Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for your response Nick, Great answer

Yes, I am using WordPress Cloudflare.  I will get on to this soon and let you know how I get on.

how do I write a 301 redirect in the htaccess file so that http:// goes straight to https://www. Moz replyHey there!Thanks for reaching out to us!

What's the easy way to get to 25DA quickly?

Hi

I have inherited a website http://www.hanmersprings.net.nz/  Domain sore 17

The website promotes Rippinvale so I want to register a domain rippinvale.com and direct the old domain to the new one.

Is this the best way to do this to maximise the link authority?

Sorry, Andy.  I must be tired.  I have edited it now

My home page is doing well.  It's the "about us" page that is getting very little traffic.

I am interested to know your thoughts on which keywords to target for your about page.

While most keyword strategies are about creating or optimizing pages on categories.  This is great for product/service page ideas, but I never know what my about page should come up for.

Should it just be your name or can you utilize this page to capture some categories or keywords that are difficult to rank for;  I.e  We rank well for "web design [location]"  not so well for "[location] web design"

Can anyone provide any tips to help promote my NZ site to the travelers in the US UK Europe & Australia

www.southernwhitewater.com

• So far I have added Google translate in 36 languages,
• Left the targeting blank in webmaster tools
• Using CloudFlare CDN
• Registered with NZ travel directories with international reach

I have seen the Moz video on options but I can see how I would make pages for these different locations without messing up the navigation.  How do I tell google to pull an alternate subdomain when you are searching for example the US (with the US based keywords in the page)

Is there any alternative search sources to consider (International directories, like DMOZ)

Thanks Rod

Thanks Russ

Good answer.

Yes, I do update quite frequently on some of my sites. Cloudfare does have a button to refresh the cache instantly, but that would mean you would have to go to it every time you made a change.

Caching Level

Determine how much of your website's static content you want CloudFlare to cache. Increased caching can speed up page load time.Caching Level    Ignore the query string of static content

Hi Don, I have made those changes now.

I still have an index for my home page, but it is; a banner, 2 text pages and a gallery page. If you look at the index though the Moz bar you can see that the H1 & H2 titles have information from the whole index as if it is one long single page.

Thanks Moosa

Yes I have just put this up and went a little OTT on the urls.  I will pull strip them back shortly.

No, the index (index stack) is about the individual pages stacked down a page with no submenu, as opposed to the site index in the footer.   The footer shows how to get to the individual pages by themselves the same way you would in a drop down menu.

Thanks Don

Good answer and I appreciate the detail.  I have been assured that the individual content will not be seen by google as duplicate by the creators, but I am not entirely convinced, and have come to a similar conclusion to you and will be pulling away the home page and making a link across to an index of the services pages.  I have a client who is very particular about the look.  Most will understand the trade-off between plenty of above the fold content, and keeping the opening image clean picturesque and minimalistic.

I will let you know when its finished.  I would like to hear from other people who stack pages in an index as opposed to a drop-down menu or sub-navigation.   This design seems to be quite good for tablets where scrolling is easy and loading pages is slower.  (another trade of between desktops and tablets)

I will be testing a change from one configuration to other to see if the performance improves or not on some of my other sites.  Nothing like an a/b split to put the mind at rest.

I have created an index stack.  My home page is http://www.southernwhitewater.com

The home page is the index itself and the 1st page http://www.southernwhitewater.com/nz-adventure-tours-whitewater-river-rafting-hunting-fishing

My home page (if your look at it through moz bat for chrome bar} incorporates all the pages in the index. Is this Bad?  I would prefer to index each page separately.  As per my site index in the footer

What is the best way to optimize all these pages individually and still have the customers arrive at the top to a picture.  rel= canonical?

Any help would be great!!

Its a stack of pages that follow one another down a page.  It looks like a really long home page, but there are 6 pages in my stack.

You can link directly to a page and it will appear only as that page e.g. if you want to go to my rafting page. http://www.southernwhitewater.com/rafting

But if you went to my home page you will see that page appear as you scroll down  http://www.southernwhitewater.com

So that is what I call and index stack other people might call it and index.  Very modern sites are going this way as it suits phones and tablets as you don't have to keep opening and closing slow loading pages on your device.
