The missing link?
-
Hello and Welcome Moz friends! Thanks for taking the time to look at my problem.
On my website I've optimized our content to match the keywords I have selected for the site. I constantly am Re-writing articles, reading SEOMoz on tips and tricks how to make link juice flow. Yet only one of my keywords ranks decently, the rest never show up. I have the hardest time getting traffic to my site, and sales after that. Maybe I am implementing something incorrectly or there is something I am not doing.
If you have any tips or anything to give me I would gladly accept it, any criticism is also appreciated.
Thank you Friends, hopefully you can help me.

Thank you very much friend!
Yes it is an Ecommerce site, and I did not actually have a hand in creating it. It was kind of put in my lap after it had been out for a few months and I was told to make it look pretty. Thank you for the tips I truly appreciate it.

I did a little bit of checking on your site and found numerous violations. The most numerious was html errors. I stoped at 15,000 of them. They are mainly unclosed or unopend html tags. SE's can not tell what is visiable content and what is not, it is hard for them to trust what they see.
most of your pages have over 1000 lines of code, this is a high noise rate to content, just random check of mine show 100 to 400 lines almost all is content. i would move scripts to external files.
You also have a lot of redirects like
"http://www.frontlinemobility.com/store/pg/15-Why-Frontline.aspx" has resulted in HTTP redirection to
"http://www.frontlinemobility.com/store/pg/15-Why-Frontline.html"."http://www.frontlinemobility.com/store/c/31-Wheelchairs.aspx" has resulted in HTTP redirection to
"http://www.frontlinemobility.com/Online-Wheelchair-Store.html".why not link directly to the final destination? Redirects leak link juice
You have many images without alt tags, a good chance to get some keywords in
Also non relevant link text like "more", you should use keywords in link text tio make the pages rank for that term
I assume you are using a off the shelf cms, ecommerce package, and these things may be hard to fix, but SE' like clean code free from violations

Back links with instant effect?!
I realise this is incredibly controversial! And I also realise I’ll get a ton of trolls pulling me to shreds but… I’m in need of running a short-term experiment, but to do the experiment I need to get a test site ranking high very quickly (not worried about if it gets penalised, it is only a short-term test).

Any idea why Google Search Console stopped showing "Internal Links" and "Links to your site"
Our default eCommerce property (https://www.pure-elegance.com) used to show several dozen External Links and several thousand Internal Links on Google Search Console. As of this Friday both those links are showing "No Data Available". I checked other related properties (https://pure-elegance.com, http:pure-elegance.com and http://www.pure-elegance.com) and all of them are showing the same. Our other statistics (like Search Analytics etc.) remain unchanged. Any idea what might have caused this and how to resolve this?

Base href + relative link href for canonical link
I have a site that in the head section we specify a base href being the domain with a trailing slash and a canonical link href being the relative link to the domain. <base <="" span="">href="http://www.domain.com/" /> href="link-to-page.html" rel="canonical" /> I know that Google recommends using an absolute path as a canonical link but is specifying a base href with a relative canonical link the same thing or is it still seen as duplicate content?

To Many Links On Page Problem
Hello My Moz report is showing I have an error for too many links on my sitemap and blog. The links on both pages are relevant and I'm not sure if this has to be sorted out, as I would have thought Google would expect sitemaps and blogs to have lots of links. If I were to reduce the number of links how much of a positive affect would it have on my site? If any of you feel it is best practice to reduce number of links on these particular pages, do you have any suggestions on how I can tackle this? http://www.dradept.com/blog.php http://www.dradept.com/sitemap.php Thank you Christina

What is value in a back-link from article with multiple links pointing to various other sites?
In a standard article with 400-500 words my site got a back-link. However, within the article there are 4 other links pointing to other external content as well (so total 5 links within articles all pointing to external sites, and 1 of the links is to my site). All links are to relevant external content that is. Question: wouldn't it be much more valuable for my site if only my site got a back-link from the article, as less link juice is now passed to my site, since there are 4 other links pointing to various sites from this same article? Or, is the case that given the other links are pointing to quality material it actually makes the link to my site look more credible and at the end of the day have more value. Conclusion: is it that on one hand less links in same article is better from a link juice perspective, however, from a credibility perspective it looks more convincing there are other links pointing to quality content?

How And/Or If To Prune Footer Links
Hi, I have a site with a site-wide footer that currently has 28 internal links.The footer terms are the terms the pages are focused on. This footer is on every page of the site (hundreds of pages). Some pages of my site have 10 or so additional links pointing to internal and external pages (besides the footer) and some pages (like the homepage) have about 50 links besides the footer. I'm going for a half dozen new terms with new pages that I would be adding to the site-wide footer. Do you think I should trim the existing footer before adding these new terms? I guess I would remove the terms that show no real hope of ever getting to page one... like pages stuck in the 40s. Or, pages I for whatever reason don't care much if they rank or not. Would trimming it to a smaller number do more to help the remaining linked pages/terms? What do you think? Thanks!
