Break in H1 tag - big, small or no problem?
-
Hi, I've just taken on a new ski client who offers ski instructor courses. The landing page for the keyword [ski instructor courses] was created by the web agency but with no heading tags...
http://www.snowrehab.com/ski-instructor-courses
Subsequently they've put them in but I've noticed the H1 tag has a break in it where 'ski' is on a separate line to 'instructor courses'
Is this an issue that need to be addressed?
Also I can't look up the page in the Moz on-page grader - any ideas why?
Many thanks!
Richard

Thank you Keri for coming back to clarify the situation.
Richard, here's a useful link you may want that can help you fixing the error 406.
Hope it helps.
Good luck.

It looks like rogerbot is getting a 406 Not Acceptable response when he tries to crawl the URL. At this point, there's not much we could do on our end, it's more a case of getting things fixed by your developer or hosting provider.

Hi Keri, I'm getting 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible.'
Any help appreciated - thanks!

Can you tell me what you're seeing when you try to look it up in the on-page grader? Are you getting an error of any type?

Hi Richard,
There's no problem with the br tag on your headline. You can install Moz's plugin for Chrome. It's very handy for analysing how robots read your site. Using this tool, under Page Elements you'll see your headline.
Also, I saw you are using Meta Keywords which are useless. You can remove them.
Kraig, I think you are a little bit confused about meta robots. That tag is fine.
Cheers.

I've just done a little more looking into it, and it turns out that the page with the tag on it is the one that you don't want the crawler to index (which makes more sense)
Google do note that pages can still appear in search results due to a lag time between crawls.
I still think though that is is what could be stopping Moz from crawling the site however, though Roger's just doing what he's told

Kraig,
I'd be interested in seeing more about what you're saying regarding the robots meta line. It's specific to each particular page, and doesn't mean to not crawl other pages. Google does currently have a couple of hundred pages indexed from that site right now.

Hi Richard
I inspected the markup of your site code and found that in your there is the meta tag
I'd suggest removing this, as this will tell crawlers to only index the first page of your site. Which I doubt is what you want.
As for the multi-line keywords, I think you should be okay. Once Moz can crawl your site you can use the On Page Grading tool to see whether it picks up the keywords in the H1 tags.
Hope this helps, Kraig.

Thoughts on adding "near me" to title tag for local SEO?
I want to lean out my title tags and will most likely be doing an A/B test. They currently have the "Near Me" modifier in there, which I believe Google can distinguish local SEO without it. Thoughts?

Avoiding Duplicate Title Tags and Duplicate Content
Hi - I have a question on how to both avoid duplicate title tags and duplicate content AND still create a good user experience. I have a lot of SEO basics to do as the company has not done any SEO to this point. I work for a small cruise line. We have a page for each cruise. Each cruise is associated with a unique itinerary. However the ports of call are not necessarily unique to each itinerary. For each port on the itinerary there are also a set of excursions and if the port is the embark/disembark port, hotels that are associated. The availability of the excursions and hotels depends on the dates associated with the cruise. Today, we have two pages associated with each cruise for the excursions and hotels: mycruisecompany.com/cruise/name-of-cruise/port/excursion/?date=dateinport mycruisecompany.com/cruise/name-of-cruise/port/hotel/?date=dateinport When someone navigates to these pages, they can see a list of relevant content. From a user perspective the list I see is only associated with the relevant date (which is determined by a set of query parameters). Unfortunately, there are situations where the same content is on multiple pages. For instance the exact same set of hotels or excursions might be available for two different cruises or on multiple dates of the same cruise. This is causing a couple of different challenges. For instance, with regard to title tags, we have <title>Hotels in Rome</title> multiple times. I know that isn't good. If I tried to just have a hub page with hotels and a hub page with excursions available from each cruise and then a page for each hotel and excursion, each with a unique title tag, then the challenge is that I don't know how to not make the customer have to work through whether the hotel they are looking for is actually available on the dates in question. So while I can guarantee unique content/title tags, I end up asking the user to think too much. Thoughts?

H1 Tags on Volusion Product Pages
So I'm working with a client who has no heading tags on his site and I'm wondering if there is an ideal method to implementing these on the product pages specifically, as the wording I ideally want to specify is is the product title, which i can't really code with an H1. Has anyone run into this issue? If so, what was your solution? Also, how vital are these heading tags on the product pages, anyways? If the Volusion SEO expert could chime in, that would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone!

What are the benefits of the URL meta tag?
We have too many meta tags and want to get rid of all the outdated ones. However, we don't want to eliminate valuable meta tags by mistake. So, before we say goodbye to the URL meta tag, we want to make sure we understand the pros and cons, if any. By the way, we are not referring to canonical URL tags, just URL as in:

Title tag questions
General title tag questions how important is it not to change your title tag, I own a prom dress site and I'm always changing them between prom and homecoming' Is it bad to have title tags that are only different by one word across thousands of pages on your site. I have thousands of dresses so each title tag only varies by the style # I have always had title tags that are for example black prom dresses, well i recently discovered that just black dresses is googled 10 times the amount so im debating changing them to black dresses so that the word dresses is closer to the front of the title tag, am I over reacting or is that a good idea or would it be bad to put black dresses, black prom dresses, black homecoming dresses I also put the year in almost every title tag 2012, is that bad, I ranked great for 2012 stuff but could it hurt my homepage domain rankings on major broader keywords

Is my H1 and H2 site structure proper?
If I have an h1 tag on the page that describes the purpose of the page, is it a bad idea to make all of the sub-headings h2 tags? A designer mentioned that it was frowned upon to make all of the secondary headings into h2 tags, or to use CSS to selectively style the heading tags.
