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.

Question For SEO Companies From An On-line Retailer
When employing an SEO company what should I be looking for? When I go to a companies website I look for how many keywords they have ranked on Semrush. Most of the companies that I have looked at do not rank very many. Saying most I am talking about 10-12 companies. There was one company that had a lot more than anyone else but their reviews were awful. Then I look at their clients websites to see how many keywords they have ranked and this is where I am baffled. Quite a lot of them especially retail sites with lots of products have very few keywords ranked and my belief is that the more related keywords that you have ranked the better you will do. I also look at how the thier organic traffic is doing over a number of months. what surprises me most is that companies are advertising clients websites where it looks like traffic is climbing and then all of a sudden there is a big drop. Am I missing something in order to find a company that will do what we are paying them for? Thank you in advance.

Home Page SEO and city specific targeting?
From What I have read you should target one keyword for each page on your site with the exception of the home page. Is this correct? If the most searched keywords for a Dentist in the area are Dentist "city name"

Cosmetic Dentist "city name"
Family Dentist "city name" Should you try and add content on the home page with h1 tags of each of these? If so then what about the page title/url Also if you are targeting keyword Dentist "city name" but like 4 different cities, should you have a separate page for each of this cities and then if so would that not be duplicate content with the exception of city name? Thanks1 -
Left Nav / SEO
We are in the middle of a redesign and would love to get rid of our left navigation. It's currently full of SEO rich categories and has been the same for 10+ years. Our programmers think removing the left navigation will have no impact on our SEO. As SEO's, do you agree with this?

SEO for luxury brands!?
Hi all, It is widely known fact that you will be a bit in trouble if you will need to do SEO for luxury brand that is not willing to sacrifice design, layout etc. for SEO purposes. So basically - there is no content to optimize and there is almost no keywords to rank! 😉 Just wondering - how would be the best to approach such kind of terrible situation? Regards, Jungle

Are pages with lots of pictures with outbound links bad for seo?
"Inspiration" blog posts are a good example. The one below has 80 pictures as part of a logo inspiration page. But each picture has an outbound url. Bad or doesn't matter? http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/80-creative-and-well-designed-logos/

Any SEO effect(s) / impact of Meta No Cache?
Hi SEOMoz Guys, Hope you guys are doing well. I've been searching online and bumped into this archived page (http://www.seomoz.org/qa/view/34982/meta-nocache-affect-ranking). I would like to get an updated take on this issue whether or not the meta no cache code on a page bears negative/positive or no SEO impact / effect. <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" /> <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache"/> Thanks!
