Hi Mozzers,
I've been working on redesigning and revamping this site, http://www.canvaspaintings.com.
Their domain and keyword are a match but not ranking #1.
Some initial things I feel that needs to be changed are the links on the side and top bar, viewing the on page report, it does have a lot of links on every page. Trying to figure out how to remove them without having the top nav look empty.
Previous category descriptions were written by possibly an article spinner or keyword stuffed writer.
Need to start building more links, although PR5, it doesn't rank too well.
Let me know your opinions and thoughts, I would love to hear them out.
TMI!

Yep, I've been brought on the help out a bit. The internal links are excessive but hard to manage since it is an ecommerce site. I have to draw out something for the linking of categories.
Traffic is roughly 200-300 visits but pageviews are about 5-6 per visit.
Keywords are all general but mainly the domain matching keyword. Rankings have fluctuated some moved up and some moved down. As mentioned our current ranking for our own domain is 3rd.

Thanks for the input! Where do you think we should put some H2, H3 tags? We've been using the H1 as an alt= on the logo so its within the code.

Hi William,
It looks like you have A LOT of out bound links (internal) from the home page. That can dilute the PR vaule of that page since you are spreading out your link juice to a ton of interal pages.
What kind of weekly or monthly traffic are you getting right now? Has it increased or decreased over the last 6 months?
What Keyword(s) are you targeting and where do you currently rank for those? Have the rankings gone up or down?

Hi William,
I think the linking on the page could do with some improvement.
The first thing I would do is remove the 'www.canvaspaintings.com' link from the header & footer as there is no need for them. And, like you said, maybe a bit of improvement to the navigation links.
As well as this, I would look at using h1,h2,h3, etc tags a bit more effectively as this can make a big difference.
Hope these quick tips helps slightly.
Matt.

SEO Implications of using Images for Article Titles
Hi guys! New to Moz Pro. I just recently completed an online course with Moz... I have a client who is writing some new content for their site, and we are approaching it with SEO in mind. I was wondering about using an image with text on it as the article title, instead of an actual "text on the page" title. Wondering if that's going to "cost" us anything, SEO wise. I guess we could use alt-text/title/description fields to make sure the keywords are crawlable for our article title but do they have less "weight" than a standard title? How does that work? Hope my question makes sense. Article header attached mB0PXsA.jpg

Review rich snippet with reviews hosted on customer feedback company's website?
Is it possible to enable rich snippets for reviews that are not visible on the page in question? A restaurant's Wordpress website mentions the average rating but the actual customer feedback and reviews are displayed on a page on the website of the feedback company. Would it be enough to implement a small widget (displays star rating, number of reviews and links to the review page) and add microdata/J-SON to convince search engines that the reviews are legit? Thanks in advance! Bas

Infinite scroll SEO
I was curious about the implications of Infinite scroll homepages on SEO, and more specifically, no-indexing subpages of the homepage (ie www.homepage.com/page/2/ ). I know its often a good practice to noindex subpages of archives, but in this case, would it be a bad idea? Thanks!

Canonical URLs and SEO
After publishing my new wordpress website my on page analysis shows two canonical urls on my homepage. In checking the source code the Yoast SEO plugin states my canoncial url is www.homepage.ca/ This is the only one showing. Having said this I do not add the trailing slash to anything on my url structure. Could this be why the on page analysis tool says there are 2? If so is there any way to resolve this?

Does show/hide element with javascript impact SEO
Hi I am developing an ecommerce site and want to place text on all category and home page. The challenge is that 300 words of text for the pages does not fit into the design appropriately especially on the home page. If I were to use a show/hide element with javascript would this be seen as spam or a trick to the search engines. I do not think it is spam as it will be actual content for the site and the visitor can view it if they click on the show button. Would love to hear your thoughts?
