Help to Increase Traffic for On-line Pet Store
-
Hi Guys,
Recently opened a Pet Supply Business www.valuepetsupplies.co.uk and we have launched our web site just last week. We currently have around 1800 products but have literally 1,000'a more to be added but as with everything in life it all takes time and effort. We have the shop sitting on the Presta-Shop e-commerce platform and it is connected with FB (1350fans), Twiter, Pinterest and a blog. Currently we have circa 600 visitors each month but we obviously need far more than that to compete in this marketplace. I am going to try and use some of the tools on this site to see what insights I can ascertain.
So I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of what do get done next, I have some ideas but I thought I would put this on the table to see what some of the real pro's suggestions would be.
Criticism also is welcomed.
Thanks for looking guys could do with all the help I can get right now.

Hi Allen,
Many of the images need the alt tags seen to, presta shop is not uber friendly on this one but we are getting round to it.
Thank You very much.

Thanks Jeremy,
Google we have, Bing was next and Alex I didn't think about so thanks for that, site structure I think you can access most products within 2 clicks, in the process of Audit at the moment.
Appreciate your Input.

Hi Egol,
Thanks for that, whilst we have had many of the descriptions professionally rewritten some as you correctly point out are not, but those as with the Coming Soon pages are currently marked as noindex whilst we get up to speed on these.
Targeting good keywords and title tagging again we are aware of this point and that was/ is part of phase 2 after getting the original delivery up on line.
Purchase buttons, I presume you mean add to cart, In my mind these are very visible on each product box without being intrusive but maybe that's not what you meant, possibly you can elaborate.
If you don't have a budget to hire someone, then you have two options. Do it yourself or don't bother, and I yes it has taken time and yes we will make mistakes but It's not all guesswork.
Anyway Ego I do appreciate fully your feedback.
Thanks.

This site is dead meat until unique product descriptions are written. Thousands of other people are using the same product descriptions.
Check here... thousands of duplicates.
Lots of other problems:
--- lack of targeting good keywords to products
--- poor title tag writing
--- purchase buttons out of site
--- "coming soon" pages create thin and duplicate content
So, my bet is that you are trying to learn this as you build it. Lots of people do things that way but it takes a lot of time and you have to learn from lots of mistakes. My suggestion is to hire someone who knows how to build a successful retail site, pay them to study your site and coach you through getting it up and running. Then you will be working for wins instead of guessing. The cost is about the same. You can pay for mistakes or pay for actionable advice.

Snoop,
If getting more online visitors is the goal, then using some of the online page grading services might help improve the skeletal structure of the pages.
Just my quick scan of the landing page indicated the page title is too long and a H1 title tag is missing. In addition there are two images that are missing an "Alt=" tag. These two missing tags represent an opportunity for you to promote you keywords further.
A page that is easily indexed, and optimized for your keywords will rank higher, and attract more visits.

Hi Snoop D,
quick wins can be found in these three gems:
Have you registered the site with bing, alexa and google?
look at the site structure, how many clicks does it take to land on a product? You want this to be a maximum of three.
Use the on page audit to audit product pages, for product keywords.

Unsolved How Does MOZ Pro Help An E-Commerce Site Gain Rankings?
Added Maximum keywords on Moz Pro - Updated our SERP and optimized metas for all our products on Bookscardsnbikes. We are sorting out bad backlinks - and have google ads + and boosting our seo. And yet - no traffic or customers [minimal] Have been a business for one year. In short: can you take a look at our moz [Site Audit] and explain what we're missing to get our company off of the ground. We are more than okay with criticism - it helps us grow. Our layout and site design is completely fine and what we want. But we think its just a matter of being a new site that we aren't getting the amount of business we COULD have. Is the 200$ a month worth it? What is moz doing to help us grow? Best. Bookscardsnbikes

Moz shows an F grade and 0 keywords on a previously high ranking page - Please help
Hi all, Moz is showing an F grade and 0 keywords across all URL, Title, Meta, H1, Meta and IMG ALT. My page has also dropped from 1st page rankings for numerous pages to 2nd and 3rd page. The page I am talking about is: http://year13.com.au/10-highest-paying-jobs-you-can-get-without-a-degree/ The keywords/phrases we were previously ranking very well for are: High paying jobs in Australia High paying jobs Highest paying jobs you can get with no degree Etc Etc I have also seen reduction in rankings on other keywords/ pages as well. Does anyone know why this might have happened? And what might be happening? Thanks in advance!

SEO best practices and online store?
Hey guys, I'm just starting a company and had a few questions regarding how we should structure our online store. The store is currently selling skins for consoles, phones - and we have wall decals too, as well as fridge wraps. I was wondering if anyone had advice on the best structure of things? Should I, for instance, have a single "Xbox One Wrap" product page with multiple variations as an option? Or should I have individual product pages for each different style? I feel like putting all the weight on a single Xbox One Wrap page is great, but I also feel like having more content out there for each product probably isn't terrible either? Suggestions? The site is www.FapWrap.com so you can check it out - it's original photos we are taking of adult stars, but eventually will be for "Sexy" people in general. Heh.

How often does Organic Traffic Data update?
The latest traffic I see is from week ending 2nd Jan 2011, this seems an overally long time to wait for a traffic update, given that tools such as Raven can provide live stats.

What's the best practice for tracking broad match traffic?
We use the Pro Web App for our keyword/ranking reporting. First, am I correct in assuming that this uses exact match to report the traffic? That being the case, is there a way in Moz (beyond entering endless permutations of our targeted keywords) to track traffic we're getting out of broad match searches? For example, say we optimized for and are tracking the keyword "lambada dancing llamas" for a company called Llarry's Llamas. Let's say that Moz reports little to no traffic for that keyword, but GoogleAnalytics indicates that we've gotten traffic from "larrys dancing llamas", "dancing llamas", "llarry llamas" and so on. So, obviously we're getting broad match traffic out of the lambada llamas, just not a lot of exact match, which is all that the Moz app shows. How do other people track this kind of traffic?
