Break in H1 tag - big, small or no problem?
-
Hi, I've just taken on a new ski client who offers ski instructor courses. The landing page for the keyword [ski instructor courses] was created by the web agency but with no heading tags...
http://www.snowrehab.com/ski-instructor-courses
Subsequently they've put them in but I've noticed the H1 tag has a break in it where 'ski' is on a separate line to 'instructor courses'
Is this an issue that need to be addressed?
Also I can't look up the page in the Moz on-page grader - any ideas why?
Many thanks!
Richard

Thank you Keri for coming back to clarify the situation.
Richard, here's a useful link you may want that can help you fixing the error 406.
Hope it helps.
Good luck.

It looks like rogerbot is getting a 406 Not Acceptable response when he tries to crawl the URL. At this point, there's not much we could do on our end, it's more a case of getting things fixed by your developer or hosting provider.

Hi Keri, I'm getting 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible.'
Any help appreciated - thanks!

Can you tell me what you're seeing when you try to look it up in the on-page grader? Are you getting an error of any type?

Hi Richard,
There's no problem with the br tag on your headline. You can install Moz's plugin for Chrome. It's very handy for analysing how robots read your site. Using this tool, under Page Elements you'll see your headline.
Also, I saw you are using Meta Keywords which are useless. You can remove them.
Kraig, I think you are a little bit confused about meta robots. That tag is fine.
Cheers.

I've just done a little more looking into it, and it turns out that the page with the tag on it is the one that you don't want the crawler to index (which makes more sense)
Google do note that pages can still appear in search results due to a lag time between crawls.
I still think though that is is what could be stopping Moz from crawling the site however, though Roger's just doing what he's told
-
Kraig,
I'd be interested in seeing more about what you're saying regarding the robots meta line. It's specific to each particular page, and doesn't mean to not crawl other pages. Google does currently have a couple of hundred pages indexed from that site right now.

Hi Richard
I inspected the markup of your site code and found that in your there is the meta tag
I'd suggest removing this, as this will tell crawlers to only index the first page of your site. Which I doubt is what you want.
As for the multi-line keywords, I think you should be okay. Once Moz can crawl your site you can use the On Page Grading tool to see whether it picks up the keywords in the H1 tags.
Hope this helps, Kraig.

Sitelinks problem
Hello, I have a problem with the sitelinks on my website. Google keeps adding pages that don't belong in the sitelinks, but need to be indexed. Is there a way in which I can specify to the bot which section of the website, not to add in the sitelinks.

Using display: none in h1 tag
Hello, For the h1 tag on my landing page, I currently have 'Welcome to Edison Ford'. I was thinking of adding the keyword I'm targeting (property maintenance bristol) to the h1 tag which would look like this 'Welcome to Edison Ford Property Maintenance Bristol' Would it be a good idea to wrap the property maintenance bristol part in a span tag and add 'display: none;' to the styling? Thanks in advance.

Am I cannabalizing my title tags or is there a better way?
I've read some info about title tags and meta, and I'm getting a little confused. If there is a previous discussion that I've missed, please redirect me. thank you. So I have a locksmith and one of his pages is on Auto Locksmith. For every car, I have a page. i.e Acura, Audi, BMW etc. Here is my title tag: Acura Car Keys| Ignition Switch Repair| Key Duplication BMW Car Keys| Ignition Switch Repair| Key Duplication Same for the rest of the different car models on the site. I previously asked a question on here about "What is Cannibalization", and after reading the answer, as well as a full article about it, I think I may be potentially cannibalizing my site with these title tags, though my SEO Moz has not indicated that I am. Should my title tags be instead... Acura car keys| Acura Ignition Switch Repair| Acura Key Duplication for each vehicle page? Additionally, all the Meta Descriptions on each vehicle page read the same as well. Is this correct? We duplicate Acura car keys, repair ignition switches, extract broken keys, replace remotes, reprogram transponder keys and provide emergency locksmith srvc. Lastly, this is for a city, yet I have not placed the city modifier in my tags nor content. Somehow it knows what city I'm in because some of my pages are ranking on Page 1, however other pages are ranking like #188, #257...So I'm just confused. Thanks for any help you can provide. Jaye

Confused about meta tags.
(Ok, this might be a stupid question.) I am a little confused about the best practice for the Meta Tag. I know they don't have a real effect on ranking. But I am getting "mixed signals" as to their general use. I've pasted the 2 examples of below that are confusing me. From my Campaign's Crawl Diagnostics: (I have missing Meta Tags) "Meta description tags, while not important to search engine rankings, are extremely important in gaining user click-through from search engine result pages (SERPs). These short paragraphs are the webmaster's opportunity to advertise content to searchers and let them know exactly what the given page has with regard to what they're looking for" From The Keyword Optimization Tool: (Avoid Using Meta Keyword Tool) "Search engines have, for years, ignored the meta keywords tag as a ranking signal. Although it technically does not harm rankings, it can be used by competitors as a method to extract your targeted terms and thus, we recommend against its use. " I would love to hear opinions on this topic. I am trying to decide wether or not to use unique meta tags on every blog post.
