Good links pratice for listing pages?
-
Hello,
I'm wondering which is the best way to handle this kindle of page...
You can have a look at my screen capture, or see directly my page here.
I've in my case, for the same "ski resort", 3 differents anchor link type (title, image and more info…), all of them are going on the same page.
I know it's not that good, my idea, it to keep only the more info like, but with a better anchor link, something like : more information about this ski resort...
Thanks in advance
Best regards

All juice goes to first link unless you # the link.

Thanks Richard!
I get it
Does Google divise the PR of my link if some are duplicate? That's why I want to clean up my page..

sorry, text is better. I would not remove any of them. It does not matter which one is clicked on so long as the visitor clicks. Google will only count the first link instance so make sure your anchor text (or image alt text) is using good keywords.
If you really want to see which one is performing, you can use a Google campaign in analytics to track. If you need that information, let me know.

Thanks Richard,
I'm not sure to fully understand, if I remove (in my case) the link on the image, and the title of the articles, and make a better "more info" link, it'll be better that what I've got no ?
-
Thanks Andy.
I'm checking that point...
-
Google only counts the first link instance so more info (if lower in the code) will not pass juice. The only way that I know to have all three links pass juice is to # the links.
-
There is something of a trade-off here. Whilst the search engines don't really like multiple links, you also have to look at which links most visitors click on.
Have you done a heat map of your pages to see which are the most popular links?
-
Thanks Andy.
I agree, I need to find a good text anchor, the "ski resort" will be remplaced with the name of the station.
But what do you think about to keep only one link? On my page, I've got 4 same link per station to the same page...
-
In these sort of circumstances, you want to make the anchor text as enticing as possible because you want someone to click on the link. Something like you said "More information about this Ski Resort" is OK, but is it a little bit long?
"View Ski Resort info"
"More on this Ski Resort"
"View this Ski resort"
Just a few ideas.
Regards,
Andy

How do I prevent duplicate page title errors from being generated by my multiple shop pages?
Our e-commerce shop has numerous pages within the main shop page. Users navigate through the shop via typical pagination. So while there may be 6 pages of products it's all still under the main shop page. Moz keeps flagging my shop pages as having duplicate titles (ie shop page 2). But they're all the same page. Users aren't loading unique pages each time they go to the next page of products and they aren't pages I can edit. I'm not sure how to prevent this issue from popping up on my reports.

Dealing with high link juice/low value pages?
How do people deal with low value pages on sites which tend to pool pagerank and internal links? For example log in pages, copyright, privacy notice pages, etc. I know recently Matt Cutts did a video saying don't worry about them, and in the past we all know various strategies like nofollow, etc. were effective but no more. Are there any other tactics or techniques with dealing with these pages and leveraging them for SEO benefit? Maybe having internal links on these pages to strategically pass off some of the link juice?

What is meant by to many on page links
I have just done the report for my site http://www.in2town.co.uk and it says i have 246 on page links but i am not sure how come i have got that many. I know i have a large number of links and in the old days it says that you should keep the links under 100 but now with website speed and the net, people are saying this is no longer listened to. A report i read said that the links should not confuse the reader or put them off, so i am just wondering what your thoughts are on a site with over a 100 links on the home page and also if my site does have to many links what should i do about it. I cannot understand why it is showing 246 when i do not see that many on the page, any advice would be great

Has Google stopped rendering author snippets on SERP pages if the author's G+ page is not actively updated?
Working with a site that has multiple authors and author microformat enabled. The image is rendering for some authors on SERP page and not for others. Difference seems to be having an updated G+ page and not having a constantly updating G+ page. any thoughts?

Too many on page links
Hello I have about 800 warnings with this. Example of one url with this problem is: http://www.theprinterdepo.com/clearance?dir=asc&order=price I was checking and I think all links are important. But I suppose that if I put a nofollow on the links on the left which are only for navigation purposes I can get rid of these warnings. Any other idea?
