Hi,
I have done alot of work over the past few weeks to fix errors but I seem to be slding down the rankings again!
I have attached a screenshot of the competitive link analysis. The 2nd competitor along is pushing past me and I just can't see why. What steps should I take and what is the priority?
Thanks,

Hi,
Thank-you, yes the book has been a big project, can't wait for the launch!
Thanks also for taking the time to research this. I have just used open site explorer, it is confusing as it states my page authority is 40, whilst the nearest competitor is 28.
I need to build links but I am not sure that leaving comments on blogs is helping. One thought I have had is to create a gallery with linked images to other websites that have images with me or my food. Do you think this might be give a big boost?
Thanks,
T23

Did you look at the anchor text distribution in open site explorer and compare yours to your competitors? and is the phrase you want to rank for "japanese cooking lessons"?
After a quick look I would say that since a lot of the links to your home page are anchored with your name and also no-follow, you just haven't built enough authority to rank where you want for the more general terms.
If you want people to find you for more local searches "Japanese cooking classes London" and those types, then I would try putting word London somewhere in your home page's title tag and see what happens. More customized title tags across the whole site would probably help you out too.
but i did about 7 mins of investigation, so take it with a grain of salt.
Your site's really nice by the way and congrats on the book!

Hi,
The domain is www.yukiskitchen.com. It is strange that moz rank and trust are higher than the competitor's but we are still being overtaken. The errors are all fixed already.
The only big difference i can see is the pie chart for followed v. no-followed links.
Thanks for your help,

Honestly it would be very hard to tell just based on that screenshot. Links are a quality over quantity thing so the numbers alone won't tell us much. By errors do you mean on-site errors? - duplicate content, missing metainfo, etc. Getting those taken care of should be a prerequisite, so sounds like your on the right track.
If you want to tell us the domains I might be able to be more helpful....Best of Luck!

I'm setting up my online store in wordpress/woocommerce and want to avoid duplicate content.
Hi Mozers, Apparently I'm using unique content in the short description area and it displays on the pages next to the product photo which is great how it is, but adding informational description repeating on every product page going to hurt us in SEO? A. See here an actual product - (flagged for thin content in OSE)

Will disallowing URL's in the robots.txt file stop those URL's being indexed by Google
I found a lot of duplicate title tags showing in Google Webmaster Tools. When I visited the URL's that these duplicates belonged to, I found that they were just images from a gallery that we didn't particularly want Google to index. There is no benefit to the end user in these image pages being indexed in Google. Our developer has told us that these urls are created by a module and are not "real" pages in the CMS. They would like to add the following to our robots.txt file Disallow: /catalog/product/gallery/ QUESTION: If the these pages are already indexed by Google, will this adjustment to the robots.txt file help to remove the pages from the index? We don't want these pages to be found.

Why my site it's not being indexed?
Hello.... I got to tell that I feel like a newbie (I am, but know I feel like it)... We were working with a client until january this year, they kept going on their own until september that they contacted us again... Someone on the team that handled things while we were gone, updated it´s robots.txt file to Disallow everything... for maybe 3 weeks before we were back in.... Additionally they were working on a different subdomain, the new version of the site and of course the didn't block the robots on that one. So now the whole site it's been duplicated, even it´s content, the exact same pages exist on the suddomain that was public the same time the other one was blocked. We came in changes the robots.txt file on both server, resend all the sitemaps, sent our URL on google+... everything the book says... but the site it´s not getting indexed. It's been 5 weeks now and no response what so ever. We were highly positioned on several important keywords and now it's gone. I now you guys can help, any advice will be highly appreciated. thanks Dan

Was anyone hit by BOTH the 'Phantom' update as well as Penguin 2.0?
I'm interested to know if Phantom was just a "pre-Penguin" 2.0 or if it was a completely different update. Thoughts?
