Check out the new DigiByte website! https://digibyte.co/ We will be adding more over the coming weeks. Please let us know of any suggestions or issues you have. This new site will be much easier for us to keep updated and expand upon.

First step to take and is very easy to fix and have high impact : Look under marketing checklist : https://www.woorank.com/en/www/digibyte.co
Track users and activity with Analytics and Webmaster Tools Top Priority
Configure your domain redirects from non-original pages versions
Optimize images for your website

I can visit the site now through https://www.digibyte.co/ https://digibyte.co/ http://digibyte.co/ http://www.digibyte.co/
It is good to redirect the Digibyte url's to one because now i can visit 4 home url's and google see them as duplicate.

So in this example Google wil split then juice/rank over 4 pages instead of 1 and will see it as duplicate pages. To avoid duplicate pages and losing juice it is always good to fix this easy fix ! It is good to setting up a rel canonical https://moz.com/blog/canonical-url-tag-the-most-important-advancement-in-seo-practices-since-sitemaps.

An example al kind of bitcoin url versions redirected to https://bitcointalk.org/

Also it is a good idea to put all the sites in Google Webmasters Centre to receive important technical messages. I hope this will help as well and google don't like duplicate content so it is good to fix this when possible!

After submitting for example Digibyte.co https://www.google.com/webmasters/ it is possible to set a preferred domain with or without www. (https://digibyte.co or https://www.digibyte.co ). Also GWC is giving alerts automatically from very imporant issues!

If the chosen preferred domain is https://www.digibyte.co , all other duplicate home pages (for example https://digibyte.co/ http://digibyte.co/ http://www.digibyte.co/ ) can be redirected with a 301 to the chosen preffered domain https://www.digibyte.co , to let Google know what the original page is.

Search engines don't know which version(s) to include/exclude from their indices
Search engines don't know whether to direct the link metrics (trust, authority, anchor text, link juice, etc.) to one page, or keep it separated between multiple versions
Search engines don't know which version(s) to rank for query results
When duplicate content is present, site owners suffer rankings and traffic losses, and search engines provide less relevant results.

The rel canonical tag is pointing to link rel="canonical" href="/home-1"/> which goes wrong if i see that google is indexing 4 different domains : https://www.google.nl/?gws_rd=ssl#q=https:%2F%2Fdigibyte.co%2Fhome-1 so Google think now there are 5 home pages all with the same content. With Screamingfrog it is possible to search for all duplicate content automatically and i will run soon when have more time a rapport.

Here a very good article about this very important issue! https://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content

For alle the Digibyte sites it is also very important that the sites are running fast https://moz.com/learn/seo/page-speed. I just found out that this can be improved https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdigibyte.co%2F&tab=mobile and https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdigibyte.co%2F&tab=desktop

More details : https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/OrUTM/https://digibyte.co/ and some great articles : https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2010/04/using-site-speed-in-web-search-ranking.html and https://moz.com/learn/seo/page-speed

And for Digibytegameing : https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdigibytegaming.com%2F&tab=mobile and https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdigibytegaming.com%2F&tab=desktop

A fast site is these days is so important and this will certainly bring improvements!

And a very good tool is also which gives a great information about the seo of a page in this case : https://www.woorank.com/en/www/digibyte.co

High impact : Track users and activity with Analytics and Webmaster Tools (Google webmaster for sure )
High impact : Configure your domain redirects from non-original pages versions as described earlier.

Here the descritpion from Woorank : Search engines do not like pages which duplicate large amounts of content on the same website, which can happen when the same page, due to Web configuration or CMS issues, is shown in different URLs.

A common scenario for this issue is found when the non-www and the www version of your site both feature your content. For example, when www.domain.com and domain.com show the home page information.

You should pick either version to show your site content and use 301 redirects to refer from the non-original page versions to the original ones, making show you only show each page through one URL.
A 301 Redirect should be used to refer from the non-original URLs to the original ones.

If you are creating other subdomains, use relevant keywords and avoid duplicate content. Check if your homepage is correctly redirecting to the original URL version with the WWW Resolve criteria under the SEO section in your WooRank Reviews.

With the free web developers tool it is possible to see from every page the h-tags (after installing the webdeveloper tool you can click on "view document outline" to see if the h-tags are well placed or not. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-developer/bfbameneiokkgbdmiekhjnmfkcnldhhm (For home Digibyte.co no important h1 tag is used.
