on page SEO is overdone
<title>**Asia** Travel, **Asia** Flights, **Asia** Hotels, **Asia** Airlines at **Asia**.comtitle> <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">keywords</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">**asia** maps, airlines to **asia**, flights to **asia**, hotels from **asia**, travel to **asia**, **asia**.com, hotels,airlines, airways</a>" /> One instance only of Asia in the title tag, lose the meta keywords completely they are useless and yours are spammy. also look at the sitewide linking. Way too many instances of "flights" in this menu. Put flights at the top of the menu and then just the locations below without "flights" in ever single link
<a class="attribute-value">Asia.com</a>">Bangladesh Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/China" >China Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Hong-Kong" >Hong Kong Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/India" >India Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Indonesia" >Indonesia Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Japan" >Japan Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Nepal" >Nepal Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Pakistan" >Pakistan Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Philippines" >Philippines Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Singapore" >Singapore Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/South-Korea" >South Korea Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Sri-Lanka" >Sri Lanka Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Taiwan" >Taiwan Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Thailand" >Thailand Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Vietnam" >Vietnam Flightsa> span> div> <div class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_box_col_1</a>"> <span class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_list</a>"> <b>Chinab> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Beijing" >Flights to Beijinga> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Guangzhou" >Flights to Guangzhoua> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Hong-Kong" >Flights to Hong Konga> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Taipei" >Flights to Taipeia> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Tianjin" >Flights to Tianjina> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Shanghai" >Flights to Shanghaia> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Shenyang" >Flights to Shenyanga> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Wuhan" >Flights to Wuhana> span> div> <div class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_box_col_1</a>" > <span class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_list</a>" > <b>Indiab> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Bangalore" >Flights to Bangalorea> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Calcutta" >Flights to Calcuttaa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Chennai" >Flights to Chennaia> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/New-Delhi" >Flights to New Delhia> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Goa" >Flights to Goaa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Hyderabad" >Flights to Hyderabada> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Mumbai" >Flights to Mumbaia> span> <span class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_list</a>" > <b>Japanb> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Osaka" >Flights to Osakaa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Tokyo" >Flights to Tokyoa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Yokohama" >Flights to Yokohamaa>

Hi Michael Do you think you could expand on your question at all? What are the subdomain problems you indicated? What do you want to rank for? How do you rank at present? If you could flesh your question out I am sure you will receive some good advice for making improvements. Marcus

Ctr question with home page and product pages
do you believe that the advantage of targeting a search term on the home page is now worse off than before? as I understand it ctr is a big factor now And as far as i can see if two pages are equal on page etc the better ctr will win out, the issue with the home page is the serp stars cannot be used hence the ctr on a product page will be higher? I feel if you where able to get a home page up quicker (1 year instead of two) you still lost out in the end due to the product page winning on ctr? do you think this is correct?

Mobile Brand Markup Question
Hi Moz Community, I was searching for "Gifts for men" in Google Search on my phone and saw a few results in the 3rd (Nordstrom), 4th (Etsy) and 5th(Grommet) place that had their brand name in the area under the title tag where the green url is usually listed on desktop. One example of the green text under the title tag is Nordstrom which lookes like this: Nordstrom > Shop > Gifts Whereas the first result from UncommonGoods looks like this in the green text: www.uncommongoods.com > by recipient I'm trying to figure out what markup Nordstrom, Etsy, ect used on their site to get their brand name to show up not as a url but as a brandname Anyone know the answer to this? Thanks!

A few sitemap questions
1. When I do a sitemap through a generator, it lists some of my URLs twice, with and without the last slash. Ex: <url><loc>http://www.howlatthemoon.com/locations/location-hollywood</loc><lastmod>2013-11-25T16:12:50+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>daily</changefreq><priority>0.9</priority></url> <url><loc>http://www.howlatthemoon.com/locations/location-hollywood/</loc><lastmod>2013-11-25T16:14:27+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>daily</changefreq><priority>0.69</priority></url> Should I remove one of these or leave it? 2. What is the importance of lastmod? I've read that if you have a lastmod listed, Google won't recrawl until a new time/date is up? 3. This goes along with lastmod, but is changefreq important? Can it hurt me at all?

Question about Google Algo Change on June 26
I have a client who's Google Organic visits dropped significantly on June 26th. I used a chart overlay called ChartIntelligence. It says that there was an SEOF update on 6/26/2013. Does anyone know what this update (or any other updates) would be? Also, where might I find additional info on this update. I did notice that Moz's algo change tracker listed a multi-week update on June 27, but I'm not sure where to find info on what types of things were impacted by this update. Any info would be helpful.

Algorithm Question
Hello, I'm trying to figure out why my site and a competitors site literally trade places in the SERPS every week? My site has a boatload of content with an active blog with a lot of links versus a competitor that has virtually no links, limited content, 404 errors on the site. The links I have are all natural links with the exception of directories like JoeAnt. The only thing their site has is Domain Age where as mines is 4 months old. Any insight?

Google new update question
I was just reading this, http://www.entrepreneur.com/blog/220662 We have our official site, which has 200+ service pages, which we wrote once and we keep doing SEO for them, so they rank high all the time. Now my question is, how does Google handle the site freshness ? Service static pages or if we are adding blog items, then also they consider them as fresh site, right ? So, we dont have to update those service pages, right ?

Can someone explain a few hopefully simple questions for me please
Hi everyone First off for local seraches I rank very well pretty much all on first page and high up too. I am also attempting to rank well for the search term 'independent mortgage advice' I currently rank third on page 2 for the above search term. I am happy with this progress as the site is only 3 months old. I am UK based, have a .co.uk domain and although my site server is located in Germany (1and1) I have changed the geographical location in webmaster tools. My competitive domain analysis gives me the follwing results: Domain Authority: 14 Domain MozRank: 2.44 Total Links: 110 Ext. Followed Links: 19 Linking root Domains: 13 Followed Linking Root Domains:9 Linking C-Blocks: 8 Compared to my competitors around me these figures are terrible so why am I doing relatively well and how can I increase some of these figures such as Domain Authority & Domain Mozrank? The page I'm referring to is http://www.keystonemortgages.co.uk I am a novice so please don't mind calling me a numpty if it appears obvious to you Jason PS is it frowned upon to post links with title keywords here?
