Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Donald,

I'm using Drupal 7.

I publish a lot of events for my geo-domain but I'm not really publishing "news" per se.

I think I'll keep using CDN until I can somehow get AMP working with it and Drupal 7.  At times, I really wish I had gone down the WordPress path.

Thanks for posting your experience.  I'm grateful.

Hello.  I'm running a CMS that cannot currently support both CDN and Google AMP.  I would have to choose one or the other.

Does anyone have any insight on which may be the better choice until I can figure out how to have both?  I installed CDN first to reduce the time it took for my pages/images to load.

I'd like to have AMP because it can do the same, and perhaps be a little more Google friendly (their product).

I would appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks!

My site is roughly 1000 pages.  I've begun refreshing older content.

I noticed about half of my pages have no incoming traffic.

Should I look at combining some of these pages and 301 redirecting the former links to that new "bigger" page and then having my home page show that new consolidated content?

They don't have good back links either.

Example layout now:

Home Page

- Restaurants [show list of cuisines]

- User clicks on Italian [show list of all Italian restaurants]

- Choice 1

- Choice 2

Even though my main page is seen by about 100,000 people a month, it doesn't seem like anyone is interested in going down that path so none of the restaurants are clicked.

How could I improve the user interface/experience and incorporate best Google practices?

Thanks,

Steve

Hello All!

I have a question about having my search term in my URL when the first two words are actually my domain name.

For example, my domain is plutobeach.com and I want to optimize for events.

Which is better?

plutobeach.com/events

plutobeach.com/plutobeach-events

Is the latter keyword stuffing?  I'm using the on-page grader here and wondering how much of a difference that can make.

Thanks!

Steve

Thanks everyone.  I really appreciate the time and effort each of you spent helping a newbie.  I will stop using them completely.

I'm updating some older pages and was wondering about potential penalties from having keywords that start with the same phrase.  It's a geographic area so there is the "full name" and the abbreviated name.  I'd like to have keywords for both.

For example:

virginia beach, va beach, virginia beach attraction, virginia beach things to do, va beach attraction, va beach things to do, virginia beach dolphins tour, va beach dolphins tour

Is that spammy? I understand they don't have the same weight as they used to but I'd like to optimize for them anyway since I'm redoing some things.

Thanks in advance.
