Have I missed anthing On this website?
-
Hello SEO MOzzers, I am today wanting your feedback on a site that I recently went live with. My Google rankings for the main keywords are doing very well considering the site has been live for 3 weeks now. I of course have a list of items that i'm still working on, completing meta description tags, title tags, adding copy content to category pages, updating h1 tags, working on our backlinking campaign, etc.
Is there anthing any of you SEO Mozzers can see that I may have missed? the web domain is www.carbodypanels4u.co.uk
Keywords
"body Panels"
"car body panels"
"Car Make body panels"
"Car make Model body panel"Im sure you get the gist of the keyword structure.
Your feedback is much appreciated as always.

Thanks for your reply and sugestions.
I was holding back a little on the URL naming conventions to prevent canonablising
i.e
www.carbodypanels4u.co.uk/carmake-body-panels for all 45 makes listed and then also
www.carbosypanels4u.co.uk/carmake/model/carmake-model-body-panels
Anyone searching for "subaru car body panels, i want them to land on the category page and anyone else that is searching for the actual product in question, finds the deep page.
We are adding another image to each category page and also adding 1-2 paragraphs on the car and a specs section that talks about the part in question.
The category pages are in fact the goal pages, we will of course optimize the category pages but do you think we need to change the url structure to
http://www.carbodypanels4u.co.uk/daihatsu/daihatsu-charade-car-body-panels
from
http://www.carbodypanels4u.co.uk/daihatsu/daihatsu-charade
Thank for your input Brian.

Overall you've done a very good job. I would carefully examine the on-page alignment of your page title, URL, and keywords. For example, on this page:
http://www.carbodypanels4u.co.uk/subaru/subaru-legacy
The URL is the general car name, and then on the page itself you use the full phrase you want to rank for "...body panels". The title matches the URL well. There is little actual text on the page though about the subject. Your deeper pages are well aligned for the specific keywords around them, like this one.
I guess the question that I would have in return for yours is: Is that the page that you want to have rank for "Subaru Legacy Body Panels"? If so, just make sure that you've aligned the tags and elements properly. If not, what is the ideal page to rank for that keyword phrase? Is there a better example of your goal page? Make sure that those mid-level pages are very tightly optimized for the goal phrase and consider putting some relevant content on them. For example, you could include information on the vehicle in question, including production information, statistics, and technical information that people might be searching for when repairing their vehicles.

Merge separate corporate website and online shop ?
Currently we have a corporate website with general information about a women fashion brand: domain.ae. This domain has general information about the brand, and links to a blog: domain.ae/blog and an online shop: shop.domain.ae There are much fewer links to the shop compared to the corporate site. In google, often the corporate domain ranks for keywords that would be more relevant to the online shop. I am therefore considering merging the two sites, by basically having the shop on the domain.ae, and adding some more general pages to it, and linking to the blog from there. Will this likely help me in the rankings ? Are there any drawbacks of merging? Any other advice ?

Ranking problems with international website
Hey there, we have some ranking issues with our international website. It would be great if any of you could share their thoughts on that. The website uses subfolders for country and language (i.e. .com/uk/en) for the website of the UK branch in English. As the company has branches all over the world and also offers their content in many languages the url structure is quite complex. A recent problem we have seen is that in certain markets the website is not ranking with the correct country. Especially in the UK and the US, Google prefers the country subfolder for Ghana (.com/gh/en) over the .com/us/en and .com/uk/en versions. We have hreflang setup and should also have some local backlinks pointing to the correct subfolders as we switched from many ccTLDs to one gTLD. What confuses me is that when I check for incoming links (Links to your site) with GWT, the subfolder (.com/gh/en) is listed quite high in the column (Your most linked content). However the listed linking domains are not linking at all to this folder as far as I am aware. If I check them with a redirect checker they all link to different subfolders. So I have now idea why Google gives such high authority to this subfolder over the specific country subfolders. The content is pretty much identical at this stage. Has any of you experienced similar behaviour and could point me in a promising direction? Thanks a lot. Regards, Jochen

Google does not favour php websites?
Hi there. An SEO company recently told me that google does not favour php development? This seems rather sketchy, I have not read that google doesn't favour this anywhere, did I just miss that part of SEO or are these guys blowing a little smoke?

Worth it to redirect .swf during a website migration?
Recently one of our clients switched web providers. We've been implementing 301 redirects to the new URL structure for the most important pages. We noticed upon doing a site search, Google has indexed a .swf URL on page 3 of search results. Please see attached image. 1. Should I implement a redirect for this? There are no links to this filetype.

2. There are three others (.swf) that are indexed I would think the best thing to do is to have the new website return a 404 for this page, as it's currently doing, and it will eventually drop out of the index. Any other suggestions? Thanks! g2tur4r0 -

DNS or 301 Website Redirect
We are running a marketplace site, so we have thousands of vendors selling their products on our site. Each vendor has a Profile page and we are soon to launch a premium store-front that is white label. Many of these vendors will want to point a custom url to their premium store-front (which is a sub domain of the marketplace) and we are trying to get an understanding of how we should instruct them to point their url in a way that will give the main marketplace site the seo juice. We also want to understand what will show up in the address bar. Will it be their url or our sub domain? Will any of the marketplace seo juice boost their url local listing status?

How to move website to new domain?
We have a website that has run under the same domain name for the past 10 years. We have built up a decent amount of SEO "mojo" (and traffic) over time, however, the original domain name no longer applies to the business model. A little over 1 year ago we started using a new brand name for the website and created a landing page for that domain name. Everything on that landing page links over to pages on the original domain name (to preserve the SEO value that we have built up over the years). We would like to move all (or most) of the pages/content to the new domain name. Would using 301 redirects be the safest, most effective way of doing this? I have heard of other people doing it this way, and often they will see their traffic drop for a few weeks before it eventually comes back. Anyone else had experience with this? What worked? What didn't? Thanks!
