On-page optimization - Am I doing it well?
-
Hi Mozzers,
I'm sitting here going through our site and optimizing all of our content.
For the most part we've just written without correct keyword research, so the content lacks focus.Here is a page I would consider finished - http://www.consumerbase.com/international-mailing-lists.html
I have our KWs in the:
- URL
- Title Tag
- Meta Description
- Bolded in Content
- Image Alt Attribute.
If I optimize my other pages like this, will I be good?
It feels a tiny bit stuffed to me, but SEOmoz's on-page tool gives me glowing numbers.Thanks!

Yes you should only have 1 H1 tag per page, I didn't realise the "International Mailing List" was the H1. As Market Stomper said, it was more about UX and separating the paragraphs.
-
This is correct - you are only supposed to have 1 x h1 tag on your page as this stipulates what the main header for your page is.
You could however mix it up with some h2 and h3 tags as it is ok to use multiple versions of these on any page....but use them in a hierachical order i.e. dont use h3 if you havent used h2 on the page, dont use h4 if you havent used a h2 & h3 etc.

I think it looks pretty good, and doesn't come across to spammy.
I can see your main heading at the top is a H1 tag, so that's enough on the H1 tag front.
You could squeeze in a H2 but only if you think it fits.
You could try some more semantic words which relate to each other such as 'international' and 'Global' or 'list' and 'database' but I think you might already have these in play.

I thought I was only supposed to have one h1 tag per page.
Is this not correct? -
Hi Zora,
I would agree with Karl, adding some H1, H2 tags into the flow of your content and link to other pages within your website would not just be good for SEO but the the user experience as well.
-
You've done a pretty good job there. I would suggest adding some H1's into your content as well and maybe some in-content linking too which can be good for users.

When serving a 410 for page gone, should I serve an error page?
I'm removing a bunch of old & rubbish pages and was going to serve 410 to tell google they're gone (my understanding is it'll get them out of the index a bit quicker than a 404). I should still serve an error page though, right? Similar to a 404. That doesn't muddy the "gone" message that I'm giving Google? There's no need to 410 and die?

Optimize Slideshare Presentation
I built out a few slideshare presentations, and they are getting a few views. What's weird is when I search for them it takes me pages and pages of sifting to actually find them. Thats even when I use quotation marks around my account name and the individual presentation title. Any ideas on how I can better optimize my presentations?

Better UX or more Dedicated Pages (and page views)?
Hi, I'm building a new e-commerce site and I'm conflicting about what to do in my category pages. If we take for example a computer store.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | BeytzNet
I have a category of laptops and inside there are filters by brand (Samsung, HP, etc.). I have two options - either having the brand choice open a new dedicated page -
i.e. Samsung-Laptops.aspx or simply do a JQuery filter which gives a better and faster user experience (immediate, animated and with no refresh). **Which should I use? (or does it depend on the keyword it might target)? **
Samsung laptops / dell laptops / hp laptops - are a great keyword on there own! By the way, splitting Laptops.aspx to many sub category physical pages might also help by providing the site with many actual pages dealing with laptops altogether.0 -
Page not appearing in SERPs
I have a regional site that does fairly well for most towns in the area (top 10-20). However, one place that has always done OK and has great content is not anywhere within the first 200. Everything looks OK, canonical link is correct, I can find the page if I search for exact text, there aren't any higher ranking duplicate pages. Any ideas what may have happened and how I can confirm a penalty for example. TIA,

Landing Page - Home Page redesign SEO factor question - Serious concern.
Hi Folks, I'm considering making a big change to our website and really need some expert advise. Will we lose ranking if we do what I propose? Our site www.meninkilts.com, needs to split users/clients by "Commercial" and "Residential" so we can message/market completely differently to each client. We are considering doing this structure: Landing Page | | Commercial Homepage Residential Homepage Right now we rank well, for our keywords like "Window Cleaning cityname" but are worried that adding a landing page, and splitting our site to two homepages will effect seo (ie: a landing page would only have two buttons: one for commercial and one for residential). What would be the best way to handle this. Looking forward to your insights! Cheers Brent

Pages On Subfolder Not Ranking
A subdirectory/folder on our website doesn't seem to rank for any keywords where the same type of pages on the same competition level keywords rank perfectly fine. For awhile the pages weren't getting indexed but were crawled regularly. Can't seem to figure the problem out.
