SEO Tips - September 2015

This month we focus on optimising your links and transferring your well-earned reputation from one page to another and managing your existing links. Here are your five SEO tips for September:

• Create URLs that describe the content of the page; not only are they easy to remember for the humans your ultimately targeting, but also great for search engines; their bots will be able to categorise your page much quicker!
  
  
• Avoid duplication of content at all costs. If it really cannot be avoided, then use the canonical tag.
  
  
• When you move content, do not forget to set up a 301 Permanent redirect. You need search engines to move the reputation with the content.
  
  
• Found some undesirable back links that are just ruining your optimisation efforts? Ask the site administrator to remove them, it can be as simple a quick friendly email!
  
  
• Cannot contact the administrator? Use the Google disavow tool: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main.
