Are landing pages making a comeback
-
Just recently I have noticed a ever increasing number of landing pages on websites, the ones I have come across have been in the sports industry like rugby/football and their landing pages are sparse but offering the social avenues on a plate.
are Landing pages making their way back in the seo industry?

Hello, sure i kind of understand whats happening etc, but to be fair i found Enter website fairly small over on the left of the screen, may be I am looking too deep into it. http://www.hullfc.com/smallsplash.aspx?a=1763

I think you mean splash pages, not landing pages. Splash pages are almost never a good idea from an SEO perspective, and are generally not a good user experience either.
-
Do you have any examples of landing pages? (Because I'm curious too.)
What are they trying to achieve by having splash pages?
I could see apparel/design companies doing that for show, but not for commerce/blog sites.
-
its exactly what I thought to be fair but over the last few days of visiting a few should I say well established websites having these types of pages. I had thought I had missed something

I gotta agree with Mike here. That said, I doubt this trend could stick around if it did return from an SEO standpoint especially.
I'm going to impose my own set of penalties on websites I hate. This type of site will be on my list of major offenders. The penalty is - I hate your site. Deal with it, internet.

Having read your clarification below, my answer is "God I hope not." The days of "click here to enter" need to be relegated to the same graveyard as frames and entirely Flashed out websites. Do I need to go on Change.org to make sure this does not happen? I will if I have to!

may be not left but, i am meaning click here to enter site pages,
-
I don't think they ever left.

Ajax Pagination on Ecommerce category pages - Good or Bad?
We have an ecommerce site. We installed an AJAX feature that when you scroll down to say, the end of 6 rows of products, it loads another page below the seam. Question is, is this good or bad for SEO? Any tests you can suggest? Thanks Ben

Duplicate content for product pages
Say you have two separate pages, each featuring a different product. They have so many common features, that their content is virtually duplicated when you get to the bullets to break it all down. To avoid a penalty, is it advised to paraphrase? It seems to me it would benefit the user to see it all laid out the same, apples to apples. Thanks. I've considered combining the products on one page, but will be examining the data to see if there's a lost benefit to not having separate pages. Ditto for just not indexing the one that I suspect may not have much traction (requesting data to see).

How best to do Location Specific Pages for Eccomerce Post Panda Update..
Hi , We have an eCommerce site and currently we have a problem with duplicate content. We created Location specific landing pages for our product categories which initially did very well until the recent Google Panda update caused a big drop in ranking and traffic. example http://xxx.co.uk/rent/lawn-mower/London/100 http://.xxx.co.uk/rent/lawn-mower/Manchester/100 Much of the content on these location pages is the same or very similar apart from different H1 tag, title tag and in some cases slight variations on the on page content but given that these items can be hired from 200 locations it would take years to have unique content for every location for each category... We did this originally in April as we can't compete nationally but we found it was easier to compete locally ,hence the creation of the location pages and it did do well for us until now. My question is , since the last Google Panda update, our traffic has dropped 40% , and rankings have gone through the floor and we are stuck with this mess Should we get rid off (301 ) all of the location specific pages for each of the categories ot just keep say 10 locations per cities as the most popular ones and either do No follow no index the other locations or 301's or what would people recommend ? The only examples I can see on the internet that others do with multiple locations is to have a store finder type thing... but you cant' rank for the individual product /category doing it that way... If anyone has any advice or good examples of sites I could see that employ a good location url specific method, please let me know. thanks Sarah

Can Using Google Analytics Make You More Prone to Deindexation?
Hi, I'm aggressively link building for my clients using blog posts and have come upon information that using Google Analytics (as well as GWT, etc.) may increase my chance of deindexation. Anyone have any thoughts on this topic? I'm considering using Piwik as an alternative if this is the case. Thanks for your thoughts, Donna
