SeoMoz robot is not able to crawl my website.
-
Hi,
SeoMoz robot crawls only two web pages of my website. I contacts seomoz team and they told me that the problem is because of Javascript use. What is the solution to this? Should I contact my webdesign company and ask them to remove Javascript code?

Hi Maria,
Your menu is not optimized, but the real problem is not coming from there. Your home http://www.medixschool.ca/ has a meta refresh leading to http://www.medixschool.ca/Home/index.php instead of a 301 redirect.
You should remove this meta refresh and replace it by a 301 redirection.
Best regards,
Guillaume Voyer. -
Thanks Maximise,
I am in contact with my web developing company and looking forward for a response. Mean while it will be great if you can let me know more about it and how to go ahead with this.
thanks

Hi Maria,
I've just had a very brief look and it seems that the menu is quite reliant on JavaScript (try disabling Javascript and you will see that you can't access most of your pages). Crawlers do not use JavaScript so this could be a problem.
The ideal way to do this sort of thing is by showing and hiding menus with CSS, not JavaScript. I can have a better look and provide you with more info tomorrow if you need it.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. My website address is
http://www.medixschool.ca/Home/index.php
I checked the code and I can see the links.
-
You'll need to post the URL of your website for us to give you a definite answer. Try browsing to your website then right click and select 'view source'. if you can't see the links in the source code then crawlers can't see them either.
Sometimes menus are built badly with JavaScript, you will probably need to ask your developers to change your menu.

To merge website and blog?
I was hoping to get a bit of advice if possible. Our website has a domain authority of 25. Our blog, on a separate platform has a domain authority of 73. In essence, we were wondering if we should move all the content from our blog to our website and then set up redirects? What's stopped us so far is the fear that the links from the blog, with the higher domain authority, are having a positive effect on the website, and if we were to move the content we'd lose the value of those backlinks. So I was wondering if you could possibly advise me on the matter? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Website not ranking for noncompetitive terms
Hi, We've took over a website last July and no matter what we do we just can't get it ranking in Google, even for noncompetitive terms. here is the website in question: http://www.alignandsmile.co.uk Ideally the client would like to rank for Canary Wharf but that location is competitive, the site doesn't even rank for 'Dentist New Providence Wharf E14' despite it being included in the title tag on the home page and in the content throughout the website. Directories with Align and Smile's business information do rank however. I opened a case with google through Webmaster tools and they 'reviewed your site and found no manual actions by the webspam team that might affect your site's ranking in Google.' So I'm a bit stuck. The site ranks top for the keyphrase in Bing and Yahoo...we are really struggling with Google! Any help would be much appreciated. many thanks Marcus

Wordpress Website + 404 Errors
Hi everyone, I like to do a bit of auditing for our clients using SEOMoz. Once client that's using a Wordpress website had reported over a couple hundred 404 errors. However, when checking out the links, all the webpages (that I've tested) loaded just fine. Does anyone know why this would be the case? I thought, perhaps, the website might have gone down when it was crawling, but I have no evidence to back this up.

What is the best website structure for SEO?
I've been on SEOmoz for about 1 month now and everyone says that depending on the type of business you should build up your website structure for SEO as 1st step. I have a new client click here ( www version doesn't work)... some bugs we are fixing it now. We are almost finished with the design & layout. 2nd question have been running though my head. 1. What would the best url category for the shop be /products/ - current url cat ex: /products/door-handles.html 2. What would you use for the main menu as section for getting the most out of SEO. Personally i am thinking of making 2-3 main categories on the left a section where i can add content to it (3-4 paragraphs... images maybe a video).So the main page focuses on the domain name more and the rest of the sections would focus on specific keywords, this why I avoid cannibalization. Main keyword target is "door handles" Any suggestions would be appreciated.
