Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Bernardo,

Under the standard Moz Pro account, you get 5 campaigns. (Each one able to connect to Google Analytics.)

Thanks,

Hello,

Here is one of my favorite pie charts! It shoes that CTR & Bounce Rate Is used to measure results, but I'm not sure if AdWords CTR & Bounce Rate is included in that.

Thanks,

Johannes,

Auto translated content does not have a negative effect on your SEO, just on user readability. Using Google Translate across your entire website will make your website hard to read in those translated languages. Take a page that is translated, and translate it back to English. It is the quickest fix yes, but more work needs to be done with the translator toolkit.

Thanks,

Hello,

I've never used them myself but they have a strong web presence. They are linked to by many strong seo websites including Moz. They also have a large and impressive customer base. They also have many positive reviews. It certainly seems like they do a great job.

Thanks,

You can add this in Adwords.

I have a 301 Redirect http://www.wheelchairparts.com to http://www.wheelchairparts.com/store/pc/home.asp

The problem is my PA and most of my Links have been lost. I thought a 301 redirected EVERYTHING?

It is 301 redirected. Why is there a loss of PA and Root Domains?

Bad idea!

It will hurt your site and theirs. It doesn't matter if your only suggesting plays and optimizing for them well. Plays and Lawyers don't add up, unless it's a blog and your recommending something.

1. Use as many options as possible

2. Think about your product names, name them so they're first word is different on every product. This should be possible.

Red Team Logo

Blue Team Logo

(Options are better but if you must, title it like that.)

3. It seems like a large task, but take the time to write descriptions differently. It gives you a chance to play around with many keywords and will be very worth it in the end.

Again options are going to be a big help to minimize duplicate descriptions, names and titles.

In Google our main website page url is <cite class="_Rm">www.wheelchairparts.com</cite> it has 25 root domain links & PA 34.

When you go to our website from there, the homepage url is http://www.wheelchairparts.com/store/pc/home.asp it only has 3 root domain links & PA 27.

Do I need to add a 301 Redirect here? What kind of redirect is on it now?

Thanks,

- Mike Bean

Pete,

You shouldn't have more than 200 links on one page. I don't see why you would need  so many duplicate links, a few yes, but 50%?

1. Side wide vs homepage - Site Wide links should only be the top level categories and information pages like About Us or Contact Us

2. Follow vs nofollow - Follow = better, nofollow = still good.

3. Anchor text and descriptive text - Company Name + Web Design

4. Alternatives or extra link opportunities - Only legit and related sites!

Andy,

I agree, I am not getting much help from our developers. All I know is these url's shouldn't be there and I can't even access them on the back end, only the one original product page.

I don't know how to remove them.

Thanks,

- Mike Bean

I know a few of these problems come from products being in the same categories but I have no idea how to get rid of the url's that are showing duplicate content when the product is in the exact same place. Hard to explain, but here are URL examples.

http://www.ocelco.com/store/pc/www.ocelco.com/store/pc/Bathtub-Floor-Corner-Stainless-Steel-Grab-Bar-Right-Hand-left-hand-pictured-688p3308.htm

http://www.ocelco.com/store/pc/Bathtub-Floor-Corner-Stainless-Steel-Grab-Bar-Right-Hand-left-hand-pictured-688p3308.htm

Any Idea's how to fix / get rid of these URL's?

Thanks!

Hello,

On top of just keywords I would highly recommend Moz Local.

If you use them you won't need to worry about location keywords. People will find you there.

Thanks,

Hello,

Could you make a nofollow link or copy url to your site?

Thanks,

Hello,

Check this article from quicksprout out.

Hello,

Make sure you have no errors in webmaster tools. Then, Link building is a MUST! Open Site Explorer will help you with that A LOT.

thanks,

- Mike Bean

A quick way to figure this out.

Copy a entire paragraph from the content in question. Paste the whole paragraph into Google search.

any close matches? Then It is duplicate.

Thanks,

- Mike Bean

Thanks!

Brooke,

Are you going to be keeping the url for your main product? If that is the case, you shouldn't have to worry about losing any juice, only waiting to gain it. Your product pages will actually gain page authority for having less products under a category. If you do redo the url's there will be a slight fall for a while, but use Webmaster Tools to manually re-index your main pages and it will be quick.

Thanks,

- Mike Bean

Jamie,

You should update your sitelinks with Google at least once a month. They know when you've re updated it. A date inside the document shouldn't make a difference.

Thanks,

- Mike Bean

Brooke,

Having a website with many similar products, I know what you're experiencing. The best move would be to have as many attributes on one page as possible. Colors, Sizes, Slightly different styles. Less products with a higher quality will also improve the shoppers experience and keep them on one page.

Thanks,

- Mike Bean

Greg,

Google taking out their keyword information is quite upsetting. Google webmaster tools however gives you a decent report of top traffic keywords to your site. And SEMrush does a good job as well. You could just pay one months worth to figure this out and pause your campaign until needed again.

Thanks,

- Mike Bean

Hello,

I would suggest looking at Google Analytics for your own pages to figure this out. There are many possible ways for people to get to your page and Analytics may show you the exact metric.

If one page is getting traffic through any source it will help it rank.

Thanks,

- Mike Bean

Hello,

I looked this up with open site explorer and it appears a lot of your linking domains look pretty spammy. One step would be to disavow those links and focus on getting better one's. (Your top few are really good links.)

Thanks,

- Mike Bean

Hello,

If the article is sponsored by you and is all about you, I would request no-follow. If it was not sponsored by you (but still by someone) and there is only a brief mention of you and a link I would keep that as a follow. At the bottom of this article from woorank it explains similar circumstances.

Thanks,

- Mike Bean

How much can this affect that specific page?

I ran a Moz on page report for our Roho Cushions page using the keyword Roho Cushions. I found "keyword stuffing" within the page, mainly from alternate text on images. The report told me I have 45 IMG ALT keywords & 28 Body Keywords. I cannot find the keywords I've used in the body, and if I inspect any image element, the keyword is not used as alternate text. I've ran this report multiple times in the past 2 weeks and have come up with the same results. Does anyone have any solutions?

Thanks!

Facebook does great with brand awareness and Twitter has been doing good directing leads & sales with coupon codes I've been putting out on it.

It seems like Facebook doesn't generate any sales and very few visitors at that, but a lot more people see our name on it compared to Twitter. And the views from Facebook should still be target market views.

All of the above.

Selling medical equipment to everyone from hospitals, nursing homes, & dealers to selling medical equipment to every individual that doesn't have insurance (at great prices) is what we do.

I've had success with some social media but I want to know where you think the biggest social media value is at specifically for a company & website like ours. (www.Ocelco.com).

Thanks!

As long as it's relevant content, it doesn't matter where it is from.

Hello,

Our web team and I have been building a e-commerce website for the past couple of months. The project is nearing its end and I was just wondering if there are any big issues on this website that jump out at anyone, besides the fact that it hasn't been submitted anywhere or there has been no link building done yet.

The website is wheelchairparts.com

All feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated!

Thanks!

That is what I thought, I was hoping it wouldn't be considered a bad thing to do though. Oh well it is still useful for customers. So making these canonical will not boost my overall website ranking in the least bit?

It Takes about 2 minutes per post. Print Screen, Crop, Use Acrobat to make the PDF, upload to site, & write a quick paragraph.

Seeing how it would be an image and google's crawlers cant crawl the text in that image does it still need to be no follow or canonical?

I run a blog and a e-commerce website. Their not connected but their about the same thing. I want to put my blog articles onto my website (just a couple not every last one) but I'm afraid of the duplicate content issues.

Can I take an image of a blog post, make it a PDF, and put it under a category of my e-commerce site which is helping users with useful content.

This sounds like a great idea that Google wouldn't be able to tell the difference, in fact Google would like it and see it as a useful document.

To me this seems to good to be true, perhaps a form of black hat.

So my question is, is it black hat? Could I ever get penalized for doing this?

I thought you were saying you used that keyword to much. If you think your using it the right amount with the link there, by all means use it.

If it was 5 or more in one subcategory section I'd say you might have to do something but any less then 5 and you should be okay as far as lowering your keyword importance.

As far as internal linking, just make sure the anchor text doesn't say the exact same thing. For an example make the anchor text be Gold, the text afterword can say personalized widgets but make the anchor text different. It doesn't have to be exactly that either.

Correct but if all the text was left the same size and everything looked the same you just make your own image that looks exactly like that paragraph it would be fine.

Making this text an image is a great idea, thank you!

I am trying to figure out if having the same paragraph on every product would be a bad thing.

I know it would be bad to have the same description on every product, but this isn't a description it is a helpful paragraph stating this:

Having trouble finding the wheelchair part you need? Please call us at 1-800-328-5343 or fill out the (Link)Wheelchair Parts Request Form(Link). One of our friendly customer service representatives will be happy to help you.

Or would it be best to just have the "wheelchair parts request form" Link on every page

Or would it be best to have neither and try putting that in a higher category making it on one page instead of every product page?

Wouldn't having sub-domains make each sub-domain rank better in serps for each individual thing. In this case construction software, IT services, & graphic design?

Each sub-domain could be built better to have more relevance for each individual category instead of having to split the "google juice" into all three.

I'm sure there is a lot of content that each domain would still have, and since it would be staying on close to the same topic, it has an opportunity to make it further in the serps.

It would be better for starting to create a "SEO Empire" This is an article I think I found off this forum, or maybe an article on SEOmoz somewhere. Anyway you can skip to about the second half of this rather long article where it says "let's begin"

http://www.bluehatseo.com/seo-empire-part-1/

Thank you,

My thoughts were close to the same, but I needed to be sure.

Thanks again!

I mean having say 5 different categories on a page and showing the products that are in those categories below the categories.

Just In case people don't want to dig deeper to find there product because they know what they need already.

I would also want those categories for the people that need to do a little more searching and have a better reference guide.

So is there any negatives to my SEO doing it that way?

I don't think anything that you would put in your footer is going to help you with conversion's (on an e-commerce site anyway). Your footer should have the same thing on every page. Logo, contact info, and other links to the different root categories of your website, and/or, like Joel has written, forms & pdf's people may need that would be hard to find when looking around your site.

That is a good idea but in this case that pretty much means redirecting every page on my website

I have researched some more effective keywords to change my root category titles to. I am wondering if it would be a bad idea to change these titles considering all the things that could go wrong. From what i'm gathering there are a LOT of things that can go wrong but at the same time these things do need to be changed sometime!

Is this a good or a bad idea & why?

What could go wrong?

Should I try changing the category titles one at a time instead of risking every one of my keywords / category titles not working out in the serps right away?
