Titling Category Pages Like You Would a Blog Page?
-
So, with our 600 or so category pages, I was curious... on each of these category pages we show the top 12 products for that category.
In trying to increase click through rate, I wonder if it would be prudent to use some of the strategies I see used for Blog posts with thee category pages.
i.e. Instead of Category Name - Website Name
How about:
Top 12 Kitty Litters We Carry - View the Best and the Rest!
Or something like that.
And then in the description, I could put, "Number 8 made my jaw drop!!!" (Ok, kidding about that one...)
But serious about the initial question...
Thanks!

Top 12 Kitty Litters We Carry - View the Best and the Rest!
I think that is an awesome idea. Definitely worth trying. There are many similar ways to pitch it.
(If these were my category pages, I would probably have more than 12 items. For me, pages with more content generally rank better and pull in more long tail traffic.) You can still say top 12.

What should I do about not found pages?
I took over a site that had been hacked. A bunch of pages were created that said domain.com/cms/viagra. The pages are gone but they still show in webmaster tools as not being found, which is what I want. However, should I do anything besides leaving them as 404?

Do sub-categories and categories behave similarly in WordPress?
Hi, I'm aware of the SEO benefit in category pages and would like to implement them on my (client's) site. Unfortunately, the developer set up the blog where there is one parent category called 'blog' and the rest of the categories are sub-categories, underneath the parent. While it seems like an easy fix, he claims that it's not because of some programmer jargon I can't understand. So my question is, can subcategories offer same or similar value as categories, or do I go head to head with this charming guy?

Page MozRank and MozTrust 0 for Home Page, Makes No Sense?
Hey Mozzers! I'm a bit confused by a site that is showing a 0 for home page MozRank and MozTrust, while its subdomain and root domain metrics look decent (relatively). I am posting images of the page metrics and subdomain metrics to show the disparity: http://i.imgur.com/3i0jq.png http://i.imgur.com/ydfme.png Is it normal to see this type of disparity? The home page has very little inbound links, but the big goose egg has me wondering if there is something else going on. Has anyone else experienced this? Or, does anyone have speculation as to why a home page would have a 0 MozRank while the subdomain metrics look much better? Thanks!
