Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

In my opinion you can treat is using KISS - keep it simply stupid. When you ask somebody on a street what does lcd.jsp mean you can't get a correct answer but if you ask about 'lcd" many people will tell you correct answer.

Think robots are created as we are... and now is a big trend to use "friendly links".

so  www.example.com/tv/lcd is correct and more accurate.

and follow this rule you can build link pyramid:

www.example.com/tv

www.example.com/tv/lcd

www.example.com/tv/lcd/sony

www.example.com/tv/lcd/sony/model-xxx

and so on, it creates very good link structure

I've noticed that you have blog but not in the website on different URL. It doesn't help the website.

Other thing - small amount of backlinks (~50), a lot of internal links are nofollow, why?

Content - poor keyword consistency, long page titles. Does titles including keyword? (it is in Spanish or Portuguese so I cant't tell)

Alan and Egol are right. You need content, content with keywords and photos. Read about alt tags and keyword positions in articles.

And what I can add - you need blog on your page not outside. Use pagination for your blog it is too long.

And last but not least BACKLINKS good trusty&juicy links to your site

Good Luck

Hi Ryan,

Is your tags and categories are unique? I mean unique queries ... different content. You have to use tags carefully, differentiate them in posts.

Usually such a situation take place when the same tags are using for many posts and a tag query is the same. Also you should create good structure of a categories and draw attention to categories and tags were not identical. Good strategy is to build a category tree and good tag structure.

Category -  series of articles on the same topic/subject

Tag - unique connection, relational table, describes or defines some aspect of an information

Example.

Categories (New York Times):

- News

- - World

- - U.S.

- - POLITICS ...

etc.

Tags are usually use in searches or tag cloud:

Barack Obama, Apple, Natural Gas ... etc

It is pretty easy in WP blog in Posts menu. remember to write a description for each tag and category.

If you can't do it now to not lost earlier SEO work you can still use a solution described by Shane answer.

Good luck,

Marek

I have many examples of such a situation. In my work I won with Nikon Academy (akademianikona.pl) - site supported by Nikon with huge number of links and better statistics.

Refresh you content.

I agree with EGOL and Gordon. What I want to add ... think that internal consistency of the site is very important. Good content structure (H -tags, content with keywords) - title - description - url should be the first elements of the subjects of your mind.

Also very important is competitors tracking. What do they have that you do not have? Maybe they follow  some (local ... global) trends? Social impact is another area to check - do you have many G+1, FB shares, votes etc...

Check technical issues like page load speed and other

And last but not least - what is their domain name - is it better that yours?

some other ideas to improvement (simple report) link

Good luck Rik

Hello,

did you check what kind of searches is result from GKT? Global or local. In Google WT only the local searches are presented - just check it first

Agree with Nicholas, you should build local position.

But position is nat a key to success - it is a halve way to business success

In my opinion you also should work on in site SEO, clean a little bit in the homepage (from marketing and usability point of view), decide what is your main keyword you want to fight - one for page and employ it in every element of a page (title, description, alt's, in-page text etc...). Below few notices I found.

Your server IP (173.247.244.100 biz100.inmotionhosting.com - SANTA MONICA) is listed in SORBS-SPAM - http://www.sorbs.net/ - but I think it is not a big deal.

• in your logo you have slogan but it is an image not text! with alt="insert_logo"

• shorter title, good meta description - longer than you have- 140 - 150 characters, for homepage

• in image alt's you use descriptions with lots of keywords e.g. "alt="lady laying on a carpet cleaning Atascadero, carpet cleaner Atascadero, carpet cleaning 93422, carpet cleaner 93422" it can be perceive as spam

and alt="Carpet Cleaning", next href="Tile_and_Grout.html" alt="Tile_and_Grout" - with underscore

- Avoid Keyword Stuffing in DocumentEasy fix Occurrences of Keyword22  ... .Recommendation Remove instances of the targeted keyword(s) from the document text of this page to bring it below 15 - **this is a text from SEOMOZ On-Page report - **

• Clean in the homepage - a lot of content but feel like repeated several times the same communicate:

Offfering the Very Best Carpet Cleaning...

The Most thorough carpet cleanig...  etc... less keywords, more helpful texts for clients, think about arrangement of a photos and consistent style.

Use simple and understanding sentences, without unnatural forms, remember good marketing is not closed in the word "BEST" "Very BEST" etc... I usually avoid companies with such a communication.

Be natural and successful

Good luck

[edit]

and one more idea for marketing, use before - after show "Carpet before cleaning and after cleaning" clients like to know how it works - employ j-querry plugin e.g. http://test.wpworks.net/wpw_ba_j/

Sometimes it is been hard to understand but never give up

you still using meta-keywords ... they can only help the competition not google position.

meta - description tags are all the same for different pages.

If yes it can be a main reason. You have to diversify descriptions and they have to be consistent with title and page content.

e.g. for  <title></span></span><span style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span><span> </span>Buy LED lighting at the best price.</span></span><span style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span></title>

in description use: name="Description" content="LED lighting is the latest craze. ..... an so on about LED up to 140 characters">

It is because in AdWords KT Google estimates potential on global and local market.

In webmaster tools, when localization is not specified  google collect data in a specific way, can say it's a measure of a propagation of particular site (written in e.g. english) in many local markets which are use that language.

Result is neither global nor local. Result is specific for particular site, language and many other factors responsible for spreading a content in many places. Please that it is correct for assumption that localization of a site is not set.

In other cases local results from GKT and local from GWT are comparable.

Hope my explanation clarified your doubts

Hi,

I think that it's better to use event tracking than virtual page-view tracking.

Syntax and parameters explanation

_trackEvent(category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction)'```
[]);">Download](#)

where: 

-category (required) -  e.g. Maps  (The name you supply for the group of objects you want to track.)

 - action (required) -  e.g. Download (A string that is uniquely paired with each category, and commonly used to define the type of user interaction for the web object.)

- label (optional)  - e.g. EuropeMap or filename map.pdf  (An optional string to provide additional dimensions to the event data.)

- value (optional) -  An integer that you can use to provide numerical data about the user event.  It is very complicated to quick explanation and usage, you should read full article and additions like: Implicit Count. 

- non-interaction (optional) - set it for "true" (A boolean that when set to `true`, indicates that the event hit will not be used in bounce-rate calculation.) 

In this link you  can read full google help article: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/eventTrackerGuide.html

In your case syntax will be: [](http://www.example.com/files/map.pdf)

 [Then go to analytics to "Content" section  of the reports and view Event Tracking an you will have:

category: PDF

Action: Download

label: MyMap

and count .... count how many events you have

Wish you a huge number of downloads.

Hi,

agree 100% with Kane it is also recommended by google for localizations

www.domain.com

www.domain.com/us

www.domain.com/pl

etc...

It increases domain authority and this is what everyone site owner wants

Hi,

As I know there's no solution for Analytics. It is better to have separate account for every client.

For AdWords you can connect it in one in My Client Center

Adwords and analytics linking  is described in google help

Good Luck

Hi,

Just add the goal for 'Thank You' page visit Google Article or add a event tracking code Article and article

Good luck

Hi,

As I see your product short description is the not the same as meta description tag. Meta description is creating from "Product description" (product page).

For meta description rule is 140 characters not more than 160 - 170.

Usually people don't read a lot (sometimes nothing) they browse. So for your short description you should use general marketing rule - short, product features do not sell, values for the client are good for sells.

In my opinion your short description on http://www.theprinterdepo.com/canon-imageclass-lbp6000-new-discount-inside is good. Maybe you can modify a little bit e.g.:

"The best for any small business or home office user looking for quality laser output. Very quick first print and next 19 pages per minute! Excellent quality, easy to use, cheap exploitation."

Hi Rasmus,

User-agent: *
Disallow:

means that all robots can enter the site

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

block all robots to enter.

User-agent: WebCrawler
Disallow:

block WebCrawler robot, but other can enter

Always first line of robots.txt tells what robots can crawl a site and  * means all. Second and next lines are pointing specific catalogues on a server e.g. Disallow: /admin/

So I think that is not a robots.txt issue - please ensure me

We had first very visible activity of Panda in Poland on Jan, 31, 2012. For best price comparisons portals went down to nowhere. That was because of usage link exchange system on a huge scale. Google in official communicate promised to put off the filter after they change SEO policy but now they still outside the rankings.

Now on the top are shops and other valuable sites. So will see maybe they improve again

Hi,

I think you all right but ... I have tried many WP templates and can say that some of them works better then other in SEO. There is no straight recipe to choose good one, having in mind other than SEO features or design.

CMC-SD wrote about Yoast experience with SP themes ... I also don't trust.

Don't use templates with build-in SEO module, I haven't met even one good. Choose good design, useful features, check code validation (W3C) and test & try and so on...

Large selection of WP templates you can find on Themeforest ... but some of them are good - some not.

Hi,

ad. 1it's part of url - address of file you have on serwer (to download) obviously it's example you can named it different

Hi you can use On-Page Analysis Report to optimize your pages for particular keyword (page by page) or wait few weeks when robots do this inside your campaign.

Hi Joel,

In my opinion CSS is "The Best". Simple, easy usage, easy changes, very good speed of page load ... etc...

As I red on many forums on the internet  JQuery and JS are are available for robots, so there are no contraindications to employ them.

But

CSS  - better code/text ratio (no long scripts in page code)

CSS - simple usage and changes (CSS3, HTML5)

CSS - faster loading (only simple text and html)

In my opinion, now when we have HTML5 and CSS3 there is no better way - it's innovative and simple solution,

Marek

I doesn't. It does you a number of views, because there's a lot different solutions in internet browsers and plugins and user can even view it in Google docs viewer. But for many purposes it is sufficient to know that user view a document.

You can implement dedicated java script tool to know the number of downloads. Probably the code mentioned by nvs.nim (below) realizes such an action.

Good luck

Hello again,

They are the same.

And I assume that interpretation is the same because default state is:

**<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="ALL">  **that means index, follow

and you can decompose every tag to parts:

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX">

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="FOLLOW">

and that tells robot to noindex, but do follow is default so if you don't use this tag robot will follow anyway.

Marek:-)

http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2007/03/using-robots-meta-tag.html

I think it depends on the type of content. Natural order - that from books, newspapers etc.. is from main title to subtitle, and in my opinion it is a best solution and natural direction of crawling a site. Good example are product sheets e.g. Canon Germany site  Canon Eos 1D X.

You can check it using seoMOZ On-Page Report Card, it gives you feedback about content arrangement and structure.

If you have specific content like adds you can use different structure on purpose.

hi,

In my case indexation took around 2 months after my manual submission to bing index. It was a long time of nothing and one day blow up almost all pages in bing index and on very good positions.

Maybe it only need time.

Hi Marisa,

I'm using /%postname% and in my opinion it is a best structure ... but ... in that kind of structure is important to care about slug and to prevent creation of duplicated titles.

/the-best-solution  is a good slug

//the-best-solution-2  is not a good slug

I don't have duplicated pages cos WordPress has mechanism which check the slug in real time when you creating a post.

I think that  /%postname% is the most friendly link structure.

Hi,

in my opinion you should 'no index' sites with high bounce rate compare to short time of visit (less than 10 sek). It's true or real bounce rate - visitor spent less than 10 sek on the one site and then left website.

Also good idea is no index or even delete posts with 'heavy' content with long time of page load ... as I think flash galleries could be heavy.  Page loading time (long) could also increase bounce rate.

So you have a choice to have 600 posts or ... maybe 100 good posts ... good content vs average or poor content.

Answer is simple

Marek

Hi again,

Cesar I think your problem is not different order of keywords but duplicated content. If you have two websites with the same content it can be a problem and it was probably the reason of Panda influence on your website.

let me understand, do you have: http://www.example.com and http://example.com  with the same content?

more: http://www.seomoz.org/pages/search_results?q=duplicated+content

http://www.seomoz.org/pages/search_results?q=www+or+non+www

In my opinion you should choose better site (www or non-www) by checking a value in OSE and finally do a 301 redirection of lower ranked to higher ranked and do the same in GWT ...that  means choose higher ranked as your primary.

Marek

hello,

Try SEO Ultimate - for me is the best. Many useful features.

Marek

Hi Lisa,

Yes it does

Marek

If you think about white you should consider find on the ...internet... trust rank profiles and site catalogues (using e.g. MozBar and other tools) and follow the rule quoted by Mike ...

Sometimes less =  better,  smaller number of trusted profiles means pretty good juice for your site

Hi Karl,

Here you can find Linkscape update schedule.

What are your links? Are they links from trust and well ranked sites? or deep and from poor quality sites?

All the best.

Hello,

Few directions

1. IP Canonicalization - not present

2. Social impact ... really low (only 4 G+1)

3. Your position (6th in google.com) for keyword "expedite us passport" is for the page http://www.passportsandvisas.com/passport/index.asp

4. Many of good places are images not text containing keyword (H1, H2 ...), like "Looking For US Passport .... - image

bullet list below ... image, In my opinion it is a best place for main slogan in H1.

5. keyword stuffing in meta description "Expedite US passport and travel visa service : Expedited US passports ( new , renewal, lost, child ) : Nationwide Service" ... it is not a description ... it is stream of keywords

Other (low impact on SEO) but also important:

No mobile css ... but it has low impact

Increase Text/HTML ratio

delete keywords tag (

no language description

no microformats, Geo Meta Tags ... etc

no feed

You can spy competition:

http://visahq.com - best one and others http://us-passport-service-guide.com, http://itseasy.com, http://travisa.com, http://abriggs.com, http://passportvisasexpress.com

and check what they have especially http://visahq.com

And also ask the question who is your client? (http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/passportsandvisas.com#)

female 45 - 54, connecting from work ... Whether a website is attractive to customers?

Marek

Hi Diane,

from Wiki: 'Semantic HTML is the use of HTML markup to reinforce the semantics, or meaning, of the information in webpages rather than merely to define its presentation (look)..." full document link

Semantic in shortest way does mean structured. Structured from article (and/or text) point of view. ... from other Wiki article "The Semantic Web, as originally envisioned, is a system that enables machines to "understand" and respond to complex human requests based on their..." link

The simplest example of semantic markup are H tags (H1, H2 ... H6), other ... bullets

Non semantic tags are e.g.

• they are semantically neutral ...

Since late 90' semantic markup (and web) are strongly supported by CSS which is responsible for presentation (look) of the web.

So ... summarizing everything what is an element of structured document is semantic markup and everything what is neutral for document structure is non-semantic.

I think it will help you
