    hi

    i have rockshore.uk.com which is not indexing properly.

    the internal pages do not show up for the text they have on them, or the title tags.

    the site is on aekmps shops platform.

    I understand that a .uk.com is not a proper TLD but i think i have a subdomain of .uk.com

    Can anyone help?

    thanks

        I have no concerns with your having 149 links on a page. If you wish your pages to be listed, they need to be viewed as unique pages. To make that determination Google can view the entire page as a whole.

        One suggestion is to create a blank page with your normal sidebars, header and footer. Look at your SEOmoz Analysis tool Page Elements tab. Determine how much HTML text is present. Now go back to your page and see how much your page content has grown.

        There are no magic numbers to shoot for, but you should be conscious of your results. At the moment I see minimal content which is a concern. I also see that minimal content buried in a large amount of other text from your sidebars/header/footer which is duplicated throughout your site.

        I checked Google.uk for "Car Air Freshner" which seems to be the keyword focus of your page. I didn't see your listing in the top 50 results. My suggestions would be:

        • change your title to just "Car Air Freshner" or "Car Air Freshner | Rockshore"

        • if you can, try to use friendly URLs.

        • find a way to add quality content to your page.

          We have 149 internal links, which could be said to be a lot, but compared to many sites this is not a huge amount more.

          So if i put say 300-400 words of unique content on this page that woudl drop that % and threefore woudl solve the problem? what % should i aim for?

          Many E commerce sites dont have that amount of unique content on each page?

            If you enter that page into Google, it appears. That page is indexed in Google. It may not rank as well as you like, but it is indexed.

            http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=gsih&xhr=t&q=http://www.rockshore.uk.com/air-fresheners-201-c.asp&cp=52&pf=p&sclient=psy&site=&source=hp&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=http://www.rockshore.uk.com/air-fresheners-201-c.asp&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=27b93cf21cbb40b9&biw=1600&bih=733

            Taking a closer look at the page, it is clear why it will not rank well. There is very little unique content. Your sidebars are full of links and content which are consistent throughout your site. If you count the number of words in your sidebars, header and footer, then add to it the unique content you will find that ?85% of your content is duplicated with a small amount of unique content in between. These are not quality pages.

              HI

              the domain is rockshore.uk.com

              take a page

              http://www.rockshore.uk.com/air-fresheners-201-c.asp

              it is not coming up for the text ot the page, or the title tag.

              This is the case for most internal pages.

              i got told rockshore.uk.com is a subdomain of uk.com, and this might have something to do with the issues.

              The site ranks well in Bing and Yahoo

                It definitely wouldn't be the fact that it's a .uk.com that's causing the problem. No-one would ever use any other TLD's if it was only a few that got indexed.

                  What do you mean "uk.com" is not a proper TLD? There is nothing wrong with it. Your TLD does not affect your site being indexed.

                  Can you offer more specifics on the problem? Take one page and explain, in detail, how the search results are not matching your expectations.

                  Please provide the URL and the term you are searching for, along with the search engine used (i..e Bing? Google UK? etc)

                    Forwarding a .org domain to a .com domain: any negative impact to consider?

                    Hello! I have a question I've been unable to find a clear answer to. My client's primary domain is a .com with a satisfactorily high DA. My client owns the .org version of its domain (which has a very low DA, I suppose due to inactivity) but has never forwarded it on. For branding/visibility/traffic reasons, I'd like to recommend they set up the .org domain to forward to the .com domain, but I wanted to ask a few questions first: 1. Does forwarding low-value DA domains to high-value DA domains have any negative authority/SEO impact? 2. If the .org domain was to be forwarded, am I correct that an SSL cert is not necessary for it if the .com domain has an SSL cert? Thanks in advance!

                    Redirect typo domains

                    Hi, What's the "correct" way of redirecting typo domains? DNS A record goes to the same ip address as the correct domain name Then 301 redirects for each typo domain in the .htaccess Subdomains on typo urls still redirect to www or should they redirect to the subdomain on the correct url in case the subdomain exists?

                    Links from Instructables.com?

                    This is a silly newbie question.  But will posting on www.instructables.com with some valuable content and url link back to my site help with "linking"? Or do they put a no-follow on all links on their site? Thanks for answering! Ron

                    Moving from a .com to .co.uk

                    I need to migrate a wordpress site from domainname.com to domainname.co.uk. If I just put a 301 on every page on the .com will that cover it? Would it make sense to go and change all the backlinks/profile links to the new .co.uk site or doesn't it matter if you have a 301 redirect on it? Thanks

                    Umlaut in domain

                    Hi, My client wants to expand it's business to Germany and logically we need a domain name to match. We've found a great one and regsiterd several variants to it. However I just found out that in Germany it is possible (while here it's not) to register a domain with an umlaut. My question is: will google assign more value to: schädlinge.de than schadlinge.de when users search for schädlinge? If yes, how large will the difference be? (I will use an umlaut in the title etc) Kind regards,
                    Jason.

                    Subdomain and Domain Rankings

                    I have read here that domain names with keywords might add a boost to your search rank For instance using a completely inane example monkey-fights.com might get a boost compared to mfl.com (monkey fighting league)  when searching for "monkey fights" There seems to be a hot debate as to how much bonus the first domain might get over the second, but leaving that aside for the moment. Question 1. Would monkey-fights.mfl.com get the same kind of bonus as a root domain bonus? Question 2. If the answer to 1 above was yes would a 301 redirect from the suddomain URL to root domain URL retain that bonus I was just thinking on how hard it is to get root domains these days that are not either being squatted on etc. and if this might be a way to get the same bonus, or maybe subdomains are less bonus prone and so it would be a waste of time Thanks

                    Using hyphenated sub-domains or non-hyphenated sub-domains? What is the question! I Any takers?

                    For our corporate business level domain, we are exploring using a hyphenated sub-domain foir a project. Something like www.go-figure.extreme.com I thought from a user perspective it seems cluttered. The domain length might also be an issue with the new Algorithm big G has launched in recent past. I know with past experience, hyphenated domains usually take longer to index, as they are used by spammers more frequently and can take longer to get out of the supplementary index. Our company site has over 90 million viewers / year, so our brand is well established and traffic isn't an issue. This is for a corporate level project and I didn't have the answer! Will this work? anyone have any experience testing this. Any thoughts will help! Thanks, Rob
