SEO Tools for Content Audit
-
Hi i'm looking for a tool which can do a full content audit for a site for instance -
Find pages which:
• Lack text content.
• Finds pages with lengthy meta descriptions
• Finds missing H1 tags or multiple H1 tags .
• Duplicate meta descriptions.
• Find images with no alt text
Are there any tools besides the ones on SEMOZ which can enable me to do a full content audit on factors like these.
Or any SEO audit tools out there which you can recommend.
Cheers,
Mark

Agreed; I take SF over Xenu any day.

All of these are great options.
If I can add a great chrome extension is "Web Developer" by Chris Pendrick. It doesn't do everything you want, but it can gives you a few easy to use SEO tricks right in your browser.

I'm a huge fan of using things like screaming frog to get a lot of raw information, and then pushing them through something like link detective (or the links extension for excel) to get data on all the pages.
Screaming frog will give you some valuable info like
- title length
- meta description length
- h1-h6 info
- Meta Keywords info (basically to know if anything is there so you can remove them)
- Duplicate meta descs. titles etc
It's also free for less than 500 URIs
Hope this helps

I would suggest SEOmoz Crawl Report tool for this. It has got wealth of options to get all the details that you need regarding lack of content, duplicate pages, duplicate meta data .. give it a go.

Hi Mark,
Can't help you with the "lack text content" but for everything else I'd recommend:
Xenu - Free
A1 Website Analyser - Free 30 Day Trial
Screaming Frog - £99/year

As a bonus when doing a content audit for a site, I'd recommend CheckDog - it's not free but a spell checker for your entire site is invaluable.

International Domains for SEO
My company is international and we have websites for each country with Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLD). I am in the US and I am seeing that other countries such as Costa Rica and Germany are ranking above us in search results. I thought Google automatically geo-targeted users by default and therefore I should only get .com or US results. Any idea why other countries would rank above our site?

Subdomains + SEO
Hi everyone, So a little background - my company launched a new website (http://www.everyaction.com). The homepage is currently hosted on an amazon s3 bucket while the blog and landing pages are hosted within Hubspot. My question is - is that going to end up hurting our SEO in the long run? I've seen a much slower uptick in search engine traffic than I'm used to seeing when launching new sites and I'm wondering if that's because people are sharing the blog.everyaction.com url on social (which then wouldn't benefit just everyaction.com?) Anyways, a little help on what I should be considering when it comes to subdomains would be very helpful. Thanks, Devon

If a website trades internationally and simply translates its online content from English to French, German, etc how can we ensure no duplicate content penalisations and still maintain SEO performance in each territory?
Most of the international sites are as below: example.com example.de example.fr But some countries are on unique domains such example123.rsa

SEO for an independent fashion brand - the right tool for the job?
I have a client that is a small but growing fashion brand in the UK, they make sunglasses, eyewear and swim suits. They are priced as a high-end brand, so around £200 for a pair of sunglasses. They have asked me about 'sorting out their SEO', but I am struggling to think of viable keywords we could target that don't contain the name of their brand. The SERPS for anything that would be along the lines of 'buy sunglasses / buy swimsuits' etc are dominated by very big players - big department stores etc, so with their small budget I'm sure would be impossible to crack. My thoughts are that apart from sorting out their on-page SEO (crawlable, sitemap etc) and making sure they rank for their branded terms, that putting money into trying to rank for generic terms around buying swimwear/sunglasses would not be viable. A better route for traffic generation would be through a more content marketing / social media approach to get people sharing their content (e.g. fashion industry commentary) and leading them back to their brand from there. What do others think? Am I missing a trick on the SEO front? thanks

Content Landing Page
Hey Mozzers, I wanted to get some opinions on here. I'm going to be building out the content on my site a lot of the next couple of months, and have recently started thinking about creating a content landing page. For those not familiar with the concept it's the idea of building this page that basically just pulls together all the content you've written on a specific subject & serves as hopefully a link magnet & destination for people interested in the topic. So my question is this, I am just outlining all of the different posts & areas that I want to cover on specific topics & it is a lot. I'm talking ~20 posts on each subject. Do you think that would be too much content to try & get on one page? Should I break it down to a more finite 5-7 links to high quality articles per page, or create basically this monster guide that links to all these different articles I'll create. Looking forward to getting your opinion, Chris

Duplicate Content Through Sorting
I have a website that sells images. When you search you're given a page like this: http://www.andertoons.com/search-cartoons/santa/ I also give users the option to resort results by date, views and rating like this: http://www.andertoons.com/search-cartoons/santa/byrating/ I've seen in SEOmoz that Google might see these as duplicate content, but it's a feature I think is useful. How should I address this?
