Best techniques for trying to rank a single page website?
-
I am new to SEO and am currently trying to market a single page website. Its proving to be hard. I have managed to get the site to page one for a few keywords and it is improving (upto page 2 for some desired keywords) but it seems to have stuck there for a few weeks now - with no movement.
I am able to develop it if required. However I thought that I would just ask if there was anything that could give it a nudge without this? I have done on-site optimisation. As far as I'm aware that's about as good as it can be.
So any advice?
-
yeah I have decided to go multi-page with it. but this is a good idea - I think I will throw a blog in there as well, to keep the content fresh.
Thanks for the response.

These guys give great recommendations but if you need or want to stay with a one page website may i suggest starting a blog on site? So the site will grow pages using relative content. Hope this helps.

Generally it is social that I am doing - Facebook, Twitter and G+.
I think I am going to make the site multi-page. Seems the best way, just need to convince my client to spend the money. Just feel like I'm selling a dead horse at the minute.
Thanks for the response.

Step 1
make more content
single page website < multi-page site
A multi-page site is always better than a single page website. Single page sites are weaker and look spammy in the eyes of Google. stick some content on there try about us page or a FAQ etc. look at your competition see what pages they have you might be missing.

What are you doing to market the site? Good content is a great foundation, but it sounds like nobody knows you exist. That's where marketing comes in. Have you reached out to people who might be interested in your content? Maybe get some Adwords just to start the ball rolling and get relevant traffic. Do you have social media you could use to reach your target audience with?

Multiple Similar Product Variations - Page layout, Title and SEO best practice??
Im doing some research into SEO for our new web design. I sell designer eyewear prescription and sunglasses. Lets take a Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglass it comes in 30 colours and 3 sizes for each model. Up till now i was of the impression that for best practice SEO i would need to have each individual variation as its own page, this would also help with things like google shopping too. So for example heres 1 colour product in 3 sizes of 30 colour variations for this particular model. Ray Ban Wayfarer RB2140

Colour: Black 901
Sizes: 47, 50, 54 Currently my urls looks like this with a new page and the size changing on the end for each variation. Ray Ban Wayfarer RB2140 - Black 901 - 47 URL: www.mywebsite.com/ray-ban-wayfarer-rb2140.html?colour=Black+901&size=47 Ray Ban Wayfarer RB2140 - Black 901 - 50 URL: www.mywebsite.com/ray-ban-wayfarer-rb2140.html?colour=Black+901&size=50 Ray Ban Wayfarer RB2140 - Black 901 - 54 URL: www.mywebsite.com/ray-ban-wayfarer-rb2140.html?colour=Black+901&size=54 This is very time consuming and I'm not sure if its adding any benefit to my SEO in fact scared its actually a) slowing my site down (content heavy)
b) looking like duplicate content I am thinking about moving towards a page more like this were it would be just be a model with variations. (not effecting the title/getting a new page per variation) http://demoleotheme.com/vigoss/index.php/atomic-endurance-running-tee-crew-neck.html I am not sure of the pros and cons of doing it this way over the way I'm doing it currently all i know is my site is ranking horribly. Lastly I'm currently running a magento V1.9 store which is renowned for duplicate content slow site speeds etc so have been told moving to woo commerce would benefit me for both site performance and seo but I'm skeptical as currently with this structure of a each SKU being a new page il be up to 8000+ products and multiple product variations that it can handle my needs, anyone with any experience on woo commerce platform? (this might be a operate question apologise) This is absolutely frying my brain so any advice appreciated. Im prepared to put every dying second into just need some solid advice in which direction to go!0 -
