Homepage display for seo
-
hi,
Which is the best , seo speaking, about the homepage display with a CMS (joomla here).
1/ To display articles as "blog" and thus articles are always recent but not the same (chronological)..
2/ To display always a same article (just 1) but updated sometimes to times ?
3/ Both of them are good ?
Tks a lot in advance..
-
i agree
-
Merci beaucoup ! that's clear enough for me !

I usually put on the home page a lot of links when I don't want to rank the homepage for specific keyword (or when it's too hard to rank). My homepage has to give it's juice the best way, so :
-
First the top pages of my site (selected manually, or the most popular ones), so you may put the articles you want to rank the most
-
Then the pages recently created to index them faster in Google and give content freshness to the domain
-
Finally the pages with recent activity (update, comments, etc.), this usually allow old pages to get some fresh internal link
-
-
Ok tks a lot

Tks a lot..

I mean because of link sculpting, all popular patterns lead to the home page haveing the highest pr

You can go with any one from these approach. Main thing how much interesting content is. Content should be useful for the users.
Regarding SEO Purpose, updations is major ethics and both approach is going to update content on regular basis, so you can go with any approach.
-
You mean that when you link something internal , the path is always www.mydomain.com/article so the root is always mentioned and then bring mor juicy link, weight and so on ?
-
It usely ius because of internal linking, and being the root
-
Ok, tks, homepage is important, but the other pages also !
A homepage is not always "the page" with the highest PR, isn't ?
A page on the same domain can bring higher Pr according its content, internal/external links, backlinks...
-
ok, so it depends the seo "weight" of the page in fact ...
-
No, not really. Technically if the number of outgoing links changed drastically you could alter the flow of page rank on the website, but I wouldn't fuss about it.
-
no i wouldent have the blog on the home page as suggested you lose control of the on page. Use the blog to increase content elsewhere
-
Many thanks for your reply..
Up to know (for more than 2 years) i 've got a still homepage, i 'd like to change now rather for a blog "presentation", does this change could influence something for the PR of the page or domain ?
-
Personally I've seen both approaches work well, and I don't think Google favours either type of website.
A more dynamic homepage is harder though to optimize for specific keywords - as your posts change you may end up not having your top target keywords on the home page in some instances. You can solve this by having a portion of the text on the home page static.

Types of SEO Help
I have a web site that is going well but I think it could be better as far as usability and design. Also, I am sure an SEO professional would have some things to do to optimize. It seems though, that all the SEO companies either want to have along term contract or they don't work with my technology. Does anyone know of a company that would take my Visual Studio/C# project and tweak it for usability, design and SEO features for an hourly or set price?

Importance of SEO Friendly URLs
Hey SEOZ! How important do you all think SEO friendly URLs are to SEO. Here is an example: Non: http://www.domain.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=2964 Friendly: http://www.domain.com/product_name_here.html I have always heard mixed reviews but did an experiment comparing results on the same domain and actually noticed quite a difference with the friendly ones. Thanks!

Advertising and negative impact on SEO
On one of my sites, I've been trying to get the word out by contacting blogs and asking them to share my site with their readers. This has resulted in some free publicity for my site, as well as quite a few paid reviews/sponsored posts. Note, however, that I've never paid for links, just reviews of my site... When I started this about 2 months ago, my site was a PR3 and getting fairly lowsy organic search traffic (i.e. 30-40 visits a day from Google). Then a few days ago, my PR dropped to 1. I didn't worry too much though, because my organic traffic was still around 30-40 visits a day. Now today, I checked and I only had 1 visitor the entire day from Google. Obviously I've been penalized. My most important question is, what can I do? Do I have an recourse, or do I need to just shut the domain down and move elsewhere? Second, wtf is Google penalizing this? I understand the argument against paid links, but should I not be allowed to advertise my site? Apparently I can buy links all day long through Google and they'll happily take my money, but the minute I pay some poor blogger to write an article about my site to their audience, I get penalized? Please help, I can't believe I just destroyed one of my sites like this!

Updated title tags not displayed in SERPs?
A couple weeks ago I updated the title tags and URLs of some of my site's top landing pages, but the new versions aren't indexed in Google. Webmaster tools says that my site has been crawled since updated. I'm using a pretty old version of Joomla for a CMS, and had to fight with the plugins a little bit to make it all work (sh404SEF for the URLs and sh404SEF Custom Tag Module for the title tags). For example, www.radiussecurityinc.com's indexed title is still: Radius Security Solutions | Home But should be: CCTV System Design - IP Industrial Surveillance | Radius Security Other pages besides the home page have the old title tags as well as old URLs. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks a lot in advance! Jeff

Why was my homepage kicked out from results, but not my internal pages?
My domain's homepage has been ranking 1st position for an specific term for about 8 months. Our domain got hacked and it took just one day to make the website right again. A week after our homepage didn't appear anymore in Google results, it isn't even indexed. However the rest of our internal pages keep being indexed and ranking as usual. How can I make my homepage appear again in the results? Is there a way to speed up this process? Will it be in the same position as before, or will it have some sort of penalization for the hacking?
