Hi Atul,
Just wanted to let you know that the questions in Pro are indexed and visible in Google right away. Right now, this post ranks #9 for that domain name on Google, so if your client searches their domain name they might find this post.

Atul,
in long term you can find duplicate content if you don't prevent it. (just because there might be some path problem).
For ex.
you have product A that can be reached through Cat. A or Cat. B, so you will have two paths:
example.com/catA/prodA
example.com/catB/prodA
Which will be the same product reached from two pages -> two different URls with same content -> duplicate content
Regarding Frames:
Currently you have 1 URL because of the frames.
If you would go for 1 page for each product, then you could optimize better the content for the specific keywords.

Thanks a lot for such useful suggestions.
" It is a lot healthier to have a site that can be crawled more easily by the search engines."
Do you mean that search spiders won't crawl the site easily becaise of spiders ?
Also, where do you find duplicate content on the site.

Hi Atul,
First of all I would advice to get rid of frames. It is a lot healthier to have a site that can be crawled more easily by the search engines.
2nd: you miss a lot of on-page optimization elements.
3rd: if the website is going to grow in products over time, you should think about information architecture. Go check in advance if you can get duplicate content issues because of multiple paths that can reach 1 product, and try to eliminate it. (p.s. advice - check for a faceted navigation at the products, maybe it will help you out)
4th: don't forget that content is king. Check for the keywords which you are targeting, create a keyword mapping, then on the most important pages/keywords write awesome content! And I mean the best you can deliver. This way you will give a boost from content.
5th: custom 404 pages, sitemaps...
Basically you still have a lot to do on the website.
Good luck with it!
I hope it helped,
Istvan

Expired Content for Annual Events - Advice Please?
Hi, I've started working with a client that provides VIP packages for various sporting events. They have a number of landing pages for these specific events that happen every year. What's the best way to go about maintaining traffic and optimising these pages going forward? I looked to see how some of their competitors are handling this and they seem to create a new landing page for the following year and simply add a '301 Permanent Redirect' to the old (expired event) so it points to the next one. Is this the best approach or is there a better way to handle this? Alternatively, would it be OK to simply change the dates on the existing page to the following years dates (when available) or simply add a 'Dates TBC' with some basic information. Help/advice would be appreciated 🙂

Bullet points good or bad for seo?
Hi Everyone, After a body of unique content of say 50 words, will Google then penalise you for adding bullet points which will then be duplicated across all those products (say 100 products)? http://www.polesandblinds.com/acacia-teal-roller-blind/? Look forward to your comments, good or bad, Thanks Jonathan

Is Anybody Familiar With This SEO Reporting Tool?
Just for kicks, I decided to pay 5 bucks for an SEO Report on a website I was working on for a client. Yea FIVERR. The report was actually not too bad and I was able to clean up a bunch of stuff. Here is a link to other sites on the internet who use this tool. I would like to use it for myself so I'm trying to figure out the source of the report. Here are a few urls to the reports. Remove the two stars in the URL. I don't want to give them a backlink. http://rapid**purple.com/services/free-seo-analysis/

Hotspot area for SEO
Hi, we have an online store: http://www.redwrappings.com.au/ There's been a debate regarding which area is recognised to be the most important place/hotspot for SEO: Free delivery van area (top left panel) OR Top menu navigation Given that if you look at the page html source code, the top navigation loads last and the free delivery fan area is the first one to be read in the html source code. We did this because we want the body page content (h1 & text content) to be read first by search engine robot & also the body can load faster for the user. Is this the right thing to do or we better off load the top navigation first? Thanks

Two points of view on optimizing our search pages. What should we go with?
So we're in the process of going back and forth with our designer about optimizing our search results, which also doubles as a landing page for visitors searching with keywords like "Meeting Rooms Seattle" and "Seattle Meeting Spaces" We're on the front page in the SERPs, but still have a way to go. This is our current page: http://www.evenues.com/Meeting-Spaces/Seattle/Washington And this is something we've proposed for our designer to work with: http://imgur.com/JU1zg There search page text and links in the top left corner were to be placed for onsite SEO purposes ie we have no real text/content on the page for relevancy. We're currently in the process of writing the copy for each city on the search pages. Our designer made this argument: After giving it some thought I came to the conclusion that we may want to take a step back, and focus on the overall goal of this exercise. From what I have gathered, you would like to generate more click-throus and improve SEO, right? In my opinion, adding all of the provided copy and the link farm to the search results page would not necessarily help that. In fact, I think it would actually push the actual results way down. The content you provided me is more suited for a landing page, not a search results page (that is taking into consideration that you want similar content for other locations). Redfin has done a ton of great SEO work on their site. Using them as an example, if you go to Redfin.com, you will find tiny links in the footer that say "home for sale in seattle" etc. If you click on those, it puts you on a page like this: http://www.redfin.com/cities/1/seattle?src=homepage and then from there you can click to a neighborhood page like this: http://www.redfin.com/city/1387/WA/Bellevue. I would recommend that we create a set of location pages with the content the client is asking for, that are specifically optimized for SEO, and provide links in the footer of the site to get to those pages. Then the links on the new landing pages would land the user on the search results page. By keeping two different pages for two different purposes separate would help keep content more organized and help user find specific info they are looking for. As a quick fix we could put one line of text under the H1 text on search results as well, maybe with a strong tag. By doing that we will be able to keep the page looking clean and easy to navigate through. Anyways, that's just my two cents. Any ideas/input on this?
