Position of elements in the product page
-
Hello.
As I am a SEO Beginner I wonder if the elements of the page will make a better or worse ranking.
I ask this because my boss asked to change the order of the elements.
He wants to put first the section of Supplies and Accesories, and then additional information.

Does it affect my seo for worse or for better?

As a general rule of thumb the more higher your content is placed in the page source, the more accessible it is for search engines. This ensure they correctly pull the right page info and meta data.
Taking a quick glance of your source code, I definantly think your externalise all JS in a single file to remove the amount of bloated code which currently exists.
Also two more things:
(1) Further optimise your page. More people would search for multi color function printer than a refurbished printer. Make sure you conduct keyword research for all product pages.
(2) Even though this is not as important, none the less reduce the number of h2 & h3 heading tags you are using, particularly the links with the headings in the "supplies and accessories" section as it is not necessary.
Hope this helps,
Vahe

Hi,
I'm not sure that position of elements within the source code influence rankings. Therefore fill free to make things as you want.
In my experience, the most important think about content in product page is the "short description" what you've called "quick overview" on your website.
In this section i always try to put relevant keywords to help google and users, and for the moment it works well.
So my advice is to focus on on-page optimization rather than elements positions.
Here is a link to a recent post by google about page layout

Page that appears on SERPs is not the page that has been optimized for users
This may seem like a pretty newbie question, but I haven't been able to find any answers to it (I may not be looking correctly). My site used to rank decently for the KW "Gold name necklace" with this page in the search results:http://www.mynamenecklace.co.uk/Products.aspx?p=302This was the page that I was working on optimizing for user experience (load time, image quality, ease of use, etc.) since this page was were users were getting to via search. A couple months ago the Google SERP's started showing this page for the same query (also ranked a little lower, but not important for this specific question):http://www.mynamenecklace.co.uk/Products.aspx?p=314Which is a white gold version of the necklaces. This is not what most users have in mind (when searching for gold name necklace) so it's much less effective and engaging.How do I tell Google to go back to old page/ give preference to older page / tell them that we have a better version of the page / etc. without having to noindex any of the content? Both of these pages have value and are for different queries, so I can't canonical them to a single page. As far as external links go, more links are pointing to the Yellow gold version and not the white gold one.Any ideas on how to remedy this?Thanks.

Rel canonical for partner sites - product pages only or also homepage and other key pages?
Hello there Our main site is www.arenaflowers.com. We also run a number of partner sites (eg: http://flowershop.cancerresearchuk.org/). We've relcanonical'd the products on the partner site back to the main (arenaflowers.com) site. eg: http://flowershop.cancerresearchuk.org/flowers/tutti_frutti_es_2013 rel canonicals back to: http://www.arenaflowers.com/flowers/tutti_frutti_es_2013). My question: Should we also relcanonical the homepage and other key pages on partner sites back to the main arenaflowers website too? The content is similar but not identical. We don't want our partner sites to be outranking the original (as is the case on kw flower delivery for example). (NB this situation may be complicated by the fact we appear to have an unnatural link penalty on af.com (and when we did an upgrade a while back, the af.com site fell out of the index altogether due to some issues with our move to AWS.) We're getting professional SEO advice on this but wondered what the Moz community's thoughts were.. Cheers, Will

Home page URL
Hi, I work on this site: http://www.towerhousetraining.co.uk/about-us. This is the home page URL. Should this be 301'd to: http://www.towerhousetraining.co.uk? I have created a site map, which I submitted to Google Webmaster Tools, which includes these URL's: /about-us, /training-we-offer & /contact-us. There are a total of 3 pages on the website. Webmaster tools has only indexed 2 out of 3 pages. I think this is something to do with the /about-us URL, as when I do a site: search, these pages appear: www.towerhousetraining.co.uk/, /training-we-offer & /contact-us. I am not sure why Google has indexed the home page as www.towerhousetraining.co.uk/ and not /about-us? Is it a bad idea in general not to have your homepage as your root domain? I added a to the homepage, but am wondering if this was the right thing to do? Any help would be appreciated.

Would having the same paragraph on every product page be bad?
I am trying to figure out if having the same paragraph on every product would be a bad thing. I know it would be bad to have the same description on every product, but this isn't a description it is a helpful paragraph stating this: Having trouble finding the wheelchair part you need? Please call us at 1-800-328-5343 or fill out the (Link)Wheelchair Parts Request Form(Link). One of our friendly customer service representatives will be happy to help you. Or would it be best to just have the "wheelchair parts request form" Link on every page Or would it be best to have neither and try putting that in a higher category making it on one page instead of every product page?

What's the difference between a category page and a content page
Hello, Little confused on this matter. From a website architectural and content stand point, what is the difference between a category page and a content page? So lets say I was going to build a website around tea. My home page would be about tea. My category pages would be: White Tea, Black Tea, Oolong Team and British Tea correct? ( I Would write content for each of these topics on their respective category pages correct?) Then suppose I wrote articles on organic white tea, white tea recipes, how to brew white team etc...( Are these content pages?) Do I think link FROM my category page ( White Tea) to my ( Content pages ie; Organic White Tea, white tea receipes etc) or do I link from my content page to my category page? I hope this makes sense. Thanks, Bill
