Hi,
I have done alot of work over the past few weeks to fix errors but I seem to be slding down the rankings again!
I have attached a screenshot of the competitive link analysis. The 2nd competitor along is pushing past me and I just can't see why. What steps should I take and what is the priority?
Thanks,

Hi,
Thank-you, yes the book has been a big project, can't wait for the launch!
Thanks also for taking the time to research this. I have just used open site explorer, it is confusing as it states my page authority is 40, whilst the nearest competitor is 28.
I need to build links but I am not sure that leaving comments on blogs is helping. One thought I have had is to create a gallery with linked images to other websites that have images with me or my food. Do you think this might be give a big boost?
Thanks,
T23

Did you look at the anchor text distribution in open site explorer and compare yours to your competitors? and is the phrase you want to rank for "japanese cooking lessons"?
After a quick look I would say that since a lot of the links to your home page are anchored with your name and also no-follow, you just haven't built enough authority to rank where you want for the more general terms.
If you want people to find you for more local searches "Japanese cooking classes London" and those types, then I would try putting word London somewhere in your home page's title tag and see what happens. More customized title tags across the whole site would probably help you out too.
but i did about 7 mins of investigation, so take it with a grain of salt.
Your site's really nice by the way and congrats on the book!

Hi,
The domain is www.yukiskitchen.com. It is strange that moz rank and trust are higher than the competitor's but we are still being overtaken. The errors are all fixed already.
The only big difference i can see is the pie chart for followed v. no-followed links.
Thanks for your help,

Honestly it would be very hard to tell just based on that screenshot. Links are a quality over quantity thing so the numbers alone won't tell us much. By errors do you mean on-site errors? - duplicate content, missing metainfo, etc. Getting those taken care of should be a prerequisite, so sounds like your on the right track.
If you want to tell us the domains I might be able to be more helpful....Best of Luck!

What's more valuable, a Blog or a Forum, and how to integrate?
We want to start a blog or forum (maybe eventually both) and are unsure what is the best way to publish it from an SEO standpoint. If the blog is published on our domain, like domain.com/blog then that obviously helps the site but if the base site is a for-profit business wouldn't it get less credibility, eyeballs, links as opposed to if you started the blog as it's own separate community on a separate domain and then just strategically linked to the for profit site (sponsorship links)? Essentially the question is, if I'm the Lucky Soday Company, do I start a Blog on the Lucky Soda website, or do I start a separate website to grow a soft drink enthusiast community blog / forum? I would guess a blog has more SEO potential than a discussion forum?

Duplicate Content That Isn't Duplicated
In Moz, I am receiving multiple messages saying that there is duplicate page content on my website. For example, these pages are being highlighted as duplicated: https://www.ohpopsi.com/photo-wallpaper/made-to-measure/pop-art-graffiti/farm-with-barn-and-animals-wall-mural-3824 and https://www.ohpopsi.com/photo-wallpaper/made-to-measure/animals-wildlife/little-elephants-garden-seamless-pattern-wall-mural-3614. As you can see, both pages are different products, therefore I can't apply a 301 redirect or canonical tag. What do you suggest?

I'm a newb, built a website with Wix want to redirect it to a domain I own, but am reading that Wix is bad for this
Hi, I am building this site for my boss http://charlesfridmanpr.wix.com/real-estate and am still working on it. I'm getting close to the stage where I want to redirect it to the URL we want to use, but in reading these forums, it says that because all of subpages (?) have a # in them, they will not be read or indexed by google. I am very new to this, and while it may not look like it, the website has taken me quite a while to design. Is there a way to fix this? We want to appear high up for a non competitive keyword. Thanks

Someone asked me: What's the latest in SEO?
Hi, I'm wondering how others would respond to this question. "What's the latest in SEO?" Someone random asked me this on a plane that does not know much about digital marketing, but has someone else do for their business. I told them the google algortithm is constantly changing and it's always new, that there are about 500 changes a year (thought that was close to right) and then got down to some basic principals. I'm asking how you might answer as I could see someone asking me this within my organization as well. Thanks for any tips on a great answer or resources. Laura

ScreamingFrog won't crawl my site.
Hey guys, My site is Netspiren.dk and when I use a tool like Screaming Frog or Integrity, it only crawls my homepage and menu's - not product-pages. Examples
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | FrederikTrovatten22
A menu: http://www.netspiren.dk/pl/Helse-Kosttilskud-Blandingsolie_57699.aspx
A product: http://www.netspiren.dk/pi/All-Omega-3-6-9-180-kapsler_1412956_57699.aspx Is it because the products are being loaded in Javascript?
What's your recommendation? All best,

Mystery 404's
I have a large number of 404's that all have a similar structure: www.kempruge.com/example/kemprugelaw. kemprugelaw keeps getting stuck on the end of url's. While I created www.kempruge.com/example/ I never created the www.kempruge.com/example/kemprugelaw page or edited permalinks to have kemprugelaw at the end of the url. Any idea how this happens? And what I can do to make it stop? Thanks, Ruben

Am I Doing This Wrong? Ecommerce SEO
I ran my site through the SEOMoz On-Page Optimization tool and one of the problems noted was "Keyword Self-Cannibalization" in this case, it was stating I was using the keyword "Board Games" too much. Site in question: http://theboardgamers.co.uk/ The problem being is that every product link contains the word "Board Game" - Which makes sense, but I guess it may look spammy to the SEO world. Would it be best to remove the "board game" part from each internal link and only leave it in the URL structure?
