          hi

          i have rockshore.uk.com which is not indexing properly.

          the internal pages do not show up for the text they have on them, or the title tags.

          the site is on aekmps shops platform.

          I understand that a .uk.com is not a proper TLD but i think i have a subdomain of .uk.com

          Can anyone help?

          thanks

              I have no concerns with your having 149 links on a page. If you wish your pages to be listed, they need to be viewed as unique pages. To make that determination Google can view the entire page as a whole.

              One suggestion is to create a blank page with your normal sidebars, header and footer. Look at your SEOmoz Analysis tool Page Elements tab. Determine how much HTML text is present. Now go back to your page and see how much your page content has grown.

              There are no magic numbers to shoot for, but you should be conscious of your results. At the moment I see minimal content which is a concern. I also see that minimal content buried in a large amount of other text from your sidebars/header/footer which is duplicated throughout your site.

              I checked Google.uk for "Car Air Freshner" which seems to be the keyword focus of your page. I didn't see your listing in the top 50 results. My suggestions would be:

              • change your title to just "Car Air Freshner" or "Car Air Freshner | Rockshore"

              • if you can, try to use friendly URLs.

              • find a way to add quality content to your page.

                We have 149 internal links, which could be said to be a lot, but compared to many sites this is not a huge amount more.

                So if i put say 300-400 words of unique content on this page that woudl drop that % and threefore woudl solve the problem? what % should i aim for?

                Many E commerce sites dont have that amount of unique content on each page?

                  If you enter that page into Google, it appears. That page is indexed in Google. It may not rank as well as you like, but it is indexed.

                  http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=gsih&xhr=t&q=http://www.rockshore.uk.com/air-fresheners-201-c.asp&cp=52&pf=p&sclient=psy&site=&source=hp&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=http://www.rockshore.uk.com/air-fresheners-201-c.asp&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=27b93cf21cbb40b9&biw=1600&bih=733

                  Taking a closer look at the page, it is clear why it will not rank well. There is very little unique content. Your sidebars are full of links and content which are consistent throughout your site. If you count the number of words in your sidebars, header and footer, then add to it the unique content you will find that ?85% of your content is duplicated with a small amount of unique content in between. These are not quality pages.

                    HI

                    the domain is rockshore.uk.com

                    take a page

                    http://www.rockshore.uk.com/air-fresheners-201-c.asp

                    it is not coming up for the text ot the page, or the title tag.

                    This is the case for most internal pages.

                    i got told rockshore.uk.com is a subdomain of uk.com, and this might have something to do with the issues.

                    The site ranks well in Bing and Yahoo

                      It definitely wouldn't be the fact that it's a .uk.com that's causing the problem. No-one would ever use any other TLD's if it was only a few that got indexed.

                        What do you mean "uk.com" is not a proper TLD? There is nothing wrong with it. Your TLD does not affect your site being indexed.

                        Can you offer more specifics on the problem? Take one page and explain, in detail, how the search results are not matching your expectations.

                        Please provide the URL and the term you are searching for, along with the search engine used (i..e Bing? Google UK? etc)

                          Redirect multiple domains to 1 domain or not?

                          Hi there, I have client who has multiple domains that already have some PA and DA. Problem is that most websites have the same content and rank better on different keywords.
                          I want to redirect all the websites to 1 domain because it’s easier to manage and it removes any duplicate content. Question is if I redirect domain x to domain y do the rankings of domain x increase on domain y? Or is it better to keep domain x separately to generate more referral traffic to domain y? Thanks in advance! Cheers

                          Is it better to use XXX.com or XXX.com/index.html as canonical page

                          Is it better to use 301 redirects or canonical page? I suspect canonical is easier. The question is, which is the best canonical page, YYY.com or YYY.com/indexhtml? I assume YYY.com, since there will be many other pages such as YYY.com/info.html, YYY.com/services.html, etc.

                          Hi, My client wants to expand it's business to Germany and logically we need a domain name to match. We've found a great one and regsiterd several variants to it. However I just found out that in Germany it is possible (while here it's not) to register a domain with an umlaut. My question is: will google assign more value to: schädlinge.de than schadlinge.de when users search for schädlinge? If yes, how large will the difference be? (I will use an umlaut in the title etc) Kind regards,
                          Jason.

                          Hi there, we (www.refundfx.com.au)  rank on google.com.au for some keywords that we target, but we do not rank at all on google.com, is that because we only use a .com.au domain and not a .com domain? We are an Australian company but our customers come from all over the world so we don't want to miss out on the google.com searches. Any help in this regard is appreciated. Thanks.

                          Checkout on different domain

                          Is it a bad SEO move to have a your checkout process on a separate domain instead of the main domain for a ecommerce site. There is no real content on the checkout pages and they are completely new pages that are not indexed in the search engines. Do to the backend architecture it is impossibe for us to have them on the same domain. An example is this page: http://www.printingforless.com/2/Brochure-Printing.html One option we've discussed to not pass page rank on to the checkout domain by iFraming all of the links to the checkout domain. We could also move the checkout process to a subdomain instead of a new domain. Please ignore the concerns with visitors security and conversion rate.  Thanks!

Many thanks any help appreciated.

                          UK website ranking higher in Google.com than Google.co.uk

                          Hi, I have a UK website which was formerly ranked 1<sup>st</sup> in Google.co.uk and .com for my keyword phrase and has recently slipped to 6<sup>th</sup> in .co.uk but is higher in position 4 in Google.com. I have conducted a little research and can’t say for certain but I wonder if it is possible that too many of my backlinks are US based and therefore Google thinks my website is also US based. Checked Google WmT and we the geo-targeted to the UK. Our server is also UK based. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Thanks

                          Duplicate Content issue

                          I have been asked to review an old website to an identify opportunities for increasing search engine traffic. Whilst reviewing the site I came across a strange loop. On each page there is a link to printer friendly version: http://www.websitename.co.uk/index.php?pageid=7&printfriendly=yes That page also has a link to a printer friendly version http://www.websitename.co.uk/index.php?pageid=7&printfriendly=yes&printfriendly=yes and so on and so on....... Some of these pages are being included in Google's index. I appreciate that this can't be a good thing, however, I am not 100% sure as to the extent to which it is a bad thing and the priority that should be given to getting it sorted. Just wandering what views people have on the issues this may cause?
