Thanks Christina!!! Appreciate your feedback!

Thank you again Alick300!!!!

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for your follow up!

Yes all domains are the same content, aka duplicate on all domains - however we added all of the Hreflang tags and also the CcTLDs for all domains, and I know a competitor does the same as well, and have been running for around 7 years etc and seems to be working ok.

I haven't looked into canonical tags yet, but am looking into it currently?  Can you tell me what you mean by "original source" meta tags?

Hi Christina,

Yes we ran PPC and alot of them were coming from our .com domain not our co.nz obviously its a bigger country.  But it seems strange we are ranking page 1 for online psychic readings but the ctr is pretty low in nz, this is what it told me when we ran the PPC as well.  It was alot faster to get to that position for NZ obviously, but what concerns me is that we are not ranking anywhere in google for our .com site.

I have set up the right tags etc for CcTLDs and Hreflang tags etc we try to make content as relevant to those areas as possible but in most cases it is near impossible.

But for the .com it seems quiet strange, do you have any thought around this?

Thanks Tom for the heads up, I will read into more of the cannibalization link you sent me!

Thanks Rick, you are so helpful! I have responded to Christina as per what you suggested as well - let me know what your thoughts are around my new title tag if that is okay?

Many thanks for your contributions as well!

Thank you so much Christina!!! The more the better

I'm currently using in my home page title tag:

Psychic Advice Online - Phone and Chat - Zenory, but my clients don't search for "psychic advice online" its rare, they search for "online psychic readings, or psychic readings, chat psychic readings and phone psychic readings" so I was wanting to change my title tag to

"Online Psychic Readings via Phone and Chat - Zenory" My competitors also have something like

(Free Psychic Readings Online - Live Psychic Chat - Phone Readings - Company Name)

or (Company Name - Online Psychic Readings, Tarot, Astrology, love Advice)

What are you thought around this? I see a few of my competitors tend to write longer title tags as well

Hi Rick

Thanks for your comments and feedback!

Just a quick question, how would you go about finding or coming up with well optimized titles? What should I be looking for?

I have looked into title tags my competitors are currently using, and they seem to put alot of keywords in there.

Cheers

Hi Guys

QUESTION: I'm currently going through a re-design for my new website that was published in November 2014 - since launching we found there were many things we needed to change, our pages were content thin being one of the biggest. I had industry experts that came in and made comments on the title tags lacking relevance for eg: our title tag for our home page is currently "Psychic Advice" most ideal customers don't search "Psychic Advice" they search more like "Online Psychic Reading" or Psychic Readings" I noticed alot of my competitors also were using title tags such as Online Psychic Readings, Free Psychic Readings etc so it brings me to my question of "changing the title tags around.  The issue is, im ranking for two keywords in my industry, online psychics and online psychic readings in NZ.

1. Our home page and category pages are content thin.... so hoping that adding the changes will create perhaps some consistency also with the added unique and quality content.

Here is the current website: zenory. co.nz and the new one is www.ew-zenory.herokuapp.com which is currently in development

I have 3 top level domains com,com.au, and co.nz

Is there anyone that can give me an idea if I were to change my home page title tag to

**ZENORY | Online Psychic Readings | Live Psychic Phone and Chat **

If this will push my rankings down though this page will have alot more valuable content etc?  For obvious reasons im going to guess it will make drop, I'm wondering though if it is worth changing the title tags and meta descriptions around or leaving it as is if its already doing well?

How much of a difference do title tags and meta descriptions really make?

Any insight into this would be great!

Thanks

Hi MindlessWizard,

Thanks so much for your help! Yes, I contact the company myseotools who i use, and they said the results they feed from come via ahrefs, who are displaying these results incorrectly, in the meantime I had already contacted the web master to remove my link, so its good to know that I went ahead and did the right thing.

My question would be how long does it usually take for a company to refresh the results?

Hi Lewis

Thanks for that! This was also confusing as I checked moz and it was saying I only had 2 backlinks, which I couldn't make any sense of, so I sent the web master at the directory that were sending me all the links, works out it was because I was categorised in all regional categories which ended up in being over 900 categories, to which were all linking back to me... This is in the same industry as well, so when i checked the site pointing to me had good authority as well.

Thanks Alick, seriously you have been so helpful!

Any idea on how I can go about using this disavow tool? I have heard about it but not sure how I go about applying it in the real SEO world lol

Hi Alick300

I tried using ahrefs but I don't have an account with them.  It does look like there are alot, would you recommend that I contact the owner to delist from the directory?

Hi Alick300

Yes I checked GWT i don't see anything thats come through from them yet?

When I check the myseotools for where the links where coming from, it looks like they are from a directory that i submitted my listing to under each region category that seems to be returning a link per region.

Hi Guys

I'm a newbie and just started my website, im wondering if im reading this correctly, i use a tool called my seo tools and its telling me my website zenory.co.nz has over 1600 backlinks, this is scary since the site is only 5months old and i didn't see this till at least today and i check my sites backlinks on a regular basis.  However when I check with moz it says I only have 2? I'm a little confused.  Any advice here?

Much appreciated

Thanks
