Dear SEO Expert,
We run a website www.guitarmonk.com. Moz has told us of some errors at our website viz.:
Especially duplicate content etc and whatever in addition you suggest should be good for the website for certain relative important keywords.

As I mentioned before I would recommend concentrating on reading the Moz Guide to SEO then systematically checking and improving your site in accordance with the advice. At that point ask any questions you have on here - this is a brilliant community with lots of clever people so you are sure to get some great help.
Reading the guide should remove this confusion and it might well bring up some more specific questions. At the minute I am snowed under and won't be able to jump on a call, but any specific questions or elements you are struggling with bring them to the community and ask. Try to be a specific as possible and give examples if you can this will allow people to help you. You are welcome to drop me a private message, but as I say there are lots of experienced people on here and getting more than one persons advice and experience is what makes this community invaluable. You also have members all over the world so you are likely to get a quicker response posting on here rather than waiting for one member to come online.
Hope this helps

Sure Matt,
I will read out the article links you shared. I know there is a symmetry of things to be rectified in the website related to 301 redirect would help.
Can you have a look at it for a while ?. Being candid, I am already confused on how to do it if someone can guide me for even 5 minutes and I am sure I can do it.
A Viber call can work :-).

Hi Kumar
Oh ok - that makes sense well there are lots of people that can help you on here - however I would consider having a go at some of it yourself as your site isn't huge and you could improve some of the basics before getting help. The resources above should really help and off course you have the community to turn to - just a suggestion to help you get the most for your money. As ever I guess this boils down to your time available and budget - good luck
Best Regards,
Matt

Thanks Matt,
Actually, I am looking for someone who can do this on my behalf :-).
This website is a wordpress hosted blog and not self hosted one so unable to install Yoast plugin.
Regards

In terms of how you can handle duplicate content I would suggest having a look at this guide from Moz themselves - http://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content - if you then have specific questions don't hesitate to come back and put them to the community - you are sure to find some great advice.
In terms of how you can improve your websites SEO I would suggest that you look at Moz's free guide to SEO - there are lots of things that you can do to get your websites ranking improving for keywords that you are targeting.

I see your website is on WordPress - I would recommend that you consider installing the Yoast SEO plugin - it will help you optimise your site in terms of SEO. This will also help guide you on how to use it -

If I have two brands and I market one in English (BrandA.com) and one in Spanish (BrandB.com), and the websites are identical but in different languages, would that have a negative impact on SEO due to duplicate content?
I have a client who wants a website in Spanish and one in English. Typically we would use a multi-language plugin for a single site (brandA.com/en or /es), but this client markets to their Spanish-speaking constituents under a different brand. So I am wondering if we have BrandA.com in English, and the exact same content in Spanish at BrandB.com if there will be negative SEO implications and/or if it will be recognized as duplicate content by search engines?

Do I need to do 301s in this situation?
We have an e-commerce site built on Magento 2. We launched a few months ago, and had about 2K categories. The categories got indexed in Google for the most part. Shortly after launch, we decided to go with SLI for search and navigation because the native search/navigation was too slow given our database. The navigation pages are now hosted navigation pages; meaning, the URLs have changed and they are now hosted by SLI. I have done 301s for the most popular categories, but I didn't do 301s for all categories as we have to go through each category one-by-one and map it to the correct navigation page. Our new category sitemap only lists the new SLI category URLs. Will the fact that we have not 301'd all of our former categories hurt us as far as SEO? Do I have to do 301 redirects for all former category pages?

SEO Audit for a National Section of a Global Website
Hello Moz Community, Very recently I've started working with a national branch of a global company. The way they have their website set up is that you must pick one of the National branches from the main home page. From there, you'll get content related to that country (I'm in a Canada, so naturally, I'm working on the Canadian side). The question I have is more from a URL structure. Because I can only make any influence for the national side, would it make sense to put it on its own subdomain or is this older SEO thinking? Example:

Where to begin (SEO-wise) with my Website?
Hello, We hired a company to design an e-commerce website for us. Along the way they did some initial SEO design, but we are clearly a long way from where we need to be. I'm not a web-designer or a knowledgeable SEO person. I have the website linked to webtools, google analytics and obviously this site as well. I've been toying with the idea of just trying to accomplish some SEO myself, but the more I read about SEO, the more daunting it seems. I'm a full-time military pilot, so this seems like it involves more time than I have to give. Where do I begin? My Website www.phoenixprintingsolutions.com Thanks in advance

Does anyone know the rules or methods for improving SEO of forums?
After speaking with the Yoast team, they explained that their product cannot support SEO for forums as forum support within Wordpress comes via a plugin and their Wordpress SEO by Yoast plugin cannot support another program. They said that doing SEO on a forum is really hard. I believe it. The tiered hierarchy of forums would seem to make it difficult. Should I use a direct such as NOINDEX, FOLLOW for the higher level elements of the forum and index just the topic? I'm really at a loss here. My website is http://www.heartspm.com and my forum can be seen on the left menu. Press "Ask A Question." Thanks in advance. Gerry
