• The Photograph Below Will Show You Exactly How to
• However I would NOT no index categories (like the last photo unless special circumstances made you)

dScfBBh.png r6u2hIi.png 79GJ1nw.png

It’s the same domain?

What was the changed about the site structure other than forcing a forward slash?

I would ask your dev to do a search and replace on the URLs putting them back to non “/“ then 301 t force a non forward slash you got a pick one or the other.

But if I was making a new site from scratch I would force use a forward slash.

Hope this helps,

Tom

Hi

As a whole images are good and unless you are doing something unhelpful like using duplicate images stolen images etc.

Then keeping Images in Google's index will help especially if using alt text and correctly named will boost your rankings.

it sounds like you have figured out that your  crawl budget is being exhausted and you're not seeing Google index your site properly?

The URL below a larger photo of the one below showing the type of data I hope you have before making this decision Can you tell me how you cut to this conclusion the images should be removed?

This URL: http://i.imgur.com/BE3AOdS.jpg

Can you tell me more about the method in which you determined Google is not indexing your entire site?

I can only tell you what to do if I know more about what is wrong.

strongly recommend you view this slide deck if you would like to know more about your site I can run it on Deep crawl for you.

Hi Davit, I found the problem fix your servers redirect chains

Google recommends to not have more than 5 hops in a redirect chain. We found 6 hops. This could mean slower or delayed crawling as well as potential SEO problems caused by this.

Look https://i.imgur.com/w40qS3b.jpg

https://imgur.com/w40qS3b.jpg

• Your .html page

• Fix your nginx config file.

Then this hits a 302 (will not pass Link equity)https://dcacar.com/dulles-limo-service.html/

| 302 | 302 redirect to:https://dcacar.com/dulles-limo-service |

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5730092/how-to-remove-html-from-url

Might be faster to use https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/224509547-Recommended-Page-Rules-to-Consider

<code>RewriteCond%{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-f
RewriteCond%{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-d</code>

checks that if the specified file or directory respectively doesn't exist, then the rewrite rule proceeds:

`RewriteRule^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [L,R=301]`

[https://www.aleydasolis.com/htaccess-redirects-generator/page-with-to-without-extension/](https://www.aleydasolis.com/htaccess-redirects-generator/page-with-to-without-extension/)

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*).(html)$ /$1 [R=301,L]</ifmodule>

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]</ifmodule>

Remove HTML Extension

There are a few different ways to go about removing the .html extension. I've found the following to work just fine:

<code>server {
  rewrite ^(/.*)\.html(\?.*)?$ $1$2 permanent;
}</code> 

Then we have to make sure Nginx knows what files to look for, and for that we use the try_files directive. We'll look for a file with the current $uri and an .html extension, and if no file exists, we check for a directory with that name and serve the index. Otherwise, we render a 404 error.

<code>server {
  rewrite ^(/.*)\.html(\?.*)?$ $1$2 permanent;

  index index.html;
  try_files $uri.html $uri/ $uri =404;
}</code> 

Remove Trailing Slashes

After that first step, we have a URL without a .html extension. However, if the file of interest was an index.html file, it could still be accessed via the name of the parent directory with a trailing slash.

For me, for example, I was getting a URL at http://cobwwweb.com/page/2/, but I didn't want the trailing slash.

We have to remove the trailing slash after we have removed the .html extension.

The gotcha here is that we have to alter the try_files directive to look for an index.html file first.

<code>server {
  rewrite ^(/.*)\.html(\?.*)?$ $1$2 permanent;
  rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1 permanent;

  index index.html;
  try_files $uri/index.html $uri.html $uri/ $uri =404;
}</code> 

Pulling It Together

To pull it all together, I'll share a slightly-altered version of my config for this site.

<code>server {
  listen   80;
  server_name cobwwweb.com *.cobwwweb.com;

  rewrite ^(/.*)\.html(\?.*)?$ $1$2 permanent;
  rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1 permanent;

  root /path/to/project/root;
  index index.html;
  try_files $uri/index.html $uri.html $uri/ $uri =404;

  error_page 404 /404.html;
  error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;</code>

Hey, regular site audit we'll find out more these problems. do you want one?

Hope this helps,

Let me know if not,

Tom

Your transactional tag needs to fire on {{event}} equals transactionComplete. This way you’ll be 100 % certain that the data is in dataLayer by the time the tag fires, because the trigger event is pushed at the same times as the transactional data!

dataLayer.push({

'ecommerce': {
'currencyCode': 'EUR', // Local currency, type string
'impressions': [
{
'name': 'Triblend Android T-Shirt', // Name, type string
'id': '12345', // ID, type string
'price': '15.25', // Price, type string
'brand': 'Google', // Brand, type string
'category': 'Apparel', // Category, type string
'variant': 'Gray', // Variant, type string
'list': 'Search Results', // List, type string
'position': 1 // Position, type number
...

https://www.savio.no/analytics/easier-enhanced-ecommerce-product-promo-tracking

dataLayer.push({
'ecommerce' : {
'purchase' : {
'actionField' : , // WRONG! This key requires a value
...
});
dataLayer.push({
'ecommerce' : {
'purchase' : {
'actionField' : '', // BETTER!
...
});

For example, if you’re using a Custom HTML Tag to build your eCommerce dataLayer, add an ‘event’ push in there, which you’ll then use as the firing rule for your transactional tags:

case 'cart': // Track Add to Cart clicks
dataLayer.push({'event':'addToCart',
'ecommerce':{
'add':{'actionField':{'list':pid.list},
'products': [{
'name':pid.name,
....code................
'dimension1':pid.dimension1, // Discount in percent
'metric1':pid.discount // Discount amount
}]}}});
..........more code......................

I think the most important thing you said was that you simplify things for a better user experience.

we are in a form now and I don't believe it is dead

When you think of a form or a blog you can draw a lot of similarities.

For instance a blog is primarily about one topic and allows for people to discuss that topic where they form may allow somebody to create a topic and have others discuss it but most of the discussion is still conducted by people not creating the topics.

I would utilize blogging and the large social media networks that dominate today's SERPS you can get a lot of eyeballs on one post.

If you utilize them correctly and build up a strong authoritative presence where your trusted people will naturally go back to your website to seek answers and services.

I hope this helps,

Thomas

1st off never use 2 domains for 1 website the only exception is a customized short URL domain and if your  wanting to make use of it you better include a system like awe.sm if you are not going to create a short URL for your companys Main website never try to use two domains to benefit one website reason being it's twice as hard to rank and completely ridiculous to try And make an authority of two domains. when you're representing one website.

I would guess that you could try some hosting companies and see what you think. You might find a good use for those domains by doing that or other experiments.

Are they part the domains part of your keyword structure? If they are exact match domains or are we talking about different TDL's like .com. net. org  if they are the same domain primarily and have a different ending I would use them by setting them up to forward to my blog/website And if visitors use the other domains they will always find your site in addition to no one will be able to hijack your domain and build on your brand.

If you're talking about random domains I would set up servers and do some testing. Unless you care a lot about any of these domains I would set up hosting with different sites and figure out company what the best host is for your main website.

I own a lot of domains myself and purchase them for name protection in addition I have purchased some because they are good to test with. If they are the same name as your company do not think their worthless to point them to your existing website.

One inexpensive Way of doing this so you know if your with a register like register.com or Go Daddy you will be billed I believe $75 a year per domain I would suggest using DNS made easy or cloudflare for the DNS I would code DNS made easy has that way you would have no issues with cloud flare and you would be able to have extremely reliable and anycast DNS for up to 10 domains for $25 a year.

Saving you quite a bit of money in forwarding costs and giving you a lot more in terms of speed and uptime. I would recommend a company like DYN they're my favorite however they would not be the best choice in less you don't mind spending a little bit.

I hope I've been of help to.

Sincerely,

Thomas

Stephanie,

I am currently writing a blog on this so I cannot give you every bit of information that I normally would. But I can share this with you visitors the facts about these hosting companies.

if you are managing only WordPress sites and nothing else. Or just the majority of WordPress sites like 80 to 90%. I would strongly suggest going with a manage WordPress host. The reason I'm saying this is they take care of everything backups security and your site will never be slow with any of these companies. I personally host my site on WP engine but I can also tell you that I have accounts with absolutely every single one of the companies I am about to list. Not of them are anything short of excellent

WP engine, is extremely fast and extremely customer oriented.

Many of the largest problems the WordPress site owners face are that typical shared servers, or even VPSs and dedicated on generic hosting platforms, are not optimized for WordPress’ unique performance and security requirements. WPEngine.com , ZippyKid.com , Page.ly WebSynthesis.com & Presslabs.com (presslabs is moving into the US market quickly they are excellent for Europe right now along with WPengine, Page.ly & Zippykid who already offer European hosting as well.) are all managed WordPress hosting companies listed where developed by an expert technical team that also had the experience of being in the trenches like you and me, running high-traffic sites on WordPress. This is why their unique and finely tuned configurations work so well for WordPress. It is also why they have advanced and evolving security checks in constant motion, plus a guarantee to clean up your site in the event of an invasion. And the support is top notch. From migrations to troubleshooting to plugin recommendations, these guys have seen it all through their real-world WordPress experience, which makes your life that much easier. Too often, hosting is associated with problems that make our lives harder. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a host that gives you benefits instead of headaches? That’s why I would recommend each and ever one of the hosts listed so go check out their plans and tell us what we can do to get you sign up for truly worry free hosting.

** WPengine.com **

I have posted with WP engine for 2 years they are fantastic and very fast to respond. Along with being a lightning fast host I recommend them to anyone. You get 4 free months to try them out via http://www.seomoz.org/pro-perks

**Zippykid.com **

ZippyKid is an outstanding company with phone support like WP engine based on a private cloud and with one of the best backup systems in the industry I don't believe that you can go wrong choosing them.

Page.ly

Maybe the most cost efficient depending on multiple factors. they offer 30% off for life to any

SEOmoz pro member you can get that discount here http://www.seomoz.org/pro-perks

if you continue to add sites they will continue to take 30% off each additional website

WebSynthesis.com

is a fantastic host however if you have a lot of Websites is is a great deal more money to host more than 3 websites in comparison to the others.

Presslabs.com

is another outstanding WordPress host however they are just moving into the United States now. Their prices start at $199 per month for one site.

I have accounts with every single one of them, and they're all excellent I know that that does not make it easier on you. To pick but if you have a lot of sites and want to resell them and have the billing handled by the company Page.ly may be your right choice.

for all non-WordPress websites personally I use firehost.com I find them to be fantastic. I would strongly recommend datapipe.com, bluebox.net, Pair.com, singlehop.com

I agree with Webby www.servint.net is a great company that does not offer shared hosting only VPS.

I don't recommend shared hosting unless you are using a managed WordPress host which in that case it is far different than using a company like blue host.

if you do not want at 100% WordPress web host I would recommend bluebox.net they, are, in the same office building as SEOmoz, but the real advantage is there built off of bare metal have a content delivery network built-in and really do know what they're doing when it comes to Hosting.

I would then choose pair.com their proven uptime is unbelievable and rivals that, of posts like data pipe which start at $1000 a, month. However, Pair starts at $10 a month and goes up.

again I can't tell you how strongly I feel towards using a managed WordPress host for hosting WordPress it's simply night and day. However I can tell you with complete confidence that every host I have mentioned does a fantastic job.

I'm sorry I could not tell you everything I wanted to tell you all the little bits and pieces about every host but I am writing a blog on it and did not want to not be able to include information in my article that I have worked so hard on because I gave it to somebody in Q&A. However I would strongly recommend looking at the data I know there are a lot of choices. But if you do a lot of WordPress managed WordPress is always the right choice.

might own website has a hosting part where you can read about hosting

http://www.blueprintmarketing.com/hosting/

I hope I have been of help to you.

Sincerely,

Thomas Von Zickell

I would read this blog post

http://moz.com/blog/should-i-change-my-urls-for-seo

then read this afterwards

http://moz.com/learn/seo/url

in my opinion they are way too long. you are being somewhat  spammy by repeating words over and over. For instance wedding is said very many times sows the word dress and bridal.

I would look into rewriting your URLs. Read the should I change my URLs for SEO link at the top.

If the URLs are older and ranking extremely well I would leave them alone but only if there ranking where you want them to be.

I want to remind you to remember to 301 redirect your old URL into your new URL when you make the change if you decide to

Sincerely,

Thomas

I apologize for the brief reply I have rewritten this three times and somehow closed my page. Anyway, the important part is this is your issue you are not implementing canonical tags

see this image full-size you have no canonical's

• https://i.imgur.com/9wANDuK.png
• https://i.imgur.com/aflhpsU.jpg
• https://i.imgur.com/jC30gwx.jpg

To specify which URL that you want people to see in search results. You might prefer people reach your home page via https://www.schoolofmotion.com rather than. https://www.schoolofmotion.com/?ref_id=moz-test

Cite: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en

You are missing a canonical on your homepage and other pages as well this will lead to duplicate content when you post things like

https://www.schoolofmotion.com/?ref_id=moz-test

in order to prevent this query string from becoming a duplicate, you need a self-referencing canonical or a canonical reference from the query string to the correct URL https://www.schoolofmotion.com/?ref_id=moz-test

I've given you 5 URLs to reference and become more familiar with the subject

1. https://moz.com/learn/seo/canonicalization
2. https://moz.com/blog/rel-canonical
3. https://yoast.com/rel-canonical/
4. https://yoast.com/duplicate-content/#url-parameter
5. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en

**Reverse proxies allow you to set your headers this can be a very efficient way of adding a lot of canonical's if you're using  a CMS like Drupal, Magento or WordPress I recommend **

If you are still having problems could you send me your domain either in the form here or privately?

I am psyched that the redirect worked that is really good.

These other issues I can troubleshoot for you very quickly using some tools I have in addition to the excellent tools Moz has.

Download a free copy of screaming frog just a have it is honestly worth it as it is free and awesome.

Can I be of more assistance,

When I set majesticseo.com to fresh index I get 34 back links and it states you have not created a new link in five years

http://www.majesticseo.com/reports/site-explorer/summary/inecharge.com?oq=inecharge.com&IndexDataSource=F

Using Who.is is a gamble but it has a change however the dates do not change at all. Same registered date same expiration date

http://who.is/domain-history/inecharge.com

I honestly think you got a domain that was not registered new for you I think it was a used domain or sometimes called a premium domain

I wish I could be of more help,

Thomas

Hi Jerry,

If you want video to rank on your site you need a video sitemap

No it would not be considered duplicate content (same video)

(Do NOT" Make sure build some links to your video URL on YouTube as well.")

Why you would only be making links for youtube.com not your domain.

You need to have links point to the video on your website or your webpage

I would keep you youtube video on youtube & use wistia to have the same video on your site with a sitemap at no cost.

Why Wistia? It is free for the frist three videos read in link

http://wistia.com/blog/learning-center-video-seo/#more-126507512

If you want youtube to rank on your site please read the 1st link

Hope this helps,

You want to redirect from another blog and have it rank on your new blog? keeping both blogs up at the same time? Unfortunately, that will not work. You'll have duplicate content and Google will penalize you because you will be linking to yourself.

do you want to take existing content on the web being used as a blog on somebody else's website and 301 redirect it from the current blog to a secular site?

Well if I'm hearing you correctly.  I do think you're saying you own all this content or these clients want you to do this?

If you have content on 3 different sites that you have access to. That you no longer need. I would buy a WordPress template that has a blog and it already. Build the entire website that you are planning on building out of Word press then you will have to follow migration rules in order to get the content on their correctly. You could do 301 redirects and no database swaps. However you will have to of course take down the content that Already exists. you want to go into Google Webmaster tools and let them know you're making this change. As long as it's relevant content. I do not see the harm and it. If it is not relevant, or it is not yours don't do that of course.

I hope I have been of help,

Thomas

PS if you are already using a website that has a blog. WordPress preferably in my opinion but I guess you can use blogger. I would go about redirecting only relevant content if it's not relevant or if it's not yours to redirect don't touch it.

Ok,  You are using child and parent pages? That is what is causing the /safe/safe/ you are redirecting to a forward slash "/" but they're not duplicates because their 301 redirects they're not just forwarding there actually Telling Google this is no longer the URL is the new one.

I would have to see what you're using to create redirects it most likely is a regex or plug-in setting.

1. Are you using a particular WordPress hosting company?
2. Do you have a specific plug-in that you're using to create redirects?
3. Do you create redirects by using either PHP, Apache, Nginx or Varnish?
4. How familiar are you with your database?
5. Did you do a search and replace when you moved or migrated the site?

"The site wasn't rebuilt completely, they changed themes (appearance) only, the page management structure (see page manager description above) - the content and general navigational structure remains the same.  It just looks different, which should make no difference to Google."

Changing the theme can modify a lot of code. Go into Google Webmaster tools or search console

Here https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en

Then go to crawl errors and look for 404's obviously there are going to be some 404's when modifying themes because even if all your URLs stay the same way all your URIs will not. Either way, all your URLs will not stay the same way, and you change the theme.

After which I would strongly recommend using two toolsets right now you can use https://deepcrawl.com for free it will show you everything wrong with your site. Via https://app.deepcrawl.com

  Another tool I would use that is extremely helpful is

https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/ there is a free and paid version for right now try the free and I think you'll be happy with the results. Obviously,  99 UK a year is not much to pay.

http://www.siteliner.com/  is designed to show you duplicate content on page and redirects it is excellent at sniffing out duplicate content I would use all three tools.

"Why would Moz Page Optimization see these two pages differently? "

Because there are multiple words in the URL that make them different. Also, there may be some settings that are slightly different in your on the page I have not looked.

Hi Chris,

welcome to Moz.

So you change your plug-ins and return to your plug-in dashboard and you could see the 404 redirect plug-in as well as ultimate tiny MCE?

You reactivated them believing that your site was possibly hacked and that is how the plug-ins got there? Or that they were deactivated that way?

What matters is did you put the plug-ins in yourself should they be there?

To check your websites security if it has been hacked you can simply put the URL into this site and it will tell you at no cost if you have been hacked.

http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/

if you find out you are hacked then use the Sucuri USD80 a year protection and cleanup offering. It is well worth it they will clean up your site as many times as hacked.

If you want to add more security to your site I would recommend their cloud proxy firewall http://cloudproxy.sucuri.net/signup

is it possible that your 404 redirect plug-in was somehow disabled due to another user or a hosting provider? Who is your hosting provider?

If you have placed this on your site and they should be there make sure the both activated. After you do the site check and make sure there is no malware on your site.

Keep the records that Moz has provided for you as far as 404's

if you are using a premium WordPress hosting company you can call them as well and they will do the redirects for you.

if you are not hacked reactivate sites current 404 redirect plug-in

if you are using Nginx ask your hosting provider to make the changes but most of them prefer that you go ahead and make the redirects and send them to him.

Or if you can make the redirects for self simply using this fantastic tool

https://yoast.com/wp-content/permalink-helper.php

in case you want more information about it you can find it at this link

https://yoast.com/change-wordpress-permalink-structure/

take the broken links and redirect them to a page that would be relevant to the 404 page after that check the site using.

https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test

if you want to double check your work and your site is less than 500 pages download the free copy of

Use screaming frog SEO spider

you can also check online for free up to 1000 pages using

if you are having trouble with your sites security and completing 301 redirects I strongly recommend using a managed WordPress hosting provider a company like get flywheel Web synthesis  offers free redirects for their customers. WP engine and Pagely are excellent hosting companies and you can save a lot of money using Moz perks WP engine has their own 301 redirect system built-in Presseble is also a fantastic value.

http://moz.com/perks

that works with Yoast the reason I bring him up is if you just want to get a better 301 redirect plug-in he does have a premium 301 redirect plug-in that is fantastic

https://yoast.com/wordpress-seo-premium-1-1/

https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo-premium/

if you are not looking to spend money on a plug-in or hosting check out this free plug-in I think it is better than the 404 redirect plug-in you are referencing.

http://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/

Below is a list of 404 redirect plug-ins I would say Yoast is going to be the best then by redirection both plug-ins will allow you to make changes using Nginx or Apache if you are for some reason not able to make redirects because you are running nginx and were making redirects for Apache you can simply use the

http://winginx.com/en/htaccess

http://f.cl.ly/items/1L1f0E0N2I2A1J19051q/Image%202014-04-26%20at%2010.23.39%20PM.png

http://wpmatter.com/top-5-wordpress-301-redirection-plugins/

If you use a high quality hosting company you can ask them to make the redirects if you use a non-managed hosting company you are responsible for making the redirects.

Managed WordPress hosting companies that I have mentioned all give you three malware protection and they will hack your site if it is hacked.

If you want high-speed sent to save money digital ocean VPS is with Yoast WordPress premium SEO used for redirecting along with Sucuri cloud-proxy WAF make a inexpensive extremely high quality server. However at USD15 a month you could also go to get flywheel and not have to worry about what I just talked about.

It should all be under one Email I would use Google apps to set it up there is not cost for 30 days.

After you can keep Google apps for $5 a box.

Or use whatever you're using you never have to switch Email during the adding of Google+ biz page.

Google apps just help this happen easier

Hope this helps,

before I could tell you the best way to get your ranking backup I would have to look at your site.

I Would bet you that because you have bad back links that you try to remove you might've missed a few.

"There are 2 other paid links from two PR4 sites that look editorial. There are other links on the sites to other websites that are paid. All links for these 2 sites look editorial."

Google it is a $40 billion a year company that has the resources and ability to figure out if it's a paid link or looks like a paid link. They will find out from other sites using similar services paid links are one of the worst things you can have in my opinion.

Do a title tag like this is spamming

running shoes | walking shoes | cross-training shoes

using something like Shoes - Walking - Running - Cross-training

would be a better title tag

"Google changes the way the title tag is displayed sometimes in the search engines."

This is normal for Google will change your title tag to suit the queried keywords. It is supposed to help you.

"We may have many 404 errors (due to some mistakes we made with the URLs in our cart) - if Google hasn't deindexed them all then we could have dozens of 404s on important category pages. But nothing is showing up in GWT."

Are you only using Google Webmaster tools to try to figure out if you have for 404's?

when you say blogs I'm assuming your meaning posts?

when you delete blog posts and other parts of the website you're essentially deleting interlinking, back links that you may not know about, your changing your website structure.

If you have not corrected all possible 404's or at least most this will hurt you quite a bit.

For instance when people redesign their site and do not 301 redirect properly even sometimes when they do 301 redirect properly they go down drastically in the SERPS

this is because Google does not trust change immediately.

if you scroll down you'll see my answer in this post and its relevancy to changing parts of the website and Actually trying to keep your site rank.

http://moz.com/community/q/how-to-keep-old-url-juice-during-site-switch

" We have a lot of subcategory pages that rel=cononical to main categories in the menu."

That might not be the wisest idea.

I would strongly recommend a site audit.

if you give me your URL I will run it through some tools for you and give you my opinion.

Sincerely,

Thomas

I think the idea is to manage them in Moz Analytics for more accurate things like tags they'll be a lot more options soon.

• Citing: https://moz.com/help/guides/keyword-explorer

"Currently, we only support a single column upload (keywords). We will be updating this to support uploading the same file you can export from the keyword list pages which will include the keyword, volume, difficulty, opportunity, custom score and potential. We’ll let everyone know when that update is released!"

• But you can separate them by uploading them to Moz analytics

You can export from the keyword tool which you can save a list of keywords under a tag or name. So if I have list-1 and list-2 I can pick relevancy and use filters to slim them down to exactly what I want but I do not believe you can add another tag in addition to the name of the list. You have to do that inside of Moz Analytics

Here is an excellent walk-through on how to do exactly what you just asked.

"Add & Manage Your Keywords in Moz Analytics!"

https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-pro-overview/keyword-rankings/add-and-manage-keywords

Here is a great link to a larger photo than the one below showing you how you can place the tag and first below and add the keywords in bulk. Once you hit upload, you will have your tags attached to any of the keywords that you've placed in the box labeled keywords.

http://i.imgur.com/wl9Pdg7.jpg

I don't think me describing it would do any better than that page can do but please let me know if it is something that you would like more help with or if you have any other issues.

Cite: https://moz.com/help/guides/keyword-explorer FAQ

"How do I add my keywords to my Moz Analytics campaigns?

In the future, we’ll have an automatic button that lets you directly add keywords to a Moz Analytics campaign. For now, the easiest way is to export a list to CSV and import or copy/paste to the “add keywords” page in Moz Analytics."

Hi Bruce,

I agree with Dana

&

I would use the C name as you will force people to your site I like the way it looks as well I do a vid.blueprintmarketing.com

as a cname for Wistia

the SEO Embed makes a sitemap so google can see your video & rank you for it.

http://wistia.com/doc/video-seo#embed_video_using_the_seo_embed_type

Hope this helps,

Thomas

If you are resubmitting you must have all links in the file

I would use http://www.removeem.com/

there made by http://www.virante.org/ & they are Moz Recommended so you can't  go wrong &

It's not expensive

Hope I was of help,

Thomas

Hi

Moosa is right I don't know if you want to make open site Explorer a better tool or a few who are looking for alternate tools?

I'll give you the usual suspects just in case Ahrefs, MajesticSEO, monitor backlinks ( quite inexpensive and kind of cool)

I use all of the above but Moz has something very special about it meaning it has the closest thing to what Google Webmaster tools has and that counts a lot.

so from what little you've written I'm going to guess you're looking for more backlink tools and I'm going to list some because that's what I think you want.

Starts at $19

• https://monitorbacklinks.com/
• http://www.majesticseo.com
• http://ahrefs.com
• http://semrush.com
• https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/
• http://backlinko.com/
• https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en

Here is a comparison but I think there is a lot of value in Moz that is not easily picked up on here.

If you're looking for something inexpensive and to complement your already fantastic OSE on Moz tryout monitor backlinks it gives you Ahrefs my second favorite to Moz

http://www.analyticsseo.com/blog/link-data-research-majestic-seo-moz-linkscape-ahrefs-part-2/

please rephrase the question if this is not what you are asking if it is I really hope it is a been of help.

All the best,

Tom

if you were a Moz content user and paid for it obviously you get 50% off of BuzzSumo for six months I believe.

I wish they would keep it around me honest I like it I was going to recommend scribecontent.com but they are now only offering it to hosting subscribers.

I would use

I want to say that both Robert and Miriam have given outstanding answers. I really don't have much to add but one small thing I think you should be using https://getlisted.org/

I completely agree with

Robert the value of title tags, removal of essentially add-on categories like  rel=canonical /product/ & schema markup as Robert stated is a huge asset that should be taken advantage of.

The only thing I can think of that would possibly help you more is using the getlisted.org part of Moz it is an extremely valuable resource for local listing and I would also make sure that your site is properly cited in all quality local directories such as the Yellow Pages.

Matching that with a locally optimized unique landing page as Miriam stated will help a lot as long as it also contains the local phone number and address properly implemented using schema will make a big difference if you successfully get your site listed in all the high-quality directories "e.g. super pages"

then the landing page will come up in the search engines. Make sure you put your site through this tool.

https://getlisted.org/

I hope I have been of help,

Thomas

I am assuming this means you're keeping your content and everything else link structure at the same correct?

** If you are going to be changing URLs and things like that please let me know so I can answer this more appropriately for that.**

If you use a high-quality developer to make sure all the minor things that will be changing that make up the theme are handled properly you can get away without being touched by Google and may be going up. Although the opposite can happen if you do not take precautions.

The quality of the theme can hurt your rankings as well as boost them. Use a high quality developer to guide you through this. I would run “screaming frog seo spider” before the change then again after. Also pay close attention to Google Webmaster tools.

I know that there can be changes with JavaScript, CSS and many other things because of a theme change you'll want to be very conscious of these things and they can affect your site architecture.

there's a good chance that there will be other things inside the site that will be changing. You will want to look out for 404's you want to be certain that the theme you are changing it with his a high quality theme at least from WordPress.org I prefer studio press or Woo themes that these are my preferences.

you will have a lot of small things change inside your site you'll want to use the crawl tool to monitor issues and take care of them right away.

One tip if you use Genesis-based framework or studio press themes you get built-in schema which is a nice perk.

I hope this is helpful and remember to check your site for changes that most likely will occur when you modify your site.

Sincerely,

Thomas

hi this is something that I believe is the result of your link profile not content.

I used a few tools to check out your site and unfortunately you have a lot of junk pointing to it

http://marketing.grader.com/site/www.thelaw.com

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/thelaw.com#

I would also use tools similar to scribe content when building your content

http://scribecontent.com/

look for information from hub spot and scribe that way you can't generate what I'm seeing is a very large amount of free directories that aren't worth anything and Google is penalizing you mostly because you are getting by before with your exact match domain now that they have most likely taken that away from you in fact I'm sure they have you are now stuck with very few links pointing to your website of any value. I would contact a very good firm like

distilled.net

http://www.portent.com/

Internet marketing ninjas

You have some links that are not at all related to your site pointing at you.

however even worse you have a tremendous amount of spam links pointing to your website here is a handful Google essentially is telling people now if you do this your and a lot of trouble.

You have quite a few of these pointed out your site, and I would do everything in my power to remove them.

you can compare yourself to your competitors here I have given links sites that are similar to yours

while one of them has a very good hosting company as the actual domain this is got to be the strangest link I've ever seen please put your mouse over the lines below this is all in clear text if you highlight it with your mouse you will see what I'm talking about

the link itself is here

As you're probably aware your content can be stolen on a and Google will rank it page that has more authority it's extremely unfortunate and based on the fact that your site is about the law I would definitely go after the people or what  I have found much easier is go after the web host allowing the content on their site you can use copy scape to find the people copying your website then simply write a letter Google web host responsibility the Digital millennium act

you will find that every web host would rather lose a customer then be find the $150,000 you are entitled to if they keep the content up. I had this issue I went directly to the host towing bother with the person you can actually give them a form signed with the digital signature and they must take it down or you can take them to court I found they made the offending websites go away within 2 days of me delivering them a affidavit did he mail and the Digital millennium act.

I hope this helps but everything Justin just told you is absolutely true. This is done more often in e-commerce websites where they're using stronger less similar frameworks and adding a word press blog. I would try to convince your friend not to mix-and-match to Paul with WordPress I don't understand the benefit but then again I don't get to see the projects so I should just tell you the fax. Yes you definitely can run WordPress separately on a different host and there are separate IP address is used all the time when you think about it in DNS your email, FTP sometimes that's FTPS definitely SFT P yeah I could go on. However I will spare us all. Remember with word press to get a strong managed WordPress post that's my best advice for your friend. I would look at WP engine, Pagely, zippy kid, web synthesis, page labs, they are the leaders in this industry right now and it really pays off a lot to use one of them. You can also help your friend I don't know if this is allowed or not you might want to check but you yourself get four months of WP engine for free through pro perks you can find it at the bottom of the page or 30% off for a life of Pagely through pro perks you can find it at the bottom of the page.

I hope I have been of help to you and please remember Justin's the one that told you first so don't forget to tip him well.

Sincerely,

Thomas

you want to use a tool to check every URL obviously starting a campaign at Moz will give you a lot of information in another quick way is to use

https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test

https://www.deepcrawl.com/ ( My personal favorite)

https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/

https://varvy.com/tools/  is showing you have a domain rank of five that is good.

make sure you did the 301 redirects that are needed to keep your old URLs pointing to your new URLs

https://moz.com/community/q/how-to-keep-old-url-juice-during-site-switch

https://moz.com/blog/achieving-an-seo-friendly-domain-migration-the-infographic

http://www.aleydasolis.com/images/seo-website-domain-migration.gif

https://moz.com/community/q/changing-domains-how-much-link-juice-is-lost-with-301-redirect

your site speed could use a lot of improving but that would not destroy your site's ability to rank.

if you would like me to run a deep crawl audit for you I'd be happy to do so at no cost let me know,

Thomas

If the background of the site is white and you made the H1 White you are doing something black hat rather your intentions are good or not in the eyes of Google.

I'm not saying you're trying to do something wrong if the client does not want to use the H1 tag what are they using for a title? You can still combine the two if you must is much better than making it essentially clear text which is what Google will think the white text is if the background is white.

you have to tell your client the H1 tag is extremely important and they need to introduce the page with the H1 tag displayed to the end-user.

Respectfully,

Thomas

I have heard a lot of people complain about page rank loss during the recent Penguin 2 update. Unfortunately that could be just Google's way of changing their own page rank. if the page itself is unaffected rank wise I would not be worried. The other thing I would what your client know is those page rank toolbars are notoriously wrong so you might want to check it through a more powerful or trustworthy source. I don't really put a lot of stock in Google's page rank because they frankly have told us not to and I would look more at the Moz rank

if there is a problem with the robots.txt it would be very possible Google is slow to reinstate it after what happened.

I would still check site with everything below however this is something I've heard of already from 2 other people. So it could just be a glitch or Google has made changes to its page rank algorithm.

It sounds to me as if there's either a problem with the robots.txt

or it's a simple matter of the plug-in or whatever's being used saying not to index or follow the homepage

if you could use this tool and simply type in the URL plus robots.txt

like this below

http://example.com/robots.txt

http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/robots-txt-generator/

then post the results or send me a private message with them included.

In addition go on the homepage and search with either control F if you're a PC user or command F if you are Mac user for nofollow  and noindex

if you find either one of these

they will look like this

http://www.robotstxt.org/meta.html

<title>...</title>

 you can use the

http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/robots-txt-generator/

to change them to make sure they're not on the page. You do not need them there as Google default indexes and follows every page unless you tell it not to. The other thing you have to look for use of  the X tag as well it can do the same thing as shown below

Example uses of the X-Robots-Tag

If you want to prevent search engines from showing files you’ve generated with PHP, add the following in the header file:

| 1 | header("X-Robots-Tag: noindex", true); |

This would not prevent search engines from following the links on those pages, if you want to do that, do the following:

| 1 | header("X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow", true); |

But doing it in PHP is probably not the easiest use for this kind of thing. I myself greatly prefer setting headers in Apache, when possible. Consider, for instance, preventing search engines from caching / showing a preview for all .doc files on your domain, you would only have to do the following:

take a look at this to know if you are pages being affected by one or the other.

I hope this is of help,

let me know if I can be of more assistance.

Hi,

Unfortunately, I've never heard of the person you talking about. However, I do know of webdevstudios they do fantastic work. I wish I could give you more regarding the exact designer you are talking about however if you want a reference to a designer that works with Genesis primarily however can build any type of site needed. I would strongly recommend  Greg Reindel http://www.gregreindel.com/articles/ one of the things that I am extremely impressed with that he is doing is building on the new HTML 5 Genesis platform the ability to take what I think is the best framework for WordPress and web dev studios uses the most as well which is Genesis and have the knowledge and capability he has for what I consider the best framework out there the HTML 5 Genesis 2 platform which is extremely new however if you look at this article you will be able to see he knows it so well that he is an extremely talented developer. He is also located in the United States Texas and in my past I can tell you that I've had negative experiences dealing with web designers outside of the United States simply because if something goes wrong there is no remedy legally however if you work with the designer inside the United States there's always a mutual respect for the law. I'm telling you because I was shorthanded by a Pakistani web development group and was left with absolutely no alternative, but to deal with what I was given. If it had been a web design firm in the United States I would've had legal options.

I would strongly recommend you have your site built from HTML 5 as it has so many benefits you can check that out by going to Yoast.com and read some of his articles about turning his Genesis site into a Genesis 2.0 HTML 5 site.

Here's the article http://www.gregreindel.com/genesis-html5-child-starter-theme/

Here's Yoast talking about using HTML 5 along with Genesis 2.0

http://yoast.com/schema-org-genesis-2-0/

The benefits of having a properly built HTML 5 website are huge and if you're looking at web dev studios I know you're looking at WordPress.

I hope I've been of help to you,

Thomas

Hi Robert,

I think what you've brought up is extremely interesting. We have one in turn and currently we are not paying them at their own request. This is odd I know and I believe possibly illegal.

I think federal law states that you must pay an intern for any job you would pay an employee to do.

I've never met anyone who comes to a business and asks can I work for free without anything in return.

This particular intern needs this internship and so you know we are in fact paying her even though she keeps refusing our checks. Simply because we will have trouble on our hands possibly if we don't.

I agree with your statement about wanting to pay people so they will have the incentive to work hard for you.

I do pay my interns although I do only have one at this current time as school has just restarted.

I have always given a paycheck of $12 an hour to any intern we have had. The maximum amount of interns we have ever had is four for blueprint marketing however my main business is in plastics and the amount of interns we have had their is well over 40.

Every one of them is paid as well and we essentially have copied the word went to pay you rather you like it or not planned from MTI Polyexe for instance http://www.mtipolyexe.com is built on Hubspot (we are not abandoning hub spot just hosting on WordPress) and currently it is the interns job to rebuild the website in WordPress we are using a dead domain as a staging server please feel free to take a look at what they've accomplished so far.

http://www.fundblueprint.com

&

http://mtipolyexe.wpengine.com

my other company that manufactures plastics.

My advice to you is make sure you pay them regardless just because you never know with federal law.

I do think they benefit quite a bit by learning from somebody who has been there and done that as long as they're interested and really care about coming to work I'm cool with taking them on. I have had some interns that have blatantly no interest at all and unfortunately we have to let them go.

I hope my story of how we use interns in my marketing company has been of help to you. If you would like to know more about how we use them in the plastics business I would be happy to share my stories with you.

Sincerely,

Thomas

The only thing I can think of is Google is showing you what it last indexed and that does sound strange. However there is a other way to put your address on schema properly and quickly so you'll get the local search results you want.

Use this tool http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/address/

it's 100% free and has a lot of extra tools connected that are great

You can also utilize

http://schema-creator.org/

If you prefer to use micro data which is almost the same thing as schema you can use this tool.

http://www.microdatagenerator.com/

However I have been told not to mix the two causes some issues with search engines. So take schema or micro data is what I have recently been told I have been trying to get a solid confirmation so I think it's a possibility that it would make sense but don't want to tell you something that is not true.

My $.02 use the 1st tool and it will do the job just fine.

It is in the form of a Word press plug-in but also gives you the ability to create schema correctly right on the site and paste it into your code.

The nice thing about it is there's a little box to the right that gives you a exact match of what it's going to look like on your site.

If you don't want it to look like it formatted anything I would use the 1st tool. However both of them are excellent.

One last thing if you're using WordPress consider Yoast Local SEO it seems expensive but does a fantastic job

More great sources of information

Hi Mike,
I did not mean to be at all confrontational or disrespectful  or confrontational or mean that you are disrespectful. I know Matt and could understand where he was coming from.
I am not in any way trying to be confrontational I simply believe from my many years of SEO that while somebody who has then a part of your niche in the past or still is may have more insight into your day-to-day business however when it comes to how websites deal with Google it has never mattered at all whether or not the person actually has worked in the industry In which the website focuses on.
I think you're right if one party says red any other said blue sometimes green wood be the answer however it is not the norm.
Having said that I believe all good SEO's should have to explained their reasoning as to why they believe something that the client has a differing opinion on.

Believe me I did not mean to make that personal and I know that you want what is best for your site and you have every right to question people's opinions.

I wholeheartedly apologize for my remarks if they offended you in any way.
I'm happy to move on and continue helping you find a solution if you would like me to. The reason I said don't get mad at me was when people feel strongly about one thing or another and this is an important thing and it would be wrong of me to tell you something I didn't this right was correct but if we disagree there needs to be a common ground as you stated. I understand you much better now and I don't want to leave you hanging.

You asked me how I got your robots.txt
because what I posted is different from going to your site and looking at the standard robots.txt

I do believe that any of these companies can fix your website site. I know that because I have worked with many of them and these are people who get results time and time again.

I can tell you that I don't just recommend anyone and I cannot comment on what they would charge you don't know.

I can tell you most likely they're going to charge you for such assessment it would be in the thousands most likely

Then once they have come to their decision as to the best course of action you would receive the main quote.

Now normally and it's bad practice to guarantee anything in stringent opposition because Google can make a change overnight and nullify everything.

With that said and this is a precaution people take because I'm sure you understand is an attorney your time is worth something to you.

I am a chemical engineer by trade I still am in fact I have a company that manufactures release liner blown film extrusion in New Hampshire.

I do this because I honestly enjoy it gotten to enjoy it too much. 
You shared a bit about yourself I thought it would share a little about myself. Just to know each other.

I can tell you without a doubt that these guys can fix your site. If you want my own opinion of what I would do seeing as how I have looked at quite a bit of it I would save myself a lot of money and use a managed WordPress host they're going to be able to fix a lot of things that other people in charge a lot more for. I have seen people pay for things that companies like WP engine, Zippy kid, Web synthesis & Page.ly will do for free table make sure that your site is up and running with the robot text for instance I know that the guys that the hosts I've named will handle that for you free of charge. If you're hosted with them.

I can't even tell you that WP engine and Zippykid each have had the company automatic the one that owns WordPress invest in them. Those two both share technology as well so you get a lot. In my opinion web synthesis this is is an excellent host as well and pagely would be a big improvement over what you're on right now http://steadfast.net/

I'm not knocking your host just letting you know that anyone who specializes in WordPress and only WordPress knows a lot more about it than the guys who post everything.

I don't mean to get too off topic but you favor and look at each of the companies I have listed one thing that you might find bothersome for not is most of them do not have phone support only one zippy kid offers 24 7 phone support WP engine only when you spend $250 plus on their larger plan however both are excellent web hosts. In fact they're all excellent at customer support answering tickets. If you want to host that will literally take care of a lot of the WordPress issues you have might want to consider one of the above hosts and I say this because I have an account with each and every one of them.

Here is a site that is built out of hundred percent HTML 5 based on Genesis 2.0 WordPress it is optimized extremely well so well in fact that in Europe it still maintains site load speeds of under one second this particular site is now hosted on Zippykid with dual CDN's F5 load balancers, private cloud architecture with a Cisco enterprise-level firewall along with the option for a free optimization every site is optimized by Net DNA or Google engineer designed around the Nginx Web server instead of Apache the amount of memory saved his incredible.
for illustrative purposes, serving 10,000 simultaneous connections would only cause Nginx to use 2 megabytes of RAM whereas Apache would probably consume hundreds of megabytes (if it could do it at all).
the result it's fast take look at a site that just was brought over.
http://www.gregreindel.com/
with HTML 5 and all that brings to the table it is extremely search engine friendly and if you have any of these issues in the future the host will fix it

Getting back to what you are looking for. I would definitely recommend any of the companies below and if you're asking me are they going to pay you back the fee if they cannot remedy your problem. It would all depend on would deal you made mostly what you consider your problems to be. They're not going to guarantee anything with Google knowing well that is not going to lie to you. Honestly if somebody does guarantee you rankings run there impossible to guarantee. If somebody guarantees that they can fix something on your website in order to make it more search engine friendly that I could see a possible guarantee.
However don't think you get any of them to look at site for free and to be completely up front with you a lot of them or probably not available they're very good at what they do.

I think if you want Matt to do the job then I would discuss that with him he's a great guy and I think the one thing. When run into with all SEO's is not we can't figure this out it's going to be we will figure this out and give you a price. in this case because you are not saying well I need you to work on a campaign to any of them I can't tell you that it would be a free examination of your site. I really doubt it would be.

I know that unless continuous work is done to keep Google happy essentially campaign then a ongoing relationship that keeps your website to where you are making a positive ROI otherwise it should really not worth it right?

"You state great certainty that any of them would fix the problem. Would that mean that these SEO consultants would be paid part after completion of the fix and the problem solved? If so, it's a no brainer and I'd hire them immediately since the return on investment pays for continued investment. But I will tell you that from my experience most spoke with same certainty of fixing the problem as you do along with great projections but they didn't reflect that same degree of certainty when it came time to talk about billing."

It is completely possible to set a goal and offer 50% up front and 50% when the goals met I don't see the harm in asking I would be very specific about what you consider fixed is

Now one thing you mentioned was you like Yoast I do too.

Why don't you use is service it seems like this might be the perfect answer for what you need right now.

Want to Improve your Website but don’t know where to Start?

https://yoast.com/hire-us/website-review/
Regarding your robots.txt
I used a tool that pulls any robot text on the website sometimes it's a more than one place for instance somebody can putt two plug-ins that each control the same function robots.txt in this case

And the tool formats it correctly it allows you to make adjustments if needed.
Essentially I've used it pull from your domain not just robots.txt

Here is the link I suggest you check it out and put your domain or if you like as the instructions say you can just put in http://www.thelaw.com/robots.txt

http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/robots-txt-generator/

I would change to this

1
User-Agent: *
2
Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/

http://yoast.com/example-robots-txt-wordpress/

Robots.txt is a way to tell a search engine which pages it’s allowed to spider, to “see”, and which pages it cannot “see”. Because of that, robots.txt differs from meta name="robots" tags, which tell search engines on those individual pages, whether they can include them in their index or not. The difference is subtle, but important. Because of that, the suggested robots.txt in the codex is wrong. Let me explain:
Google sometimes lists URLs that it’s not allowed to spider, because it’s blocked by robots.txt, because a lot of links point to a URL. A good example of this is a search for [RTL Nieuws] (disclosure: RTL is a client of mine). rtlnieuws.nl 301 redirects to the news section of rtl.nl. But… rtlnieuws.nl/robots.txt exists… And has the following content:
1
User-agent: *
2
Disallow: /
Because of that, the links towards rtlnieuws.nl don’t count toward the news section on rtl.nl, and Google displays rtlnieuws.nl in the search results. This is unwanted behavior that we’re trying to fix but for now it’s a good example of what I wanted to explain. By blocking /wp-admin/ and /trackback/ in your robots.txt, you’re not preventing them from showing up.
Unfortunately, recently the /wp-admin/ block was added to WordPress core, because of this Trac ticket. In the discussion on that ticket, I’ve proposed another solution in this patch. This solution involves sending an X-Robots-Tag header, which is the HTTP header equivalent of a meta name="robots" tag. This would in fact remove all wp-admin directories from Google search results.
WordPress Robots.txt blocking Search results and Feeds
There are two other sections which are blocked in the suggested robots.txt, /*?, which blocks everything with a question mark and as such all search results, and */feed/, which blocks all feeds. The first is not a good idea because if someone were to link to your search results, you wouldn’t benefit from those links.
A better solution would be to add a tag to those search results pages, as it would prevent the search results from rankings but would allow the link “juice” to flow through to the returned posts and pages. This is what my WordPress SEO plugin does as soon as you enable it. It also does this for wp-admin and login and registration pages.
I’m aware that that is different from Google’s guidelines on this topic at the moment, which state:
Use robots.txt to prevent crawling of search results pages or other auto-generated pages that don’t add much value for users coming from search engines.
I’ve reached out to Google to get clarification on whether they would say my solution is acceptable as well, or perhaps even better .
Blocking /feed/ is a bad idea because an RSS feed is actually a valid site map for Google. Blocking it would prevent Google from using that to find new content on your site. So, my suggested robots.txt for WordPress is actually a lot smaller than the Codex one. I only have this:
1
User-Agent: *
2
Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/
I block the plugins directory because some plugin developers have the annoying habit of adding index.php files to their plugin directories that link back to their websites. For all other parts of WordPress, there are better solutions for blocking.
The other WordPress Robots.txt suggestions
The other sections of the robots.txt as suggested are a bit old and no longer needed. Digg mirror is something for us old guys who remember when Digg used to send loads of traffic, Googlebot Image and Media Partner are still there but if you only have the above in your robots.txt you don’t need specific lines for them in your WordPress robots.txt file.

I also think the site map is set up incorrectly it should just be simply one index sitemap_index.XML I don't know that you even need one for your form however that's something I would needs more time on. However I would ideally put into the same index.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-4/vbulletin-4-questions-problems-and-troubleshooting/426502-is-an-xml-sitemap-that-crucial-for-forums

I will do this if you would like please feel free to call me tomorrow I have an appointment at 11 o'clock Eastern time I'm not looking to try to get business trust me however I feel that when people discuss things over the phone they tend to get worked out much faster than any other method. If I can be of help to you in any way I would be happy to do that. I will also be happy to explain to any reasons I feel you should go one way if you feel that is not the right way.

I will send you a private message and the choice is yours I would strongly suggest using one of the companies I suggested. you can also get Yoast to look over your site for $1100 and tell you what's wrong.

All the best,

Thomas

I agree with Keri and Richard

The short answer is yes of course but it depends on how big your website is.

I believe Woo commerce is one of the best plug-ins available to make WordPress work or ecommerce. I like either Woo themes, studio press themes and hundreds of other compatible themes able to run ecommerce very efficiently and the ability to create contents so simply to me makes it a great choice for many people.

It all depends though on how many items you are selling if you are selling something over 1000 items you may want to look into magento granted you will have to spend a lot more on your server and you will have to really put more work into building the site to make it search engine friendly and user-friendly which should be one the same.

However if you do go down the magento path I recommend fire host because if you're selling that many items. Want PCI compliance

If you are using WordPress I would recommend any of the managed WordPress hosting companies in addition to of course fire host.

If you run any of the demo themes on this website you are actually using an e-commerce website made out of WordPress.

Your ability to handle traffic is based on your host not the platform they are running on. Of course the developer plays a huge hand in your sites ability to load quickly and run well under strain.

However if you use a Web server like Nginx or varnish you can run a extremely high amount of people on your site at same time and everything is served from the cache.

You would want to look into a managed WordPress hosting company like WP Engine, Zippy kid, Pagely, Web synthesis or get flywheel. The first 2 companies mentioned run all sites from memory and are extremely fast in addition to being able to run as many people as you want without having to worry about something crashing or breaking.

I honestly think it's a great idea if you use quality developers and quality plug-ins.

Stick with Woo commerce the woo themes company is a good place to buy your theme as is studio press which makes Genesis in my opinion the best team/framework producer.

I can recommend some excellent developers and word press Greg Renidel http://gregreindel.com and web dev studios are both places I would look to for this type of work.

As far as making sure your server is locked down and PCI compliant. There are so many great pay gateways out there that utilize their own PCI compliant hosting so you really don't have to pay the extra money to have your server locked down because when a financial transaction happens it is being done on a separate server with a page that looks just like one of your regular pages however it's your checkout page. This is done all the time without people noticing.

Blue pay, Braintree, stripe and the list goes on are all excellent choices for payment gateways all of them host the payment gateway themselves.

I hope this has been of help,

Thomas

Hi,

Adding the things that you're talking about our actually a lot easier than I think you're making them sound. Federico is right but I would start with HTML and Java PHP is harder. Use www.w3schools.com for that, or my fave - http://teamtreehouse.com/.

Best advice is use distilled.net/U & http://teamtreehouse.com/. It goes over learning HTML and how SEO's should understand HTML. In addition you can find money off of distilled.net/U as well as http://www.grovo.com/ ( and outstanding way to learn coding). Both have money saving offers through Moz.com/perks check it out as I believe there are other ways to learn HTML in their as well.

You said you had trouble with small piece of codes to a website for verification purposes or adding rich snippet try this is is easy http://schema-creator.org/ or https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2692911. I like the first for modifying the ga code to get more out of it. I know some HTML and understands the core elements and attributes. Any website made up word press or any CMS will have a box You Can Place Google analytics code in it. You essentially have to learn where the header begins and ends you can do this with the distilled course, or any of the other ways mentioned. If you are using WordPress and you want to get something verified simply use Yoast. Or if you're not using WordPress, use an FTP server to download the content make the changes only after learning them then upload the finished product.

It honestly is a lot easier than it seems. My developer friends bust my chops because I asked him how to center a video on the screen because I could not remember when I remembered, and he told me how I would feel when I was told I felt like I had forgot my keys but not lost my mind. What I'm getting at is if you can do search engine optimization well you'll be able to understand HTML, Java, PHP & all the other fun stuff out there.

All the best,
Thomas

Read this as well

http://moz.com/blog/next-domain-gold-rush

make sure you're not running an odd plug-in that maybe causing a caching issue I know it sounds strange but I've heard of this before and it was because of an all-in-one event calendar plug in.

If it's not something like that I definitely agree with what Chris's said Good call on that Chris.

however if there is no domain you will have to implement the robots.txt on whatever your server is currently running.

If you want a free tool that will allow you to create a solid block here's one below however Chris has done a great job of creating one.

Hi Robert,

That is awesome the fact that you are changing people's lives like that is amazing. You are literally taking somebody's entire life and change it for the better. That is a fantastic thing you are doing. I want to help.

I have been using Basecamp for a long time now I cannot speak on the other products but I believe it is one of the best project management tools in the world. Not only does it allow you to keep everything in one place making the project infinitely easier to stay on the same page with developers, designers clients you name it. Basecamp allows you to upload any type of file you can think of it also can work with Google Drive if people want to save space. It has an amazing ability to render photographs, Videos and now PDFs on the screen by simply placing the link into the text area will show up as a photograph.

This makes it very easy to illustrate what is happening and really give you something special in my opinion. including photos, e-mails can be replied to or forwarded this is just the tip of the iceberg that comes to base camp's abilities.

I have attached this link and sent it to some people at base camp I hope that they will see what a wonderful thing you are doing.

I will also cc you Robert.

Thomas

Screaming frog is awesome but deepcrawl.co.uk is amazing if you wanted to find the URLs that are 404 or external, broken, you name it it will do it very quickly and on a massive scale.

Merry Christmas,

Ruben

Your friend is speaking about a 100% HTML site and the answer is your site should not end using

www.yoursite.com/index.htm or home.htm or default.htm

Using Word press your site should end in www.yoursite.com or www.yoursite.com/

Some people when they ring there site over from an HTML static site to WordPress they might find a parma links

http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

If you do this and 301 redirect any links that would be changed  by using  WordPress to the new Permalink structure shown below or if you feel like using one of the others which I recommend against you may. However most sites are best served using the settings below.

Sincerely,

Thomas

UPDATE

Chris is not someone I would use

I have to say I do not know Chris but I looked at his site and it looks good. He looks like he knows what is doing I obviously cannot vouch for somebody had to not know but most people here are fairly honest and knowledgeable. The one thing Chris does have over me is he is in the UK. I will give my information if you do end up needing It. One thing I will leave you with is that conversion rate would get you one month of link building from a company called vast visionSEO http://www.vvseoco.com/seo-services.php They are employing very many ex- SEO.com guys that really know what they're talking about. I would definitely talk to Chris as he seems like a cool guy and his site is very good I'm sorry my site right now is under construction. So I think the right thing to do would endorse Chris is in the UK if you guys have an issue my Info is below. I can get you very good work for that money.

All the best,

I think it is for one reason people type it in when they type a link there used to it SO if there linking to you it will go right to the www. 200 code & not 301 if you pick www.

But if its a long domain I like to drop the www.

Use what you like I like using www. it's matter of choice

Rember to 301 your domain

All the best,

Thomas
