Hi Ilona

Yes it does matter. Unfortunately Google sees these two http://www.sensis-studio.com or sensis-studio.com as two different pages. So to ensure there is no confusion and links to your websites are no diluted between these two versions it is recommended to choose one as the primary (referred to as Canonical URL) and 301 redirect the other one to it.

Hello Ashkan,

I was also wondering whether there is any difference for SEO purposes if my website will be displayed in a format of “www.sensis-studio.com” or “sensis-studio.com”?

I noticed your web redirects by default to the “dynamoash.com” version as opposed to “www.dynomash.com”. I noticed this with a couple of more other websites.

Just came across this I forgot to mention. I believe seobook.com is giving away a free rank tracking tool once you register with them. go to seobook.com and check it out. Its as part of their free software download once you register.

Hi Ilona

All the reliable tools I know and use for tracking your ranking for keywords cost.

A good simple one is rank tracker from SEO moz: http://www.seomoz.org/rank-tracker. I beleive you have to be a pro member for this.

A couple of other more powerfull software for this which I have used:

http://www.trellian.com/seotoolkit/
http://www.advancedwebranking.com/index.html the choice for pros!

Regarding the website link you sent. mmm yes all those indexed pages pointing to the home page look a bit fishy! The general SEO good practice rule is that any activity that is there purely to deceive the search engine then it is not recommended as a long term strategy, as such acts might be caught and penalized.

BTW ashkan.

Have a look at this
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.freelance-website-designers.co.uk

This people are using very clear way of ranking high in Google. And they don’t seem to be banned.
What do you think about that?

And is there any website that tells me on which position my website appears after I input certain keyword into Google?

For instance: my clients my search “web design agency in london” – and i would like to be able to check easily which position my website is listed at…

Thank you!

Hello Ashkan,

I wanted to ask if you know the url for Google results that are displayed on one page as a simple list?

Thanks!
