      Hi, I've just taken on a new ski client who offers ski instructor courses. The landing page for the keyword [ski instructor courses] was created by the web agency but with no heading tags...

      http://www.snowrehab.com/ski-instructor-courses

      Subsequently they've put them in but I've noticed the H1 tag has a break in it where 'ski' is on a separate line to 'instructor courses'

      Is this an issue that need to be addressed?

      Also I can't look up the page in the Moz on-page grader - any ideas why?

      Many thanks!

      Richard

          It looks like rogerbot is getting a 406 Not Acceptable response when he tries to crawl the URL. At this point, there's not much we could do on our end, it's more a case of getting things fixed by your developer or hosting provider.

              Can you tell me what you're seeing when you try to look it up in the on-page grader? Are you getting an error of any type?

                Hi Richard,

                There's no problem with the br tag on your headline. You can install Moz's plugin for Chrome. It's very handy for analysing how robots read your site. Using this tool, under Page Elements you'll see your headline.

                Also, I saw you are using Meta Keywords which are useless. You can remove them.

                Kraig, I think you are a little bit confused about meta robots. That tag is fine.

                Cheers.

                  I've just done a little more looking into it, and it turns out that the page with the tag on it is the one that you don't want the crawler to index (which makes more sense)

                  Google do note that pages can still appear in search results due to a lag time between crawls.

                  I still think though that is is what could be stopping Moz from crawling the site however, though Roger's just doing what he's told 🙂

                    Kraig,

                    I'd be interested in seeing more about what you're saying regarding the robots meta line. It's specific to each particular page, and doesn't mean to not crawl other pages. Google does currently have a couple of hundred pages indexed from that site right now.

                      Hi Richard

                      I inspected the markup of your site code and found that in your there is the meta tag

                      I'd suggest removing this, as this will tell crawlers to only index the first page of your site. Which I doubt is what you want.

                      As for the multi-line keywords, I think you should be okay. Once Moz can crawl your site you can use the On Page Grading tool to see whether it picks up the keywords in the H1 tags.

                      Hope this helps, Kraig.

                        Should we add our company's name in page title tag or not?

                        We have been adding our company (Townscript) name in all the page titles. For example, in an event page of Lucknow Conclave: www.townscript.com/lucknowconclave the page title is Lucknow Conclave | Alexis Society | Townscript I read somewhere that it's not necessary to put your company's name in the title tag. Is it right? Please help!

                        Title Tags: Does having the singular and plural version of the keyword hurt the ranking?

                        I'm wondering if there is a duplication issue with having a singular AND plural version of a keyword in the Title Tag. For example: Wood Desk - Wood Desks| Furniture Store Would this help or hurt my ranking for this URL? I can’t find a concrete answer for this under Moz’s “Title Tag SEO Best Practices Page.” Thanks for your help!

                        Rel canonical tag back to the same page the tag is on?

                        Very simple, Why would a website (and I have seen tons doing this) link the rel canonical tag back to the same page the tag is on? Example: somepage.htm has a canonical tag linking to somepage.htm I thought the idea of this tag was to tell google if 2 pages are similar, this page is the original, and it's this page which should be indexed and the page with the tag on should pass all PR to the original. Maybe im wrong and someone can help me out to understand this.

                        I just want to copy my content on the page and use the first or as well the second sentence of the content self for my meta description tag. Is that OK? Or should the Meta description tag be different?

                        Is there a disadvantage/advantage to using commas to separate words in the title tag. Which will be more effective as a title tag: "keyword1 keyword2 - Brand" OR "keyword1, keyword2 - Brand"?
