Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If G thinks 'wrong' page is best fit to query, i'd check your on-page optimisation for 'bad' and 'good' pages via Moz Research Tools then if 'wrong' page does come out best tweak it to reduce bounce.

(hope i've read this correctly)

Assuming no problems with the bulk of the pages, i expect these will be picked up over time. It might be a good idea to do Fetch as Google in WMT (under Health tab) on homepage and submit to index - click all linked pages too.

Hi, this may be nothing, but is the link rel canonical for the homepage a recent addition? I've had a similar issue since i added this on a site.

Also, (prob not connected) but you might want to sort out Title Tag on homepage:

<title></span><span>Photos on Canvas | Photo to Canvas Prints | Get Your Photo CanvasWhy Get Your Photo on Canvas Prints From Us?</span><span></title>

Good luck trying to sort it.

..or subtitled "This is how I did it"

Managed to get clients second most important keyword to #1 on Google recently (most important is about 5 or 6, am getting there with that one)

Yes, we all know 'rankings aren't important, traffic/searches are' but you know what -  when a Client sees their keyword at #1 it kinda helps getting paid.

Thus, in summary, this is how I did it. I don't think there's anything earth shattering here but it might help a few out as I see so many 'where do i start' type posts.

1 - Do everything within Webmaster Tools that is humanly possible. Sitemaps, fix errors, preferred domain the lot. Spend ages here!

2 - Get your on page optimisation sorted out. Decide on THE main keyword for page, fire it into your campaign and test it. Do not give up until it's an A and you've done ALL the tips/hints (yes, even bold text on the page.) It's obvious but you have to tell a Search Engine exactly what the page is about - and give it a few hints too.

3 - Links - ahhh, good old links the bain of our lives. This site was struggling for links so i bought some - yes, the shame of it. I still think the best directories are a good starting point, spent about £400 or so. (BOTW, JoeAnt, HotVsNot etc,) Also, find low hanging fruit places for links. See where top 3 or 4 competitors are getting links from (via OSE) and get your site linked there too. These aren't always chargeable.

4 - Get rid of as many errors you can from Crawl Diagnostics (Roger) and do everything you can to ensure page(s) load as quick as possible. e.g. for images, resize them and reduce colour depth.

5 - Go over Steps 1-4 again and again AND AGAIN.

I think that's about it (will add anything if i think of it), this all took about 4-5 months - not to do the SEO work but for Google (or any SE) to recognise it all, so thanks to all at SEOmoz, the blogs and this forum for all the assistance. (Just need to get Linkscape updated quicker now folks - i couldn't resist that one!)

Hi, bit of an odd one.

Anything in Webmaster Tools in Crawl Error/Stats?

Anything being blocked by robots.txt?

I'd definitely get the 'power saving' issue fixed too, shouldn't be happening in this day and age with any type of web server. If bot tries to visit site and gets lost/confused, it doesn't take long for it to move on.

Oh, btw, i'd fix your title tag on home page while you're at it, seems a bit long to me.

Good luck.

PS - presuming your site is apogeecorp your content is viewable both with and without www, so i'd fix that too by permanently redirecting one to the other, probably non-www to www.

Hi everyone,

Can someone explain the benefits of adding OG tags to a site?

As far as I can see/read doing this 'enables a site to become part of the FB social graph' (or similar..)

...and that's what exactly?

(confused smiley)

Cheers.

Would a 301 from .com to .co.uk work better?

Ah yes, Step 0 is paramount! Thanks for the comment.
