SEO for Parallax Website
-
Hi,
Are there any implications of having a parallax website and the URL not changing as you scroll down the page? So basically the whole site is under the same URL? However, when you click on the menu the URL does change?
Cheers

Hi Aron
This prior question has a really great answer as well as this one.
In short, it depends how many keywords / topics you're targeting. It can work fine for a "one-topic" site but if you'd normally be targeting separate keywords for several or more pages, that's where you'll run into SEO trouble.

Can you PM me the URL Aron? I could do with seeing exactly what is going on.

Hi Andy,
When you click on the menu link it does indeed scroll down to that part of the website. However, when you scroll up the page onto a different section the URL stays the same. The title tags and meta descriptions are the same across the site no matter what page you are on.

Hi Aron,
I think I have misunderstood your question. Apologies for that.
It sounds like a bit of tweaking is required for the menu. Is the site built in Wordpress? I have encountered this as well and I had to set the menu links to custom URL's and then add some code to the .htaccess file as well.
Are you able to give an example of the URL after you click a link? If should (I assume) scroll down to that part of the page instead? PM me here if you wish and I will be happy to take a look.

Hi Andy
Wouldn't this cause issues with duplicate content as you have got the same content on several URLs? So basically the URL for the homepage has all the content on it and then when you click on a link on the main nav it is the exact same content on a different URL?
Thanks

Hi Aron,
None at all - you just can't attract as many keywords as you can with a site that has multiple pages. As a stand-alone, I have had some very nice successes with single page sites, but you need to be content and message heavy. Keep everything on topic be creative with your writing. Don't try to over-optimise either.

Acquired domains for SEO
hi there, For one of our insurance websites we acquired a domain, this domain is going to be redirected to our domain. After some research we discovered the domain we've bought also includes other domains which 301 redirect to specific 'insurance products'. These domains are also included in the deal. But what is the best technical solution for redirecting these specific redirected product domains? They already redirect to the product pages of the domain we've bought, so after redirect this domain, the sub (product) redirected domains will also link to us. It would be like this: A) www.sub-carinsurancesite.nl (301) -> www.domain-we-bought.com/car-insurance -> www.ourdomain.com/car-insurance

SEO impact of AJAX category on Magento website?
I am designing a new category for my website. Instead of a grid or list view there is an additional (default) view that implements Owl Carousel. What this means for SEO is that there is going to be a lot of dynamically loaded content and I am not quite sure how to handle that. By default all the user (and Google) will see is product images. Once the product image is clicked more details are shown about the product. Are there any articles that any of you can refer me to on Googles recommendation for handling dynamic content? My initial thought was that with a decent site map and the other available views this wouldn't be a big deal, especially since my categories tend to bog down SEO with links and repetitive terms in the product name (i.e. Flavored This, Flavored That, Flavored Other Term) as well as I'm unsure if I need the "juice" passed through my category product links.. but I'll leave it to the community to confirm that.

Canonicalization on my website
I am kind of new to all this but I would like to understand canonicalization. I have a website which when you arrive on it is www.mysite.com but once inside and flicking back to the homepage it reverts to www.mysite.com/index.html. Should I be doing something re canonicalization? If so what? Will the link juice be diluted by having two home page versions? Thanks

Minor SEO for Yahoo and Bing
Over the past year, we have completely optimized one of the sites we manage for Google (removed bad links, reduced keyword count, etc) and we are doing great for Google organic traffic. However, in the process we have seen a steady decline in Yahoo organic traffic and Bing organic traffic. Enough so that I am looking for suggestions for quick fixes that aren't going to interfere with the Google optimizations that we made. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

Iframes & SEO
I've got a client that wants a site with all content in iFrames. They saw another site they liked & asked if we could do it. Of course we can technically. How big a negative hit would they take with SEO? Is there anything we can do to mitigate it, such as redirects, etc? Thanks for the help!

How do you measure content on a website?
I never thought of this question before. Maybe because i didn't focus myself on content but only on optimizing existing content from clients. So how do you measure the content on a specific page?
