Does having a new website design and code affects the SEO
-
Dear experts,
We are in the process of completely revamping our website code and design to a new version of prestashop.
Having mentioned that, please note that we are not changing the URL links. So, the same products links will be the same and intact. Only the content is changing.
So, how this is affecting my website SEO or SERP?
Regards,

If your content is changing it will definitely affect your SEO positioning. Though there's no way of telling if it will have a positive or negative impact.
One thing I would suggest is make sure that you are using the proper keywords in your content(no keyword stuffing) and that you use the proper keywords in page titles, meta, etc.
Beyond that it's all up to the content you put in place.

Nice response eyepaq.
By the way, what's UX?
Well, one part I'm worried about is the number of links per page. Currently I have warning in almost all the website because I'm exceeding the number of links per page. And in the new website, these links will double because I'm adding extra big navigation plus many related links on the sides.
So, how would this affect as well???
-
It can help hurt or stay the same if you have the same CMS better chance of nothing changing
-
Yes it will. It's hard to say if it will be a negative and a positive change though.
There are a lot of elements that come into play as far as rankings and a lot of those elements are on-page elements (real estate / position within the page of content blocks, links, images).
The bottom line however is that since the urls will stay the same it's only half of the issue in this case
As long as it will bring improvements on the UX side you are safe even if for a short time google will "dance" with your rankings...
If you do see negative impacts at least you can pin point how important your on page elements are and if you really assess the situation and the difference you can improve and go even better then before.
Trial and error is the best approach on SEO - and on your case this is the best time to do a new session
Hope it helps.

How much website would be worth for SEO?
I have a website that I'm considering selling. It gives no profit, but I think it has decent SEO value. Link explorer report: domain authority = 69, linking domains: 9.8k, inbound links: 44.2m, ranking keywords: 294. Is that any good? Website is about web design, so keywords are also related to it. Would it be useful for SEO links building for other people? I did sell similar website once, but it was about 7-8 years ago and I've sold it for very high 5 digit amount. However things have changed since then in SEO world, so I don't know if today similar website would be worth much. There is so much information out there that contradicts each other, so I think I'd rather ask professionals here.

100+ PPC Landing Pages Linking To Main URL... Hurting My SEO?
I started another thread around this question but don't think I was articulate enough. So, I have over 100 various landing pages that I use for targeted PPC. I don't really have any interest in these pages amassing their own SEO value; I simply use them for my PPC accounts. However, they all link back to my home page. Is this considered a link farm? And, if so, is the best option to simply add a nofollow attribute to all the links pointing to my home page? Would there be any reason to keep the links as follow? I don't think they're giving my site any SEO value but I'm concerned that they could be harming it instead. Any expert advice would be much appreciated.

PPC CPC Increase after Website Speed Issues Were Addressed
We recently moved our hosting provider over from WPEngine to Site Ground. We increased our page speed scores from D/F to a B this past week. However, we noticed an increase in our PPC cost per click due to the website speed being slower... we cannot figure out why this would happen. Has anyone else experienced something similar? A PPC landing page we have is---> https://www.medicarefaq.com/medigap/plan-a/

Why does my google analytics show a massive discrepancy from facebook's reported website clicks?
We're running a Facebook news feed ad that is pointing at our homepage. Facebook says that for yesterday there were 47 website clicks. Google analytics shows 15 total visitors from facebook with 3 of them landing on the homepage. I understand that there is likely going to be some discrepancy with users accidentally clicking and clicking back before the page loads, but this seems a little insane. I tested the ad using a page that pulls the Analytics cookie data using php and it is working properly so I don't understand what's happening. The url isn't tagged with utm parameters, which is going to be fixed. Anyone experience this or have any insight as to what could be this issue? Is this click fraud? Edit: For more clarification I was checking on my completely unfiltered google analytics profile/view.
