SEO for One Page Websites
-
Hi
Are there any SEO guidelines for "one page websites". I'm looking into the 'benefit' it might have in combination with exact match URLs.
Many thanks in advance.
-
Yes, if a service is no longer active, we would 301 it to the landing page on the main domain.
-
I guess you would 301 if the offer doesn't exist/apply anymore and canonicalise if the page could have a long-term practical use even after the promotion expires. Right?
-
In essence we want to go after 1 main keyword phrase on that one-page, and we'll mention that in the metas. But your suggestion of adding more text to widen the keyword cloud is great.
-
Suppose that's not wholly unreasonable. Just make sure to have some good links (that are natural and non-spammy-looking) pointing back to the main domain.

I ran out of Good Answers clicks
I agree with you Rand. The SEO in me wants to extend to a few additional (keyword focused) pages as well. It is indeed a shame to waste good authority. Even though the website owner has a good (broad) authority website, he really wants to widen his net by adding these one page exact domain match website... and I just want to be super-prepared
-
Thanks for the link Darren - My site search on SEOmoz wasn't as successful

When it comes to single page sites, make sure you're matching strategy appropriately. It's very hard to win the long tail, and there's often a lot of domain authority value (if the site/page earns lots of links) that goes unspent, meaning you could have more pages/content that could rank well if you added them to the site.
I like to think of these one-pagers as being great promotional vehicles that can later be wrapped into a larger marketing/brand effort by rel-canonicaling or 301'ing back to a reproduction of the content on your larger site. Maybe it's just the thrifty SEO in me, but I hate to see that domain authority wasted

I second the dont be scared of document size recommendation BUT you need to understand the audience you're trying to access and what you want them to do - you havent given us anything to go on really
If people are already pre-bought in and you just want to capture email addresses, then you just need somethign simple and use conversion optimisation to maximise capture
If its early in the buying cycle and you are trying to educate customers, then go to town - add maps, video, images etc as appropritae and make sure to tag them well.
I have also started to write my content with the SEOmoz LDA tool - its pretty fantastic for making sure you don't miss anything important out and end up with a rich, informative page
-
My advice is not to be scared of document size. Have as much data in there as needed to inform and provide regular call to action throughout. Good semantic structure will help Google understand what you're really about. Don't stuff your TITLE with many things - I am guessing you're about a single product or service. Often people try to put too much in key areas, forgetting that Google will pick up miscellaneous other terms from the page and have it rank for it as well.
-
Well the guide is still very good. However, one might add some sharing buttons for Twitter/Facebook, as these seem to be important rankingfactors nowadays.

More important SEO
Hello, I was wondering where my time is most valuable. I have a linking tree as follows: Main Site > Product > Specific Product Is the Product page more important to add SEO or is the end deep linked page "specific product" more important? I'm ready to hear the answers of whatever gives a better customer experience and both... Thanks!

Duplicate Page Content
Hi, I am new to the MOZ Pro community. I got the below message for many of my pages. We have a video site so all content in the page except the video link would be different. How can i handle such pages. Can we place adsense AD's on these pages? Duplicate Page Content Code and content on this page looks similar or identical to code and content on other pages on your site. Search engines may not know which pages are best to include in their index and rankings. Common fixes for this issue include 301 redirects, using the rel=canonical tag, and using the Parameter handling tool in Google Webmaster Central. For more information on duplicate content, visit http://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content. Please help me to know how to handle this.. Regards

How to rank well on 2 keywords - 2 separate pages or 1 combined page
Hi, I have a website about allergy. We ar developing new content, and through keyword research I have discovered that "dog allergy" and "cat allergy" are both very common searches. However, the cause, and symtoms are very alike for these 2 types of allergy so it would make sense to combine the two allergies on one page. So my question is: What do I choose to increase my chances to ranke the best I can for both "cat allergy", and "dog allergy"? Should I develop 2 separate pages for cat & dog allergy or should I do a combined page? (We would of course review the texts so no duplicate content/text would be used if we chose to have 2 pages) I would be so greatful for your advice!! Kind regards, Jeanette

How to fix duplicate page content and page titles?
Apologies in advance if this has already been answered (it probably has) - I'm just not seeing it. Is there a guide on here for how to fix the issues brought up by the crawler - specifically, things like duplicate page content, or duplicate page titles? A lot of these seem to have been created by wordpress.org combos that I didn't anticipate - i.e., category pages, author pages, etc. The crawler brings up the problems, but I don' t know where to start to go about fixing them. Also, any guide on best SEO practices or fixing optimization problems, specifically for wordpress.org blogs, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Multiple silos/products/landing pages. How to design the root page for conversion?
Hi everyone, First post. Tried a few awkward searches on the topic but I must be using bad keywords. I'm re-designing a site that has multiple products and matching multiple audiences. This means we have multiple sillos for multiple groups of keywords with the supporting pages for each silo landing page. Currently I'm working on updating the look and text of those landing pages for each silo to increase conversion. This leaves me with the root web page. We get quite a lot of search traffic from people searching our brand name - so this results in clicks straight through to our root domain. There are no product specific landing pages because it could be any one of the 3-5 different personas we have hitting the site from that source. Does anyone have any good examples of where a site has had multiple products and needed to segregate their audience on a root top page? I'd like to see some examples and hear peoples thoughts. At the moment I'm thinking I need to fill that page up with trust factors as to why people should use us as a company, along with navigational elements in relation to each and every product so they can click through to the proper landing page. The main way I can see on executing that is to have a rotating banner with the same tag line "this is what we do" but be alternating between banners relating to each product.. with their own click through button to go to the respective landing page. Thoughts anyone? Example of sites doing this well?
