Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have an issue with my temporary redirects. The seomoz campaign is showing many pages are redirecting to the homepage.

However, the pages it identifies are old pages and have been deleted and are not on the sitemap.

How do i solve this?

one of my SEOmoz pro campaigns has given me the warning:

Too many on-page links

and the page in question is my html sitemap.

How do i resolve this because I obviously need my sitemap. How do i get around this?

I have recently built an e-commerce website for the company I work at.

Its built on opencart.

Say for example we have a chair for sale. The url will be:

www.domain.com/best-offers/cool-chair

Thats fine, seomoz is crawling them all fine and reporting any errors under them url great.

On each product listing we have several options and zoom options (allows the user to zoom in to the image to get a more detailed look).

When a different zoom type is selected it adds on to the url, so for example:

www.domain.com/best-offers/cool-chair?zoom=1

and there are 3 different zoom types. So effectively its taking for urls as different when in fact they are all one url. and Seomoz has interpreted it this way, and crawled 10000 pages(it thinks exist because of this) and thrown up 20000 errors.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

I think I have sorted the 301s now. I agree I should really do that before launch. all a learning process.

Yer thats a good idea. When you mean search engine friendly content, can you expand on that please?

Good point, I really need to do some of that. I was thinking about that Ontolo tool. Any others you can think of?

Wow, thanks for a great answer. You should write a YouMoz post on what to do with a complete site overhaul.

Moving on, I have done some of the things you suggested, I have done the non-www to www redirect. I have also set my preferred domain in webmaster tools. And also I redirected /index.php to my domain address.

When you mention clean up the php, do you mean clean the code up a bit or something else? I was going to give the Ontolo tool a go to see if that could help with link building prospects.

I will aim to clean up URLS this week, which will mean resubmitting a new sitemap. Btw, every time I add a new page to my website, does that mean I have to resubmit a sitemap to Webmaster Tools.

One of the best tips I have heard on Q&A btw. Thanks for the help.

We have an old domain that we have had for years now. And recently. December, we completely redesigned the site, I mean a complete overhaul, design, architecture, asp to php for example. Resubmitted to google via webmaster with a new site map etc.

Our website for reference is www.completeoffice.co.uk.

We are trying to rank in UK google, www.google.co.uk, for the term office refurbishment kent (we are on page 2) and office refurbishment (we are on page 17).

This is confusing me, because thats 7 pages lower than we were originally, before the site design, its better seo wise, duplicate content is none, title tage meta tags all correct, domain authority has doubled from 12 to 24 in a few months all in an effort to rank better. our homepage and office refurb pages both got an A on the on page SEOmoz tool test. So we dont understand why we are not ranking highly. It seems sites, much uglier and less seo friendly than our with same or lower domain authority are ranking at least 10 pages higher than us.

Why is this? Can anyone help or give us a few suggestions.

All help greatly appreciated. SEOmozzers.

The question says it all really. Google analytics shows me that my top 2 pages are my domain address and index.php, which are exactly the same. Is it best to leave it like this or redirect index.php to my domain address?

Wow, what a great answer. Thanks bunch, actually helped alot

If you have more relevant backlinks than 10, and obtain a higher PR and DA over time then it is without a doubt that you will see your self rise up the ranking quickly, just give it time, Bots are doing their best.

When viewing my campaign and looking at the on page optimisation tool, I have a few issues.

I seems to only shows the keywords I want rankings for and how optimised my homepage is for those keywords.

Is there any way I can get it to analyse permanently specifc keywords for specific pages because my homepage isnt optimised for some keywords which are on my list, which I have optimised other pages for, and because its looking at my homepage its getting a really low grade, and looks really bad and frustrates me because I cant work this out.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Im currently building a blog on Wordpress, and I will be blogging about Office Interior Designs. When I look at my competition they have some great blog posts about office interior designs and I have no idea about how they get: a) The ideas to blog about, how do they find out about these office interior designs b) how they get the content for them, how do they know what to write about each one, do they need permission etc, c) if i am interested in doing a blog on the same office interior design as them, how can I get information )and permission from the company that done the office interior design) on the office interior design so i can blog about it and also how do i get the images and stuff. an example is http://www.officedesignblog.com/invensys-rail-office-concept/726/ I would like to cover this aswell, as i think my future readers would like to know about this. how did they get the images, and the information about the project so they could write a blog post about it? And how would I go about doing the same thing?

Hi.

I am new to the world of SEO, and SEOmoz has already taught me a lot.

I am a newly appointed in house SEO at www.completeoffice.co.uk.

They want to rank for the keyword office interior design, but I noticed that all the keywords they are trying to rank for, there homepage shows up on search results.

So I optimised the on page SEO of their website for the specific office interior design page.

http://www.completeoffice.co.uk/interiors.aspx. I took it from a grade F to a grade A.

Currently they are showing up just outside the top 50 for office interior design, and its the homepage in the google results. Now I have made these changes and on page optimised the SEO for this page to be solely for office interior design keyword will the search results change so that it is the specific office interior design page showing and linking to , or will it always remain the home page.

I have optimised many of the other pages in this way so that a keyword will link to the relevant page and rank for that relevant page, rather than get the home page to rank for 30 keywords.

Thanks for any help.

Using the tools in the SEOmoz pro repertoire I have inserted keywords.

Will the rankings tool show me the rankings for any of my pages on the site that have listed for this keyword, or just the home page?

Theres been alot of rage about this. go to this question:

http://www.seomoz.org/q/link-analysis

People chat about it alot today, and alot of people are very unhappy with seomoz

one of my SEOmoz pro campaigns has given me the warning:

Too many on-page links

and the page in question is my html sitemap.

How do i resolve this because I obviously need my sitemap. How do i get around this?
