Magento 1.9 SEO. I have product pages with identical On Page SEO score in the 90's. Some pull up Google page 1 some won't pull up at all. I am searching for the exact title on that page.
-
I have a website built on Magento 1.9. There are approximately 290,000 part numbers on the site. I am sampling Google SERP results. About 20% of the keywords show up on page 1 position 5 thru 10. 80% don't show up at all. When I do a MOZ page score I get high 80's to 90's. A page score of 89 on one part # may show up on page one, An identical page score on a different part # can't be found on Google. I am searching for the exact part # in the page title. Any thoughts on what may be going on? This seems to me like a Magento SEO issue.

Yes in this Magento application, each part number, (example part number 12345-10) opens up to a page on the website. So, I can take two part numbers the 12345-10 and a second part number 67891-01. I can run both pages through MOZ page grader and they each score 89. MOZ page grader shows both are visible to search engines. But one part number will pull up on page 1 of Google. The second part number can't be found in any of the 2 or 3 pages that pull up.
I can look at page source for both pages and see that the H1 is the correct part number and the title includes the part number in it.
Something is odd here and it doesn't seem to be related to the diffculty of the keyword (part number) or in being outranked. There are a couple of competitors that will pull up in position 1 or 2 on page 1 and I am OK with some of mine pulling up on the bottom of page 1. My gut tells me there is a setting in Magento that we don't have correct. Any ideas on how to work this from the Magento side? We are running magento without any after market SEO tools.

Hello there,
I've never run a site with Magento before but by part numbers do you mean pages on your site?
The Moz on-page grader is only going to show you how well your page is optimized for a keyword.
The factors are mainly on-page and technical optimization, and it doesn't say anything about the keyword difficulty or the backlinks profile.
You should also learn about the keyword competitiveness, i.e., how many people are trying to rank for the keyword and how well their page and their backlink profile is optimized.
You check how many of your page is being indexed on Google by searching with this query "site:yourdomain.com" to see how many results are there, and you may also check in your Google Search Console to see if there are any crawling issues, lastly you can fetch as Google to see if the response code is normal.
Hope this answered your question.

Does location of my VPS and IP adress matter to Google's ranking?
We're busy with adding a German version of our webshop. Right now we're quit successful in The Netherlands with our webshop and SEO. I wonder if Google minds the location of the website (VPS) and IP address concerning SEO for our German webshop. If I Google on this subject I can not find a clear answer. Can somebody help me?

Our client's web property recently switched over to secure pages (https) however there non secure pages (http) are still being indexed in Google. Should we request in GWMT to have the non secure pages deindexed?
Our client recently switched over to https via new SSL. They have also implemented rel canonicals for most of their internal webpages (that point to the https). However many of their non secure webpages are still being indexed by Google. We have access to their GWMT for both the secure and non secure pages.

Should we just let Google figure out what to do with the non secure pages? We would like to setup 301 redirects from the old non secure pages to the new secure pages, but were not sure if this is going to happen. We thought about requesting in GWMT for Google to remove the non secure pages. However we felt this was pretty drastic. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.0 -
My warning report says I have too many on page links - 517! I can't find 50% of them but my q is about no follow
if we put 'no follow' on some of these links does that mean the search engines won't index the no follow pages even if those pages are linked to from elsewhere? no link juice will flow from the page with the (no follow) links on? Just trying to understand why my rankings have dropped so dramatically in the last 6 weeks or so since we redesigned the site, and it might be that now we have too many links on the homepage. This is the page http://www.suffolktouristguide.com/ All suggestions appreciated!

What's a good place for a copywriter to start researching the more technical aspects of SEO?
I've been working as a copywriter for about a year and a half now and I feel like the more advanced SEO topics (rel= tags, .htaccess files, etc) are a bit over my head. Is there a website where I can read up on all of these things? I have a basic understanding of them but I couldn't talk about them for very long, and I want to become more well rounded as a search marketer. Thanks!!

DCMI and Google's rich snippets
I haven't seen any consistent information regarding DCMI tags for organic SEO in a couple of years. Webmaster Tools obviously has a rich set of instructions for microdata. Has there been any updated testing on DCMI or information above the whisper/rumor stage on whether engines will be using Dublin? As a final point, would it be worth going back to static pages that haven't been touched in a couple of years and updating them with microdata? It seems a natural for retail sites and maybe some others, but what about content heavy pages?
