Thanks very much.

Great bit of advice. Much appreciated.

Thanks

yeah I have decided to go multi-page with it. but this is a good idea - I think I will throw a blog in there as well, to keep the content fresh.

Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the response.

However I'm not talking about a PR2 site, that would be an incredible link for me right now!

I'm meaning a page that has no rank. What's the value of these?

Thanks

Hi,

So I was just wondering if someone with more knowledge than myself can answer this question for me.

I have a site - currently sat on page 2 of google. On-site optimisation is done, however I am struggling to get backlinks that are from highranking pages.

I am new to SEO so need a hand.

My understanding of backlinks is that the higher the PR of the site that links to your 'money' site, the better that link is, and that these links are very hard to come by. (something that I am finding).

Many times I have found sites that have a high rank and offer for a free listing, only for me to fill in details and get listed on a sub-page that has no ranking whatsoever.

So my question is, are these kind of links worth the effort? Do they actually have any effect on rankings?

And generally would anyone have any tips on the best sites to get links?

Thanks

Generally it is social that I am doing - Facebook, Twitter and G+.

I think I am going to make the site multi-page. Seems the best way, just need to convince my client to spend the money. Just feel like I'm selling a dead horse at the minute.

Thanks for the response.

Hi Andrew,

From my understanding of the canonical tag. It is used more for ensuring that google knows which URL is the one that you are wanting them to pay attention to. (To help with not having duplicate content etc)

Maybe if you investigate 301 redirects that would possibly be more what you are after. They do pass on metrics such as authority etc - but it won't be 100% of this. Moz has a pretty good article on it http://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection

Hope this helps.

I am new to SEO and am currently trying to market a single page website. Its proving to be hard. I have managed to get the site to page one for a few keywords and it is improving (upto page 2 for some desired keywords) but it seems to have stuck there for a few weeks now - with no movement.

I am able to develop it if required. However I thought that I would just ask if there was anything that could give it a nudge without this? I have done on-site optimisation. As far as I'm aware that's about as good as it can be.

So any advice?
