Whats your regular routine ? Can we learn new things from each other
-
I tend to work on the on page changes first of all following keyword research. Then take a look at some internal linking,
Setup a wordpress blog on /blog or sub domain and get my copywriter to start adding regular content .
Next stage is link building
Old fashioned emails requests, blog comments taking a look through existing sites we own for relevant places.
On going analysis once positions change.

Well, lets hope that when they sort the h1 issue, it goes higher still
I didn't check the source to look at the CMS, is it a custom CMS?
Re: it's existing rankings, although h1's are important, like most SEO triggers, they are just a part of the pie... if everything else is taken care of nicely, then rankings are still possible even without optimised h1 tags.
Oh, and thanks for taking the post the right way!

Hi no worries yeah I totally agree. The company that provides the CMS are making this possible soon.
I am still amazed this site is first page for mens skincare already.

Hi Just chipping in here, so hope it is welcomed, and you don't take offence!
http://www.dryhide.co.uk/ - the h1 tag is 'Home' Is this intentional? Would you not consider using a relevant phrase?
Hope you take the question as it is intended, helpful advice, and not a criticism!

Would you guys be open to share some examples of your work ? Here are a few of mine -
http://www.dryhide.co.uk and http://www.alfrescolivingonline.co.uk
Working on both of these at the moment would be cool to get any positive or negative (you can improve here) feedback.

I pretty much do the same for clients, but I also correct errors, add more headings where appropriate, add bold text subtitles (basically follow the SEOmoz guide). I also go social. I recommend Hootsuite.com to manage and analyze social media campaigns. It's been noted that Google likes fresh content, so keeping active on Twitter, Facebook, forums, etc. does count. Starting a newsletter helps with inbound traffic, too.
I also take it offline. Getting the word out in mailings, ads, posters, etc. with your website address or a qr code makes things fun and does increase traffic. Hold events, participate in gatherings, join clubs, etc. to get the word out. If you have the budget and it's relevant to your business, building a mobile app for all smartphone platforms will get you an application page and inbound links to your site on very high ranking sites.
Oh there is so much more. I'll post again when I get a second wind.

Go out to the SERPs looking for the best content for a group of keywords that I want to write about.
Decide if I can beat the best content out there. If "yes" the project moves forward.
Spend a few days to a couple of weeks working on the content.
Toss up the finished content being sure that it has a good title tag and social share buttons.
Write a blog post about the new content, add links to the new content at appropriate locations on our site.
Back out to the SERPs looking at content for another set of keywords.

Can a .ly domain rank in the United States?
Hello members. I have a question that I am seeking to confirm whether or not I am on the right track. I am interested in purchasing a .ly domain which is the ccTLD for Libya. The purpose of the .ly domain would be for branding purposes however at the same time I do not want to kill the websites ability to rank in Google.com (United States searches) because of this domain. Google does not consider .ly to be one of those generic ccTLDs like. io, .cc, .co, etc. that can rank and Bitly has also moved away from the .ly extension to a .com extension. Back in 2011 when there was unrest in Lybia, a few well known sites that utilized the .ly extension had their domains confiscated such as Letter.ly, Advers.ly and I think Bitly may have been on that list too however with the unrest behind us it is possible to purchase a .ly so being able to obtain one is not an issue. From what I can tell, I should be able to specify in Google Search Console that the website utilizing the .ly extension is a US based website. I can also do this with Google My Business and I will keep the Whois info public so the whois data can been seen as a US based website. Based on everything I just said do any of you think I will be OK if I were to register and use the .ly domain extension and still be able to rank in Google.com (US Searches). Confirmation would help me sleep better. Thanks in advance everyone and have a great day!!

Pages that did NOT 301 redirect to the new site
Hi, Is there a tool out there that can tell me what pages did NOT 301 redirect to the new sites? I need something rather than going into google.com and typing in site:oldsite.com to see if it's still indexed and if it's not 301 redirecting.. I'm not sure if screaming frog can do that. Thanks.

How can such a small company out-rank the big players?
I'm really puzzled how for many keywords the company www.leathersofaworld.com, a retailer of sofas is able to out rank very large companies such as DFS.co.uk and IKEA. They rank 1st for the phrase 'black leather sofas' and have done for a long time. They currently rank 4th for 'leather sofas' and don't seem to move. Having looked at their back links, I can't see anything special and their domain authority is only 25 compared to DFS which is 45. Can anyone help me with this?

Can videos be considered duplicate content?
I have a page that ranks 5 and to get a rich snippet I'm thinking of adding a relevant video to the page. Thing is, the video is already on another page which ranks for this keyword... but only at position 20. As it happens the page the video is on is the more important page for other keywords, so I won't remove it. Will having the same video on two pages be considered a duplicate?

New, Used, Refurbished Ecommerce Products
I'm in a situation where I am trying to improve an ecommerce site that sells about 10-15 products, and a few variations of each. My main headache is coming from the fact that we sell New, used, and refurbished products that are often overlapping. I'm not really sure if I am categorizing the products/structuring the site the best possible way. Here is an example that shows the current structure of the site: New Fruits
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | heroiceric
--> Bananas
----> Banana Model 1
----> Banana Model 2
--> Apples
----> Apple Model 1
----> Apple Model 2
--> Oranges
----> Orange Model 1
----> Orange Model 2 Refurbished Fruits --> Bananas
----> Refurbished Banana
--> Apples
----> Refurbished Apple
--> Oranges
----> Refurbished Orange The business, however, specializes in the refurbished models because they make significantly more money for each one that is sold. Because of this, it's way more important to get the refurbished models ranking up for the terms. I've been struggling to get good results from my SEO efforts and I think that this strange site structure could be holding me back. Would it make sense for me to use canonical on the "New Fruits" pages, pointing toward the "Refurbished Fruits" pages? Should I be trying to build links to the category pages or the actual product pages. IE: To "Refurbished Fruits --> Bananas" rather than "Refurbished Fruits --> Bananas --> Refurbished Banana?"0 -
New AddThis URL Sharing
So, AddThis just added a cool feature that attempts to track when people share URL's via cutting and pasting the address from the browser. It appears to do so by adding a URL fragment on the end of the URL, hoping that the person sharing will cut and paste the entire thing. That seems like a reasonable assumption to me. Unless I misunderstand, it seems like it will add a fragment to every URL (since it's trying to track all of 'em). Probably not a huge issue for the search engines when they crawl, as they'll, hopefully, discard the fragment, or discard the JS that appends the fragment. But what about backlinks? Natural backlinks that someone might post to say, their blog, by doing exactly what AddThis is attempting to track - cutting and pasting the link. What are people's thoughts on what will happen when this occurs, and the search engines crawl that link, fragment included?

Can I use the same source for two different websites?
I have developed a successful portal based website but would like to grow my portfolio of sites by expanding into new niches and sectors. I would like to use the same source code to fast track new sites but I'm not sure of the dangers involved. Content, meta details etc. will all be unique and the only similarity will be the html code. Another example of how I want to use this is that my current site targets the UK but I want to target a global market with a .com domain and this would involve using the same source. Is this possible without a penalty or am I overlooking something?
