Welcome to the Q&A Forum

As previously said don't waste your time and efforts the only folk it helps is your competitor, as you would put your most valuable keyword/phrases at the beginning of that tag ,there you go your competitor now knows what your aiming for.

I physically tried a with and without the keyword tag and I have to admit my webpage without keywords ranked just as well if not slightly better for the same keyword.

If you are using a CMS, surely there would be a tag field that can be utilized better than the keyword field.

Recently I heard Google virtually dropping the description tag for seo scoring? and it takes the data off the page, however one of my clients description is just pulling a url rather than any content from the page. is there some way thats ethical to suggest a description to google?

We currently have our own wordpress blog on our site using wordpress, is it worth while having others such as blogspot, tumblr etc for seo purposes?

Or would I be wasting my time and efforts?

thank you, I always forget about Majestic. I am currently checking the directories manually. and at present I do not have access to webmaster tools. I will give Majestic a go thanks

thank you is there any way of showing every backlink?

Thank you, yes I would prefer to un hide it rather than remove it. I may have to rewrite the content and repost it back on the page.

thank you that has helped me make a start on the home.

As per my previous post regarding my new client. I am dissecting all the previous seo companies docs and basically there are hundreds of directory listings on paper however site explorer does not show any.

my question is this does site explorer not list directories site or are they worthless?

I did locate it be a link directly under the All rights reserved text. I would most likely say its being deceptive as it can its mainly there for the search engines rather than the customers?

Do you think its valuable to remove this?

Sorina thank you for you reply. appreciate it. as I say its a new client so getting to grips with it, can I ask how you found the content was hidden and in the footer? but yes I would agree if hidden in the footer then that is an issue.

Agree with Baldea, I try and keep home pages as the overview for an entire company or subject, then lets say internal products will be optimised for the actual product listed, so they rank individually for that search term and are displayed on a plate in front of the viewer. try and keep the visitors navigation down to a minimum, thus more chance of conversion.

If your home is the only one ranking for the chosen keywords, it could look like stuffing, Google scoring less for said product/service and visitor is most likely looking for an actual product/service rather than an overview which ends in a high bounce rate.

All internal pages would have the chosen product keyword(s), keywords hold first word presence in the title.

for example I would most likely use "Antifouling Paint, fight the barnacles with Teamac Antifouling paint"

hope this helps

I have a client who said they are black listed and they do not come up for any search query other than their name.

I have done what I would expect to find the issues, like hurtful backlinks, poor coding etc however the code is fine, yes backlinks are a little slim.

They have also said Penguin hit them hard last year.

I am confused with this one as I have worked with clients who got hit by penguin and they improved but this particular client has not.

http://www.specialistpaintsonline.co.uk is the website, and if anyone can shed some light as I may be missing something head on.
