I would go for landing page for each preferred keyword. We have run this experiment for few clients and it works really well. I urge you to have landing page for each top keyword and sue various variation of keyword to promote your page.
Note: Make sure your landing page experience should not be different than the main site. As this will play an imperative role init.

RE: Is link exchanging ok in 2015
Are you doing a link exchange to boost Pagerank? - Bad idea
Are you doing a link exchange because the traffic is likely to convert - Good idea
Are you doing a link exchange to boost your rankings - Bad idea
Are you doing a link exchange because it provides a relevant resource useful to your audience - Good idea
Most people that do link exchanges are using an outdated seo mentality from 10 years ago. They can't accept that things have changed and will continue to change. Links are still valuable (just look at how much referral traffic comes through relevant links) but Google is no longer a simple formula that is easy to trick. You need to be careful and make smarter business decisions. Not every link is a smart link but there still are many good opportunities.

RE: I have made my new website live. But while checking in Google it is not showing in search result ( site: www.oomfr.com ). Can anybody please advice.
In addition to to above i would suggest you to make sure your robot.txt file does not have home or index page as that could be the other reason that Search engines do not index the site.

RE: How to add Canonical Tags on Opencart Products
I suggerst you to adopt the following :
The best way to achieve this is to modify your Document class, set your canonical in your controller, then render it in the header controller.
Edit system/library/document.php
add:
private $canonical;
to your class variables up top.Then add the following methods:
<code>publicfunction setCanonical($url){ $this->canonical = $url;}publicfunction getCanonical(){return $this->canonical;}</code>
In your header controller add:
$this->data['canonical'] = $this->document->getCanonical();
Then you can set your canonical dynamically in the header controller:
<code>if(isset($this->request->get['_route_'])): $canonical_route = $this->request->get['_route_'];else: $canonical_route =''; endif; $this->document->setCanonical($this->data['base']. $canonical_route);</code>
Or you can set it manually in your controllers using the setCanonical method.

RE: Best Methods and Tools for Monitoring your Website's Backlinks
Hi
I would go for Ahrefs and Majsitc site Explorer along with Google Webmaster.
In my opinion, use of these would give you a snopysis of new and exsiting backlinks for your site. You can also try MOZ site explorer tool. However, this is relatively new and has less data than the other two.

RE: Custom HTML or WordPress, it's Time to Decide
Wordpress is a powerful piece of software that allows people with minimal knowledge of web design set up a web site fairly quickly. And for personal use it is unsurpassed. However, for business use you have to question whether it is a good choice to use software that is regularly hacked, offers slow performance and requires continual technical attention.
Remember that you are at the whim of other developers, not just for Wordpress itself but for each theme and plugin, who have no relationship with you, and certainly no obligation to you. You rely on them to write secure and professional code, when most of them write it as a hobby.
That’s before you consider that you will be forced to make compromises with the design and operation of the site. Your business is unique and your website should reflect that.
Unless the budget is exceptionally tight, it is often better to get a website developed properly at the start. A website is often the first (and potentially the last) thing people will see about your business. It’s therefore important, and more efficient in the long run to get it right first time!
I suggest you to read the following article it may help you to understand batter which one is batter for you.
My preferrence would be custom solution.

RE: Changing domain from .net to .se
Hi
Here are few points, I beleive you must have in your mind before you take such action:
- Create a sitemap of your new site, building a hierarchical list of all your site pages (including images, videos and other assets)
- Compile a full list of all the URLs on the current site. This can be done by either crawling the site, extracting from the CMS or exporting URLs receiving traffic from Analytics
- Make sure you have a list of the URLs you’re using in PPC campaigns. Failing to set up redirects on these URLs will result in sending users to broken links and trash your Quality Score
- Compile a list of all the URLs planned for the new site
- Map each individual URL from the current site to new site URLs individually, to be implemented with 301 redirects
- Benchmark the current website’s rankings to measure progress throughout the migration. 20 or 30 keywords is not enough – use several hundred as a bare minimum
- Benchmark organic traffic levels (including visits, bounce rates, conversions) per page on the current website
- Prepare paid ads for keywords that the site ranks well organically for to put live if you run into issues after the site is launched
- Identify the most authoritative links in the site’s backlink profile to be switched to the new URLs once the new website is live
- Register and configure the new domain in Google Search Console (formerly Webmaster Tools)
- Generate an XML Sitemap for the new domain

RE: Any second opinions as to why our organic search website traffic hasn't recovered from website rebrand (domain change, website redesign)?
In my opinion drop could be due to many reason, Its hard to tell without having look into Search Console and Analytics of your account however based on what we see regularly, majorly what you need to check whether you have received any Google penalty on old site in the past. Is your all valuable pages from old site redirecting to the new pages. Are your users having good and smooth journey.
Are you conducting any off page activity?It would be handy if you can leave URL of your site.

You can also buy leads from companies those sell leads buying a traffic may not a good idea.

RE: How to identify spammy website before making backlinks on them
Hi I would say to check few things if you're not sure is the site is spam or not. Mostly, the site impression, feel and looks say it as soon as you land on any site. However, there are possiblity you still remain unsure. I personally use the Google Chrome Plugin to see if the hostname are not suspicious or some wired name. I have MOZ bar plugin again to give domain overview, it also provide me DA and PA, which helps me to understand overall where is that domain stand.
Off course, these all primary elements helps to determin the site we are going to post content or aiming to get back link is not going to harm us anyway.

RE: Naked domain redirection info
The naked domain gives an extra room for your permalink to be more visible on SERPs thus making some extra keywords visible instead of being chopped off. So it has an SEO benefit for people who are habitual with creating long-tailed keywords inside permalinks.
If you think shorter is better, then the non-WWW approach will make you feel better. There are apparently no “technical” benefits to using the non-WWW approach, only that it reduces redundancy and is no longer needed. To be practical, it makes no drastic change whether to use a naked domain or domain with www as the sub-domain. A domain which is hosted at the root directory like www, is better remembered by people as a brand. People are habitual to recognizing websites with www extension and are observed browsing sites in address bar using the www extension most frequently.
The following advanatages you may get from it-
Ability to restrict cookies when using multiple subdomains.
-
Using the WWW hostname allows for easy segregation in the file tructure of your website.
-
More flexibility with DNS.
However, my preferrence is always to use WWW

RE: How is it possible that our page outperforms our competitors by all factors yet we are #5 on google search and they are #1, #2 and #3?
Hi
Like Thomas mentioned there are many factor, which play their vital role to relation to rank. However, at this stage in my opinion CTR could be the most important and thereafter UX on the landing page. I suggest you to run CTR and bounce rate analysis on the said page. Moreover, analyse your competitor 3 pages and try to find out what sort of information they are providing and what could be the possible reason there are ranking well.
I hope this will bring you great opportunity to focus on your page ranking quality. -

RE: Domain Authority
It is due to latest Mozscape index on 22nd of June, this has result in drop in DA and PA. I also believe the index include fewer links or url which leads to this drop.it is likely, you've built additional quality/relevant links as you have mentioned, but with the smaller Index these new links, and even previously indexed links, are not being picked up. Therefore, less links are being used to calculate your domain authority score. I would say the drop in your Domain Authority is due to the size of the index.

RE: Sitemap
Submitted pages are those pages we've submitted to Google from the Sitemap on your website. Indexed pages are those pages Google finds by spidering or crawling your website naturally. It is not uncommon for your Indexed pages to be lower than your Submitted pages. Yes, ideally want your Indexed pages to be just as much as the Submittedpages. The tricky part is knowing which pages are not indexed!
However, there are things you can do to improve these Indexed pages, namely:
- Getting more websites to link to the pages in your website.
- Adding unique content to all the pages in your site and modifying the all important SEO tags.

RE: Redirect domain or keep separate domains in each country?
I do agree with Patrick,
This always seems to come up in conversations and I try to sway people against this method.
Sure it may work on a small scale, and I have tried this method myself. But the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.
One final (and big) point to that I would like to reiterate. If you really intend to own and run multiple domains and get these sites to show up in the search results, you will have to double your SEO work”… Another good point. Simply ranking on a keyword really does no good when you can do the same on your own site with minimal effort.

RE: Will it upset Google if I aggregate product page reviews up into a product category page?

RE: Best way to change URL for already ranking pages
Hi
I don’t think this will affect your ranking, I am sure you are familiar with the process.No matter what, changing your domain name will affect your search engine rankings, largely because each search engine responds differently to such changes, but you can substantially limit the damage done. Google has taken the lead as usual in dealing with URLs that change and will quickly index the new file with virtually no interruption if you follow some fairly straightforward procedures. AllTheWeb quickly followed suit. Unfortunately, the procedures described below do not work in the same way on the other major search engines.
The critical element in successful url redirecting or domain forwarding is taking the time to make sure that ALL links to your old page from directories and other websites are updated. That step must be done. Unfortunately, it is the most difficult step, as many links may be on sites that are neglected or even abandoned.
Google has published guidelines on changing your URLs. See, Google Information for Webmasters : "Once your new site is live, you may wish to place a permanent redirect (using a '301' code in HTTP headers) on your old site to inform visitors and search engines that your site has moved."
hope this helps ..:) -

RE: Domain Name Change-Negative Ranking Effect?
Well, in my views yes you will get benefit out of this change. I would suggest you to run a backlink audit of your old site and make disallow list of all toxic links. Disallow all those and put a 301 redirect as soon as you can.
Another tip, when you do it, try to change your onsite content. This will add up another plus point for your site.
I checked your site, its look amzing i think you will not only retain but will get good result. Moreover, you second domain has more branded power than the current one along with age of the domain.
So Good luck with your change.

RE: I have mainly very short customer review comments. Shall I only publish longer ones?
Yes, you're right but when you say short are they just based on few words. I am sure Google would also consider the proporation of each side thin and the details ones.
If most of reviews are just few words, off course you dont want to publish them before even it reach to google not only for Google but for your impression. As these mostly be consider as self created reviews.
I would say be a selective in this regards. Mixture can work -
RE: Link juice through URL parameters
Shockingly, when asked point blank if affiliate programs that employed juice-passing links (those not using nofollow) were against guidelines or if they would be discounted, the engineers all agreed with the position taken by Sean Suchter of Yahoo!. He said, in no uncertain terms, that if affiliate links came from valuable, relevant, trust-worthy sources - bloggers endorsing a product, affiliates of high quality, etc. - they would be counted in link algorithms. Aaron from Google and Nathan from Microsoft both agreed that good affiliate links would be counted by their engines and that it was not necessary to mark these with a nofollow or other method of blocking link value.
But note the point they had not mentioned what will they do with low quality links.
From the above points it clear that Google will passes a link juice. But still many of us in affiliate industry uses a parameters and redirects in affiliate urls. Reason is just simple not all the affiliate are as genuine or reputed as Amazon. So if your links in 50 sites and may be 40 site can be those which Google does not like so links from those site may harm your site.
So as I said above its always good to save website's image while leaving some link juice.
