Followed seomoz advice for on page tweaks but dropped
-
Hi all
We followed seomoz advice regarding on-page tweaks for this page:
http://www.compactlaw.co.uk/agency-agreement.html
Dropped 10 places by Google UK.
Obviously could be a coincidence, but any on-page critique very gladly received.
(But also seem to have been dropped by Google across the board in the past week or so. Usual trouble of trying to find causes. But specific page advice would be a start and much appreciated.)
Regards

Anytime, feel free to add me to skype and twitter to ask for help if you need any!
Also feel free to mark my answer down as a "good answer"

Thanks again.
Very helpful

Yeah, use SEOMoz's very own Open Site Explorer. If you need help figuring it all out add me to Skype (Matt.GlassApple).
Try not to copy a competitors link profile though. While you may find a few useful places to get a link from by looking at competitors pages, they too might be using underhanded tactics.
-
Thanks for the advice.
We are going to delete them and work on external links.
Apologies for asking, but is there a way to find which sites link to a competitor website particular page?
For example which sites link direct to: www.our-competitor.com/agency-agreement.html
Hope that makes some sense.
Thanks again

Get rid of these sites or do something useful with them. These site-wide links will be hurting you and Google will easily be able to see that you own the domain.
If you must keep them, add a blog or something to them, get some unique content on them. Invite others to guest post and link to other places other than your own website. Make the page look natural. Only link back to your site every now and then, if at all.
-
You have no incoming links at all for that page from any external websites. Build some links up, make sure they are natural. If you ranked for this term before now then it was due to general site strength before the Penguin update. Obviously since the update you will have lost lots of shoddy links therefore dropped in domain authority - this looks like it is having an adverse effect on subsequent pages that seemed only to rank because the domain was strong.
-
Possible site-wide drop may be partly due to these specific domains that we own that point to our site. Found at the bottom of Open Site Explorer.
We have been told that Penguin update does not like these. All have very low domain authority.
Hmm...just found we also own "agency-agreements.co.uk"

Listing all services on one page vs separate pages per service
My company offers several generalized categories with more specific services underneath each category. Currently the way it's structured is if you click "Voice" you get a full description of each voice service we offer. I have a feeling this is shooting us in the foot. Would it be better to have a general overview of the services we offer on the "Voice" page that then links to the specified service? The blurb about the service on the overview page would be unique, not taken from the actual specific service's page.

Too Many On-Page Links
Ok so I am very new to MOZ, and we have just set up our PRO account and campaign. When we got our crawl results we had 4 pages with "too many on-page links". All of these pages correspond with our blog, which is a wordpress hosted blog that is integrated into our site. Our site is www.moxicopy.com and the blog is www.moxicopy.com/blog I am confused on how we have over 100 on page links on these pages, as we have very few links on our blog.

Should "contact" and "Privacy Policy" pages be no-followed?
I have a few pages like the contact and privacy policy page that I could really care less about as far as whether people visit them, or whether the search engines index them. They also don't have any sort of unique content on them... pretty much duplicates of what you'd probably find on hundreds of other websites. Would it be logical then to just nofollow those pages? I just don't know if maybe there's something hidden that I'm not thinking of. For example, maybe Google wants to see that your website has a privacy policy, and by excluding it, you're actually hurting yourself.

Why some pages are not indexed?
I have a furniture´s ecommerce. When searching for "site: movstore.com.br" returned 1080 results, but if I search for "site: movstore.com.br / Product" returned 1020 results. I mean, that 1080 indexed pages, 1020 are products pages and the other 60 pages are irrelevant. Where are the category pages? "site: movstore.com.br / Categories" - 0 results
