on page SEO is overdone
<title>**Asia** Travel, **Asia** Flights, **Asia** Hotels, **Asia** Airlines at **Asia**.comtitle> <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">keywords</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">**asia** maps, airlines to **asia**, flights to **asia**, hotels from **asia**, travel to **asia**, **asia**.com, hotels,airlines, airways</a>" /> One instance only of Asia in the title tag, lose the meta keywords completely they are useless and yours are spammy. also look at the sitewide linking. Way too many instances of "flights" in this menu. Put flights at the top of the menu and then just the locations below without "flights" in ever single link
<a class="attribute-value">Asia.com</a>">Bangladesh Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/China" >China Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Hong-Kong" >Hong Kong Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/India" >India Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Indonesia" >Indonesia Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Japan" >Japan Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Nepal" >Nepal Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Pakistan" >Pakistan Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Philippines" >Philippines Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Singapore" >Singapore Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/South-Korea" >South Korea Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Sri-Lanka" >Sri Lanka Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Taiwan" >Taiwan Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Thailand" >Thailand Flightsa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-country-info/Vietnam" >Vietnam Flightsa> span> div> <div class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_box_col_1</a>"> <span class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_list</a>"> <b>Chinab> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Beijing" >Flights to Beijinga> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Guangzhou" >Flights to Guangzhoua> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Hong-Kong" >Flights to Hong Konga> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Taipei" >Flights to Taipeia> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Tianjin" >Flights to Tianjina> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Shanghai" >Flights to Shanghaia> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Shenyang" >Flights to Shenyanga> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Wuhan" >Flights to Wuhana> span> div> <div class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_box_col_1</a>" > <span class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_list</a>" > <b>Indiab> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Bangalore" >Flights to Bangalorea> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Calcutta" >Flights to Calcuttaa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Chennai" >Flights to Chennaia> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/New-Delhi" >Flights to New Delhia> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Goa" >Flights to Goaa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Hyderabad" >Flights to Hyderabada> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Mumbai" >Flights to Mumbaia> span> <span class="<a class="attribute-value">sub_menu_list</a>" > <b>Japanb> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Osaka" >Flights to Osakaa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Tokyo" >Flights to Tokyoa> <a href="http://www.asia.com/flights-city-info/Yokohama" >Flights to Yokohamaa>

Hi Michael Do you think you could expand on your question at all? What are the subdomain problems you indicated? What do you want to rank for? How do you rank at present? If you could flesh your question out I am sure you will receive some good advice for making improvements. Marcus

Questions about backlinks in wikipedia
Hi I read some articles about Wikipedia links but most of them were talking about how to get links from Wikipedia and no one says about its benefits! We all know that Wikipedia backlinks are nofollow and in most of the articles in Wikipedia, users don't click on the link! So it doesn't pass visitors so nofollow links don't pass the authority. But because this website has trustworthy links, might effect on serp. In your experience does Wikipedia links effect on serp? What grade you will give to this kind of links between one and 100? Between edu, gov, wiki and such this important links which one is more important? I will be glad if you share your experience.

Google asking questions in SERPs
I just did s search for Hayley Kiyoko, and Google asked me which song is my favourite from her new album. Is this a new thing? I've never asked Google a question before and had it ask me something back, other than "did you mean... (the correct spelling for what I was looking for)?" u6qYnwq.png

Ctr question with home page and product pages
do you believe that the advantage of targeting a search term on the home page is now worse off than before? as I understand it ctr is a big factor now And as far as i can see if two pages are equal on page etc the better ctr will win out, the issue with the home page is the serp stars cannot be used hence the ctr on a product page will be higher? I feel if you where able to get a home page up quicker (1 year instead of two) you still lost out in the end due to the product page winning on ctr? do you think this is correct?

International foreign language SEO questions
I'm looking to add some foreign language pages to a website and have a lot of international SEO questions. I think the overall question is can you do SEO yourself if you are a native English speaker for a language you don't speak (like Chinese)? 1. How do you go about doing keyword research for a foreign language? What tools are available? 2. How do you know what search engines you should optimize for in a different country? And where can you find the technical SEO requirements for each? I'm wondering things like title tag length for Baidu. Or is the Title length different for Yahoo Japan vs. US? Do you write titles and meta tags in Chinese/Japanese for respective countries? Etc.

Dumb International SEO question?
Buongiorno from 18 degrees C Wetherby UK... Client asks - "My swedish site is http://www2.kingspanpanels.se/ how important is having the swedish suffix in the url with regards to rankings in Sweden?" I find these questions really challenging, its like the Hey if i change this url my SEO problems will be fixed, as if its that easy. So my question is - "How weighted is the url suffix / ccTLD in terms of SEO success for a territory / country" Put another way "If the swedish suffix .se was removed would it impact rankings in any way in Sweden?" Grazie tanto,

VRL Parameters Question - Exclude? or use a Canonical Tag?
I'm trying to figure something out, as I just finished my "new look" to an old website. It uses a custom built shopping cart, and the system worked pretty well until about a year when ranking went down. My primary traffic used to come from top level Brand pages. Each brand gets sorted by the shopping cart and a Parameter extension is added... So customers can click Page 1 , Page 2 , Page 3 etc. So for example : http://www.xyz.com/brand.html , http://www.xyz.com/brand.html?page=1 , http://www.xyz.com/brand.html?page=2 and so on... The page= is dynamic, therefore the page title, meta's, etc are the same, however the products displayed are different. I don't want to exclude the parameter page= completely, as the products are different on each page and obviously I would want the products to be indexed. However, at the same time my concern is that have these parameters might be causing some confusion an hence why I noticed a drop in google rankings. I also want to note - with my market, its not needed to break these pages up to target more specific keywords. Maybe using something like this would be the appropriate measure?

SEO Budgets, the million dollar question???
Hi All, I am currently looking to revamp my SEO strategy inline with Google's latest Panda and Penguin updates, and looking to appoint a new agency. With SEO changing so much over the years and so many players in the marketplace quoting all sorts, I simply need to determine the kind of money I need to be spending on my SEO, 2) what i should be getting for the money, or different budget levels what I need to be focusing on in priority order, a top ten in sorts Should i be looking to increase or decrease my spend over the long term. I am only a small business with a turnover of about 50 - 80k and need to really cement my strategy so it work long term but also shows a steady return. I have one guy quoting $99 a month, one £250 and one £750, you can probably see my problem. Thanks in advance.

Question about Local / Regional SEO
Good Morning Moz Community, I have a local SEO/regional SEO question. I apologize if this question is duplicated from another area on this forum but, a query of the term Regional SEO showed no results, as did similar queries. Please preference this entire question with "Knowing what we know about the most recent changes to local search" I know what has worked in the past, my concern is Now. Working with a heavily regulated client that is regional, mostly East Coast US. They are in Financial Services and state licensing is a requirement. They are licensed in 15 states. Obviously, it would look foolish, in this day in age, to Title Tag individual pages with local modifiers and have numerous pages covering a similar topic with not much difference than localized modifiers in front of the keyword. I've never found that SE's can understand broad regional terms such as New England or Mid Atlantic or Southeast or Northeast, if someone knows different please share. Aside from an exact match search. The client does have 7 offices in various states. Perfectly matching and consistent listings in G Places, Bing Local and Yahoo Local was step one and all their locations are now in those services and there are many more smaller local citation listings are in the works. We have also successfully implemented a plan to generate great reviews from actual customers, for each location, they're receiving a few a day right now. Their local places listings, where they have physical locations, are doing very well but: 1. What would the community's suggestion be on generating more targeted traffic in the 8 states where they have no physical location? 2. The client wants to begin creating smaller blogs that are highly localized to the states and major population centers that they do not have a physical location in. There is an open check book to dedicate to this effort however, I do a lot of work in this industry so I want to offer the best possible, most up to date advice, my concern is that these efforts will have two results: a. be obscured by the ”7 pack" by companies with local brick and mortar b. would detract from the equity built in their existing blog by generating content in other domains, I would prefer to continue growing the main blog. 3. As a follow up, it has been documented that Google is now using the same algorithm for local, personal and personalized, that being the case, is there any value in building links to you Places page? Can you optimize your Places page by using the same off site techniques as you would traditionally? Sorry to kill you with such a long question on a Sunday 🙂
