Looking for Advice on SEO for Minimilistic Site
-
Hi everyone,
I found this site and it looks like a great place for us to start, we have just opened the doors to our new website fenwaymedia thats a dot co dot uk. Now Ihave tried to maintain the most minimilistic design throughout but I believe with this comes certain drawbacks - - - - S E O which is why i am here. My thought were that I would draw my clients from the Web Design, web Marketing & Blog page which I will starting in 3 hours be constantly updating. but Im not sure Im doing the right thing.
I am trying to target Edinburgh, Scotland although we would take work from anywhere, if anyone could spare us a moment, I would greatly appreciate any help, tips or comments that might help us attain some visibility.
Thanks in advance and thanks for looking.
Kind regards,
Craig

Yep these are now good.
Did you change the domain so non-www redirects to www?

I completely agree with activitysuper and I would strongly recommend taking care of your URLs. Also, your canonical tag is set to the dynamic looking URL and I don't know if that would be best for you. I think for best results you are going to need to obviously start some link building (I would keep it clean - big Penguin is watching!) - many of your images have the same alt text (your business name) - you might consider setting up some internal linking throughout the site to help spread the authority you should begin to gain - just standard on and off page stuff as well as the technical optimization that AS pointed out.

Ok,
First off every page has a dynamic url, you should really have rewritten SEO friendly urls.
But lets just say you stick with the dynamic urls, Google picks up all 6 sections on homepage, each page has the same content, now you got 6 pages of duplicate content.
Your domain doesn't redirect non www to www.
I also noticed you have the css style in the source rather then in a css file and connecting to it.
Home page link goes to /index.php when it should link to your root domain.
Bit of onsite work involved here - your design does look ok though.

Who else has inaccurate reporting? SEO Moz BUG
I have been in contact with support to little avail no timelines for the correction kind of leaves me out in the cold. I have loved SEOmoz in the past but this recent bug is costing me time and money. Can someone please tell me how they are working around all these issues in rank reporting and a zero accuracy rate on page report cards? bugs are holding up my SEO efforts. SEOmoz has been in touch but has provided no timelines. My programs are suffering. I found inaccuracy in each report metric and now have very little faith that this is going to be corrected in a timely fashion. I rely greatly on the wonderful tools SEOmoz provides and now I am flying blind. Who else has been hit by the bug? And, what has support done for you to help?

CPA bidding advice needed please?
Morning all! I need help with my adwords budget (not a loan :-)), when I use the Google recommended CPA bid it eats my money whatever budget, (I spent £135 yesterday which is far too much.. I can keep topping it up as long as the sales keep coming in, but when i take my eyes off Google uses my budget fast. My adwords account has been tweeked by a pro since Feb 12 with 722 conversions at 10.22%. I have now taken over and personalised the campaigns (I've read many books and have 5+ years adwords experience) Anyhow here's the question; Today Google suggests a MAX CPA of £9.75 and a target of £6.72. what prices do you suggest ? I've set daily ammount at £60.00 And which option should I choose in Ad rotation; Clicks,Conversions or rotate evenly? My best ad has had 134 conversions. I'm selling Tigi Bed Head & Redken hair care products. www.thehairroom.co.uk Thank you

In open site explorer, why are subdomain stats different to domain stats?
Hello there I have just compared some sites in Open Site Explorer. The page domain, subdomain and domain stats are all different. I get the difference between page and domain stats. But why are the subdomain stats different? There are no subdomains on the site so I expected them to be the same. What is my confused brain missing??? Many thanks Wendy

Link Assistant SEO Tool - Any Others?
I have the most boring copier service website, clients cool, concept is really boring; Well I am looking to generate this client some link back juice, cause this guy is struggling for traffic, and I am am struggling to generate a buzz about copier services?? Fortunately, it's only local, so that helps me with testing my localization campaigning. 🙂 Any opinions on this software? http://www.link-assistant.com Do you know of some better "Back Linking Software? I was considering buying it. But once I go to purchase it, I second guess myself; "It just looks shady, and the perpetual up-sale, turns me off.". I really just value the MOZer communities opinions! and I want to see what the community thinks of the above company, and if ya heard anything good, or bad. The Demo seems legit as hell!
