Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm sorry for his but I'll try to be honest.

It looks more like a price-list than an infographic.

Try to add more focus on the fun/info part, create a story about it.

I think the topic can be fun enough to be shared around if you put some time into it..

Hi Matt,

I think that you have a decent website there, as a general suggestion I might say: focus.

Home Page

The black backround is ok for the menu, but having a black backround on the other boxes headers puts them on he same level of importance, which I don' think is ok.

The main focus of the page is on FREE DELIVERY and PRICE MATCH and not on the mai banner

I know that these messages are important but it shouldn't keep me away from the main message.

Content Page

The same here for the boxes header.

If your product has only one option it's difficult for me to see the add button.

Suggestions:

1. Put more focus on the homepage banner by adding some colour on the background and changing the black background header.

2. On the product page change  the black background from the tabs, product option header.

3. Having the images on a background (not white) will put more focus on the product.

I hope this helps

Hi,

You know what. If the keyword is really important for your company.

Don't ruin what you have.

Take these steps:

1.  For the existing traffic create a clear and easy way from the homepage to the product page.

2. Start optimizing the product page for that keyword. If your homepage ranks #1 for the keyword chances are that Google will rank fairly fast your product page.

I've seen websites ranking with 2 pages for the same keyword.

Go on google.co.uk and search "secured loans" and you'll see that the first 2 results are from the same company.

Don't ruin a #1 for the chance that you might rank a product page.

Well to start ... managing 10 blogs is not easy.

The 10 links that you will place on your own domains or WordPress ... etc  will not be high value links because the websites are new and don't have a high page authority.

If you want to start somewhere Link directories from SEOmoz but don't stop here, start producing content and share it.

Hi BlastAM,

Have you tried http://sharedcount.com.

It's working very good for me. And the updates look to be instant.

Cornel

I know about FWA but do no really follow it.

I do follow Awwwards and I think i's a trust wordy website. I've seen there listed websites from brands like Pepsi, Coca Cola, Nike, Addidas.

So yes do submit your website to Awwwards, but do it because you have a great website and you can get ranked as the website of the day.

They have amazing websites there and can get you natural back-links from people that will like your website.

I don't know much about the directory submission but I know they are a trusted website.

Hope this Helps

Cornel

Maybe this can help you: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-check-which-links-can-harm-your-sites-rankings

Well, somehing is always better than nothing but it's just a mater of time spent.

In the end you will conclude that you have to start creating new content to share it.

Hi Jorenr,

1,300 (exact match) for 'some' keywords is not a lot and it can be volatile.

The best place to start debugging is Webmaster Tools > Traffic > Search Queries.

Here you can see if your website has been displayed, how many times, on what keywords, on what position and the CTR of your results.

Please check this and let me know the results.

Cornel

Hi Donnie,

One of the occasions when you should use nofollow is paid links.

If you are offering sponsored links to you partners, Google demands that you nofollow those links.

Cornel

Well ... as I know from the syntax the you have above is not a matter of

, <a>,

tags.

Your problem is javaScript Links which are not followed by Google.

The Problem is not the

is the way you call your link (JavaScript)

So the answer is NO, don't use JavaScript links if you want the link juice.</a>

Hi Malcolm,

You are right and the second position gets only ~12%.

Than means less than 160 visits a month.

Cornel

Hi Florent,

To calculate your CTR you shouldn't compare Google estimates with you traffic.

Google Webmaster tools gives you an exact CTR number

Take a look at this http://i.imgur.com/wWZzr.png

Hi,

301: Permanent Redirect, (Response to the crawler)

404: Not found (Response to the user)

Here is a nice Response codes article  http://www.seomoz.org/blog/response-codes-explained-with-pictures

In theory 404 is a safety net for your website when: you delete a page (you shouldn't :), a user types in a incorrect URL ... etc and you don't want the server to display the ugly 404 error message to the client. A lot of 404s to me it shows that the webmaster is not keeping a close eye to his links.

Although 301 redirecting a page that is not relevant anymore is not 100% accurate it's the best solution because:

• you keep the links juice

• your showcase page is the most relevant page on the website.

• you don't lose any direct visits.

Cornel

How big is the report?

Cornel

HI Adam,

Sending emails to your partners to changes their links is just a natural process after a 301 redirect.

No, Google wont find that spammy and it will increase your link juice, rankings etc.

Cornel

Just send your client this:

1. Missing Meta Description

Hi Harry,

I'll suggest you stay away from them any kind of auto directory submission service it's a wast of money.

Try this: http://www.seomoz.org/directories

But do it ourself or someone from our company.

Cornel

Hi Clotaire,

From a Romanian to another take some time and read this: http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo it will explain a lot of your questions and it will give you a solid ground to build on.

Cornel

Hi Jon,

I don't know of any difference as long as you keep just one of them so you avoid the duplicate content.

To me it seams that people are more used with the www when they naturally want to link to your website.

Hope this helps

Cornel

Hi Nicola,

Is good because google can index both example.com and www.example.com and you end up with duplicate content.

First question:

Yes PA can be greater than DA.

Watch this 2010 WBF http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-domain-authority-page-authority-metrics

Second Question:

DA can predict that you will have good rankings but does not guarantee it.

Buna (Hi) Cirpian,

You should  definitely post it only and only once.

Uniqueness became very important nowadays.

But to make it easier for you I can suggest something else: you can write 10 different 'bullet points' for a topic (consistent paragraphs for each bullet point), a few different introductions and closings.

When you have this randomly chose one introduction, one closing and only 5 bullet points.

This should get you a few unique articles on a specific topic.

Cornel

I've seen something similar especially when you appear in some kind of news websites.

Maybe Google wants to see if his new page is no something 'viral'.

Cornel

Hello,

http://www.textlinkbrokers.com/sell-links.html is in buying / selling links so that is a NO! NO! NO!

http://www.thinkbigsites.com/seo-seo-packages.html play the video (min 1:05) and they'll say "we own a big network of blogs and social bookmarking profiles" ... That's again a NO! NO! NO!

I suggest you read some blogs about the penguin and panda update ... just google it.

If you have $1800 to spend on SEO each month I think you can use them in better ways.

Cornel

Hi,

1. An Anchor text is better than a byline

2. If the 2 links are pointing to the same page, yes only one counts, the first one.

3. Duplicate byline will not help if they point to the same page.
