Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi. So sorry I am just now getting back to this post, we went away for a few days. Thank you so much for offering to take a look at the site. Here is an example of what I am referring to:

Here is a product page. At the bottom, you will notice there are tabs.

http://www.frs-solutions.com/content/comlink_st3g

If you click on 'specifications', you will see information that has been imported from this page:

http://www.frs-solutions.com/content/st3g-tab-3-specs

SO, as you can see, there are 2 instances of the specifications information. 1 in the tabs, and 2 on the imported page.

Hope this makes sense. And thank you again for taking a peek!

Hi. New here to SEOmoz and also somewhat new to SEO in general. A friend has asked me to help do some onsite SEO for their company's website. The company uses Drupal Content Management System. They have a couple product pages that contain a tabbed section for features, accessories, etc.

When they built their tabs, they used a Drupal module called Quicktabs, by which each individual tab is created as a separate page and then pulled into the tabs from those pages. So, in essence, you now have instances of repeated content. 1) the page used to create the tab, and 2) the tab that displays on the product page.

My question is, how should I handle the pages that were used to create the tabs? Should I make them NOINDEX?

Thank you for your advice in advance.

Hi. Sorry to be a pain, but I really need help figuring this out. Richard, you said it appears that there is some sort of product sort being done here, but there is nothing on the website that allows users to do this. When I go into edit the site, I don't even see any of these links that are coming up.

I understand that there are 3 different URLS that lead to my homepage. But where are all these URLS such as http://www.frs-solutions.com/index.php/cPath/9_12 coming from? The majority of them seem to be after the index.php homepage URL.

Tom, you said all the pages on my site link to my homepage via the HOME link, right, but how does that explain these mysterious URLS?

I am so confused, and have wracked my brain trying to figure out where these URLs are coming from. Weird thing is when SEOmoz did their crawl, none of thee URLS even came up.

Any one want to take a stab at this? I am really new to SEO, so please explain things in detail. Thank you!

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. So, you are saying that all 57 links are pointing to my homepage via the HOME link. How can the HOME link contain 57 different links?? I am so confused. I understand that my homepage has 3 different URLS. But I don't understand what all those links are and how they can all be the HOME link. Can you please break it down in really simple terms?

Also, the crawl that SEOmoz just completed on this site didn't show any of those URLs......why would that be?

Hi. I installed the SEOmoz toolbar for Firefox, and analyzed my home page, then clicked on 'get a full site analysis at Site Explorer'. This is what came up:

http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.frs-solutions.com%252Fcontent%252Fhome/a!links?src=mb

I hope that link works. If not, the URL is www.frs-solutions.com

Anyway, there are about 57 different URLS within my site all pointing to my homepage! I have no idea where they are coming from. Can someone with an experienced eye take a quick look and tell me what I might be up against?

Thank you!

Thanks Maryanne,

I will definitely mention those image sizes. They are pretty large.

I need to get an H1 onto these pages. H1's are important, right?

In your opinions, what would be the most effective/least harmful method of doing this....for short term until we can figure something better out.....

1. Set the hidden titles to be H1's instead of H2's?

or

2. Manually go into each page and create an H1 using the post WYSIWYG editor? (Using this method, the H1 would come AFTER the H2, but at least it would not be hidden)

What are your thoughts?

Sheesh...I knew I wasn't losing my marbles when I thought this looked more complicated than normal. This CMS is Drupal.....just FYI, here's what is happening...

These pages are made in a module (equivalent to a plug in for Wordpress) called Panels. With panels, you can define content areas within your page, kind of like creating

sections. Eachsection is called a pane. In this case, they pulled in the information they are showing in each pane through another module called Views. So, on the lt3g page, there are 2 different panes above the tabbed section.

When you create a pane, Drupal asks you for a pane title. The tabs at the bottom are also a module that pulls posts into a tabbed section. Since each post has its own title, each tab shows an H2. In total, there are 10 H2s on this page!!

And the Analytics code is Google anlaytics installed into a pane. (I don't think they had to install the code onto every page, but they did), and they titled the pane 'Analytics'

I think this might be a job for a Drupal themer. Maybe that's what I will propose this company look into.

Also, for the

| FRS Custom Solutions, which indicates there should be something before the pipe, the <title>tag would go before the pipe, and installing the page_title module would allow you to define that.</p> <p>Usually I hear good things about Drupal, but I think in this case, with the use of panels to make pages, it just complicated things.</p></title>

No, I have no control over showing it. Drupal forces you to give each page a title.

http://www.frs-solutions.com/content/comlink-lt3g

Here is a link to one of the inner pages. This page has an image.  But here is a page with no image: http://www.frs-solutions.com/content/Company

I am not knowlegable enough with CSS and creating template pages to go about having the title display as an image on some pages, but as text on others.

Ok. That's what I thought. But I wasn't sure. Do you know, is there any legitimate way to hide a post title (that's forced by the CMS) from both SE's and visitors without using the image swap method?

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your response. Sorry if I was unclear...I am referring to the titles of the post. Not the <title>tag.  Drupal forces you to give each post a title. And yes, the post titles are set to display as H2's, but the H2's in the stylesheet are set to display:none like this:</p> <div class="cssHead focusRow "><span class="cssSelector ">h2</span> {</div> <div class=" "> <div class="cssPropertyListBox "> <div class="cssProp focusRow editGroup "><span class=" ">    </span><span class="cssPropName editable ">color</span><span class="cssColon ">: </span><span class="cssPropValue editable ">#595959</span><span class="cssSemi ">;</span></div> <div class="cssProp focusRow editGroup "><span class=" ">    </span><span class="cssPropName editable ">display</span><span class="cssColon ">: </span><span class="cssPropValue editable ">none</span><span class="cssSemi ">;</span></div> <div class="cssProp focusRow editGroup "><span class=" ">    </span><span class="cssPropName editable ">font-size</span><span class="cssColon ">: </span><span class="cssPropValue editable ">22px</span><span class="cssSemi ">;</span></div> <div class="cssProp focusRow editGroup "><span class=" ">    </span><span class="cssPropName editable ">margin</span><span class="cssColon ">: </span><span class="cssPropValue editable ">0.8em 0</span><span class="cssSemi ">;</span></div> <div class="cssProp focusRow editGroup "><span class="cssSemi "><br /></span></div> <div class="cssProp focusRow editGroup "><span class="cssSemi ">There is no image swapping or text indent. So, search engines CAN see the H2, but visitors can't. Would this be considered sketchy or creative CSS?</span></div> <div class="cssProp focusRow editGroup "></div> <div class="cssProp focusRow editGroup "><span class="cssSemi ">And no, they are not in order... H2 obviously comes first on the page, followed by an H1 element if it's manually inserted onto the page.<br /></span></div> </div> </div></title>
