Does Google Still support Hyphened Domains for Exact Match or not?

For Example:

www.my-key-word.com this domain is exact match for "my keyword" or not??

Ok done this via this wordpress plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-safely-disable-directory-browsing/

Thanks Alex and others.

Thanks Alex, you've understood my problem, what if I just noindex that directory in my robots.txt file? is it gonna work or not?

I've heard that a blog's has a deep relation with content keywords available in WMT, my WMT is showing top content keyword "PNG"  and it's because of images available in my posts. also the images sizes like 150x150 is also in my content keyword.

Should I noindex my images? or is there any other solution to handle this issue?

Ok! Got the answer, Simply disavow that 301 redirect. I think it will work.

I've found the way to identify that who is redirecting a bad repute domain to your's. You can simple check this out via moz pro's Backlinks checker under the option of "301 only".

Now the question is, if someone has redirected a bad domain to mine, what can I do then?

Simply file a DMCA complaint and their results from SERPS will be removed. It will not help you much if you ask them to add a credit link or something else.

Moreover, if there are just 2 to 3 scrapper sites then first ask them to remove your content from their sites, mostly wouldn't reply if they are earning much from that scrapped content. If they don't reply then file a DMCA complaint.

I think DMCA is the best option, I've seen ever.

I think nobody will link you back with a parked domain with zero content.

If you've enough time to verify each subdomain in WMT and also removing 400+ domains one by one, then you can go for solution 2. You can't remove subdomain from verified WMT account of main domain, that's why you need to verify each domain.

Adding canonical is a better option, it wouldn't remove all of the demo domains from Google's index rapidly, you have to wait for few months, but you'll be on the safe side.

Just use H1 one time, matt cutts said in a video that he would like to see only 1 H1 tag on a page.

Create content for better user experience, use headings just for your readers, and don't follow these on page tactics very much. Now everyone knows these techniques, and I don't think Google gives higher weight to these things.

Create content for readers

Use H1 as your Page's Heading(Just one time)

Use H2 where you think it's essential

I've searched your indexed pages in Google search and I don't see any tags indexed in Google. I think SEMrush's crawler doesn't count the noindex tags in the page, and it only counts the duplicate pages.

Search it in google: site:www.srgservices.com and tell me if you find any tags' pages indexed.

If you're using Wordpress SEO by yoast then simply go to its settings> Titles & Metas> under the tab of Taxanomies check the radio button of "noindex, follow". see the image:

and if you're not using it then simply add this to your robots.txt file:

Disallow: /tag/

you can use rankaware, it's free for one year. I'm using moz pro and rankaware both for checking my keywords' ranking. Also rankaware will provide you PDF report of your keywords. Use the below key and add unlimited websites in the list.
