Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Gaston, appreciate the response. I was pretty sure that'd be the case but good to get another opinion!

My client is concerned about duplicate content on their site which has versions of the same page in multiple regions. All pages are english language and the regions are; Asia, North America, Australia, Europe, UK and Rest of the World. The url just changes the location to a folder e.g. .com/australia

My question is does anyone have any recommendations on how to handle this for Europe, Asia and Rest of the World? Any thoughts would be appreciated

Hi All,

Our designers have come to the SEO team to ask if have a large image across the top of the page taking up a large majority of the above the fold real estate will impact our SEO.

Our initial thoughts are no as long as we have an optimised H1 visibal to the user landing there which informs them what the page is about.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi All,

We're currently redesigning a website for a new home developer and we're trying to figure out the best way to deal with tabbed content in the URL structure. The design of the site at the moment will have a page for a development and within that you can select your house type, then when on the house type page there will be tabs displayed for the user to see things like the plot map, availability and pricing, specifications, etc.

The way our development team are looking at handling this is for the URL to use a hashtag or a query string at the end of it so we can still land users on these specific tabs for PPC for example.

My question is really, has anyone had any experience with this? Any recommendations on how to best display the urls for SEO?

Thanks

I've just had a demo from a content aggregator service called NewsCred. Essentially the service licenses the use of content from multiple sources on our own site.  They claim that as the content is all properly referenced back to the original sites there are no SEO implication to the host site.

Are they correct? Should we stay away?

Hi,

We are working with a client who has a Spanish site which is in English and Spanish, what is the best url structure to go for?

www.domain.es and en.domain.es

or www.domain.es and www.domain.es/en

or none of the above?

Is it advisable to have a site structure that is navigated via URLs rather than cookies?

In a website that has several location based pages - each with their own functions and information?

Is this a SEO priority? Will it help to combat duplicate content?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the response Alan, really helpful to get another persons opinion.

We're thinking that all  content detail needs to presented on ONE url regardless of the section that you arrive to it from and any inline content reveals will need to be unique to that section – so the content should be more relevant

Hi,

I am working on a website redesign and the client offers several services and within those services some elements of the services crossover with one another.

For example, they offer a service called Modelling and when you click onto that page several elements that build up that service are featured, so in this case 'mentoring'. Now mentoring is common to other services therefore will feature on other service pages. The page will feature a mixture of unique content to that service and small sections of duplicate content and I'm not sure how to treat this.

One thing we have come up with is take the user through to a unique page to host all the content however some features do not warrant a page being created for this. Another idea is to have the feature pop up with inline content.

Any thoughts/experience on this would be much appreciated.

Hi,

A client has mentioned that they are working with their design company to create three different hompage versions (one for Scotland, one for England and one for international visitors) which will be shown to the visitors dependent upon their locations. They are working in connection with MaxMind who I have not come across before.

My question is would this have a negative impact on SEO?
