Page structure and how to optimize old content
-
SITE STRUCTURE
I am trying to optimize the structure of our site Dreamestatehuahin.com. Getting a visible sitemap of my page make me realized it was not a pyramid as I expected it to be but instead very flat.
I Would be happy for some advise on how to structure my site in future aswell how to optimize certain place on the page that i think need a change.
1: structure on posts.
Maybe I misunderstand how post works in wordpress or something happen with my theme.
When I look at my page sitemap my page is VERY flat because permalinks setting I chose the setting as post name (recommended in most articles). http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/sample-post
What I actually believed was that post name was place after /blog/ like:
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/blog/sample-post I would be a good idea to do like this right?
Should I add some SEO text on the top of my blog page before the actually posts. Or would this be a bad idea due to pagination causing double content?
Could one do 4 blogs in one site and replace the name “blog” in the url with a keywords
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/real-estate-announcement/sample-post
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/hua-hin-attractions/sample-post
2) Pages Based on property type
From our top menu, i have made links under for sael using wordpress property types
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-type/villa/
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-type/hot-deals/
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-type/condominium/
Earlier I found that these pages created duplictaon of titles due to pagenation so I deleted the h1
What would you do with these pages. Should I optimize them with a text and h1. maybe it is possible to add some title and text content for the top of the first page only (the one page that are linked to our top menu)
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-type/villa
and not to page 2, 3, 4…..
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-type/villa/page/2/
b) Also maybe I should rename the property types
WOuld it make sence to change name of the property types from etc villa to villas for sale or even better villas for sale hua hin
Then the above urls will look like this instead:
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-type/villas-for-sale/
Or Maybe renaming a property type would result in many 404 errors and not be worth the effort?
3) LINKING + REPOSTING OUR “PROPERTY” PAGES AND DO A 301 REDIRECT?
a) Would It be good idea to link back from all properties description to one of our 5 optimized landingpages (for the keyword home/house/condo/villa) for sale in Hua Hin?
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-hua-hin/
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/house-for-sale-hua-hin/
b) Also so far we haven’t been really good about optimizing each property (no keywords, optimized titles or descriptions)
etc. http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property/baan-suksamran/
I wonder if it would be worth the effort to optimize content of each of the old properties )photos-text) on our page?
Or maybe post the old properties again in a new optimized version and do a 301 redirect from the old post?

Hi Tamir,
First of all welcome to the Moz community!
I would propose you to take a few hours and watch the following two mozinars:
- http://moz.com/webinars/advanced-wordpress-seo
- http://moz.com/webinars/internal-linking-a-scientific-scalable-approach
The advanced Wordpress SEO helped me a lot in understanding how to approach the technical implementations on Wordpress for SEO purposes. It is quite old, but I do not think it is outdated at all.
I hope these help respond your questions.
Gr., Keszi

Will google be able to crawl all of the pages given that the pages displayed or the info on a page varies according to the city of a user?
So the website I am working for asks for a location before displaying the product pages. There are two cities with multiple warehouses. Based on the users' location, the product pages available in the warehouse serving only in that area are shown. If the user skips location, default warehouse-related product pages are shown. The APIs are all location-based.

Should I optimize the login page? Will it affect the website SEO ranking?
I'm trying to resolve the site crawl issues that we have on our website. One of the links that has different issue types together is our login page. Currently we have two login pages that have the same content but different sub domains. **However I'm wondering if optimizing SEO on our login pages affects our website SEO ranking and if it's something better to do or not. ** To point out the details of the issues, the issue types that the logins pages have are "duplicate title", "duplicate content", "missing H1", "missing description", "thin content", "missing canonical tag" I'd appreciate your help, thank you!

SEO implications of using Marketing Automation landing pages vs on-site content
Hi there, I'm hoping someone can help here... I'm new to a company where due to the limitations of their Wordpress instance they've been creating what would ordinarily be considered pages in the standard sitemap as landing pages in their Pardot marketing automation platform. The URL subdomain is slightly different. Just wondering if anybody could quickly outline the SEO implications of doing this externally instead of directly on their site? Hope I'm making some sense... Thanks,

I need help on how best to do a complicated site migration. Replacing certain pages with all new content and tools, and keeping the same URL's. The rest just need to disappear safely. Somehow.
I'm completely rebranding a website but keeping the same domain. All content will be replaced and it will use a different theme and mostly new plugins. I've been building the new site as a different site in Dev mode on WPEngine. This means it currently has a made-up domain that needs to replace the current site. I know I need to somehow redirect the content from the old version of the site. But I'm never going to use that content again. (I could transfer it to be a Dev site for the current domain and automatically replace it with the click of a button - just as another option.) What's the best way to replace blahblah.com with a completely new blahblah.com if I'm not using any of the old content? There are only about 4 URL'st, such as blahblah.com/contact hat will remain the same - with all content replaced. There are about 100 URL's that will no longer be in use or have any part of them ever used again. Can this be done safely?

Facebook page optimization
I'm working with a client who is "under attack" by one unhappy customer. That customer created a Facebook page to share her outrage, and her page is outranking my client's (consistently immediately above his FB page). I've checked all of the obvious things... page name page URL About section, and all business-related data He has MANY more "Likes" than she does, makes posts far more frequently (with much better Engagement), references his company name in almost every Post (as she does), and on and on. My main question is this... are there one or two factors that seem to have the most impact on how a given FB page ranks? Thanks for your help, Moz family! 🙂

Need help with duplicate content. Same content; different locations.
We have 2 sites that will have duplicate content (e.g., one company that sells the same products under two different brand names for legal reasons). The two companies are in different geographical areas, but the client will put the same content on each page because they're the same product. What is the best way to handle this? Thanks a lot.
