Getting home page content at top of what robots see
-
When I click on the text-only cache of
nlpca(dot)com
on the home page
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:UIJER7OJFzYJ:www.nlpca.com/&hl=en&gl=us&strip=1
our H1 and body content are at the very bottom.
How do we get the h1 and content at the top of what the robots see?
Thanks!

For design purposes I never used it. Maybe a few times. Only for SEO I've really used it.
The code that you don't care about Google seeing first is what you put down on the bottom and absolute position it to the top so the website still looks the same.

Brent, I used to be a web designer. I was always told that absolute positioning was usually bad.
Also, is the code at the top that's seen first or is it the data that's absolutely positioned at the top?
-
Absolute Positioning will allow you to create a div at the bottom of the page, but display it at the top using css.
for example to have div2 display about div1, it would look like this in the code.
Google sees first.
People see firstcss code:
#div1 {width:900px;height:500px}
#div2 {position:absolute;top:-15px;width:900px;height:100px}I know it's not a very good example of code, but you should get the idea enough to start testing your layout. Also, go ahead and use this for testing. http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_position_absolute

That's OK Brent. I hope you enjoyed Mexico.
Yes, please explain more.
-
Sorry for the delay, I was in Mexico on vacation.
Did you get your answer or would you like me to explain more?
-
Could you say more Brent, I thought absolute positioning was something to stay away from from a CSS perspective. I'm open to your idea, I just need to know more.
-
Use absolute positioning to arrange the content in the order you want Search Engines to see first.

Hi there,
It will be due to the way theHTML is written. You will have to alter the HTML to reach your desired outcome. I think the HTML is rendered in the order that it appears on the page e.g. from top to bottom.
You have lots of menu options and these are listed first in the html page.
I also recommend a general review of things as your title is not appearing in the cached page either. Perhaps its because you are specifying it here as well:
name="title" content="NLP Training, Courses, Certification | NLP Institute of California" />
Hope this helps.
All the best!

Redirecting Entire Microsite Content to Main Site Internal Pages?
I am currently working on improving site authority for a client site. The main site has significant authority, but I have learned that the company owns several other resource-focused microsites which are stagnant, but which have accrued significant page authority of their own (thought still less than the main site). Realizing the fault in housing good content on a microsite rather than the main site, my thought is that I can redirect the content of the microsites to internal pages on the main site as a "Resources" section. I am wondering a: if this is a good idea and b: the best way to transfer site authority from these microsites. I am also wondering how to organize the content and if, for example, an entire microsite domain (e.g. microsite.com) should in fact be redirected to internal resource pages (e.g. mainsite.com/resources). Any input would be greatly appreciated!

How to get Google to index another page
Hi, I will try to make my question clear, although it is a bit complex. For my site the most important keyword is "Insurance" or at least the danish variation of this. My problem is that Google are'nt indexing my frontpage on this, but are indexing a subpage - www.mydomain.dk/insurance instead of www.mydomain.dk. My link bulding will be to subpages and to my main domain, but i wont be able to get that many links to www.mydomain.dk/insurance. So im interested in making my frontpage the page that is my main page for the keyword insurance, but without just blowing the traffic im getting from the subpage at the moment. Is there any solutions to do this? Thanks in advance.

Sharing the same content on every page
As an ecommerce site, one of the tabs on the product description is filled with delivery information. This tab is populated the same way on every product page. I think this is contributing to an increased score on my pages similarity to each other. Is there a way to obscure this info for se's and is it worthwhile doing so?

I'm getting a Duplicate Content error in my Pro Dashboard for 2 versions of my Homepage. What is the best way to handle this issue?
Hi SEOMoz,I am trying to fix the final issues in my site crawl. One that confuses me is this canonical homepage URL fix. It says I have duplicate content on the following pages:http://www.accupos.com/http://www.accupos.com/index.phpWhat would be the best way to fix this problem? (...the first URL has a higher page authority by 10 points and 100+ more inbound links).Respectfully Yours,Derek M.

Backlinks to home page vs internal page
Hello, What is the point of getting a large amount of backlinks to internal pages of an ecommerce site? Although it would be great to make your articles (for example) strong, isn't it more important to build up the strength of the home page. All of My SEO has had a long term goal of strengthening the home page, with just enough backlinks to internal pages to have balance, which is happening naturally. The home page of our main site is what comes up on tons of our keyword searches since it is so strong. Please let me know why so much effort is put into getting backlinks to internal pages. Thank you,
