Review of on page SEO - Please help

Hi
I am new to SEOmoz but can see a lot of great information going back and forth. I am looking for a little help with the SEO on our site and looking for suggestions on what to do to improve it. We have some pages where we aggregate content from our database such as this:
http://www.touristlink.com/india/nagpur/cat/temples.html
It would seem that "Temples in Nagpur" is not that competitive of a term but we dont show up until page 4. Any on page suggestions on what we could do to improve? Or any mistakes we are making.
All the content on the site is fairly new as in 6 months even though the site has been established and online for a number of years. We have not done any specific linking building for the term "Temples in Nagpur"
Any suggestions on the overall structure of the site would also be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi Brad,
Thanks for spending the time on the review and giving some specific advice. We will definitely try a pinterest page and also rewriting the meta descriptions. Obviously the descriptions are auto-generated but I am sure we can them read a little better so it does not sound like the encyclopaedia.

Hi David,
Just a few little pointers:
- Add a Pinterest 'Pin It' button to your site. You've got some interesting images on there, let users be able to pin them easily directly from your site.
- The tourirst/travel niche seems ideal for Pinterest, so as well as point 1 above, create a Pinterest page and start sharing images of your favourite travel spots, people travelling etc
- Create a Google Plus page and start posting
- Your page titles are very basic - for that page it's just "Temples in Nagur". Try adding some secondary terms.
- Likewise your meta descriptions are pretty boring - they don't really inspire me to visit the page: "TouristLink features 7 temples in Nagpur. The most popular temples in Nagpur are Koradi Temple, Shri Vyankatesh Temple and Ramtek Temple. Also of intertest are Ganesh Tekdi, Dhapewada Vithoba Temple and Adasa Ganpati Temple." - I'd rewrite these.
- There's no external links to this page - http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.touristlink.com%2Findia%2Fnagpur%2Fcat%2Ftemples.html - develop some great content and get some links!
Thanks,
Brad

The great idea is to use the SEOmoz on-page Analysis tool and you will have the patter idea of how page is working in terms of on-page optimization.
But in a single go I noticed few thing that you should consider changing like internal linking, you add 4 to 5 internal links in a 5 lines of content.. Try to reduce down to 1 at max.
Content is not interesting, try to add quality content that should be loved by users and search engine.

How long will old pages stay in Google's cache index. We have a new site that is two months old but we are seeing old pages even though we used 301 redirects.
Two months ago we launched a new website (same domain) and implemented 301 re-directs for all of the pages. Two months later we are still seeing old pages in Google's cache index. So how long should I tell the client this should take for them all to be removed in search?

Is Paging Comments SEO Friendly? Implications?
So glad to be here. Just amazed to see so many discussions over here. I had a quick query. One of our my blog has more than 500 comments on almost 50+ posts (and in some posts, it's even 1000+ comments). This impacts the load time as well as the experience on mobile. So, wanted to understand if I enable pagination of comments, is it SEO friendly. Does it negatively impacts SEO? I do not want to take the route of migrating to Disqus, FB comments, etc.

Putting "noindex" on a page that's in an iframe... what will that mean for the parent page?
If I've got a page that is being called in an iframe, on my homepage, and I don't want that called page to be indexed.... so I put a noindex tag on the called page (but not on the homepage) what might that mean for the homepage? Nothing? Will Google, Bing, Yahoo, or anyone else, potentially see that as a noindex tag on my homepage?

Ecommerce SEO - Indexed product pages are returning 404's due to product database removal. HELP!
Hi all, I recently took over an e-commerce start-up project from one of my co-workers (who left the job last week). This previous project manager had uploaded ~2000 products without setting up a robot.txt file, and as a result, all of the product pages were indexed by Google (verified via Google Webmaster Tool). The problem came about when he deleted the entire product database from our hosting service, godaddy and performed a fresh install of Prestashop on our hosting plan. All of the created product pages are now gone, and I'm left with ~2000 broken URL's returning 404's. Currently, the site does not have any products uploaded. From my knowledge, I have to either: canonicalize the broken URL's to the new corresponding product pages, or request Google to remove the broken URL's (I believe this is only a temporary solution, for Google honors URL removal request for 90 days) What is the best way to approach this situation? If I setup a canonicalization, would I have to recreate the deleted pages (to match the URL address) and have those pages redirect to the new product pages (canonicalization)? Alex

Can a home page penalty cause a drop in rankings for all pages?
All my main keywords have dropped out of the SERPS. Could it be that the home page (the strongest) page has been devalued and therefore 'link juice' that used to spread throughout the site is no longer doing so. Would this cause all other pages to drop? I just can't understand how all my pages have lost rankings. The site is still indexed so there's no problem there.

Does a page on a site with high domain authority build page authority easier? i.e. less inbound links?
Is this also why people build backlinks to their BBB profiles, Yellowpages Profiles, etc. i.e. why do people build backlinks to other pages that link to them? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to just build that backlink directly to your target?
