Is my website is having enough content on it to rank?
-
I have less content on my website, is this okay or I need to add more content on my pages?
Website is - brandstenmedia.com.au
Any other suggestions for the website?

Yes I would, I would overlay those images with text, and mark them up using good html5 semantics and schema.org.
don't make it hard for the search engine to work out what you page is trying to do. describe your data well so that the search engine knows just when your trying to say.

Hi Landon,
You've not mentioned what specifically you want to rank for, but I think the first step is to figure out what makes sense from a business perspective
For example, where (geographically) does this business operate? You stand a much better chance of ranking for a geographically modified phrase than a generic phrase, plus any sales leads you receive will be ones you can service (as opposed to having to pass them on).
Once you've figured out what makes sense for you to try and rank for then you can make the necessary changes - see http://moz.com/learn/seo/on-page-factors
I hope this helps,
Hannah
PS the homepage slider doesn't work for me either and I'd echo the issue with load times.

As René mentioned - there is very limited content on the pages. Given the fact that the site is images - you should try to optimise the images you publish on your site. A good guide can be found here: http://moz.com/blog/image-seo-basics-whiteboard-friday
You might also want to check the configuration of your site - http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150427_01_FW1/ - while you get A scores for every element, your homepage takes 17seconds to load & loads about 865KB of data - mainly .js & images. Some of the elements on your page give a 404 - you might want to work on that.

=> mobile 56/100 - desktop 86/100The slider on your homepage doesn't seem to work properly (I tested in Chrome on Mac)
rgds,

You should add more text content in terms of getting the search engines to rank you better. But most important are your links. Have you taken a look at your link profile (e.g. use OSE for that)?
I can see that you are running WordPress, have you tried using an optimization plugin like Yoast SEO? It could help you out with On-Page optimization of your site. Using your data from GA is also worth looking into. How is your advertising going (I assume that you are running AdWords with the remarketing script located on your site)?

Should I optimize the login page? Will it affect the website SEO ranking?
I'm trying to resolve the site crawl issues that we have on our website. One of the links that has different issue types together is our login page. Currently we have two login pages that have the same content but different sub domains. **However I'm wondering if optimizing SEO on our login pages affects our website SEO ranking and if it's something better to do or not. ** To point out the details of the issues, the issue types that the logins pages have are "duplicate title", "duplicate content", "missing H1", "missing description", "thin content", "missing canonical tag" I'd appreciate your help, thank you!

I am really surprised to see this page is ranking like crazy even the content is very thin
https://www.hackerearth.com/blog/artificial-intelligence/artificial-intelligence-101-how-to-get-started/ We are ranking for 121KW for this page. And 22KW are ranking in the 1-3 position. I am not able to understand why will it rank like anything. Considering that it has just 4 inbound links. Will some help me to understand this mystery. When we try to write a good in-depth content then we are not ranking but for such content, we are doing fairly good.

Please could you help? My old website is written in php. I've created a new design of the website in Java.

Duplicate content for hotel websites - the usual nightmare? is there any solution other than producing unique content?
Hiya Mozzers I often work for hotels. A common scenario is the hotel / resort has worked with their Property Management System to distribute their booking availability around the web... to third party booking sites - with the inventory goes duplicate page descriptions sent to these "partner" websites. I was just checking duplication on a room description - 20 loads of duplicate descriptions for that page alone - there are 200 rooms - so I'm probably looking at 4,000 loads of duplicate content that need rewriting to prevent duplicate content penalties, which will cost a huge amount of money. Is there any other solution? Perhaps ask booking sites to block relevant pages from search engines?
