Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Any opinions on Yext?  Worth the money?    And does it help with organic SERP's and SEO generally?

Thanks

When you say "exclude your search"...do you mean exclude that soft 404 page specifically from the search bots?

Can you take a quick peek at one of the pages in question...?
http://www.seadwellers.com/search/page/8/

There are 8 of them....only diff is the number at end of URL...I am afraid I do not understand how/why it exists?

Any insight you might have time to give is greatly appreciated...I'm trying to learn.

Thank you Martijn

Google webmaster tools is telling me I have 8 "soft 404's".

They are all like this page... 
http://www.seadwellers.com/search/page/8/

All 8 pages are the same except the number at the end......

I just can't figure this....any insight at all is appreciated and do i need to correct somehow?

Patrick,

I also have a bunch of 404 "broken links"...these are just some of them below.   I obviously am not a professional...do you happen to offer service to go in and fix issues like this with my website?  I have webmaster tool issues also, and they are just above me.  You're a big help and thought I'd ask...Or if you don;t do this, what would you suggest for me?  I'm a very small business...do you think the Yoast page review thing woudl fit the bill?

Thanks
Rob

Thanks man, really appreciate it.

I am a bit confused...my recent site crawl told me I had 1 4XX Client error, (high priority).  This is the page...
http://www.seadwellers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/367679d2+0+277-SD.mp4

This link below is listed as the "linking page"....I guess that the link comes from?
http://www.seadwellers.com/category/dive-travel/

I'm just not getting this...where did the page of the first link above come from...and what is the deal with the catagory/dive-travel/  page?

And how do I fix?  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated...

Hey guys...wonder if I could bother you again on this...in webmaster tools, I am getting lots of "URL Errors"

47 Not Found

8 Soft 404

Most are dated recently, within last month or so....what am I doing wrong?

I am frustrated....Google Webmaster tools shows this as dup title tags....I've fixed other oages with this issue, but can't figure this out?!  here is the page itself...  http://www.seadwellers.com/tag/padi-1/

I can't figure out where this freakin page even iS?!

Any help with this thing wold be greatly appreciated...

BTW on 301's... I let Yoast SEO generate sitemaps?   Should I still check them somehow?

Thanks a lot for your time.

I am using "Check My Links"...an app...it shows the "No Comments Yet" tab at top of blog post as a 404 error? However, when I clck it it just takes me to comments at bottom of opage..perhaps it is just reading it as 404 and it is not?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Does your company offer one-time onpage seo service by any chance?

Hello Tom,

You answered a question for me some time ago, and i appreciate it.  I wanted to ask you, I am a very small business, I do my own site, seo, etc.  After being involved with a company that milked me for $...i realized that I can do SEO on my own...I have a great blog, 10,000 followers on Facebook Page, doing ok in basic SEO.  I do believe that this kind of has to be done organically these days, as content & linkbuilding needs to be authentic now?

However, I obviously am NOT a professional, I believe my site has some issues and I cannot really deal with them well.  For example, my RSS feed is screwed up...http://www.seadwellers.com/key-largo-diving-blog/

I am getting this error message..."RSS Error: This XML document is invalid, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 257, column 32"

I have not been able to fix this...and I think I have other on-page SEO isssues that are above me.

Do you offer a one-time service that could address these kind of things?   I do not have big budget, but could use a look-over of my page for on-page issues that you could "optimize" for me?

Also, what is you opinion on linkbuilding these days?  Is this something you think i can address on my own?

Thank you,

My Wordpress blog RSS feed is not working correctly and I can't figure why. This is the error I am getting in my sidebar where the RSS feed used to work properly.  My Blog is http://www.seadwellers.com/key-largo-diving-blog/

RSS Error: This XML document is invalid, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 274, column 32

Any insight would be appreciated greatly!

I'm frustrated, so want to ask a stupid question....My site..

www.seadwellers.com

outranks my biggest competitor in most Moz catagories...

www.rainbowreef.us

...EXCEPT Facebook likes...(he has a ton)  **And yet, rainbowreef.us outranks me in most keywords on
Google?!  I know it's not simple...but  Can anyone take a quick peek and give me any insight as to why???  **

Example "Dive Key Largo" keyword...he is #1 and I am #5...typical in the most important keywords!

Can anyone give me an idea how to use the MOZ crawl test results...I'm a little confused on how to read it?  I have a lot of "no's"...I think this is good?

I am not sure what the difference is between the different types of links...my competitors exceed my site in certain types, and lag behind in other types...I'm trying to figure out which are more important maybe?

Followed Linking Root Domains

External "Followed" Links  vs External links

Linking C-Blocks

Just trying to understand the general differences...

I understand, thank you kindly for the response I'll remove Yoast option!

Thank you Oliver, I appreciate it greatly!

Tom, thank you so much for the explanation...to clarify for me, with my limited knowledge...it looks like I should not let Yoast create the meta info...and instead use "Open Graph", which is schema?

Thank you again,

Rob

I use Wordpress for my business website...when I was looking at my html using "source" on Google, I noticed it looks like my site html has 2 sets of meta tags?

www.seadwellers.com  is my site
I do not know why, and I am not sure how to get into my html using Wordpress to delete one set?

I have a blog as part of my business website...when I make a blog post, should I ALWAYS include a link in that post back to another page on my website?  So every blog post has a link back to the site..or should I be intermittent on backlinks?

Just wondering what the best practice is to help the site's SEO...

"The URL http://seadwellers.com/ redirects to http://www.seadwellers.com/.  Do you want to crawl http://www.seadwellers.com/ instead?"

I was given this when I tried to crawl my home page using MOZ software.  I was not aware of this, do not know if it could be a problem concerning any aspect of SEO, etc?
