Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Most crawlers that I've used has not recognised the H1 tag wrapped in Alt text used on one of our sites. Once we have used the normal H1 tag we have seen a good increase in one of the keywords we have tried to rank for a while.

I could be wrong here but I don't really agree with Theo as (and you can test for yourself) that Bing and Yahoo will index you and will look at your meta keywords. Google will NOT and will ignore your keywords as Matt Cutts has indicated, having said that I will still put moderate keywords based on my overall site and page theme.

I have done a simple test by adding a misspelled keyword and within a week I did really well on both Yahoo and Bing and when I removed the keyword my rank has disappeared.

Now to answer your question in full I would put the following:

Cartoon Character, Cartoon Character on TV, Television Cartoon Character etc

Try not to put Cartoon Character at the beginning of the keyword put should have a variation.

Hi Jesse,

I have tried the application but in truth it was giving me keywords that are completely not relevant to the original keyword that I put in the search box. As I am based in the UK, the application was only showing US and Canada which are not used to me in person, I couldn't even scroll beyond the 6th result.

I dont mind testing this further and provide you with better feedback, let me know....

All the best

I never really bothered to check any other metric up untill I came to this forum. Our keyword ranking has dropped slightly in the past few months but we don't really depend much on site traffic to generate income as the business already has regular feed of businesses using our services.

Thanks for that, we are about to introduce a blog into the site, but was a bit unsure of our existing content which for some is by now is out of date...

We have a site which was de-moted from PR4 to PR3 with the latest Google update. We have not done any SEO for a long time for the site and the content is the same with over 100 page.

My question is, in order to update the site, which is the best to do it, do we:

1. re-introduced new content to replace old once

2. re-write old content

3. Add new pages

Many thanks in advance.

There are few safe ways you can re-direct your domain from non-www to www, they include:

• having a small code in your .htaccess if you are running linux

• in your header, you can specify where to redirect your site

We need to know the sort of platform your site is running on i.e. Windows; Linux as well as the platform or scripting language you are using i.e. asp; .NET or php

Also make sure in your webmaster tools to allow Google to know which one to use, so in your webmaster tools specify you want to use the www or non-www

Hope this helps, if you need more advice or help let me know

Reflecting back to some of the sites that I've done SEO for, the reason is the following:

• Your competitor's URL must be few year old

• Had or still have good original content on the site, regardless of duplication

• Look at the source code of the domain in question, you are most likley to find the site had old style coding (strange but true).

What ecommerce platform are you using, is it an open soruce i.e. magento ; oscommerce or is it bespoke ecommerce platform

According to my own experience with affiliates and feeds, Google does not like duplicate content and will identify original content, so if you produced original content make sure Google crawls your site fist before you send it to your affiliates, in terms of automated feeds from your site, Google will identify this and credit you with the hard work.

Not sure what others think but this from my own expeience the last few years....

I can see Augusto's point, as a new user myself I still to discover what SEOMOz has to offer!!!!

I need to stress the fact that using keyword ranking tools that are not up to Search Engine Algorithms will do you more harm than good, in Googles own terms they specifically said that they do not like anyone using such automated tools to check for keyword ranking.

I agree with Ryan. In my openion, two important things you have to do for any TLD to work well for you is to ensure that you have relevant information and do not divert your content focus, the second is that tell Google your destination target in your webmaster tool area.

I have few good ranked info sites and find that regardless of your domain level, you do it right, you'll rise as a winner!!
