    On page or Off Page?

    Recently I was looking at about 5-6 or so Golf courses/clubs here in Northern Ireland. I compared the on site SEO of all the sites.

    What is the difference between soft 404 and 404 errors?

    A soft 404 happens when a page that has been deleted or removed displays a ‘page not found’ message, but fails to return the correct HTTP 404 status.

    Do you think google tard is clever enough to understand this

    Well if you type in mon£y, and it's used in isolation nope. However if it's used in context then yes. Type into Google 'I need some mon£y' and they will give you the auto correct suggestion.

    FREE Ranking Checkers

    A few years ago I used to use http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/rank-checker/ - it was pretty good for a freebie. Not a free one, but AdvancedWeBranking is the best.

    Any book to learn SEO

    Reading all the books in the world, won't be as good as building your own sites and testing what works and doesn't work. You can easily get bogged down with reading too many blogs, forum posts, articles. Build a site around something that interests you. Make sure the site structure is...

    How important are sitemaps in 2015?

    3-4 months in, SEO company's results seem underwhelming to me

    Sometimes an SEO is lucky enough to work on a site that is clearly under performing, for instance there are 300 pages and all the page titles are the same. This type of work is a gift because with one tweak you'll see great improvement. 6 or so hours a month isn't a great deal of work, and for...

    Ranking question

    I'd guess that Google is trying to decide which page is the most relevant for the keyword. Try and strengthen the ranking signals for the page that you want returned for that particular keyword (both on site and off site, including internal links), and weaken the other page.
