doesn't rank well in organic results. Both of them have authentic backlinks and reviews. It has been a year already and it's high time we knew the problem 🙂 any comment would be helpful. thanks a lot

Outbrain Select SEO Implications
A member of our marketing team wants to use Outbrain Select to curate content to augment the original content we have on our site. http://www.outbrain.com/select/how This content would be taken from other pages on the site and shown through as though it is on our site through javascipt. Obviously this page would be setup as a no-index. This seems to me like something Google would frown on. Does anyone know the SEO implications behind using a tool like this? I'm concerned google will see links to a blank page no-index page and find it suspect.

SEO Moz Keyword Ranking Tool
The SEO Moz keyword ranking tool is useful and fairly accurate but it would be more useful to know why the ranking changed. Can the tool provide any insight in this regard?

SEO friendly blog.
i've read somewhere that if you list too many links/articles on one page, google doesn't crawl all of them. In fact, Google will only crawl up to 100 links/articles or so. Is that true? If so, how do I go about creating a page or blog that will be SEO friendly and capable of being completely crawled by google?

Breadcrumb Trail for SEO?
Due to the fact that we aren't in the #1 position, (dropped from #5 to page 2 - You have to love Devs and IT), our heads have hired a SEO Audit/Consultant company to review everything we are doing. I would like to post some of the things they are telling us to do, in which I don't 100% agree with and would like some other professional feedback. Especially since their site isn't marketed very well. http://www.trupanionpetinsurance.com Disclaimer: (this site was a complete nightmare when I started a year and a half ago. Yes, there are many issues that still need to be addressed.) Breadcrumb Trail They have asked us to implement a Breadcrumb trail on every page, where the final page is the only H1 Tag. Are breadcrumb trials important for SEO? (I know they are helpful for Users, but SEO) Are they important for Search Engines to track back for structure. Any thoughts about them?
