What content is apropriate here
-
Hello,
I've got a dozen good articles in my article section, but nobody is landing on them. Should we write articles about our products? Won't that compete with our product pages?
-
Wow EGOL, very nice answer. I'll implement everything you said.
-
I write articles for my products and don't care if they outrank my product pages. You can place house ads on your article pages that lead to a purchase page... you can also place buy buttons on an article page so that people can buy after your article inspires them.
Often my article page and product page take positions #1 and #2 in the SERPs..
If you have an article that inspires purchases you might sell more than people landing on a product page. And, if you can have strong calls to action on an article page it can generate lots of sales.
Lots of people buy football apparel at stadiums at very high prices. That is because they get a good feeling about football while watching the game. If your article can do that for your product then you might make some nice sales. The higher the value of the goods the stronger this relationship might be.
In lots of SERPs it is easier to compete with an article page than it is with a product page.
-
Just add more content to the product pages then.
If you have your site layout right, a review page shouldn't conflict with a product page... if anything it should promote it and funnel in better qualified leads.
-
That's what we do, still no traffic to articles.
People want the products. Is adding unique content important for rankings here, and will reviews of products compete with our own product pages?
-
where? In general, you should write about things that people are searching for.
Cool general tip though: Go to industry related forums > newbie section > read some of the questions being posted and write up some awesome articles answering those questions.

Unsolved Duplicate Contents in Order Pages of Multiple Products
Hi, I have a website containing 30 software products. Each product has an order page. The problem is that the layout and content of these 30 order pages are very similar, except for the product name, for example: https://www.datanumen.com/access-repair-order/

https://www.datanumen.com/outlook-repair-order/
https://www.datanumen.com/word-repair-order/ Siteliner has reports these pages as duplicate contents. I am thinking of noindex these pages. However, in such a case, if a user search for "DataNumen Outlook Repair order page", then he will not be able to see the order page of our product, which drives the revenue go away. So, how to deal with such a case? Thank you.1 -
Best practices for publishing sponsored content
Hello, Our website hosts sponsored content from different brands. Should we be listing the sponsor either on the frontend and/or through markup? - Would either way have any sort of an impact? The content itself is already clearly marked as 'sponsored content' but we were more interested in listing the specific sponsor. Also, we’re assuming the outbound links would need to be marked rel="sponsored" but are there any other best practices we should be implementing? Any insight would be appreciated.

Creating a .cn site with the existing site content
Hi all, I'm planning to create a .cn site. If I simply translate the existing content on my site (.com.au) into Chinese, do you think Google will see the .cn site as a duplicate of the main site? Will this cause any duplicate content issues? Thanks

What to do with repetitive content
Hi, I recently took over a site from another SEO firm. They created lots of articles targeting the same terms. The articles aren't bad but I fear they could dilute the site's ranking power for a given term. I don't want to give away the specific industry, but let's say they have eight pages targeting the term "______ billing software." I'd rather focus their resources on ranking one page for that term. Does that make sense? And if so, how do I do that? The company has a writer that can see if any of the content is good enough to add to their primary ______ billing software page. Would you 301 redirect all these pages to the one you want to rank, or would you canonicalize them? Or am I way off base in my thinking?
