Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Mat

Oh really?

I honestly thought i had some good content. So are you saying on the section pages more and unique content and practically the same for the details page.

When you refer to having many ways to "punch above your weight" do you mean better on-page to get better rankings while hopefully getting the link building sorted out?

Thanks

Been working a lot on on-page seo and it mistifies me to observe that when i get A's constantly for search terms for on page but im not on the first 10 pages of Google compared to a competitor on page 1 with on page reports of C, D and even E!

So, a lot of hard work "on page" does not equal to a lot of hard work which is obviously link building.

my domain and page authority is only 18 and 27 whereas the main competitors are 50's and 60's.

Is "link building" or lack of it my main issue?

Here is the site http://www.govisitthelakes.com

Very new to link building

Anyone know a good place to start?

Ive been working through open site explorer and starting to get some of my competitors links.

How long to see results from link building to improve domain and page authority? or is it just "how long is a piece of string" and be patient.

Thanks

After much searching, I found this little number http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/seo-a-metadata/meta-data/5139

Just put your canonical tag in between these {tag}{/tag} and drop it in your article and it places it in the head of your page.

Bit long winded especially if you have  the amount i had but it will hopefully get me by.

Thanks both

Hi eveyone

Just got my first diagnostics report and i got 220 duplicate page titles and 217 duplicate content pages.

I know why this has happened it is because i did play about a bit and did originally have:-

www.mydomainname.com/index.php/alpha

Then i change the page path to:-

www.mydomainname.com/alpha

Then i change the page path to:-

www.mydomainname.com/category/alpha

So now when i get crawled i have 3x duplicate page titles, descriptions and page content. Even when i have put 301 redirects to my preferred domain path. Which is hurting my seo, right?

How do i stop theold domains from giving me these bad reports?

The site is on Joomla

Thanks guys
