Page feedback
-
We recently wrote a new website page to cover the direct mail services our organization offers.
We kept the title tag to 70 characters, the meta description under 150 characters. H1 tag has what we feel is the most important term.
If anyone out there has time to review & provide a little feedback, we'd really appreciate it. It would be great to know if it is built well and providing a solid end user experience.

At the moment, the only links pointing to this page are from our blog.
One bit of content I am contemplating is a short paragraph - What is Direct Mail Marketing?
Literally providing a short definition of it.
The page was activated last Thursday and showing up in some Google results on the 4th/5th page but I am thinking this is probably just a temporary bump for now.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice!!!

Only thing I think really needs adding would be image meta. Those pictures look blank to me when browsing as Googlebot so the real googlebot probably has no idea what's there.

Happy Friday to you too!
You can tell the page is written by a writer/marketer. It's very nicely put together and has not been stuffed or "forced" by someone trying to optimise for an algorithm, rather than a person. Very refreshing to see!

Hey Tom,
THANK YOU! Extremely helpful - I thought I was using a little too much content so that insight is much appreciated.
I am more of the writer/marketing guy but those reports are going straight to IT for speed improvements. Thanks for those as well.
Happy Friday.

Hi there
First impressions - I quite like it. It's clean, the navigation looks good, I think the images could be utlilised a bit better, they're a bit small and you can't read the call to action in one of them (which, given your keyword, is a bit of a sin)
Nice use of H1s, H2s, H3s. Nothing looks stuffed/unnatural which is great. Looks like you've got nice interlinking throughout the site, too.
I think you could benefit from a bit more text content. It's a bit thin when you look at it through Google's eyes.
There's something though that I caught when the page was loading. That is, it was a bit slow to load.
Here's a GTmetrix report of the page. This looks at the speed of the page and improvements you could make to it. You'll see here that one of the biggest recommendations is to use browser caching. There's a guide on GTMetrix to help you do that.
But I do like the page - it's not flashy for flashy's sake and it's got a solid base from an SEO perspective. Maybe you could also include a portfolio of some of your design work or a few testimonials from previous clients over the work that you did. Might add a little extra trust to your brand and would also give you a chance to really wow a client with some past designs.

HTTPS for form pages?
I am creating a small business website for a friend in Recruitment. It’s very small and mainly just a shop window for the business. There’s no login area for the website, but there are two areas were users can enter information: General contact us form (giving email and phone number) Applying for a job (attaching a resume) The forms are using Ninja Forms – which I believe are secure in passing information. But am I missing anything? Do I need to make these pages https at all? I’m quite new to building sites from scratch. Thanks for your help

Page titles in browser not matching WP page title
I have an issue with a few page titles not matching the title I have In WordPress. I have 2 pages, blog & creative gallery, that show the homepage title, which is causing duplicate title errors. This has been going on for 5 weeks, so its not an a crawl issue. Any ideas what could cause this? To clarify, I have the page title set in WP, and I checked "Disable PSP title format on this page/post:"...but this page is still showing the homepage title. Is there an additional title setting for a page in WP?

Using category pages in Wordpress
In our niche we have one main keyword, which represents the entire category. We are using wordpress. I am trying to understand the best URL structure and wonder if the below is a good approach: http://domain.com/keyword This category page will be written to contain an article on the subject. The posts that are put into that category will subsequently appear on this page, below that article. Each of those posts would be targeting a related keyword. e.g. I would write a post which has, as the main target keyword: "MainKeyword training" and another post, which would be targeting "MainKeyword techniques" ... (and so on). Thanks for your advice. Andrew

How can I prevent duplicate content between www.page.com/ and www.page.com
SEOMoz's recent crawl showed me that I had an error for duplicate content and duplicate page titles. This is a problem because it found the same page twice because of a '/' on the end of one url. e.g. www.page.com/ vs. www.page.com My question is do I need to be concerned about this. And is there anything I should put in my htaccess file to prevent this happening. Thanks!

Can I use canonical tags to merge property map pages and availability pages to their counterpart overview pages?
I have a property website, for each property are 4-5 tabs each with their own URL, these pages include the overview page which is content rich, and auxilliary pages such as maps, availability, can I use a canonical tag to merge the tabs with very little content to their corresponding overview page which is content rich? I.e. www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/overview This page has tabs for map, town info, availability which all have their own url i.e. www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/map

www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/availability
www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/towninfo Because these auxilary pages do not contain much content can I place a canonical tag in them pointing back to the content rich overview page at www.mywebsite.co.uk/property-1/overview?0 -
