How do I optimise my products for best results?
-
Hi
We have a number of products we want to optimise for example.
Barbeque Boss Double Oven Glove, Black
When performing keyword research, there are a number of generic terms such as, black oven gloves, barbeque boss and so on. Now i can write the page and optimise for these keyword phrases but I am not sure this is the right way about going for it, particularly if i have several products in the range that are "black oven gloves" or " double oven gloves"
How so i best structure my meta tags, meta description and descriptions? Should i just use the product title and optimise around this in the hope Google displays our page in any search queries containing words in this product title?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Greg,
That makes perfect sense and thank you. I have also been looking around at how and what our competitors are doing in terms of how the list the product, keywords they use etc so we can make sure we cover those as best as possible.
Everyone does things slightly different so time to have a play and see what works best i think
Thanks Again.

Hi Craig
Keep it structured in a silo by displaying your parents>children>Grand children and cousins and try not to include exact matches of children or parent keywords on the product pages meta tags.
An example would be.
website.com/shoes/ (this is the parent and lists all the children)
website.com/shoes/blue-shoes/ (this lists all the grand children)
website.com/shoes/blue-shoes/red-laces/ (this is the end of the hiarachy, but you can list related products (tap dance shoes etc)
Back to your question...
You want to keep it structured as best you can to keep Google happy, so try your best not to "canabilise" your pages (more than 1 page targeting the same keywords)
In your scenario, the http://www.towelsrus.co.uk/kitchen-oven-gloves/aztex/barbeque-boss-double-oven-glove-black_ct389bd182pd1968.htm is the end of the line (the grand child) so you dont want this page ranking for generic terms like "black oven gloves" (the page before this should rank for that) etc..
Search for keywords specific to the product, and if you cant find any, then just use the product name and or guess what people would search when looking for that specific product rather than using a generic term as this will cause more hassles than good.
Make a note of the keywords you find that fit Parent and children pages and optimize those pages for the more generic terms.
Make Sense?
Greg

Whats the best practice for internal links?
Hi our site is set up typically for a key product (money page) with 6 to 12 cluster pages, with a few more associated blog pages. If for example the key product was "funeral plans" what percentage of the internal anchor text links should be an exact match? Will the prominence of those links eg higher up the page have an impact on the amount of juice flowing? And do links in buttons count in the same way as on page anchor text eg "compare funeral plans"? Many thanks

Onpage optimising for multiple sites
I’ve been given the task of optimizing a company’s websites (15 in total) that has multiple websites selling the same product. In terms of optimizing them, can I use the same set of meta descriptions, page title tags and key words for them all or do I need to produce a different set for each? The sites are for independently branded companies that are set up in a franchise-like arrangement. They all exclusively sell the parent companies joinery products

Sitemaps during a migration - which is the best way of dealing with them?
Many SEOs I know simply upload the new sitemap once the new site is launched - some keep the old site's URLs on the new sitemap (for a while) to facilitate the migration - others upload both the old and the new website together, to support the migration. Which is the best way to proceed? Thanks, Luke

Best option for Affiliate links on your website?
Hello! I have a website which is completely affiliate based. What is the best option for the links on-page? Examples would be: affiliate.website.com/12901730?2=3532523=user12342901730?2=3532523=user?Whittie www.website.com/affiliate=user?Whittie=load-of-tracking=date=blah=blaH?blah And So on... Which look ugly as sin when you hover over the Anchor Text. Ideally I would like a 301 redirect to mysite.com/goto/affiliatename, which would then have a rel nofollow. This way I could also track the exit pages via Analytics too guess, which I've not currently got set up and i'm desperate for it to be done. Does this method effect anything on search engines though? I've seen mixed report, but going back to 2011 which is too long ago in the SEO world. Another option is to use the likes of "Bit.ly" or use another domain and host 301s on there? The new bit.ly integration from moz might come in handy here. Please advise on the subject, I really appreciate any help on this, as i'm at a brick wall. Thanks

Page indexed but not showing up at all in search results
I am currently working on the SEO for a roofing company. I have developed GEO targeted pages for both commercial and residential roofing (as well as attic insulation and gutters) and have hundreds of 1st page placements for the GEO targeted keywords. What is baffling me is that they are performing EXTREMELY poorly on the bigger cities, to the point of not evening showing up in the first 5 pages. I also target a page specifically for roof repair in Phoenix and it is not coming up AT ALL. This is not typically the results I get when directly targeting keywords. I'm working on implementing keyword variations as well as adding about 10 or so information pages (@ 700 words) regarding different roofing systems which I plan to cross link on the site, etc. I'm just wondering if there is a simple answer as to why the pages I want to be showing up the most are performing so poorly and what I would need to do to improve their rankings.

Google Product Feed Newbie Question
Hi, I don't know much of anything about Google Pruduct Feeds. Here is my starting point on thia: 1. Is this really free? We'd be doing it without Google checkout, just landing on our own pages with our own checkout. 2. Where do you upload the file? 3. What determines if you come up or not as a result? Any strategy or tactics involved? 4. We're the manufacturer of a product and late to the product feed game. The description that Google has used for our products is not ours or great. How do we change that product description that Google has for our products? Thanks!
