I found out that the software my client use is generating H1 tags. And because this my client didn't know, he was starting all his categories and products with a H1. The result is that almost every page has 2 instead of 1.
Today I fixed them all. So I'm waiting for the changes in the results.
Advise asked

The difference with the competitor is enormous, while the shop of my client scores better on several points. Could it be that technology is the culprit? And if so, how do I find out? Other tips are also welcome.
Well because placing an image here is a hell of a job I'll explain it in plain text. First my client then the competitor: Search words: 1277 - 642 Inlink rank: 18 - 3 Domain inlink: 63 - 14 Backlink: 6277 - 248 Traffic: 3798 - 12.837

Do Follow and No Follow External Link ?
jaap replied to thread Do Follow and No Follow External Link ?It depends in my opinion, if you link to a high authority site it's also brings trust and value. If you disavow this link, it will not be followed, so you can't "tell" spiders that you want the best user experience. And yes, you lose some link juice.
I'm really interested in your test.

Internal linking is a great way to enlarge your visitors dwell time. A lot of SEOs believe that Google does use dwell time as a ranking factor.

Pruning pages
jaap published thread Pruning pagesMy client and I are having a conversation. He wants to prune a lot of his blog pages. In itself a good idea to merge almost the same content, we agree.
However, there are a number of pages that are very similar, but highlight a subject slightly differently. As a result, not 1 but 2 pages are shown in the searches for a certain position. He also wants to merge these.
For the low positions in the SERP, I agree with him. However, he also wants this for the pages that together occupy positions two in the search results. And here we differ.
My idea is that a duplicate listing should be kept at position 2, and brought to position 1 with some support from backlinks. He thinks position 1 will move faster with the merging of both.
I am very curious about your opinion.

jaap replied to thread Shopify website Out of stock queryIt depends, Out of stock products are very good conversion killers. So I would advice to have a proper stock management.
If the product will be back in a month, probably this you have to mention in the stock status. Giving the client the opportunity to buy it anyway. with the notification that the delivery will be within a month is an option. But very depending on the type of product you sell, whether this is accepted.
Never remove a returning the product! If a product will be sold out for ever, you can with a 301 to a relevant page.

So the owner wants to get it removed. However the pages are indexed well in Google.
Is the best solution to redirect every AMP page to the original one in .htaccess? Or is there a better solution?
The structure of the URL is like: index.php?route=product/amp_product&product_id=230 index.php?route=product/amp_product&product_id=231 index.php?route=product/amp_product&product_id=232
So redirecting complete maps isn't possible.

Website ranks first when spelt incorrectly, but doesn't rank at all when spelt correctly
jaap replied to thread Website ranks first when spelt incorrectly, but doesn't rank at all when spelt correctlyDon't change the domain, it's not needed. In time you'll be found.
If you do have a lot of content, it might help to optimize your internal inking with the keyword 'the world over'
Also linking from social networks with a EKM will help.

Newbie totally confused about picking keywords for travel blog
jaap replied to thread Newbie totally confused about picking keywords for travel blog"But picking these SAME keyphrases over and over for each page, does that make sense?"
No, is the simple answer.
For your articles you use long term keywords. Your page " "How to pick a tour of Iran that fits your personality?" is a perfect example. Optimize it for example for the long tail: how to pick a tour in Iran? In this article you put 2 or 3 links, some to other relevant pages and 1 to your homepage with your main keyword travel to Iran.
Writing other pages use different phrases to link to your homepage, not only travel to Iran, it's not natural for search engines.
Don't write for SEO tools, but for your audience. Find out where they look for and give them the best information. If you do like this, you'll also find out that other webmasters will link to your articles.

Where to add more contents to hompage to make it not "thin contents"?
jaap replied to thread Where to add more contents to hompage to make it not "thin contents"?If you can explain in 10 words what you offer on the homepage, 11 words are too many. The visitor's intention is to find the right information. If you offer it, it will be good.
Just make sure that visitors from the homepage click through to the next page for more information, or for the product. To avoid bounces.
Google will then see that you have a low bounce rate and will rank you higher in the search results.
The only drawback of low content is the low dwell time.

For example, you may have specific URLs for English speakers in Ireland (en-ie), Canada (en-ca), and Australia (en-au), but should also provide a generic English (en) page for searchers in, say, the US, UK, and all other English-speaking locations. It can be one of the specific pages, if you choose

Question is if your organic searches generate a healthy conversion? If not, first fix this.
A low organic conversion rate will make your ads to expensive. Also focus on long tail, this may avoid schoolboys to find you..... Long-tail keywords are longer and more specific keyword phrases that visitors are more likely to use when they're closer to a point-of-purchase.
To protect your budget you can also consider a tool like Clickcease.

To find the best way to create quality backlink
jaap replied to thread To find the best way to create quality backlinkThis depends on your niche. Some niches can write perfect content, which will be linked by others. If your niche is very commercial, this method often does not work. Then you can consider buying links. Guest blogging is also a great way to get more backlinks.
A first good move is to spy on your competitors, and see where their backlinks are coming from.
Keep your back links relevant!

Is it a good thing that I take this domain name in my niche?
jaap replied to thread Is it a good thing that I take this domain name in my niche?When you've found a correct domain name, check if it's indexed by Google by doing a Google search for “site:www.examplesite.com”. You can also search for “www.examplesite.com” to see how often Google encounters this domain name on other websites. Check if the domain name has a “spam” score. You can check this with the free tool opensiteexplorer.org. The higher the spam score, the greater the chance of inbound links from spam websites. Check in Google if there has been negative publicity around the brand.
