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.

Images on Website for SEO
Good Morning, We have a magento website with hundreds of different products that have slight size variations. The image for each of these products looks the same (the only difference between the products is some of the dimensions) .... Would you recommend using the same image for each of these products and just use a generic file name that describes the overall product or would you give each product its own image with it's specific product name as the file name? Should I use 1 image for 500 different sku's or should i rename the file the name of each individual sku and load an individual image? The end user will not know the difference since all of the images will appear identical, simply asking from an SEO perspective. Thanks

Technical SEO question re: java
Hi, I have an SEO question that came my way, but it's a bit too technical for me to handle. Our entire ecom site is in java, which apparently writes to a page after it has loaded and is not SEO-friendly. I was presented with a work-around that would basically consist of us pre redering an html page to search engines and leaving the java page for the customer. It sounds like G's definition of "cloaking" to me, but I wanted to know if anyone has any other ideas or work-arounds (if there are any) on how we can make the java based site more SEO-friendly. Any thoughts/comments you have would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Title Tag for homepage Not displaying correctly in Google Search Results
Hi We have a problem with how Google is is displaying our title tag when a user does a search on our company name Increation. I have attached two images of how the title tag for our Homepage is dispayed in Google Search Results. One of them is "increations" - this is the result which is displaying incorrectly. The other shows Kitchens | Bathrooms | | Luxury Kitchens | - which is how we want the title tag to be dispalyed. This inorreclt result is only displayed when a user types in Increation into Google. (BTW it only happens on Google, not the other search engines). To give you some background an external SEO company did some work for us (before I joined as usual :-)). They built a lot of anchor links with the word "Increations" pointing back to our home page. Is this whats causing the probelm? Also how can we resolve this issue so that the correct Title Tag is displayed. Thanks for your help. Mik increation_search_results_google#hyhfZ
