Title Tag Suggestion
-
Short title tag is more useful so if we just use our targeted keyword in home page title then is it useful.?
for example my website: http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/ i am targeting lawsuit loans keyword so if i use <title>TNF - Lawsuit Loans | Lawsuit Funding</title> is batter to use for main page or
<title>Lawsuit Loans | Lawsuit Funding | As Low As 1% | PreSettlement Funding</title>
can we have to use main targeting keyword on all webpage title tag ?
my website have 200+ page and i have to use different title tag for that pages including targated keyword so if i am targeting lawsuit loans in that title, what is best to divide title pipe, hyphen or comma ? does capitalization in title tag wrong effect ?
- Lawsuit Loans - As low as 1%
- Lawsuit Loans | As low as 1%
- Lawsuit Loans, As low as 1%
(or i have to use smaller cash in title)
for all different page i want to place this kind of title is it best for SEO purpose
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Fargo
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Escondido
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Erie
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Flint
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Fort Wayne
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Fresno
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Gainesville
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Grand Rapids
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Gilbert
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Gresham
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans High Point
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Hialeah
- Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans Huntsville
if i am using this kind of different title for all page then it can effective for SEO or it will be come in keyword stuffing

Hi Prince
The local-based URL you have suggested is good, but the issue is not so much with the URL but how you can effectively target these searches without local offices - at least it would seem by the fact that you don't show any addresses of offices on your site that there are not any. Is that correct?
There is an excellent set of tips from Miriam Ellis on optimising for local searches on this post: https://moz.com/community/q/what-is-the-best-way-to-optimise-the-website-of-a-service-area-business-websites-for-local-search
The essential thing if you want to optimise for local searches is to show local citations of an office in that area. As Miriam says:
The most important thing for SABs (Service Area Businesses) to understand is that Google is heavily biased toward physical location. SABs must have at least one physical location in order to seek inclusion in Google's local index. This can be a home address - that's just fine! But it cannot be a virtual address, P.O. box, etc. And it should not be shared by any other business.
Is this site for a company who operate totally online or from just one phone number which could for anyone knows be offshore? If it is, you are not going to be successful with this strategy if you have no local offices that someone can walk into and buy the service. If it is an online only service being operated then your whole site should reflect that and you should market the site along those lines - with quality unique content being on the site answering the questions people may be searching for - based on the service you are offering.
The Title tag you suggest is OK for a home page yes although it's a little diluted and the "As low as 1%" would be of more value in the Description meta tag. No one will be searching for that key phrase. I don't think these days there is much difference with using pipe, hyphen or comma.
Sorry again to sound like I am being harsh on what you are trying to do. I think you are genuine guy trying to do their best, but with all the hard work you are putting in to this site you are better to direct it at making the site work well for you and your client.

so for that i have to build perfect website with some new relevant content and quality article. and wordpress platform is batter to build a responsive and good website, thanks for help so using keyword in url tag is not much useful, so if i want to perform SEO for local search then url like lawsuit-funding-columbus.html is not a good choice or what?
but i was ask something about title tag, so what kind of title tag are more effective.?
<title>Lawsuit Loans - Lawsuit Loans High Point</title>
or
<title>Lawsuit Loans | Lawsuit Funding | As Low As 1% | Pre Settlement Funding</title>
have to use pipe, hyphen or comma to separate keyword

The issue Prince with adding nofollow tags to those links is that the search engines will then not follow them and if you have no other links to those pages then they will not be indexed.

Hi Prince
My best advice for SEO is as I said before: focus on creating quality content about lawsuit loans grow your business and website by doing that and through social media.
SEO tricks and tactics won't help the site and will quite possibly hurt it. SEO today is not really about tactics but being strategic and is about having a high quality content strategy that engages with the information people are looking for and not gaming keywords.
The problem is with your pages in general. The inside pages of your site look like they contain a lot of duplicate content, e.g.
http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/lawsuit-funding-lasvegas.html v http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/lawsuit-funding-cleveland.html
and
http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/lawsuit-funding-cleveland.html v http://www.topnotchlawsuitloans.com/lawsuit-funding-columbus.html
You have sentences like: _In Cincinnati, the process of lawsuit is often very time consuming and long. _Is that really true and unique of Cincinatti? Surely that would be true of most places.
If I am honest it looks like you have used a content spinner to generate the content on the pages on each of the cities and states. For example on the Columbus page it says: If any plaintiff’s need money and cannot wait to get money from the lawsuit, Lawsuit Funding Cincinnati is here for help.
I'm not trying to give you a hard time Prince. I understand you want to do the best for your client and your client will require you do the best for them. That best is not using the tactics you are now because as I say, these tactics will not help your site to rank for local search in these cities - speak to Miriam Ellis on Moz as she is an expert on local SEO - and at worst you will get hit my warnings from Google.
Sorry, but I hope that helps.

but client don't want to do any kind of changes in that page, so any other best suggestion for that ? i will add no follow tag for that all page links, so suggest me some ideas for best SEO for this website

Hi, I am not sure what to suggest to you other than to be cautious with the way you are optimising your site.
You have posted a few questions on this forum and you are obviously trying hard to SEO you site, but you could run into difficulty and put in a lot of effort with little or no results.
I had a look at your site: topnotchlawsuitloans.com and the tactics you are using will not work. For example, creating custom pages for Lawsuit Loans <city name="">or <state name="">(see attached screenshot) without local offices in those cities and states will not work and is likely to be seen as very spammy by Google.</state></city>
My best advice is to focus on creating quality content about lawsuit loans grow your business and website by doing that and through social media.
I hope that helps,
Peter

H1 tag within on top nav but css class styled appear at bottom
Hi, Sorry the similar question could have been ask previously but I couldn't get an exact answer. Someone put a h1 tag on our homepage (which do not have before) and the is within the top nav. But it has a css style class in that h1 tag to make it appear at the bottom of the page so not everyone would be aware of that small h1 title. I personally do not think that's going to help with seo. However I want to know if this practice is going to be: beneficial, or not at all? or harmful instead? Thanks LM

Multiple Similar Product Variations - Page layout, Title and SEO best practice??
Im doing some research into SEO for our new web design. I sell designer eyewear prescription and sunglasses. Lets take a Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglass it comes in 30 colours and 3 sizes for each model. Up till now i was of the impression that for best practice SEO i would need to have each individual variation as its own page, this would also help with things like google shopping too. So for example heres 1 colour product in 3 sizes of 30 colour variations for this particular model. Ray Ban Wayfarer RB2140
Web Design | | Craigboi1987
Colour: Black 901
Sizes: 47, 50, 54 Currently my urls looks like this with a new page and the size changing on the end for each variation. Ray Ban Wayfarer RB2140 - Black 901 - 47 URL: www.mywebsite.com/ray-ban-wayfarer-rb2140.html?colour=Black+901&size=47 Ray Ban Wayfarer RB2140 - Black 901 - 50 URL: www.mywebsite.com/ray-ban-wayfarer-rb2140.html?colour=Black+901&size=50 Ray Ban Wayfarer RB2140 - Black 901 - 54 URL: www.mywebsite.com/ray-ban-wayfarer-rb2140.html?colour=Black+901&size=54 This is very time consuming and I'm not sure if its adding any benefit to my SEO in fact scared its actually a) slowing my site down (content heavy)
b) looking like duplicate content I am thinking about moving towards a page more like this were it would be just be a model with variations. (not effecting the title/getting a new page per variation) http://demoleotheme.com/vigoss/index.php/atomic-endurance-running-tee-crew-neck.html I am not sure of the pros and cons of doing it this way over the way I'm doing it currently all i know is my site is ranking horribly. Lastly I'm currently running a magento V1.9 store which is renowned for duplicate content slow site speeds etc so have been told moving to woo commerce would benefit me for both site performance and seo but I'm skeptical as currently with this structure of a each SKU being a new page il be up to 8000+ products and multiple product variations that it can handle my needs, anyone with any experience on woo commerce platform? (this might be a operate question apologise) This is absolutely frying my brain so any advice appreciated. Im prepared to put every dying second into just need some solid advice in which direction to go!0 -
Script tags and seo
Hi, I have a page on my site with a google map embed, and a path drawn on the map. The path is made from a long string of coordinates. For ease I have the co-ordinates placed in a script tag at the foot of the page, amongst my javascript My question is, will this script tag hurt the seo for the page? I've read that inline js and 'data islands' can be bad, so I've been careful to keep it out of the main body of the page. Thanks, any help appreciated!

Duplicate Titles for Large Lists
Our blog (www.cowleyweb.com/blog) has recently been given topic categories so we can utilize our old blogs. Otherwise, users would only see what's new and never look back (our blogs are organized by the month they were published) and all that hard work would kind of be a waste after a while. So we came up with a few topics (i.e. social media, internet marketing, etc.) and adding those as tags to blogs. Now, users can click the topics and get a results page on our blog of all the previously published blogs related to that topic. Sounds great. BUT, it's hurting our SEO crawl report. If the list goes beyond one page of search results, the 2nd and subsequent pages get dinged as "duplicate title" b/c they share the same title (i.e. "Social Media"). How can I fix this? I'm not the web designer but something tells me maybe some sort of tag that says "Page 2" or something would do the trick. We use Drupal which is good for customization. I assume tons of bloggers and websites have dealt with this problem. Please help. Want to give the web guy some solutions. Thank you.

H1 tag optimization question
Hey folks, I've got a question about h1 coding. Our H1 tags are currently coded like this: [http://www.rapitup.com/mf-doom](<a href=)" class=" current">MF Doom Do you think this would be better? [http://www.rapitup.com/mf-doom](<a href=)" class=" current"> MF Doom My guess is that the second example would be better, and even if not better we know it's not worse. Thoughts? Thanks!

How will engines deal with duplicate head elements e.g. title or canonicals?
Obviously duplicate content is never a good thing...on separate URL's. Question is, how will the engines deal with duplicate meta tags on the same page. Example Head Tag: <title>Example Title - #1</title> <title>Example Title - #2</title> My assumption is that Google (and others) will take the first instance of the tag, such that "Example Title - #1" and canonical = "http://www.example.com" would be considered for ranking purposes while the others are disregarded. My assumption is based on how SE's deal with duplicate links on a page. Is this a correct assumption? We're building a CMS-like service that will allow our SEO team to change head tag content on the fly. The easiest solution, from a dev perspective, is to simply place new/updated content above the preexisting elements. I'm trying to validate/invalidate the approach. Thanks in advance.
