I am looking for help eliminating issues with website
-
I am looking for a company or person to assist me on the technical aspect of improving our site speed and resolving so errors that MOZ is reporting. For instance, we have an old URL domain that we retired when we consolidated 2 websites. We pointed (mapped) the old site pages to the current website, is this redirect helping (links) or hurting us? Can anyone recommend someone I can hire to help me with this project?

Hi Julie,
I know that you are looking to hire someone, but I thought I would share some opinions here to get you thinking about what you want to spend your money on. I did an on-demand scan of your site on Moz to see what you are seeing in error reporting.
Issues that need fixed first I think the most important issues you need fixed first are your title tags, missing H1 tags and possibly your URL structure if you would like. That with focus on your on-page content will see large benefits to you and your company.
Redirect Issues
The redirect issues that I am seeing are actually redirect chains. This means that a link redirects to another redirect that finally lands on a page. There are two redirects in that process. You might want to investigate how you are redirecting those URLs from the previous site. I always think it is good to have those redirects in place from a previous site. You may want to use the links section of Moz to see if anyone is linking to your previous site. If you are certain there are no more links to your previous site, then you can safely remove those redirects.
Site Speed
I think it is important to understand site speed in rankings. Yes, the faster the website the better user mobile experience. Right now, Google doesn't rank sites based on page speed difference. It only will effect rankings if your site is really bad. Google's expectations in their report is high because they want to push towards lightweight websites. Just because it ranks as slow doesnt mean that it will take effect on your rankings. A lot of cases, there will have to be some significant code changes to fix some of those areas. Scan your competitors site as well and see where they fall. Amazon only scores a 70 and they seem to do fine.
Also, speed fluctuates much like rankings fluctuate. A .3 second drop shouldn't be concerning. It is probably because of the pop-up you have installed announcing you are still open.
Summary
I would clean up your SEO tags and metadata first. Then you can start to worry about the redirect chains and finally maybe the site speed. If speed is a major priority for your firm, then you may want to consider a redesign built around a lightweight template.

We have 2 main issues: Web page speed and re-directs from an old URL.
**#1 Web page speed: ** Our website speed (for acclaimlegalservices.com) according to https://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/feature/testmysite/ is 2.9 seconds, which is considered slow and has gotten .3 seconds slower over the past month. We need technical help to fix some issues that are causing site slowness.
**#2 Re-directs: ** We are getting notices from MOZ on re-direct issues. We have an old website (acclaimls.com) that we closed down several years ago as we had 2 competing sites with similar content. We mapped each of the pages on the old site to similar pages on the current site and redirected those pages. I would like a POV as to whether it is still beneficial to keep those links or if we are better off from an SEO perspective to discontinue the re-directs.
Thank you in advance for any help! Julie

Need help on declining page rank
Hi Guys,
On-Page Optimization | | Slideuplift123
We had a consistent page ranking for a specific keyword between 5 and 8 positions on google. This week all of a sudden the page which was ranking for that keyword no longer ranks for it and another page has started ranking for that keyword that too at 20th position. I am so confused why has this happened? I didn't do any changes to that page or to the now ranking page. Can anyone help why could this be happening?0 -

Latent semantic Indexing - Does this help rankings/relevance?
Hi, Does semantically related words to the target term on a page help with rankings/relevance? If your after the term 'PC Screen' and you use the term 'PC Monitor' will go make the connection and also reward you because of the relevance? Anyone do this and have you seen any positives? I've just started to try this out lately and have been combining it with Wordle.net to give me an indication of where the content piece is heading and how aggressive the content leans towards certain words (makes things a little more interesting then calculating densities).

Temporary redirect - help!
I ran an audit on a new clients website (they did a redesign and fell off of the radar). One of the major issues that the audit came back with was over 6,000 warnings for temporary re-directs. This is a large e-commerce site and I know there will be errors but wondering why the company who did the redesign wouldn't do a 301? Would someone be able to look at this code and tell me if what they did is correct? One of the many pages that has the temporary redirect: http://www.toyotapartsstore.com/index.php?route=checkout/cart&product_id=1 Where all the many pages with errors is redirecting to: http://www.toyotapartsstore.com/index.ph

Would adding noindex help?
I had completely forgotten that I have about 20 pages of content on my site that is an exact duplicate of other sites (i.e. obtained from PLR site). I really do not want to delete these pages as they do get a lot of visitors (or did before last algo updates). These visitors are not from organic search but have navigated to the pages from within my site. Question is should I a) add noindex to these pages and then ask google to remove them from index or b) try to rewrite them Many Thanks Simon

Better for SEO to use a hyphen in the name of a website to break up text?
To maximize SEO, would it be better to use a hyphen between two words in the name of a website? For instance, www.londonparis.com or www.london-paris.com. Would it be OK to use www.LondonParis.com Many thanks in advance, Ricardo
