Updating old dated pages or making new ones?
-
Hey All,
I'm working on a project that relies on deals with specific dates like a fair or rodeo. However, fairs happen every year during the same time. I'm not sure if I should delete the old ones or updated them with new information. What do you suggest?

This does help. Thank you for taking the time to answer!

This is great thank you for the insight!

If you have great links pointing to the old dated pages, just update them with new information. Generally its better not to have outdated info on your site, but sometimes pages are left, even if dated, as they have great links pointing to them. This gives you best of both, as long as the link does not say site.com/fair-2012 and you are adding new info to it. Might want to keep it general and not date specific.
Hope this helps

Place these pages on a permanent URL. Then update the content of that page as needed.
If you change the URL then all of the people who linked to your event page will then see their links hit old information or hit an error page if you delete the page. And, you don't want to do a new redirect every year.
We link to some academic sites that change their URLs frequently. We are always cussing about them.

Page Authority or Domain Auothority? Which one is more importan when having an external link pointing to your page?
Im about to make a deal with another site. We are going to exchange some links from some blog posts. In order to make a fair deal, I assessed some metrics for our posts. Basically, this site have better Domain Authority than my site (30 vs 25), but the page authority of their blog post in which they want to insert their links pointing to my site is 1 for each of them. On the other hand, the page authority of my blog posts they are interested in is 13. My dilema is about being resonable to set a good deal for both of us. So, my question is, which one matters the most when it comes to external links? page authority or domain authority? My intuition is that I’m in a better position than my counterpart. Thanks.

Followed links from one of our biggest channel?
Hi everyone, I have a new client that's a huge company and has a disastrous ranking. It's a Human Resources company that among other things, they post job offers on their site in which people have to register to apply. As a channel to outreach more people, they are using a popular site for job offers on the country. There, the job position is described and they tell users to apply within this channel or on their own site. But there's no actual link to their site. Will Google find it spammy to post their site's link for that specific job offer on this channel on every job description? No competitor is doing it so it made me doubt a little bit. NOTE: The job offer channel doesn't allow us to "nofollow" a link. All the links are followed. Thanks to any suggestion.

Advice needed on making some pages more relevant...
Hello - and sorry to bother you all. I am learning on my feet with SEO, but gradually getting there. I have started a directory for musical instruments and need to make the profile pages for dealers as relevant as possible (their instruments are doing well, but profile views less so). The following link is an example. http://www.amati.com/music-shops/dealers/dealer/turner-violins.html all of them can be found here: http://www.amati.com/music-shops/dealers/page-1.html We are putting in a search box to help with functionality, but if any one can give me an idea how to make these profiles super then I would be enormously grateful! Best wishes, James

Google is no longer ranking home page but sub page lower, why?
We were ranking on page 2 and number 4 for the key word motorcycle tires. Google was ranking our home page jakewilson.com; however, we have been adding new content to our site and doing some internal linking. We pointed some links about motorcycle tires to http://www.jakewilson.com/cl/52/Motorcycle-Tires and now that page ranks but on page 3 not 2. Any thoughts?

Partnerships web pages and optimization- dangers and solutions?
My boss is in the process of building lot of new partnerships. The goal is to increase the number of mutual referrals. These are businesses that are not in the same industry, but have the same clients, so there is no competition. He wants a separate Partners category, landing page and a subpage for each partner. On each partner page, he wants a link pointing back to the partner company, along with some information about that particular business. In exchange, our partners would do the same- have a page dedicated to us with information and a link to our website.

By the way, this is not an affiliate program, just referral exchange program. I am worried about appearing like a link farm. Should I be?
From what I see, most partners of other companies are all listed on one page. My boss says others do this without any problems, but he is not an SEO person. What are the dangers of doing it the way my boss wants?
What is the safest way to list business partners on our website while trying to accomplish what I have been asked (or as closely as possible)?No follow links, maybe? What about the metas and titles? NoIndex/NoFollow pages? (my boss wants these pages to be indexed). Your input is greatly appreciated.0 -
