Recommendations for a good FAQ system
-
Hi I am looking for an FAQ system that is seo friendly, naturally , so wondered what other people use or would recommend for a website that's isn't using a cms like wordpress etc.
Basically looking to add the question as the title and the answer as the page content to get the pages indexed.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ryan (x2)
Looked at that faqme system and thanks for the tip but would have to agree that faqme looks very seo unfriendly.
We've found a couple which we're looking at and I will update with the 'chosen one' soon.
Thanks again guys for your help.

faqme.com works by directing your site's traffic to their site. I would classify their service as being SEO unfriendly. You are taking your users away from your site.

Trevor, I just found this site the other day and I thought of this question. Perhaps this service can help you?

Hi Ennovation Thanks for link - site looks nice. I will chat with my client and see if that could be a better option for them. Thanks again. Trevor

I'm sorry to say I don't know anything about that script. My point was that from the code point of view, a question is like any other content and so a CMS should be able to handle what you're after.
Unfortunately I don't know of any out of the box FAQ scripts. Best of luck, and if you find the killer solution be sure to let us know

I used it for the q&a section - see here and worked great.. Just to know I'm a designer not a programmer... Just know the basics of PHP ...

Hi Ennovation Thanks I'll take a look at zend.
-
Some simple php would help you. I've been using zend framework. Great for building simple things... and more complex as well

Hi Ryan
Thanks for your reply.
Just been looking at knowledgebase-script which seems to offer all that is required as the client is looking for a 'ready to go' kind of solution rather than add on cms like wp - which would be cheaper but require more work to set up.
Any experience with this or similar packages?
Thanks again for taking the time to reply, it's appreciated.

It sounds like you want a way to add content to your site where you use a web based form to input the title (question) and body (answer) and then have them linked together in a sort of index. Possibly with extra things like "related questions".
If all that is true, then what you're asking for is a CMS.
The quick and dirty non-cms way is to create a template for your FAQ questions and use it whenever you want to add a new question to your list. If that's too hands-on with html, a modified WP installation in a folder named /faq may be what you need.

H2 tags always recommended? Or ok without?
Is it ok to have no h2 tags? There are no "keywords" relevant to the product in these example h2 tags. Also, is it ok to not have a PRODUCT DESCRIPTION header, or is it better with that header? It's for a "product page". Examples: <h1>Used Bow Front Desk With Mahogany Laminate</h1> <h2 style="display:inline;">QTY:</h2> 3 - <h2 style="display:inline;">Manufacturer:</h2> Hon <h2>Product Description:</h2> <p>This bow front desk is in excellent condition. It has a beautiful mahogany laminate.</p> OR (no h2 tags or product description header at all) <h1>Used Bow Front Desk With Mahogany Laminate</h1> <p>QTY: 3 - Manufacturer: Hon</p> <p>This bow front desk is in excellent condition. It has a beautiful mahogany laminate.</p> I prefer the last one as it's much simpler, but I'm curious if search engines would prefer the existence of h2 tags in the first version. Thanks,

Is Disqus as good for SEO as a built in comment system on your website?
Disqus is a simple tool you can use to easily get comments up and running on your website. Does it have the same value as a built in comment feature such as a Wordpress blog or does Google not attribute the Disqus comments to the websites content as it would for Wordpress?

Keep our category navigation in tree structure but move our URLs to a more flat structure. Good plan?
In our Magento store, products are arranged into categories, subcategories and so on. We typically have 3 or 4 layers of category depth. This makes it nice and easy for customers to find stuff, but it means that the end categories have massive long urls. I'd like to keep our category tree structure in place from a navigation point of view, but I feel the url structure is pushing some important stuff to the back of the shop as it were. We have something like 200 categories in total. So, assuming every individual category has an a unique name, I'd like to rewrite the urls so that: ourshop.com/car-parts/

stays as
ourshop.com/car-parts/ ourshop.com/car-parts/suspension/
becomes
ourshop.com/suspension/ ourshop.com/car-parts/suspension/springs
becomes
ourshop.com/springs/ ourshop.com/car-parts/suspension/springs/thismake-lowering-springs
becomes
ourshop.com/thismake-lowering-springs/ and so on....
I'll need some custom magento URL rewrite work done, but that's another story. The real question is whether you guys feel this is worthwhile? Are there any other stores with a deep categorised navigation structure, but a flat url structure? thanks, James0 -

Is it good to have dashes in url's
When using keywords in url's for internal pages, isn't it a good idea to use dashes or underscores in the url between the keywords?
