Issue with .uk.com domain

[Turkey]

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

interesting, thanks very much for your thoughts and time

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.

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.

[RyanKent]

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)
