How do you measure content on a website?
-
I never thought of this question before. Maybe because i didn't focus myself on content but only on optimizing existing content from clients.
So how do you measure the content on a specific page?
-
There are several ways to measure the success of the content and these can be divided into two categories - quality and quantity metrics
Quantity metrics
-
visitor engagement metrics (time spent on page, bounce rate, page view per visit)
-
conversion metrics (orders / conversion driven by the content)
-
social metrics (facebook likes/shares, tweets and other share metrics)
-
of subscribers to rss feed (if the content is a part of blog)
-
of comments
-
Rank of keywords driving organic traffic to the page
Quality metrics
-
quality of comments
-
quality of social shares
-
Feedback received from users
-
LDA score (although LDA is a quantity metric it fits the quality criteria because the LDA algorithm essentially is a mathematical indication of how relevant the content is to a keyword)

How do you 'close down' a website?
Hello all, If a company acquires a smaller company and 'absorbs' its products and services into its own website, what is the protocol with closing down the smaller company's site? So far we added our branding to the site alerting their visitors to the imminent takeover, and 301 redirected certain pages - soon we'll be redirecting all the pages to their counterparts on the main website. Once that's done, should we noindex the old site? Anything else? Thanks, Caro

The categories on my website can be viewed as 24/48 or All products but because the quanity constantly changes viewing 24 or 48 products isn't always possible. To point Google in the right direction I want to let them know that "View All" is the best way to go.
I've read that Google's crawler tries to do this automatically but not sure if this is the case on on my website. Here is some more info on the issue: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663744?hl=en

Similar Content vs Duplicate Content
We have articles written for how to setup pop3 and imap. The topics are technically different but the settings within those are very similar and thus the inital content was similar. SEOMoz reports these pages as duplicate content. It's not optimal for our users to have them merged into one page. What is the best way to handle similar content, while not getting tagged for duplicate content?
