Any advice for my website http://cvcsports.com?
-
I run the website http://cvcsports.com for myself and my parents. We offer custom varsity jackets for athletes/companies/etc. We rank first in Google for "letterman jackets" and near the top for "varsity jackets". I really want to reach #1 for "varsity jackets" (we were briefly #1 a few days ago but didn't stay there). Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to achieve that? Thanks in advance for the tips!

I don't know what title tag to use. Would take more KW research than I am able to do at this time.
The post pages are not being found because your content management system is inserting a bad link. It can probably be fixed by working the code in your template page.
This site has some good rankings even though there is a lot wrong with it. If you are getting some good traffic and making a few sales it would definitely be worth the money to hire someone to fix the technical problems.
There is also a lot of potential to improve your conversion rate.
Good luck with it.

Thanks for the tips! I'll be sure to do those!

Thanks for the tips! What title tag should I put on the jacket designer? And why are post pages of the blog not found?

Just saying a few things that what I would do if this was my biz...... These are just starter suggestions from a quick look.
I would start with making a decision between using cvcsports.com and buildyourjacket.com. They look like duplicate sites. I would redirect one to the other.
Also cvcsports.com uses the buildyourjacket.com domain in the title tag. That looks like a switcheroo to visitors. I don't know what Google would think of this. My guess is neutral to negative. I would move to consistent branding.
I would create
that includes "varsity jackets". I see that you have an
but it is commented out.
http://www.cvcsports.com and http://cvcsports.com are splitting the linkvalue for this site. I would use .htaccess to merge them. You can use the research tools to discover which one has more link value. Redirect to that one. This should increase the overall power of the site.
The server seems to be having page load problems. I did a few dozen pageviews and saw connection three connection resets. This might be confined to the www. I would have someone who knows more than me about servers and .htaccess than I do check into the site, merging the domains and unite all of your assets.
The jacket designer is cool... but title tag is worthless on that page.
Blog is on a subdomain at blog.buildyourjacket.com. I would get that into a folder on the preferred domain. The title tag of the blog has no SEO value. Also post pages of the blog are not found.
This site needs a lot of work. I am surprised that you have "letterman jackets' at #1.

To start from simple tasks, I think you could try to change the position of "Custom Letterman Jackets" with "Varsity Jackets" in the title (Varsity Jackets, Custom Letterman Jackets, Custom Designs | BuildYourJacket.com) and you could delete the final part ( | BuildYourJacket.com) to improve the relative weight of the first terms.
Then I see that the h1 tag is commented. You could improve the relevance of the keywords putting the h1 tag into the "visible" page.

Something happened within the last 2 weeks on our WordPress-hosted site that created "duplicates" by counting www.company.com/example and company.com/example (without the 'www.') as separate pages. Any idea what could have happened, and how to fix it?
Our website is running through WordPress. We've been running Moz for over a month now. Only recently, within the past 2 weeks, have we been alerted to over 100 duplicate pages. It appears something happened that created a duplicate of every single page on our site; "www.company.com/example" and "company.com/example." Again, according to our MOZ, this is a recent issue. I'm almost certain that prior to a couple of weeks ago, there existed both forms of the URL that directed to the same page without be counting as a duplicate. Thanks for you help!

New websites
Hi Moz community, My company updated and used a new developer to build and re-design their charity websites: www.runforcharity.com, www.cycleforcharity.com and www.sportforcharity.com. This sites were "re-launched" at the beggining of December 2015 and I have now been able to get a good 6 weeks worth of data. I've been religiously using Moz.com for a couple of years and I use it simply for SEO purposes. Our websites are built upon organic traffic being driven to them and I have noticed that the PA on the new sites has taken a hammering. They all appear to have a PA of 1 and I'm at a loss why? It appears that no page has h1 text? Would this be an issue with the developer or something the content team is doing wrong? Any help of advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks Ryan

Client rebranded with a new website but can't migrate now defunct franchise website to new website.
Hi everyone, My client is a chain of franchised restaurants with a local domain website named after the franchise. The franchise exited the market while the client stayed and built its own brand with a separate website. The franchise website (which is extremely popular) will be shut down soon but the client will not be able to redirect the franchise website to the new website for legal reasons. What can I do to ensure that we start ranking immediately for the franchise keyphrase as soon as the franchise website is shutdown. We currently have the new website and access to the old website (which we can't redirect) Thanks, T

4 questions about a paragraph of SEO friendly text in my e-com websites header.
Hi guys, I'm trying to understand the SEO behind our websites header. www.mountainjade.co.nz As you can see we have a paragraph of relevant introductory text that is also SEO friendly in our header. What I would like some help with is understanding how google views and assigns 'juice' to information like this in the header or footer of a website. Usually certain pages have content specific to a given topic, and google ranks these pages accordingly. But with a websites header / footer its content appears on every page as the header is always at the top and footer at the bottom. 1. In what way does my website benefit from the paragraph of text in the header? e.g at the domain level? Just the home page? etc etc 2. How does google assign 'juice' to the paragraph of text? (similiar to Q1). 3. How would my website be effected if I moved the text to the footer? (Aesthetic change) 4. When I 'inspect element' on the paragraph, it is labelled 'div id=site description.' Can someone please explain the relevance of a sites description to SEO for me. This paragraph of text was in the websites header before I came onboard, and I've been too concerned to change / move it as I don't know enough about it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks team, Jake

Rel=canonical an iframed version of the same website?
My issue is that we have two websites with the same content. For the sake of an example lets say they are: jackson.com jacksonboats.com When you go to jacksonboats.com, the website is an iframed version of jackson.com. However all of the companies email addresses are example@jacksonboats.com so a 301 is not possible. What would be the best way to forward over the link juice from jacksonboats.com to jackson.com? I'm thinking a rel=canonical tag, but I wanted to ask first. Thanks,

How And/Or If To Prune Footer Links
Hi, I have a site with a site-wide footer that currently has 28 internal links.The footer terms are the terms the pages are focused on. This footer is on every page of the site (hundreds of pages). Some pages of my site have 10 or so additional links pointing to internal and external pages (besides the footer) and some pages (like the homepage) have about 50 links besides the footer. I'm going for a half dozen new terms with new pages that I would be adding to the site-wide footer. Do you think I should trim the existing footer before adding these new terms? I guess I would remove the terms that show no real hope of ever getting to page one... like pages stuck in the 40s. Or, pages I for whatever reason don't care much if they rank or not. Would trimming it to a smaller number do more to help the remaining linked pages/terms? What do you think? Thanks!

Redirecting multiple websites to a single website
I've been trying to run several truck accessory affiliate websites for a quite a while now. I've recently decided to combine all of my affiliate websites into a single community website. This way I'll be able to focus all my energy and link building into a single place and build up a single brand. My question is, how many websites do I try to redirect to the new website at a time? Do I need to spread this out? Or is it ok if I move all of my content and websites at a single time? I have around 30 websites that I could move to this new domain. Thanks! Andy
