Thanks for that Daniel, glad to see that it is actually visible! I'm about to begin my backlink campaign so will get stuck into that cheers

Hi guys, I've been handed a client who needs some seo work. I've tweaked one of their pages to focus on a chosen keywords about 4 months back but still the site is not even visible using the new Domain Analysis tool from moz and it still won't rank at all for the keywords.

Am I missing something here? Is there something blocking the SERP from listing the website? I've ran a site: search on Google and it returns 283 results on the website.

It's puzzling me as there clearly is something stopping it from being ranked. The domain name in question is:

https://cloud9inecommunications.co.uk

Thanks in advance.

Thats great thanks for the help

Hi, I have a wordpress website that has articles/news posts witch contain imagery. I've noticed that in the Media Library, when you upload an image to a blog post it generates a new permalink ...article-name/article-image-01.jpg

I have Yoast SEO plugin and have the option to set a canonical URL for this image. Should I point it back to the actual article?

Thanks for any helpers with this.

Thanks for your help guys. Ive sorted it.

Hi, I'm unsure of where I should be putting the following code for one of my Wordpress websites so that they redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] 

This is my current htaccess file:

Hi community, I'm going through the list of crawl errors visible in my MOZ dashboard and there's a few URLs ending in /?s=

How should I treat these URLs? Redirects?

Thanks for any help

Hi Chris, the dropdown for Artificial Grass will cover other items such as The Benefits, How To Lay Artificial Grass, The Range (this is where the products will move to) and then other items relating to the main heading "Artificial Grass".

I agree that moving users over to one main domain.com will be a huge hassle so won't look into that

Do you think that our current UAE (Dubai) domain might lose DA when the website is launched on the main.com site? At the moment the UAE is hosted on a different server and has a completely different look. We're about to finish the new UAE site (easigrass.com/ae/) and will be redirecting the UAE domain to easigrass.com/ae/

Thanks again Chris, its great to be able to chat about these things as I'm freelance!!

Hi Chris, this is a great help thank you and I do take your advice onboard.

"Also, from a user perspective I'm a little confused as to why there are locations under "Find Local Branch" and what seems to be a different set of locations under "Artificial Grass"."

The above is a great point, especially for people who don't understand our products. They are actually product names for each type of artificial grass that we offer.

I am the main decision maker and am also swaying more to the one domain with subfolders option. The only problem I see at the moment is that of the current domain names that are active. Their email addresses are easigrass.com, easigrass.dk and easigrass.ae

You can see the three above examples here;

www.easigrass.com/
www.easigrass.com/dk/
www.easigrass.com/ae/

As you can see they're all very similar and I think you still feel that you are on the same website. Again my only issue is the worry of current email addresses and redirecting the TLDs to the subdirectory.

Thanks for the good advice also on the overuse of keywords, I think I've been an eager beaver with those!!

Ok thanks. The position we are in now is this;

easigrass.com has a growing international network. They have resources all over the world as there is on the ground office locations with teams. What I do from HQ is have their local version of the company site created for them and added to a subdirectory.

So far we have UK (easigrass.com main site), Denmark (about to launch), UAE (about to launch), Netherlands (Near completion) and Ireland (Near completion).

The IT squad has already bought the domain names for each international site. The only active international site is the UAE which currently sits at www.easigrass.ae and has a DA of 19.

I'm in charge of the global presence of Easigrass and I'm trying to emulate what a great website in the USA have done - www.rotorooter.com They have a similar network of cities and they also work in Canada.

I won't be handling any of the international sites SEO, only the UK market. They will have their own team for his.

Does moving the websites to their own local server now seem more of a sensible idea now that you know this?

Thanks again.

Hi Chris, thanks for your help. I think our main goal really is to have the .com site as strong as possible, so do you think we should just redirect all international domains like .dk to their folder on the main .com site and have it show up as mycompany.com/dk/ instead of trying to show it as mycompany.dk?

The other option i guess is that we move the site from the subdirectory over to it's own hosting within that Denmark location so it can stand on it's own two feet.

Hi, we have a large international network. Our main website sits on .com domain and is used by the UK market. We have an international site in a subdirectory .com/dk/ for Denmark for example.

We have also purchased the domain name www.ourcompany.dk/.

Should we be forwarding the domain name (www.ourcompany.dk/) to point to the subdirectory www.ourcomany.com.dk/ so in the browser it shows up as www.ourcompany.dk or should we be displaying it as www.ourcompany.com/dk/?

Are there any pros and cons to this method? Which one is best and are there any benefits in SEO. Ideally we want the .com domain name to have the best domain authority so would this impact it in any way?

Any tips would be great.
