Taller images are more repinnable - http://danzarrella.com/infographic-how-to-get-more-pins-and-repins-on-pinterest.html

Hi Andy,

This is what I did one site that seemed to work very well - 350% increase (over previous year) in traffic 7 months after adding image galleries and blog for a tile company.

Lots of descriptive content with keywords on each image on page.

Images in blog posts 2-3 per week.  Share posts and images out to interior design bloggers and print media with online presence.

Generate lots of posts (several per week) by external bloggers and media that link back to the tile company site images and image collection galleries, home page, and blog posts.

I repost their posts on the tile company's blog that "so and so design blogger" did this great post with excerpt and link to them. These are all follow links in WordPress. Link out generously.

Tweet out from blog the post with URL 3-5/day 5 days a week amid general conversation on twitter. Credit the great blogger who shared your content. Share post with URL on Facebook.

Pin like crazy.

GIve out, give credit to others, and watch it come back.

Have fun!

Hi Syed,

Thank you so much for answering my question!

Just to clarify, do you mean that

• If I link to the PDF on product 1
• Then I no follow the links to the other 51 of the 52 products

so that there is only 1 followed link to the PDF?

I am not using the PDF content on the pages - I am using product descriptions.

The PDF link is to provide answers to customer frequently asked questions. Mainly to prevent repeated phone calls to answer material covered in the PDF -  too lengthy and technical for a product description for typical home decorators.

Or should I put the PDF content on an actual web page, and link to it from the products?

Then link to a download?

The products are more important than the technical info, I'd rather not have a lot to distract from someone adding to the cart. Just provide helpful info for someone who wants more.

I'm an SEO beginner,  and on a new ecommerce (shopify) store I have a collection of paint.

Each of the 52 products will link to the technical data sheet PDF.  Should these links be no follow? or noreferrer?

If all the links to this PDF signal that it is important - it is not more important than the home or product collection pages.

Thanks!

Hi Alan,

Thanks - I'm definitely not redirecting to the home page - to the most relevant current content. It just takes time!

I'm moving my store to a new site and will have a much friendlier but completely different URL structure.

I used Open Site Explorer to find inbound links to 513 pages and have done about half so far.

The remaining pages have one link each at a page authority of 27 or less - but there are still 250+ of them. I have to manually view each old page, search for the product on the new site, and enter the redirect as there is no way to translate old URL's to new ones.

How important is it for rankings to redirect the remaining 250 or so  pages?
