Is my website is having enough content on it to rank?
-
I have less content on my website, is this okay or I need to add more content on my pages?
Website is - brandstenmedia.com.au
Any other suggestions for the website?

Yes I would, I would overlay those images with text, and mark them up using good html5 semantics and schema.org.
don't make it hard for the search engine to work out what you page is trying to do. describe your data well so that the search engine knows just when your trying to say.

Hi Landon,
You've not mentioned what specifically you want to rank for, but I think the first step is to figure out what makes sense from a business perspective
For example, where (geographically) does this business operate? You stand a much better chance of ranking for a geographically modified phrase than a generic phrase, plus any sales leads you receive will be ones you can service (as opposed to having to pass them on).
Once you've figured out what makes sense for you to try and rank for then you can make the necessary changes - see http://moz.com/learn/seo/on-page-factors
I hope this helps,
Hannah
PS the homepage slider doesn't work for me either and I'd echo the issue with load times.

As René mentioned - there is very limited content on the pages. Given the fact that the site is images - you should try to optimise the images you publish on your site. A good guide can be found here: http://moz.com/blog/image-seo-basics-whiteboard-friday
You might also want to check the configuration of your site - http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150427_01_FW1/ - while you get A scores for every element, your homepage takes 17seconds to load & loads about 865KB of data - mainly .js & images. Some of the elements on your page give a 404 - you might want to work on that.

=> mobile 56/100 - desktop 86/100The slider on your homepage doesn't seem to work properly (I tested in Chrome on Mac)

You should add more text content in terms of getting the search engines to rank you better. But most important are your links. Have you taken a look at your link profile (e.g. use OSE for that)?
I can see that you are running WordPress, have you tried using an optimization plugin like Yoast SEO? It could help you out with On-Page optimization of your site. Using your data from GA is also worth looking into. How is your advertising going (I assume that you are running AdWords with the remarketing script located on your site)?

Duplicate Content
Let's say a blog is publishing original content. Now let's say a second blog steals that original content via bot and publishes it as it's own. Now further assume the original blog doesn't notice this for several years. How much damage could this do to blog A for Google results? Any opinions?

Google cache from my website give another website
Hello, Some time ago, I already asked a question here because my homepage disappeared from Google for our main keyword. One of the problems that we showing up was the Google cache. If you look to the cache of the website www.conseilfleursdebach.fr, you see that it show the content of www.lesfleursdebach.be. It's both our website, but one is focus on France and the other one on Belgium. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Awww.conseilfleursdebach.fr&oq=cach&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j0j69i60j0l2.1374j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Before, there were flags on the page to go to the other country, but in the meantime I removed all links from the .fr to the .be and opposite. This is ongoing since January. Who has an idea of what can cause this and most of all, what do do? Kind regards, Tine

Redirecting Old Websites to New Websites
Hi Everyone, We are about to take down a number of websites in favour of a new singular B2B hub and would be looking to redirect all of these sites to the new home. For SEO purposes, what would be the best way to do this? Due to the difference in setups and scale of the site, it would be difficult to correctly match up each page to page between the sites for individual 301 redirects. Could someone advise on the best plan of action? Thanks.

Our web site lost ranking on google a couple of years ago. We have done lots of work on it but still can not improve our search ranking. Can anyone give us some advise
A couple of years ago the ranking on our site dropped over night. I believe someone working here at the time purchased links about that time. We have been doing lots of work on the site since then to improve it. We can not get our rankings back up on google searches. Can anyone give us some advise about what to do or where to go for some help that we can trust.

My PR 4 website won't rank for keywords that have very weak competition
I bought a real 1Yr old PR4 domain and used it to make a blog that would rank easily for new trending keywords (Ex: product launch keywords). I used Yoast SEO and made sure I did all the on-page recommendations it gave me and had linklicious ping the post and a couple high PR backlinks that I gave the page, but it won't even rank page 10 let alone index. My domain is indexed and the home page links to my post. I know a average amount of SEO but I hate doing it because stuff like this frustrates me. Can someone help me? Do I need to get certain backlinks? Is there a way to get my site and post to index faster? BTW the keywords i'm trying to rank for have websites that are brand spanking new some of them are blogspot websites. Most of them don't have a single backlink to them.

Duplicate content
Is there manual intervention required for a site that has been flagged for duplicate content to get back to its original rankings, once the duplicated content has been removed? Background: Our site recently experienced a significant drop in traffic around the time that a chunk of content from other sites (ie. duplicate) went live. While it was not an exact replica of the pages on other sites, there was quite a bit of overlap. That content has since been removed, but our traffic hasn't improved. What else can we do to improve our ranking?
