Does anyone know why my Home page isn't visible in search terms?
-
If I type in my meta description for my homepage in google search or any of my keywords only my inner pages are returned in the results. I have a PR3 on the homepage so I don't think google is blocking my site and all my inner pages seem to show up.

Thanks, our web company have set this up as a redirect the main website is .co.uk the .com should be redirected to this. You said that this is just the begining of potential problems is there more to it than just the redirect being problematic?

Works for me: set each one's geography in webmaster tools and put a UK & US address on each footer. Then add a bit of geographic linkbuilding
Great idea this week from TNW conference: set html lang="en-US" on the US version
(maybe also check your English language usage in line with this)

I agree Dejan. You are right!

That is not the problem.
Simple search for a piece of on-page content reveals that Google chooses .com as the content originator. Again in the results the page has problematic URL. Perhaps it's a redirect gone wrong but this could be solved simply by canonicalisation or 301 redirection.
This is in case Mick does not need both websites online. If he does there is still a solution but it would involve introducing geo specific signals to Google and setting preference in Google Webmaster Tools (among other things). Diversification of content would take time and may not be feasible in all cases.

Probably, Google is finding more relevant content in the inner pages than on the home page. Remove unnecessary meta tags and rework on the content part

http://www.filmcellcostumeideas.com/ is fighting against http://www.filmcellcostumeideas.co.uk/ in SERPS.
Also seeing some funny URLs like: http://www.filmcellcostumeideas.com/%3C?php%2520echo%2520zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US)%3B%2520%3F%253E
This is just the beginning of potential problems.
Do you run .com and .co.uk on purpose? (e.g. for different target markets)

Schema Review Not Showing Up For The Home Page
I have a schema review for an attorney website. The schema shows up in the SERPs for all the inner pages of the sites but never for the homepage. Is there a reason for that?

Static or Dynamic Home Page? Please Help!
Hi again 🙂 I ask for ur input again my friends I finally decided to go for the shorter .COM domain, and I put my domain online. Since it will be an online games site, every post will be in fact a new game. And of course, every game, will be in fact a post. I put my home page as "latest posts" this way, all my posts are shown in home page, and posts being for me games, all my games appear on my home page. So my home page always has the latest games and is always fresh. The theme I use has the option to ad some "static content" at the end of the posts, on home page, for SEO. I my home page I have also about 300 words of "article" content, that never changes, and is for seo, since my post content, is in fact java script, and other html codes ( flash games). So my home pages is that article plus excerpts of latest post. But the problem is, that I cannot control the seo, on page this way, and I cannot control my keywords very well, or the density of them, since the home page isnt a page. Now the question is, to let my Home page as it is, or change it and set it up as a page. I can put games on pages to, that is not a big problem. What is best, for the future of the site, google ranking, and seo, in ur opinion. I ad that I recived "A" Grade on moz for Page Seo Grade! Thank You!

Noindex child pages (whose content is included on parent pages)?
I'm sorry if there have been questions close to this before... I've using WordPress less like a blogging platform and more like a CMS for years now... For content management purposes we organize a lot of content around Parent/Child page (and custom-post-type) relationships; the Child pages are included as tabbed content on the Parent page. Should I be noindexing these child pages, since their content is already on the site, in full, on their Parent pages (ie. duplicate content)? Or does it not matter, since the crawlers may not go to all of the tabbed content? None of the pages have shown up in Moz's "High Priority Issues" as duplicate content but it still seems like I'm making the Parent pages suffer needlessly... Anything obvious I'm not taking into consideration? By the by, this is my first post here @ Moz, which I'm loving; this site and the forums are such a great resource! Anyways, thanks in advance!

I've just manually edited all the page titles and meta descriptions on a site, when will this show in Google results?
I've just manually edited all of the page titles, meta descriptions and optimised the copy on a client's site. I submitted this for a new crawl on Google via Webmaster Tools but when I do a Google search the old versions are still showing. Will it still take a few weeks for the new versions to show even though Google has crawled it via Webmaster?

I have created a site www.autoinsurancefremontca.com. The index page is SEO for the key term auto insurance fremont ca. I want to add more content on another page of this site. Should I have that page also SEO'd for the same keyword or should I pick another keyword to focus on?

Do product pages need unique content or does having duplcate content hurt on those pages?
We are adding product rapidly to our website but this requires allowing duplicate to exist on our product pages of furniture-online.com. From an SEO standpoint do we need to make this content unique for each product. Since we aren't link building to specific product pages and we don't anticipate product pages being found in a search result, are we ok leaving the duplicate content in place and spending our dollars elsewhere?
