Seo is more than just link building and well written content.

Seo is more than just link building and well written content.

Having a professional Seo company look at the structure of your website is a must if you really want to make sure that search engines rank your website at the highest level. If your website's pages contain certain errors, search engines (mainly Google) will pick up on the errors and flag them.

See if your website has any critical issues

Critical errors will have an immediate effect on the rankings of your website on Search engines, Broken links are the main cause.

Most website have broken links. If you update your web pages frequently, you may find broken links that need addressing.

Hosting errors are another issue, the cheapest servers are not always the best. Use UK hosting from a reputable company, preferably with a instant support facility via chat or local rate phone number, last resort a fast response ticketing system.

Server errors can cause major problems with search engines. Slow loading pages can be overlooked by the search engines and some not even indexed.

This also delivers a bad customer journey.

Your website pages have to communicate with the search engine and your visitor, not having titles on your pages or duplicate titles can cause the most important of your pages not to show in search also.

There are tools out there to check this for free, but they will not fix the issue.

So your website has no critical issues, but still not ranking?

There are many influencing factors to ranking on search, you really need to go to town on your pages content and the message you want to deliver.

One major issue for people is page content and the pages themselves being duplicated or even being very similar to each other, there is no penalty for duplicate content, but one page will usually be chosen to be displayed to the visitors search and the other give no or very little rank.

Web pages with no content or little text content won't get high rankings, also very importantly check the spelling.

If your web pages are linked with and without www, and with both http and https, there can be canonical URL problems. Ask your server provider to make the changes, they are usually happy to do so or get a pro to add a canonical attribute .

Some website designers accidentally block search engine robots. If a web page blocks search engine robots, it cannot get high rankings.

A very high click depth can be an indicator that people cannot find a page easily. Web pages that aren't easy to find should not contain important content.


Temporary redirects are very common, these can cause problems as do pages with to many out bound links.

There has be a lot said about the websites meta description and if it influences rankings, but this is still very important, this is the wording that shows in the search bellow your title, your visitors will use this as a quick reference as to weather your site is the one they need. Also a duplicate meta tag will flag the page as poor quality.

Websites can always be improved!

The information above will help you on your way to having a high ranking website, there are many more factors that you can find on my other posts.

Here is a list of other issues to look out for.

Redirect same URL
Upper case URLs
Rel. link to domain
Canonical URL used

Meta NoSnippet
Anchor text wasted
H1 tag keyword

The mobilegeddon aftermath, was it as bad as expected?

The mobilegeddon aftermath

Since Google announced the new mobile ranking algorithm, the media have been predicting the end of high rankings for non-mobile friendly websites calling 'mobilegeddon' on mass too all.
Google have released the new algorithm now. so is it as bad as expected?
Do you still have to convert your web pages?
What exactly is Google's new algorithm?
On 21 April, Google released a ranking algorithm that changes the way web pages are ranked in Google's mobile results. According to Google, web pages that do not display correctly on mobile phones, will get lower rankings than before:
According to Google, there's less that 5% more mobile-friendly websites from two months ago, when Google announced the new algorithm. The update doesn’t apply to all devices or results though:

• it affects only mobile device search rankings
• it applies to individual pages of a site, not all of the website
• it is a global algorithm update that affects search results in all languages

Many webmasters changed their websites - was it worth it?

Well we predicted this change would and was happening before Christmas, we noticed back then that changes were happening to mobile search and we advised all our clients to "get mobile friendly"  in December.

The mobile results haven't changed dramatically for many websites, the effect seems to be small. Some websites saw dropped rankings for some of their main keywords but not for all.

Google did say that secure websites would get an advantage, a lot of webmasters added SSL certificates in a rush and encountered many problems that were hard to fix (broken security certificates, broken plugins, less relevant AdSense ads, etc.). So far, HTTPS sites do not seem to rank better but we will be keeping an eye on things and information will be posted we found.
The new mobile algorithm could be similar. A new mobile website can also cause problems:

• for many websites, mobile traffic is worth less than desktop traffic
• if you change an effective web page with high conversions and replace it with an untested mobile design, conversions might drop
• Contact a reputable company that are specialists in mobile websites.

charity Boxing UWCB a massive success

It's the first time I have been to boxing match let alone in Coventry.

We decided to go to support a friend raise money for this charity event and was plesently surprised on the quality of the set up, but it is the Ricoh arena after all so It should be expected.

As a Digital Marketer, I would usually stick to watching it on sky but I'm glad we went.

Our guy win his bout and somehow we where given free beer so it turned out a great night for all.

It's good for the City having events like this and hope we have many more.
