Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I used to think when doing SEO that personal life and business life would be two separate things. But after delving into the culture and shortly after joining SEOMOZ I had a total perspective change. Rand often talks about networking and being social with others members of the SEO field, and that a lot of his work was accomplished by people he knew, and connections he made on a personal level that allowed his business life to grow. All of my personal social media profiles are also my business profiles. The other day I had someone browse SEOMoz, recognized my username and one the websites I work on and out of the blue just gave me some free links to his sight just to be nice. You have to keep them together for them to be effective.

I have the same exact problem and I could not find a way to prevent them from being crawled so I came to a path with 2 decisions, attempt to redirect or fix these pages, or document them and ignore the warnings. I chose the 2 path just because it made more sense.

It takes one full week.

Or you could put out something along the lines of, sign up and be entered for a chance to win a football package. You would be surprised how many sports fans would sign up, plus you would have a large amount of E-mails coming in. You have to be creative with it, follow the words of Rand, be a thought leader!

Flawless roundhouse kick good sir.

Hello Friend!

I thought about it being a technical issue however I ran through some orders myself and found it pretty basic with little comprehension of technology necessary. I do appreciate the insight about the brands being faceless as well as our promises to the customers.

Hello Friend and thanks for the input, it is more of a gut feeling however the analytics don't show a high bounce rate, where people are hitting the site and then leaving. they are staying there looking around then they leave. I didn't think about the shipping aspect of that being a key feature. The service of setting up the product is only offered locally by the company that I work for. I'll have to think about that aspect, I appreciate the insight.

Hello Friends, thank you for helping in advance.

My website http://www.FrontlineMobility.com gets a lot of traffic and with our Google Adwords campaigns we have very good click through rates(percentages from 1 percent to 4 percent). So I know that I am getting people to my site, but I can't get them to spend money. It seems like they get there ready to buy, but something turns them away at the last moment. My Partner feels like we should put more pictures of people on the site so that people feel like there is a face to our company. I am also in agreement with this, but I would also like to know if anything else is wrong with our site that perhaps maybe another set of eyes could perceive. Thank you again Moz friends.

Is that what you are speaking of? It was an old post on the Blogs here. Hope it helps ^.^

Let's say I were to start a company.  Of course, I want to be indexed, crawled, and pulled up in the search engines.  So I start using black hat seo techniques.  I comment spam, keyword stuff, spin articles, hide text, etc.  I publish hundreds of articles per day on well know sites with excellent page rank.  If I am doing all of these unethical techniques, what is going to happen to my website?

I tried multiple configurations of what you said with replacing ##caturl## but I think I botched it in the end, if you could help me a bit more.

So our website (www.FrontlineMobility.com) Has a canonical link redirect to the non www. version. However when I put in website.com it comes up with a small list of links and says this site links to www.website.com. So I'm curious if I used to wrong canonical linking method( that is the method I tried and I placed it in the Head Tags.) I greatly appreciate any assistance in this matter ^.^

Thank you so much for the feedback.

The problem with the whole Brand thing is this: we are a distributor of many different brands, and we do not have our own except for the company name itself.  (I hope this makes sense).  I don't think we have thought as far ahead as to whether we want to "have more brand" in the future.  Thank you for the quick response and the info.  We pretty much have the correct setup you have mentioned with the keywords we have chosen to optimize.  Thank you, once again.

First of all, I would like to provide some background information. Our company is small. We are just now getting into SEO research and have been improving over a couple months of research. We are somewhere in the 500,000's in the world rankings. From what I understand, the title tag provides a great amount of weight to whatever keywords you set up. The words in the title tag are supposed to represent keywords that you want to be high in the search engines for, correct? Well, in our title tag, we have the name of our company. To me, this is a waste of space. No one is going to go to Google and search for our company's name because we are not that widely known. Looking back at our search history for customers, there has not been a single search for the company name. What someone is telling me, is that when we put our link somewhere, having the name of our company in the title tag strengthens the "link juice" we get from those links. Is this correct, or is it worth trashing the company name for another keyword to optimize?

Why not just add anchor text to your works so that you are farming links without work?

I was afraid it would be in the technical area instead of a magical button solving my problems. I'm not exactly sure how I am doing the redirect, however I do believe it is ASP so I will give it a try. Thanks for the Answer!

Hello Friends! Thanks for viewing my question. Ok,My question today is How do I go about redirecting a 302 link to a 301 link. I understand the benefits of doing this as far as link juice and how the Search Engines views the two Re-Directs. I am wanting to know where I would start to do this. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions!

Place that code in between the head tags for all of the specific categories to implement a Canonical link ^.^ Hope it helps!

Thanks for the coding, I still have a part left hanging at least maybe in my own mind it is. How does that strip of code reference the correct pages together? Does it just see there are duplicate pages and bundle them for the Search Engine? or do I have to place other codes in my site to target those pages?

On my Website, I am the only SEO optimizer wizard person. I have to teach myself everything and I get overwhelmed a lot. I recently started using SEOMOZ and on my report it stated we had duplicate page titles and that it was bad and should be fixed quickly. So I did my research and found that I needed to use canonical links to reference one page to be indexed. However my problem lies in exactly how to add this coding to my site. I greatly appreciate any help or at least looking at this question.

Thanks mate, I have been searching for a couple days on how to fix that warning.
