Homepage display for seo
-
hi,
Which is the best , seo speaking, about the homepage display with a CMS (joomla here).
1/ To display articles as "blog" and thus articles are always recent but not the same (chronological)..
2/ To display always a same article (just 1) but updated sometimes to times ?
3/ Both of them are good ?
Tks a lot in advance..
-
i agree
-
Merci beaucoup ! that's clear enough for me !

I usually put on the home page a lot of links when I don't want to rank the homepage for specific keyword (or when it's too hard to rank). My homepage has to give it's juice the best way, so :
-
First the top pages of my site (selected manually, or the most popular ones), so you may put the articles you want to rank the most
-
Then the pages recently created to index them faster in Google and give content freshness to the domain
-
Finally the pages with recent activity (update, comments, etc.), this usually allow old pages to get some fresh internal link
-
-
Ok tks a lot
-
Tks a lot..
-
I mean because of link sculpting, all popular patterns lead to the home page haveing the highest pr

You can go with any one from these approach. Main thing how much interesting content is. Content should be useful for the users.
Regarding SEO Purpose, updations is major ethics and both approach is going to update content on regular basis, so you can go with any approach.
-
You mean that when you link something internal , the path is always www.mydomain.com/article so the root is always mentioned and then bring mor juicy link, weight and so on ?
-
It usely ius because of internal linking, and being the root
-
Ok, tks, homepage is important, but the other pages also !
A homepage is not always "the page" with the highest PR, isn't ?
A page on the same domain can bring higher Pr according its content, internal/external links, backlinks...
-
ok, so it depends the seo "weight" of the page in fact ...
-
No, not really. Technically if the number of outgoing links changed drastically you could alter the flow of page rank on the website, but I wouldn't fuss about it.
-
no i wouldent have the blog on the home page as suggested you lose control of the on page. Use the blog to increase content elsewhere
-
Many thanks for your reply..
Up to know (for more than 2 years) i 've got a still homepage, i 'd like to change now rather for a blog "presentation", does this change could influence something for the PR of the page or domain ?
-
Personally I've seen both approaches work well, and I don't think Google favours either type of website.
A more dynamic homepage is harder though to optimize for specific keywords - as your posts change you may end up not having your top target keywords on the home page in some instances. You can solve this by having a portion of the text on the home page static.

Using 302 redirect for SEO
Hello, I'm in charge of SEO for an information website on which articles are only accessible if you have a login and password. Most of the natural links we get point to our subscribers' subomain : subscribers.mywebsite.com/article1 If they follow these natural links, visitors who are not logged get redirected (302) to www.mywebsite.com/article1 on which there is an extract of the article and they can request a free test subscription to read the end of the article. My goal is to optimize SEO for the www.mywebsite.com/article1 page. Does this page benefit from the links I get to the subscribers.mywebsite.com/article1 page or are theses links lost in terms of SEO? Thanks for your help, Sylvain

Do rss feeds help seo?
If we put relevant RSS feeds on a site, will it help the SEO value? Years ago, I shied away from RSS feeds because they slowed the site down and I didn't like relying on them. However, the past couple years, the Internet has become better, especially in Alaska.

Users from this landing page can select a country on his/her choice and get redirected say: [www.mysite.com/us/en.html] Would like to change the functionality as below: 1. When user types in www.mysite.com 1a. Would find the location of the request based on GEO IP and if the request is coming from North America region then would redirect the users to: www.mysite.com/us/en.html 1b.

Does Bitly hurt your SEO?
I often use bit.ly or Google URL shortener in links when other websites post my articles so I can track clicks. However, I am thinking this may HURT my SEO given that it is taking away a back link to my website. Is that logic correct ? If so, what is a good way to be able to track clicks if a website posts your article without jeopardizing the SEO value?

Where to get expert SEO help?
I joined SEOmoz knowing very little about SEO (it turns out even less than I thought!) I signed up because my business website that had be ranking very well for years made a fast and furious fall to the purgatory of page 2, 3, whatever. We'll I've definitely learned a lot and made a several changes that have helped. Specifically link building (directory submissions) and eliminating duplicate content. But we're still far below where we used to be and I've done everything I can do without making a career change to SEO. I've hired a few offshore SEOs to help but they have all failed to live up to their promises. So, I would love to find a GOOD SEO that can 1. Fix the remaining on-page technical issues in our CMS website (Business Catalyst), and 2. help us develop an SEO strategy for the next year. (I prefer not to post the name of the website for competitive reasons) Our keywords are really not very competitive at all due to the uniqueness of the business. Where should I look for help? Thanks

301 Redirect for homepage with language code
In my multilingual Magento store, I want to redirect the hompage URL with an added language code to the base URL. For example, I want to redirect http://www.mysite.com/tw/ to http://www.mysite.com/ which has the exact same content. Using a canonical URL will help with search engines, but I would just rather nip the problem in the butt by not showing http://www.mysite.com/tw/ to visitors in the first place. Problem is that I don't want (can't have) all /tw/ removed from URLs due to Magento limitations, so I just want to know how to redirect this single URL. Since rewrites are on, adding Redirect 301 /tw http://www.88kbbq.com would redirect all URLs with the /tw/ language code to ones without. Not an option. Hope folks can lend a hand here.
