Are jobsite themes harder to optimize than say a traditional website?
-
Until recently I have enjoyed a great deal of success with SEO on my websites and clients websites. SEO is more of a hobby than a profession for me however I am really struggling with my latest website www.securityjobsuk.co.uk - The keywords are easy, 1. security jobs and 2. security vacancies. The site has vanished off radar completely since I used the jobify theme. Has anyone had similar experience with job boards? Do they require more TLC / expert attention?

Hi Spencer, thank you for your reply.
I have not changed domains, the site name is being generated by Wordpress in the settings so can easily be removed. I think the H1 tags may be another debate, however will take it down to one per page. again most of the H1 are being generated by the theme rather than deliberate acts.

Wow, that's ridiculous. I just looked at https://www.97thfloor.com/ and their site is sort of cool, but it also really hurts my eyes.
I never understood SEO company's that preach one thing and then either do something else or just don't do exactly what they're telling their customers.
97th floor also has the same title tag for every page. I guess they just don't want to be found organically, which I guess might make sense when you work with big brands like they do.

I see it working now as well. Also Spencer, if you ever want a good laugh go check out the H1s for the Moz Recommended companies. I believe at least the first 5 on the page either have multiple h1s or none at all.

The content seems to be working fine for me on desktop and mobile.
Did you change domains when you changed themes or were you always http://www.securityjobsuk.co.uk/ but with better rankings? I ask because your domain authority is pretty low (18) and generally sites with that low of a domain authority don't rank at all.
The only other issue I can see is that your logo/sitename is sitting in a sitewide h1 and every page I looked at had at least 4 h1 tags, which is definitely not advised. Any page should only ever have one h1 and the logo shouldn't be a sitewide h1, at least in my opinion. That may be at least part of your issue.

hi Richard, thats interesting. I have checked this on various browsers and devices and was OK.

I can't even access your content on the site. I see home, mobile, and desktop as text and when I click desktop it just highlights mobile again, so nothing changes.

Directory website creation
Hi, I'm in the process of helping a client with a wedding show & supplier directory. Could anyone give me pointers as to the best practice for the architecture? Because the suppliers and shows will be listed geographically is there a possibility for the site to seem keyword stuffed? thanks, MOZ brain, you guys always rock.

HTML and XML sitemaps for one website.
Hi all, First, we have created a HTML sitemap for our wordpress website. Then we again generated XML sitemap and submitted same in search console. It's been more than a week and still new XML sitemap has not been indexed yet. I can still only see HTML sitemap for search results "company sitemap". Also search console do have only XML sitemap. Both sitemaps are accessible but only HTML has been indexed. Is there anything wrong having 2 sitemaps? Why XML sitemap not been indexed? Thanks

Are wordpress themes like from themeforest bad?
Hi to all. Ok so as I read around the internet I see a lot of people who dislike theme forest and using their themes. I have a them from them, the Avada theme. Ok so they have made a TON of money. But would so many people buy the theme if it was that bad? Going forward, my question is, are wordpress themes a bad thing to do? I feel like its peer pressure to switch to a framework like Genesis. There are so many people who state that a framework and child theme is the way to go. But I am using this avada theme and having under 2.5 sec load times. A lot of people say the code is bloated and is horrible. I understand this and got a cache plugin that makes a huge difference. But I do want to learn and I do want to approach websites in a positive way. So if you have any thoughts on themes, please tell me your thoughts. I am no developer, so they seem to work, but is it at a price? Like bad seo and serps? Thank you chris

Site-wide footer links or single "website credits" page?
I see that you have already answered this question before back in 2007 (http://www.seomoz.org/qa/view/2163), but wanted to ask your current opinion on the same question: Should I add a site-wide footer link to my client websites pointing to my website, or should I create a "website credits" page on my clients site, add this to the footer and then link from within this page out to my website?
