Page feedback
-
We recently wrote a new website page to cover the direct mail services our organization offers.
We kept the title tag to 70 characters, the meta description under 150 characters. H1 tag has what we feel is the most important term.
If anyone out there has time to review & provide a little feedback, we'd really appreciate it. It would be great to know if it is built well and providing a solid end user experience.

At the moment, the only links pointing to this page are from our blog.
One bit of content I am contemplating is a short paragraph - What is Direct Mail Marketing?
Literally providing a short definition of it.
The page was activated last Thursday and showing up in some Google results on the 4th/5th page but I am thinking this is probably just a temporary bump for now.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice!!!

Only thing I think really needs adding would be image meta. Those pictures look blank to me when browsing as Googlebot so the real googlebot probably has no idea what's there.

Happy Friday to you too!
You can tell the page is written by a writer/marketer. It's very nicely put together and has not been stuffed or "forced" by someone trying to optimise for an algorithm, rather than a person. Very refreshing to see!

Hey Tom,
THANK YOU! Extremely helpful - I thought I was using a little too much content so that insight is much appreciated.
I am more of the writer/marketing guy but those reports are going straight to IT for speed improvements. Thanks for those as well.
Happy Friday.

Hi there
First impressions - I quite like it. It's clean, the navigation looks good, I think the images could be utlilised a bit better, they're a bit small and you can't read the call to action in one of them (which, given your keyword, is a bit of a sin)
Nice use of H1s, H2s, H3s. Nothing looks stuffed/unnatural which is great. Looks like you've got nice interlinking throughout the site, too.
I think you could benefit from a bit more text content. It's a bit thin when you look at it through Google's eyes.
There's something though that I caught when the page was loading. That is, it was a bit slow to load.
Here's a GTmetrix report of the page. This looks at the speed of the page and improvements you could make to it. You'll see here that one of the biggest recommendations is to use browser caching. There's a guide on GTMetrix to help you do that.
But I do like the page - it's not flashy for flashy's sake and it's got a solid base from an SEO perspective. Maybe you could also include a portfolio of some of your design work or a few testimonials from previous clients over the work that you did. Might add a little extra trust to your brand and would also give you a chance to really wow a client with some past designs.

Old pages not mobile friendly - new pages in process but don't want to upset current traffic.
Working with a new client. They have what I would describe as two virtual websites. Same domain but different coding, navigation and structure. Old virtual website pages fail mobile friendly, they were not designed to be responsive ( there really is no way to fix them) but they are ranking and getting traffic. New virtual website pages pass mobile friendly but are not SEO optimized yet and are not ranking and not getting organic traffic. My understanding is NOT mobile friendly is a "site" designation and although the offending pages are listed it is not a "page" designation. Is this correct? If my understanding is true what would be the best way to hold onto the rankings and traffic generated by old virtual website pages and resolve the "NOT mobile friendly" problem until the new virtual website pages have surpassed the old pages in ranking and traffic? A proposal was made to redirect any mobile traffic on the old virtual website pages to mobile friendly pages. What will happen to SEO if this is done? The pages would pass mobile friendly because they would go to mobile friendly pages, I assume, but what about link equity? Would they see a drop in traffic ? Any thoughts? Thanks, Toni

Duplicate page titles for blog snippets pages
I can't figure the answer to this issue, on my blog I have a number of pages which each show snippets and an image for each blog entry, these are called /recent-weddings/page/1 /2 /3 and so on. I'm getting duplicate page titles for these but can't find anywhere on Wordpress to set a unique title for them. So http://www.weddingphotojournalist.co.uk/recent-weddings/…/2/ has the same title as http://www.weddingphotojournalist.co.uk/recent-weddings/…/3/

How come only 2 pages of my 16 page infographic are being crawled by Moz?
Our Infographic titled "What Is Coaching" was officially launched 5 weeks ago. http://whatiscoaching.erickson.edu/ We set up campaigns in Moz & Google Analytics to track its performance. Moz is reporting No organic traffic and is only crawling 2 of the 16 pages we created. (see first and third attachments) Google Analytics is seeing hundreds of some very strange random pages (see second attachment) Both campaigns are tracking the url above. We have no idea where we've gone wrong. Please help!! 16_pages_seen_in_wordpress.png how_google_analytics_sees_pages.png what_moz_sees.png

Micro-sites for Landing Pages?
We are working with a site that is difficult at best to update. The client intends to re-do the site in 18 months or so but needs to start generating more traffic (and sales) now. What are thoughts on creating landing pages as micro-sites that point to the current site conversion page as a stop gap? Beyond not sharing authority is there any known penalty? By the way they don't have tremendous ranking right now - often bottom of page two - and the micro-site won't duplicate any content.
