How can i make my sub-domain bring in more traffic?
-
we have a social networking site that has user-generated content and users have to log in before they can access the platform.
We are in the process of creating indexable pages that google bots can pick up. These pages will sit in front of the log in pages and will be open for guest access.
Can you advise on the best way of optimising these pages for higher ranking and traffic.
-
A good place to start is identifying the search volume you are looking at targeting with the Google Adwords tool.
From there you can identify the competition of the sites currently ranking and put together an optimisation strategy for your content.
The point is you need to identify what you want to rank for first, then it is the age-old; good quality engaging content and building backlinks from authority sources.

Can't see the woods for the trees
Ok, I'm going be really cheeky here, so apologies in advance! We have this site www.simplychaise.co.uk and its not ranking anywhere in the top 50 for the term 'Chaise Longue' Moz has picked up a few issue with duplicate titles and a couple of 404's which I will fix shortly, It dosen't have any backlinks but I'm stumped as to why it isn't ranking higher than what it is, I'm not expecting 1st position but outside of the top 50 is something else. The site looks ok to me, but I think it might be a case of I've been looking at it so long that I can no longer see the wood for the trees. Could any kind hearted Mozer point me in the right direction here please, what am i missing? I'd greatly appreciate it, many thanks in advance for being so cheeky and well, useless! Jon

Can Sitemap Be Used to Manage Canonical URLs?
We have a duplicate content challenge that likely has contributed to us loosing SERPs especially for generic keywords such as "audiobook," "audiobooks," "audio book," and "audio books." Our duplicate content is on two levels. 1. The first level is at our web store, www.audiobooksonline.com. Audiobooks are sometimes published in abridged, unabridged, on compact discs, on MP3 CD by the same publisher. In this case we use the publisher description of the story for each "flavor" = duplicate content. Can we use our sitemap to identify only one "flavor" so that a spider doesn't index the others? 2. The second level is that most online merchants of the same publisher's audio book use the same description of the story = lots of duplicate content on the Web. In that we have 11,000+ audio book titles offered at our Web store, I expect Google sees us as having lots of duplicated (on the Web) content and devalues our site. Some of our competitors who rank very high for our generic keywords use the same publisher's description. Any suggestions on how we could make our individual audio book title pages unique will be greatly appreciated.

Redirecting a Parked Domain
A client's friend has had a parked domain for over 11 years. He has done nothing with it but throw a couple of ads on it. It has some traffic, most likely from typos: the domain domain is somewhat similar to a leading search engine. But the parked domain has no content, no links, no DA. I can't see the benefit of the redirect. My client might get a little traffic -- but the parked domain has nothing to do with his niche. Am I missing something? Is there any risk involved in the redirect (beyond unqualified traffic that isn't valuable?)
