I have directory and whenever I check it's Page Strength at SeoMoz it always looks for empty title to find the "Position at Google for first four words of title tag on target URL:" and there by it gets zero point for this Criteria. Even though it ranks first for it's title Latest Directory I will really appreciate if someone can take a look at my directory to see if there is an issue with the site. Thanks, Alpna
Yes that's the problem, I am not able to find any issue on my site and SeoMoz tool never finds Title for this site and it works for every other site I have tested.
Well, there are many other problems alpna. I just kept on topic with the title tag, id be happy to pm you some other problems I see if you want.
I can do it here, here are some probs that need fixing asap or you will never rank well. Meta tags analysis. Title: Found no title. The title is used by most of the search engines. Consider to add a title. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Found no description meta tag. The description meta tag is used by most of the search engines. Consider to add a description meta tag. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keywords: Found no keywords meta tag. The keyword meta tag is still used by many search engines. Consider to add a keyword meta tag. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robots: Found no robots meta tag. This tag is not really required but helps spiders to index the web page. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author: Found no author meta tag. This tag is not really required but helps for your (company) name recognizing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After those are fixed, here is what Tidy has to say! 517 warnings, 6 errors were found! you dont have to fix the errors to rank well, but it makes the site act more like a professional!
Yeah, I noticed that to..... Let me know when you get that stuff done so I can point you to some more stufff.
hmmmmmm Well the ONLY 2 tags U need are the TITLE and the META Description and I dare say the MD is not even mandatory,, As for the code... code compliance means NADA to the SEO unless the page was soooo bad it timed out.. very rare Outside of that I don't use that Page Strength tool, so I have no idea what yer really asking.. he he
I'm not asking anything, these are just some ways to get the site going. But obviously the main point is that the SE's aren't recognizing the title tag at all. That needs to be fixed asap!
I was talking to the poster silly.. about their question re the tool.. lol So the SEs aren't picking it up?? Or this tool? Sounds like the Tool... cause the Google picks it up fine; http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:latestdirectory.com
hmm that is strange, my tools say it will not come up. Ive come to trust those tools, and I'm # 1 in over 15, 1 mill+ terms sooo.... I will have to note to check in the SE every time as well cant hurt.
always have at least 2 tools for every task and hand check occasionally.. a single data set makes for bad research - ya know?
yeah, I use like 3 - 4 tools myself, I figured I was covered SEO wise and wouldn't have to manually check, Not any more, manual check all the way!
