Home Page optimising for Office furniture online
-
Hi I have a full page for office-furniture-online. With a fair bit of text on it!
We use visual composer for this on wordpress - but we can't get a rank for it
I wondered whether as it is our key term - whether we should focus on the home page for this - but the issue we have here it the amount of text we can add to the home page without it looking silly - could we have a slide in side tab with information on or is this frowned upon?

hi, so, we would recommend building quality backlinks, to the homepage, then each of the product pages. make sure the backlinks are white hat, must be very high quality. we managed to get a company in Bristol which builds log cabins onto the first page using this method of organic seo

Great points by Roman and Tim!
I'm willing to bet that this keyword is super competitive and you'll really need to dig in in order to rank for it. The things that I would start with:
1. Competitor analysis for the specific keyword (per Roman's recommendation) - evaluate 2-4 top competitors
2. Competitor backlink analysis
3. Optimize the indivdual product pages first - go for longtail keywords in order to try and get some organic ranking
-
Some great points from Roman.
Also of note! How old is your site? Are you providing rich unique content that serves the customers needs? Office supplies if a very competitve market and can take time for your SEO to take effect.
What are you looking to rank for? your brand name or products anc product categories?
I used to work for VOW (Then - Post Office shop, Caboodle, FindMySupplies) and Mamas and Papas here in the UK and invariably the home page was pretty much reserved for brand traffic. I would imagine you ideally would want your category and product pages to be the main ranking pages giving the customer the quickest route to basket.
Cheers

Home Page SEO and city specific targeting?
From What I have read you should target one keyword for each page on your site with the exception of the home page. Is this correct? If the most searched keywords for a Dentist in the area are Dentist "city name"

Cosmetic Dentist "city name"
Family Dentist "city name" Should you try and add content on the home page with h1 tags of each of these? If so then what about the page title/url Also if you are targeting keyword Dentist "city name" but like 4 different cities, should you have a separate page for each of this cities and then if so would that not be duplicate content with the exception of city name?

Deleted pages still registering as 404 pages.
I have a an all html site that I can only work on through the ftp. The previous marketing company ran a script that built thousands of location landing pages, but all they did was change the tags and headers and the keywords in the pages, other than that they are all duplicate pages. I removed them, but Google is reading them as 404 pages. How do I tell Google those pages don't exist? or do I just need to let the bots crawl it a few times and it will see that eventually?

Limiting On Page Links
Right now, we have about 160 or so links on the home page. It's been recommended that we keep it to under 100, though that's not as big of a deal as it once was. Is it helpful to make a bunch of those links "nofollow" in order to preserve link juice? Is it going to make a difference, or be at all helpful? I assume it won't be harmful, especially as a bunch of them are to the same page but on different sections of the page. Would live your advice and thoughts! Thanks!

Duplicate Page Titles
I have over 200 duplicate page titles on a site that I am working on. Does putting a date at the end of some of them make it a unique enough title?

Home Page is Not Ranking Anymore on this ecommerce site
Hi Everyone, I work regularly on this site www.cheapsnapframes.co.uk which is a cubecart based site and upto a few months ago the home page used to rank on poster frames we were on page 1 of google now we are on page 2 but it has dropped the home page and favours a category page. I have been looking at this to try and figure out why and I have today realised I had some external links on the home page pointing to the .com which the site used to run from but has been setup as a 301 redirect so I have changed these to internal links. I have used the on page tool and get an A but its been showing an A for a long time. Is there any other reason why we have lost out on this keyword term? Thank you in advance Tracy

Too many on page links
Our home page (and 1400 of our other pages) have well over 100 links, going beyond the recommend amount. Our competitors have less on page links (to other pages on their site) and way more link popularity so we are trying to figure out the best solution for this without hurting our sites conversions and usbaility.
