Numbers above actual site content
-
Most pages on my website contain many numbers above the actual text on the page. This is useful for users and looks good on an actual view of the page. However, when a bot reads the page it appears as rows of numbers with a few sentences at the bottom of the page.
Does having these number have a negative SEO effect? If so, should I change them to something such as an image so they aren't readable by search engines?
-
I would like to see the pages, because i cant see how numbers would help conversion.
Jou could also load numbers after a delay, but proabably the easiest answer would be to make sure you have description tags,a nd place plety of other text for SE's to sample -
In that case my solution based off of what you've described would be to put the numbers after the content in the HTML markup and position them visually using CSS. It sounds like the data is more important for conversion than actual content.

The numbers don't show up in SERPs, but when crawling the page it seems to be mostly numbers (on most pages of the site). Did you see broken internal or external links? Thanks!

The numbers come first because of design and because they are more likely to convert than starting with text (even though in a word document they wouldn't make much sense)

Do the numbers logically come first in the document or do they just go there because they look good design wise?
If you took your page and put it into a word document and it didn't make sense for the numbers to come first, put them after the content and use CSS to position them where you want them.
I've done this on a few sites of mine, but my general rule is always: Make the content make semantic/logical sense in the HTML first, then put things into place for design purposes with CSS, and while you're doing all that, keep SEO in mind.

Do you mean the numbers show in the serps? Do you have description meta tags?
Search engines used to use the description meta tags but these days they pick and chose when to do ao, if you are getting them in the serps then they are making a bad choice. this will hurt your conversion, as people dont liek to ckick ona messy serp.i went to your site,. netbet and found many brocken links, this is proably a bigger concern.

Suggestions on dealing with duplicate content?
What are the best ways to protect / deal with duplicate content? I've added an example scenario, Nike Trainer model 1 – has an overview page that also links to a sub-page about cushioning, one about Gore-Tex and one about breathability. Nike Trainer model 2,3,4,5 – have an overview page that also links to sub-pages page about cushioning , Gore-Tex and breathability. In each of the sub-pages the URL is a child of the parent so a distinct page from each other e.g. /nike-trainer/model-1/gore-tex /nike-trainer/model-2/gore-tex. There is some differences in material composition, some different images and of course the product name is referred multiple times. This makes the page in the region of 80% unique. Any suggestions welcome about the above example or any other ways you guys know of dealing with duplicate content.

Is this hidden content?
Hi all, I was wondering if the homepage of www.dirtylooks.com has hidden content in a search engines eyes. There is some text which appears underneath a tile called "hair tools" that has to be scrolled in order to be viewed by a visitor. As this isn't the typical white on white or off page by CSS hidden content are we in danger of being penalised?

Duplicate Content - Blog Rewriting
I have a client who has requested a rewrite of 250 blog articles for his IT company. The blogs are dispersed on a variety of platforms: his own website's blog, a business innovation website, and an IT website. He wants to have each article optimised with keyword phrases and then posted onto his new website thrice weekly. All of this is in an effort to attract some potential customers to his new site and also to establish his company as a leader in its field. To what extent would I need to rewrite each article so as to avoid duplicating the content? Would there even be an issue if I did not rewrite the articles and merely optimised them with keywords? Would the articles need to be completely taken by all current publishers? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Page without content
Hey Everyone, I've started an SEO On Page analysis for a web site and I've found a lot of duplicate content and useless pages. What do I have to do? Delete this useless page, redirect or do canonical tag? If I have to delete what is the best way to do? Should I use GWT to delete? or just delete from the server? This URL for example: http://www.sexshopone.com.br/?1.2.44.0,0,1,13,0,0,aneis-evolved-boss-cock's.html [admin note: NSFW page} There is no content and it is duplicate in reference of this: http://www.sexshopone.com.br/?1.2.44.0,0,1,12,0,0,aneis-evolved-boss-cock's.html [admin note: NSFW page} and the correct page of the product is: http://www.sexshopone.com.br/?1.2.44.0,423,anel-peniano-evolved-boss-cock's-pleasure-rings-collar-white-reutilizavel-e-a-prova-d'agua-colecao-evolved.html [admin note: NSFW page} What is happening is that we have 8.000 pages like this. Useless and without any content. How do I proceed? Thanks!
