Any Suggestions For My Site?
-
I've recently started a website that is based on movie posters.
The site has fundamentally been built for users and not SEO but I'm wondering if anyone can see any problems or just general advice that may help with our SEO efforts?
The "content" on the website are the movie posters. I know Google likes text content, but I don't see what else we could add that wouldn't be purely for SEO.
My site is: http://www.bit.ly/ZSPbTA

What areas are going to need canonical? Also, what areas have www and non-www redirect problems?
Working on the rest as we speak.
-
i would start with your canonical issues
decide also if you want to keep your pagination pages indexed
your meta details need tweaking
you have some www and non www redirect problems
no meta robots
fix your sitemap
image alt tags
and few more
hope that helps

Change your posting name from Admin to your name, link it to your Google+ page and cross post to it.
Looking into this as we speak.
I would definitely include the word "movie" in the title of the post. When searching for Carrie, I'm more apt to search for "Carrie Movie".
Bam, implemented.
Also, Add more content to describe the movie poster. This is a movie poster DB, I can see a movie poster by doing a Google Search, what I want to see from you is your thoughts on it. How does it compare to previous versions of the movie? (Everything is a remake now-a-days). What makes it a good poster or a bad one? What fonts are used? Etc.
Good suggestions here. Will require extra thought as we have something like 1,000 posters already added and that's only 2013's posters.
Maybe include some Schema markup for things, here's some info about Schema and breadcrumbs.
Bam, implemented. Well, I think we've set it up correctly.

Great! Yes, it's a quick and easy fix. I also think Jared's suggestion of adding Structured Data markup is an excellent one.
-
Looks like we missed out the homepage ALT attributes. Good spotting. Will get that fixed.

I agree with you!

SEO => Add/Refine meta descriptions. More of a business suggestions--ever thought about earning affiliate revenue by linking to purchase of movie?

Good Clean Design.

ALT tags for images are OK, I might add title tags for the links.

Yes, there is something you can definitely do to help the SEO and the accessibility of your site. You need to write "alt" attributes for all of your images. Right now they all say the same thing "image description" - That's really bad. They should each be unique and describe the content of the image. This is the very first thing I would do, and the sooner the better.
Hope that helps!

Is it posible to improve site rankings working only with an other site?
Hi everyone, i´ll try to explain a situation is happening to me, i´m goint to try to explain the case (im writing the sites without links for explication purposes. Site 1: Adventurerooms Site 2: Adventureroomsmallorca Site 3: Adventureroomsmadrid (the new site) What happen is that at first there was only Adventurerooms and Adventureroomsmallorca, Adventurerooms was for Madrid and linked to the one in Mallorca too, was kind of giving the information for Madrid but in first page split with a link to Mallorca. In a new strategy we create Adventureroomsmadrid for Madrid, and leave Adventurerooms for Spain (with links to Adventureroomsmadrid and Adventureroomsmallorca. We redirect the info for Madrid in Adventurerooms to Adventureroomsmadrid with 301 redirections. We work during this 3 months in Adventureroomsmadrid making content in the blog, and improving (now Adventureroomsmadrid is Moz 15 (perhaps even more), and Adventurerooms is Moz 10. Surprising Adventurerooms is getting better in its search rankings, even when we took away content from it and even without working well. Adventureroomsmadrid is also improving but not as much as Adventurerooms (i know that is a new site, only 3 months), but Adventurerooms gets better results with no content and only DA of 10. I hope i´ve explain the case with my english so the question is: "Is it posible to improve site rankings working only with an other site?" Thanks in advance

New site. How important is traffic for a new site? And what about domain age?
Hi guys. I've been building a new site because i've seen a real SEO opportunity out there. I'm a mixing professional by trade and so I wanted to take advantage of SEO to help gain more work. Here's the site: www.signalchainstudios.co.uk I'm curious about domain age. This site fairly well optimised for my keywords, and my site got pretty good content on it (i think so anyway). But it's no where to be seen on the SERP's (link at all). Is this just a domain age issue? I'd have though it might be in the top 50 because my site's services are not hard to rank for at all! Also what about traffic? Does Google want to see an 'active' site before it considers 'promoting' it up the ranks? Or are back links and good content the main factor in the equation? Thanks in advance. I love this community to bits 🙂 Isaac.

Site not indexed in Google UK
This site was moved to a new host by the client a month back and is still not indexed in Google UK if you search for the site directly. www.loftconversionswestsussex.com Webmaster tools shows that 55 pages have been crawled and no errors have been detected. The client also tried the "Fetch as Google Bot" tactic in GWT as well as running a PPC campaign and the site is still not appearing in Google. Any thoughts please? Cheers, SEO5..

Site Structured Navigated by Cookies
Is it advisable to have a site structure that is navigated via URLs rather than cookies? In a website that has several location based pages - each with their own functions and information? Is this a SEO priority? Will it help to combat duplicate content? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Links from random sites: Disavow?
I am looking at the links to my site from GWT. I see a bunch of random sites I've never heard of. I never made an effort to get links from these sites. Sites like | http://www.xlx.pl | Also found one porn site! Should I just ignore these or disavow them?
