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.

SEO & IFrame problem
Hi All, I will try and keep this as simple as possible. My product page links to a separate page with an IFrame, giving my users the option to upload artwork for the product. The IFrame contains the external file upload site (mail big file). When finished, the user can use a button link to return to the product page to continue with their order. As soon as the page with the IFrame was crawled by Google, the IFrame page started to rank in place of where my product page used to rank, yet there is no content on the page relating to my product (just a file upload). So now users are visiting the IFrame via the same query which must be an absolute headache and not useful at all. I have tried the following: 1. Added a line in body text which contains an internal link pointing to the product page using exact match anchor text for the query. (This didn't work) 2. I applied a no index tag to the IFrame, and now my product page is no longer ranking at all. Can anyone help me solve this puzzle. I believe I might be missing something. Kind regards, Adam

Is Removing Breadcrumbs Detrimental for SEO?
We have full navigational breadcrumbs on our site for the menu and the brand menu. i.e. Home > Clothing > Jackets Brand > Brand Name > Brand Jackets There's been talk of removing this and having it like Chico's does, where on item pages they just have a link at the top to previous category (i.e. you're on a shirt product page and at the top it says "Back to Tops" instead of listing Home > Clothing > Tops) Is doing something like this detrimental to SEO? From what I've read Breadcrumbs are for user experience but I just want to be sure.

Mobile SEO Tips and Best Practices
Hi, Any advice on approaches for mobile SEO much appreciated. For example, what things do I need to do to optimise a mobile version of a desktop site? E.g. optimise titles, meta description, headings and copy, do I need to submit a mobile sitemap to Google? Do I need to link from the mobile page to the corresponding page on the desktop site and vice versa? Will Googlebot Mobile naturally find the site from the desktop link? What about link building for mobile sites, any thoughts on this, are there specific mobile sites that will link such as directories for a start? Any other tips or resources? Any SEOMoz resources on this? What about the same domain versus the subdomain debate about hosting the mobile site? Any thoughts? Many thanks
