Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have implemented the robots method for the moment and I will look at the exclusion of parameters too. thanks , i will now wait the next crawl from Moz .

Hi all,

Hoping someone can she some light on a fix with ref to wordpress and the search function it uses as Moz is craling some pages which reference the search

domain.com/?s=keyword

Errors showing up are duplicate pages, descriptions and titles.

The search function is not important on this site and I have tried to use a plugin which disables the search page which it does but these errors still show up. Can anyone assist as this is the final piece of the puzzle and then we're down to 0 issues on the site.

Well, I have added the relevant information for the scheme microdata as a start and I have fixed some issues re. authorship so that is now included. Thanks for the tips. Checking for Toxic links.

What constitutes a "toxic" link though - Reading up on various things there are opinions. Any guidance or Moz article would be good.

Thanks - we will implement the authorship tool via WP and I have been looking into Richsnippers and Schema data too. Thanks for the info. I was just about to look into the Link detox items to see if there is anything negative there.

Hopefully more suggestions will come from others

First of all, thanks for a great response and thank you for the compliments about the site - It is always nice to hear good things about a site you have designed so it means a lot.

I will look at the Link Detox and the link profiles in more depth. We are targeting the local listings more now and trying to hit that hard - the keyphrase we are going for is "Manchester Removals" / "Removals Manchester" but also drilling into some more local areas.

I am hoping one of the WP geeks might be able to help. One question (I might have phrased wrong re. canonical) - Moz is showing up X number of canonical links in the crawl. Is that anything to worry about or any negative factor on the site?

Since this redesign our bounce rates have started to drop as well as we are trying to convert more of the visitors to the site to leads instead of just trying to get more and more visitors to the site (which isnt the answer). We have been focused on the information, the flow of the user and answering their needs.

Good morning / afternoon / evening all,

We are continually working our website - www.movingeverywhere.co.uk , it has suffered some drastic drop in rankings with the last 2 google algorithm updates which we have been working to resolve. This has involved:

• Redesigning the website (responsive now) , increase of speed, reduction of code, better UX and generally better all round experience for the user.

• Signed up to Moz and resolved any issues which have been highlighted. (Hopefully fixed the last ones today)

• Investigated our inbound link profile to try and weed out any bad incoming links or any links that were damaging the site.

• Increased our social network profile and reach.

We have done competitor analysis and we are beating all of our competitioers with on site factors as per Moz results but it appears we are missing something which means we are not reaping the fruits of our efforts at the moment. The site is wordpress and we read there could be a canonical issue with Wordpres ssites

We are asking the Moz community for any guidance and assistance to try and diagnose any negative factors affecting the SEO effort on the site. Thank you for your time and help.

No wiki's on the front page , they are all websites and been checking out the seo factors on these sites and it is looking promising what I will be able to hopefully achieve with a good seo campaign in place and good site build / site seo.

I am using the Seomoz keyword tool to do some research. Some of the keywords I am researching are returning with a difficulty of 20 - 30% , are these good percentage keywords to target. I will obviously be following Seomoz tips / methods etc

Hi all,

What are your thoughts on the arrangement of keyphrases / words? For example, does it make a difference if the words are arranged in the following way:

"Keyword 1 Keyword 2"

or

"Keyword 2 Keyword 1"

Both ways make a phrases which is favourable in the search engines. Can I stick with 1 way or should I be going with both arrangements.

Hope that is clear

Thank you
