Any SEO suggestions for my site?

Site in question: http://bit.ly/Lcspfp
Does anyone have any suggestions for any on-site SEO that would benefit my website?
Any recommendations, big or small are appreciated.

Another great resource to add to my list.
Already implemented some of the suggestions.

Didn't think about the Webmaster URL Parameters tool. I've gone ahead and sorted them out.
Looks like Google takes a while to update it though.
Checked out the rel-canonical for Magento and found out that Magento now supports this without the need of Yoasts plugin. Sorted that as well, thanks!

Whenever I see a Magento implementation I immediately refer people to Yoast's write-up on the subject. He's about the best you can find from an expertise perspective on SEO and Magento. And to get even more goodness, the Magento Forums are a place to spend some quality time and Magento specific SEO discussions.

Hi,
Your website is visually appealing, it has a good structure and it's easy to navigate.
Having said that, I would change a few things:
-
Product descriptions are not unique, you can find the same text in many other websites. You can expand on the manufacturers description or create your own (unique) product description.
-
It seems that you are not taking advantage of social media. I would incorporate Facebook, Google+ and other types of social media sharing buttons in each product page as well as in your homepage.
-
Your about us page is empty, you should correct that. I would also add some text to your homepage; talking about your company, the products you offer or why your customers should choose you.
-
I don't think you need to link that many times to your homepage, you have at least 4 links to the homepage from the homepage itself. "Shop Categories" doesn't really need to link to the homepage.
-
The keywords meta tag may not hurt, but Google doesn't give it any value. I would take it out.
-
Not really a problem, but you have tons of js files loading in your header, you could combine and optimize all in 1 file.
-
You sitemap lists many pages with priority of 1, and a "daily" change frequency. You might want to correct that.
I just took a short look at your website, and those are just a few things you can do to improve your site. You could also run promotions and post them on daily deals type of websites, run giveaways, etc. in order to attract traffic and links.

Looks like a Magento site. I notice in the Serps that you have a lot of duplicate content showing up because of the parameters on your URL's. Everything after a ? in a URL like this one:
http://theboardgamers.co.uk/fantasy-board-games.html**?dir=desc&order=age**
Add your site to Google Webmaster Tools and under URL parameters help them see to avoid things like ?dir and any other parameters. Usually they are pretty good at doing this automatically. I would also recommend adding the Magento extension called Yoast Rel Canonical. For a good explaination check this out:

This is just a quick glance item but I hope it helps.

Entities and SEO
How do you find the correct words (entities) to explain an entity ? The words (entities) that go together within a sentence seem to be based on the specific corpus (the keyword you want to rank ) and when they are million of results it seems impossible to find what word / entity is going to explain the entity / concept I want to explain. It seems that I got a better chance at the lottery 🙂 a

Few question about SEO
HI guys, I have few questions and I always find good answer here. I tried many SEO companies some very expensive and well known some with medium prices and some from India. I’m not an SEO expert but I always get the same things from SEO companies. They're saying you have to stay with us for few months before you’ll see any results. I completely understand however I don’t see the result on the end.1. What exactly Do I need SEO company for, after I do on page optimisation if they don’t work on proper backlinks. Just letting you know I’m getting content from other people.2. Is there something else which is really important after your page is optimised than backlinks? Or we should fully focus on get backlinks from customers, guest post, sharing on social media etc. to increase our DA and PA?3. Any advice about some individual or company who is good in backlink services?

Open Site Explorer - Spam analysis: need help with inbound links... from my site!
hallo, reading my spam analysis report from open explorer, I found somenthing I don't understand (please see attached image): The long list of links inside the red rectangle are inbound links with a spam score of 5 coming from my same site. How is that possible? Should I remove those links? Also , I see that many of those links are links present in the top navigation bar (about page, home page, service description etc.) or in the sidebar section of the website (categories, recent posts, recent comments). Should I treat them differently? Thank you for your time.

Does it hurt your SEO to have an inaccessible directory in your site structure?
Due to CMS constraints, there may be some nodes in our site tree that are inaccessible and will automatically redirect to their parent folder. Here's an example: www.site.com/folder1/folder2/content, /folder2 redirects to /folder1. This would only be for the single URL itself, not the subpages (i.e. /folder1/folder2/content and anything below that would be accessible). Is there any real risk in this approach from a technical SEO perspective? I'm thinking this is likely a non-issue but I'm hoping someone with more experience can confirm. Another potential option is to have /folder2 accessible (it would be 100% identical to /folder1, long story) and use a canonical tag to point back to /folder1. I'm still waiting to hear if this is possible. Thanks in advance!

Redirecting Pages from site A to site B
Hi, I have a client who have a solid, high ranking content based site (site A). They have now created an ecommerce site in addition (site B). To give site B a boost in terms of search engine visibility upon launch, they now wish to redirect approx 90% of site As pages to site B. What would be the implications of this? Apart from customers being automatically redirected from the page they thought they where landing on, how would google now view site A? What are your thoughts to thier idea. I am trying to talk them out of it as I think its a poor one.

Adwords Policy and SEO
I have a customer who runs campaigns on adwords and we have had real problems with his ads being taken down due to certain ingredients being present in supplements. Now we move towards his SEO campaign and we wondered if the natural listings are effected by sites that list banned substances or pages listed on the adwords policy as being banned ? Has anyone experienced a site being downgraded by link being present from sites that provided products or services that are banned from being advertised on Google adwords ?
