What am I missing?
-
So I've been killing myself with learning seo. My site has every type of markup and I feel that I have run out of ways to optimize my site. If anyone has any recommendations, it would be enormously appreciated.

Get the demo version of screaming frog, run a crawl and you'll find nearly everything I mentioned above.

Oh wow okay, I'll get right on this. I didn't know that about the meta keywords. Thank you very much. Is there anything else that you noticed? Can you tell me any of the pages that has two canoicals? I can't seem to find one.
Again, thank you.

*** Your canonical links are busted. This is probably doing a lot of harm - make this priority #1.**
*** Some of your pages have TWO canonicals as well - and at least one of those is busted in each case, too. **
-
Meta keywords are (usually) a negative ranking factor, especially when repeated or duplicate across many pages. I would suggest removing all (or the vast majority) of these.
-
Some pages have two H1 tags and often duplicate H1s.
-
You have a parameter "devicelock" that isn't really working the way you would want. You also don't have a robots.txt file telling Google & googlebot mobile which version of each page you want them to index.
-
There are broken links all over the site including to pages such as:
http://www.j-26.com/phone/“http://www.j-26.com/contact-us.html”
This problem with quotes is the same one you have in canonicals - major issues there.

I have a metadata issue. My site crawl is coming back with missing descriptions, but all of the pages look like site tags (i.e. /blog/?_sft_tag=call-routing)

I think that Google incorrectly flagged my href lang return tags as missing. What do I do?
Hi there SEOs and other respected online marketing enthusiasts! Since a short while Google Webmaster Tools is flagging my href lang return tags as missing. However, these tags are available in the html and there should be no issue whatsoever. I often see other bogus flags raised by Google but this one is bothering us in particular. This is the code that we use for all our 18 languages: All pages link to all other languages variables. Is there something I'm missing? Or is it just an error on Google's site - and if so, how do I flag it as fixed? href lang no return tag incorrectly error in webmaster tools

Wordpress site, MOZ showing missing meta description but pages do not exist on backend
I've got a wordpress website (a client) and MOZ keeps showing missing meta descriptions. When I look at the pages these are nonsense pages, they do exist somewhere but I am not seeing them on the backend. Questions: 1) how do I fix this? Maybe it's a rel con issue? why is this referring to "non-sense" pages? When I go to the page there is nothing on it except maybe an image or the headline, it's very strange. Any input out there I greatly appreciate. Thank you

Big hit to traffic a while ago, and slow recovery. Is there anything we've missed?
www.movehub.com We took a big hit to our organic traffic when we implemented an HTML form which included a list of every country in the world, twice. This rolled out onto every page on our website. And it got indexed by Google (webmaster tools showed our content keywords as being those from the form occurring 9000+ times on the site) We've fixed this and the content keywords are back to normal, however our traffic has not yet fully recovered. Is there anything on our site that you think could be sending spam signals to Google, or could be impeding our organic traffic growth?

Novice Question - Can Browsers realistically distinguish words within concatenated strings e.g. text55fun or should one use text-55-fun? What about foreign languages especially more obscure ones like Finnish which Google Translate often miss-translates?
I am attempting to understand what is realistically possible within Google, Yahoo and Bing as they search websites for KeyWords. Technically my understanding is that they should be able to distinguish common words within concatenated strings, although there can be confusion between word boundaries when ambiguity is involved. So in the simple example of text55fun, do search engines actually distinguish text, 55 and fun separately? There are practical processing, databased and algorithm limitations that might turn a technically possible solution into a unrealistic one at a commercial scale. What about more ambiguous strings like stringsstrummingstrongly would that be parsed as string s strummings trongly or strings strummings trongly or strings strumming strongly? Does one need to use dashes or underscores to make it unambiguous to the search engine? My guess is that the engine would recognize the dash or space and better understand the word boundaries yet ignore the dash or underscore from an overall concatenated string perspective. Thanks in advance to whoever can provide any insight to an old coder who is new to this field.

Missing Suite Number on Google
I realized that we are missing a suite number. It is not on the website or the recently updated Google/Bing/Yahoo revisions I did. Should I go and fix? Or should I go and adjust old listings. Does a suite number matter in the NAP?

Trying to fill in the missing gaps
The missing gaps are optimisation opportunities I have missed with my site.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Hughescov
I have managed to optimise the site a great deal from what it was, with a new site design and better architecture and focusing on all the on page SEO.
The only problem being it doesn't seem to be an easy market to create links through or find interesting places to guest post or interact on blogs. The site is https://perco.co.uk I would be grateful if anyone could give me an overview on the site and their thoughts? Cheers0 -
5th Reconsideration Request, Have i missed anything...
Hi Guys, I wonder if any of you can help me out.I'll be shortly submitting another reconsideration request to Google.I've been working on removing bad / spammy links to our site http://goo.gl/j7OpL over the past 6 months and so far every reconsideration request I have submitted has been knocked back with the following message:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear site owner or webmaster of http://goo.gl/j7OpL , We received a request from a site owner to reconsider http://goo.gl/j7OpL for compliance with Google's Webmaster Guidelines. We've reviewed your site and we still see links to your site that violate our quality guidelines . Specifically, look for possibly artificial or unnatural links pointing to your site that could be intended to manipulate PageRank. Examples of unnatural linking could include buying links to pass PageRank or participating in link schemes . We encourage you to make changes to comply with our quality guidelines. Once you've made these changes, please submit your site for reconsideration in Google's search results. If you find unnatural links to your site that you are unable to control or remove, please provide the details in your reconsideration request. If you have additional questions about how to resolve this issue, please see our Webmaster Help Forum for support. Sincerely, Google Search Quality Team ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've removed over 70% of all our links - we had some large sitewide links on big sites with exact match anchor text to our main money keyword, I've also removed a large link network that our previous SEO company setup. Today I have completed an overhaul of all our internal links, near enough every blog post that we added to the site had a link back to the home page with an exact match money keyword. 1 thing that I did notice was when we got hit by the penalty it didn't affect every keyword we target just our main / most competitive keyword, yes some of our other keywords took a dip in rankings but not as much as our main keyword. When I submit our next reconsideration request I'll also attach a spreadsheet of links that I can't remove either because I can't find any contact details / blocked by whois or I'm just not getting a response when I email them. If anyone can point out anything else that I have missed or might have missed that would be great. Thanks, Scott
