Are jobsite themes harder to optimize than say a traditional website?
-
Until recently I have enjoyed a great deal of success with SEO on my websites and clients websites. SEO is more of a hobby than a profession for me however I am really struggling with my latest website www.securityjobsuk.co.uk - The keywords are easy, 1. security jobs and 2. security vacancies. The site has vanished off radar completely since I used the jobify theme. Has anyone had similar experience with job boards? Do they require more TLC / expert attention?

Hi Spencer, thank you for your reply.
I have not changed domains, the site name is being generated by Wordpress in the settings so can easily be removed. I think the H1 tags may be another debate, however will take it down to one per page. again most of the H1 are being generated by the theme rather than deliberate acts.

Wow, that's ridiculous. I just looked at https://www.97thfloor.com/ and their site is sort of cool, but it also really hurts my eyes.
I never understood SEO company's that preach one thing and then either do something else or just don't do exactly what they're telling their customers.
97th floor also has the same title tag for every page. I guess they just don't want to be found organically, which I guess might make sense when you work with big brands like they do.

I see it working now as well. Also Spencer, if you ever want a good laugh go check out the H1s for the Moz Recommended companies. I believe at least the first 5 on the page either have multiple h1s or none at all.

The content seems to be working fine for me on desktop and mobile.
Did you change domains when you changed themes or were you always http://www.securityjobsuk.co.uk/ but with better rankings? I ask because your domain authority is pretty low (18) and generally sites with that low of a domain authority don't rank at all.
The only other issue I can see is that your logo/sitename is sitting in a sitewide h1 and every page I looked at had at least 4 h1 tags, which is definitely not advised. Any page should only ever have one h1 and the logo shouldn't be a sitewide h1, at least in my opinion. That may be at least part of your issue.

hi Richard, thats interesting. I have checked this on various browsers and devices and was OK.

I can't even access your content on the site. I see home, mobile, and desktop as text and when I click desktop it just highlights mobile again, so nothing changes.

What Website Platform would you use?
We are considering 1 maybe 3 websites (1 new 2 redesign) there are so many options with technology rolling over every 3 years it seems. Here are my obstacles: Wordpress: dynamic but easily hacked, often needs updating Joomla: attractive, but cumbersome to manage Custom: sleek and easier to manage, but gets outdated quickly Here are some variables: 80+ products, E-Commerce, Dynamic, Blog, Tons of images, SEO friendly, MUST not lose our rankings! OK, Moz friends, What do you recommend?

Website Traffic Drop After Switch
Hey guys, two weeks ago we switched over to the new website, however we've experienced about a 20% drop in Google Organic traffic and it does not appear we are getting indexed correctly by Google. On search results it's not using the meta description and the links still point to the old pages. Robots is fine We are using the same IP address Re-directs are in for the pages in question. Sitemap was submitted to Google in Webmaster tools What else do we need to do?

Website Drops Some Traffic after Redesign. What's Happening?
What it is NOT: No Link was broken. I have used Moz, Screaming Frog, Excel, etc - there are not broken links. We have not added spammy links. We kept the same amount of links and content on the homepage - with an exception of 1 or 2. All the pages remained canonical. Our blog uses rel=prev rel=next, and each page is canonicalized to itself. We do not index duplicated content. Our tags are content="noindex,follow" We are using the Genesis Framework (we were not before.) Load time is quicker - we now have a dedicated server. Webmaster tools has not reported any crawl report problems. What we did that should have improved our rankings and traffic: Implemented schema.org Responsive design Our bounce rate is down - Average visit length is up. Any ideas?

What is Best Platform to Build Website - SEO in mind
Hello... I am going to be creating two new websites shortly that will need to be built with SEO in mind. These will not be e-commerce sites, but instead will be informational with a couple pages of content on each. One will be used to get people to input their contact info and that info will be sent to our call center where we will call them back from. The other site will be heavily used for graphics, but still needs to have room for content (seo purposes)... Can you guys please recommend what platform i should have these sites written on (and please remember I need to do this on whatever is the most SEO-Friendly)... Thanks

Due to lack of resources, my company usually buys website templates and we adjust it internally. So we can always be with new designs, spending less money.

What website CMS system would you suggest?
Hello all! Thanks everyone for making my experience with SEOMOZ so far a great one. There are some really awesome folks here answering questions and we obviously have a great community here. Question We host our sites on dedicated servers with Cpanel. We have a new project that will require that users can log in and create a free Website on a sub domain eg. abc.mainwebsite.com or example.mainwebsite.com So the end user will be able to provide their choice of a sub domain. Then the user can create their website, upload their logo and so on for the free site. (Content management controlled by them) What software would you suggest we use for providing this free service? Thank everyone!

What is the optimal URL Structure for Internal Pages
Is it more SEO friendly to have an internal page URL structure that reads like www.smithlawfirm.com/personal-injury/car-accidents or www.smithlawfirm.com/personal-injury-car-accidents? The former structure has the benefit of showing Google all the sub-categories under personal injury; the later the benefit of a flatter structure. Thanks
