Improving SEO Structure of a Page
-
Our site is an online Marketplace for Services.
Naturally, we have a lot of unique content in the form of :
a) Job Posts
b) Profiles of Service ProvidersWe also have 2 very important pages:
a) The Job Listing Page
b) The Service Provider PageThe Listing pages have very valuable H1 Titles, but everything else is duplicate content.
To capture those keywords currently in H1, we have created a different landing page for each category page, and we`ll optimize around that, so these H1s are not that big of a deal any more.
These landing pages are the key to our SEO strategy and we are building new content every day to help them rank
I want to make the Listing Pages No Index Follow.
This way they pass Juice to Jobs, and Profiles which have unique contents, but are not indexed themselves.
Is this a bad idea?
I have been thinking about doing this for over a year but it never felt important enough to be worth the risk of accidentally screwing up
We `ll soon do a new on page flow optimization and that's why I am considering this again.
Thank you so much in advance

I agree. I'm advising you to leave them in the index.

Cheers for the immediate answers. Really appreciate it. The truth is when u see these 2 pages account for 60% of Organic clean, it's scary to no index them

I wouldn't NOINDEX a page that accounts for 60% of organic visits as that would be a major blow to your site overall. Are the other full-text pages not receiving any organic visits currently?
While the content is duplicate in the sense that it's pulling snippets from the full-text pages, the combinations on the listing pages are unique.
I would look into ways to enhance the full-text pages if they're currently not receiving visits from search before deciding to NOINDEX the listing pages. Cheers!

H1 and Title Tags are the same yes Thomas.
That's a great question. These 2 pages now account for 60% of the Organic Clean traffic.
Outside of the H1, the rest of the page is duplicate content.
For example, the job listing page is a listing of all Jobs.
It contains the Title, and the first 3 lines of each job description.
I am assuming that (almost immediately) if these pages become no index, the pages with the full text will appear.

Ryan you took the words out of my mouth man.
Can I ask why you are referring to "H1 Titles," are you using your H1 & the title tag as one field?
if you have is a lot of duplicate content can you give me an idea as to a percentage or use http://www.siteliner.com/ to find this information this will give us much needed information.
All the best,
Tom

Use Internal Search pages as Landing Pages?
Hi all Just a general discussion question about Internal Search pages and using them for SEO. I've been looking to "noindexing / follow" them, but a lot of the Search pages are actually driving significant traffic & revenue. I've over 9,000 search pages indexed that I was going to remove, but after reading this article (https://www.oncrawl.com/technical-seo/seo-internal-search-results/) I was wondering if any of you guys have had success using these pages for SEO, like with using auto-generated content. Or any success stories about using the "noindexing / follow"" too. Thanks!

Page speed in relation to SEO
I cannot seem to find any information about this, so I thought I would try to get a few people's opinion. How do you think pagespeed is measured in terms of Google using it as a ranking factor? Do you think they use their internal Pagespeed app? Something during the crawl? Your GA site speed?

What is the best practice to seperate different locations and languages in an URL? At the moment the URL is www.abc.com/ch/de. Is there a better way to structure the URL from an SEO perspective?
I am looking for a solution for using a new URL structure without using www.abc.com**/ch/de** in the URL to deliver the right languages in specific countries where more than one language are spoken commonly. I am looking forward to your ideas!

What is the best way to find missing alt tags on my site (site wide - not page by page)?
I am looking to find all the missing alt tags on my site at once. I have a FF extension that use to do it page by page, but my site is huge and that will take forever. Thanks!!

Questionable SEO
Chess Telecom appears first when you search for 'business phone lines' in the UK so I used a campaign to check them out. It seems they've got tons of unrelated links and using comment spamming to increase their ranking. Along with fake twitter accounts and other things. Search for 'jewel jubic chess' and you'll see what i mean. I assumed this wasnt a good idea and been trying to get my link on relevant websites only. Any comments or suggestions? Should I simply trust that google will hopefully punish them eventually? Or should I be fighting fire with fire? Thanks Dan

What to do when you want the category page and landing page to be the same thing?
I'm working on structuring some of my content better and I have a dilemma. I'm using wordpress and I have a main category called "Therapy." Under therapy I want to have a few sub categories such as "physical therapy" "speech therapy" "occupational therapy" to separate the content. The url would end up being mysite/speech-therapy. However, those are also phrases I want to create a landing page for. So I'd like to have a page like mysite.com/speech-therapy that I could optimize and help people looking for those terms find some of the most helpful content on our site for those certain words. I know I can't have 2 urls that are the same, but I'm hoping someone can give me some feedback on the best way to about this. Thanks.

Diagnostic says too many links on a page and most of the pages are from blog entries. Are tags considered links? How do I decrease links?
I just ran my first diagnostic on my site and the results came back were negative in the area of too many links one a page. There were also quite a few 404 errors. What is the best way to fix these problems? Most of the pages with too many links are from blog posts, are the tags counted as well and is this the reason for too many links?
