How "Optimised" is my home page content
-
Good afternoon from 1 degrees C overcast frozen wetherby UK...
I've made a number of on page html markup changes to optimise the page for steel suppliers steel stockholders but I'd like to know if there are any other on page improvments I could make for this page http://www.barrettsteel.com/
Im particulary concerned that contnet in in li tags and not p, could this be an issue?
And finaaly on the home page a third party developer has slapped a header banner pointing to an external site know as woodberry tools, that cant be good can it?
Any insights welcome

I should have been more specific. While the social icon buttons should be present, you should also include the open graph protocol on the site.

Dan1el he was referencing adding social networking code to site.. Ie share on facebook, retweet, +1 google, +1 facebook..blah blah blah.
Personally given his industry, I'm not sure how many people are going to around +1'ing a Steel Supplier, but I'm a little hard headed when it comes to social networking.

Hi Nightwing,
Site looks good,
If you could slip another 1 or 2 instances of steel suppliers in there, and personally I'd also try for the long tail keyword _UK steel supplier_s. Though your company does look like a global company, in the US I would certainly type US steel suppliers before relying on a global supplier but that maybe irrelevant as I"m not in your industry, just a thought.
The banner you referenced takes me to a site with the Barrett steel logo so that makes sense if they are distributor, I would rather that it was opened in a new window / tab then moving the user off your site. It also appears to be the same template they you are using.
Overall I think it looks very good.

Sorry to jump in here! can you tell me a little more about the social code, how does it work, where can I get it?
Cheers
Daniel

First off, great looking site!
I wouldn't worry about the li tags vs the p tag - quality content will always trump any display issues.
The banner is of great concern since that is what I was tempted to click on first, thinking it would lead me to more information on your site. I noticed that you don't get a navigation option until the images for your content appears in the banner. If possible, you should really push for that same treatment for the starting image of the banner.
The only other suggestion would be to include some social code (open graph) so that you can get some link love from FB!
Hope this helps!

Duplicate Content Issues on Product Pages
Hi guys Just keen to gauge your opinion on a quandary that has been bugging me for a while now. I work on an ecommerce website that sells around 20,000 products. A lot of the product SKUs are exactly the same in terms of how they work and what they offer the customer. Often it is 1 variable that changes. For example, the product may be available in 200 different sizes and 2 colours (therefore 400 SKUs available to purchase). Theese SKUs have been uploaded to the website as individual entires so that the customer can purchase them, with the only difference between the listings likely to be key signifiers such as colour, size, price, part number etc. Moz has flagged these pages up as duplicate content. Now I have worked on websites long enough now to know that duplicate content is never good from an SEO perspective, but I am struggling to work out an effective way in which I can display such a large number of almost identical products without falling foul of the duplicate content issue. If you wouldnt mind sharing any ideas or approaches that have been taken by you guys that would be great!

What happens to content under a category page that is not indexed?
We are reevaluating our URL structure. We have a flat architecture but would like to add subfolders per recommendations here and elsewhere. Some of our category pages are ad heavy/content light so we have them no indexed. We do have lots of quality content on the site that we would like to put under some of these keyword categories. Should we leave it flat? If Google does not see that category page then there will be no link from the homepage to the content page? Now: homepage/content-page Proposed: homepage/category/content-page (category is not indexed)

Block Quotes and Citations for duplicate content
I've been reading about the proper use for block quotes and citations lately, and wanted to see if I was interpreting it the right way. This is what I read: http://www.pitstopmedia.com/sem/blockquote-cite-q-tags-seo So basically my question is, if I wanted to reference Amazon or another stores product reviews, could I use the block quote and citation tags around their content so it doesn't look like duplicate content? I think it would be great for my visitors, but also to the source as I am giving them credit. It would also be a good source to link to on my products pages, as I am not competing with the manufacturer for sales. I could also do this for product information right from the manufacturer. I want to do this for a contact lens site. I'd like to use Acuvue's reviews from their website, as well as some of their product descriptions. Of course I have my own user reviews and content for each product on my website, but I think some official copy could do well. Would this be the best method? Is this how Rottentomatoes.com does it? On every movie page they have 2-3 sentences from 50 or so reviews, and not much unique content of their own. Cheers, Vinnie
