Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Utah Tiger I am assuming you are UtahTiger.net and you have a quality competitor who is UtahTiger.com and you are trying to insure people know the difference and equate you with the .net. If so, then I would go about it this way in terms of your on page. I would not put it in the title tag. I would see that from a customer point of view as odd. I would caution against trying to overdo it and have it on every page as well because it looks spammy. I would use an About Us or and About UtahTiger (title tag) with a brief who we are paragraph and then use an H1: There Is a Difference with UtahTiger.net or similar. for the content after the H1 I would tell the .net story. You could even then use an H2 that was: When you think of UtahTiger... Don't Forget the NET! Anything catchy will work for branding imprint in a customer's mind. That is what you want. If your domain really was UtahTiger.net, man, that would be easy: We're the Tiger you caught in the NET! That would be my approach. As to the SEO you hired, I would simply ask his rationale for the title tag and see if he has anything further for the strategy. Best,

On one site I work on all of the content is loaded with AJAX.  I've seen evidence that Google is indexing this text, because if I search for this AJAX content, Google is returning those pages on my site for which it appears on. There aren't many backlinks to these pages, and none that I've found with those phrases as anchor text. So if Google is finding this text out from somewhere else, I can't figure it out. I'd still rather have our content loaded normally, but I wasn't given a choice, so I'm glad to see it's working.  I'd think long and hard before setting up HTML snapshots as given here: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/, as doing so would be a considerable amount of work, especially considering how far Google has already come with indexing AJAX content.

I just thought of something else. This is slightly less critical but try to keep the file size of your page under 1mb. Some say 50kb but I think that's a little extreme in the age of broadband. The site I market is 1.1mb and loads in only 1.18 seconds. But do try to stay under 1mb because of mobile phones which are slower. (Unless you have a mobile version of your site, like I do) Also, make sure all of your code validates. http://validator.w3.org/

Sounds like a pagination question and you should follow Google's advice - http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2012/03/video-about-pagination-with-relnext-and.html In any event, customers shouldn't be the one deciding what to present to Google and you should block out the results  parameter in  Webmaster tools. Perhaps share your pages and I can give more direct advice.

The general rule is to have no more than 100 links per page, so you can probably increase this page from an SEO stand-point and still be OK. However, you also want to consider user-experience. Will the page look more tidy or be more functional for the visitor at 25 listings per page or at 50 or a 100? We recently had a similar issue on a site I was working on at http://babynamesdiary.com/baby-names-and-meanings/ - which uses databases for baby name ideas and we opted to go with 25 names per page, but also included a list of name origins at the bottom (which is like category pages) to help both the visitors to the site and also help our SEO. What I find is that the best method is a balance of visitor experience and good SEO (but always place visitor experience first and the rest should naturally follow). If you like this answer, please give us a thumbs up!

I'd second Vahe's response re Magento. Also I have used Volusion - it's not too bad if you know what you are doing. I'd prefer Magento though.

I have avoided using a line break by putting the product name in a single cell table and constricting the width.

Yes, you are within the acceptable range, save for maybe these two: **Maybe remove what I **emboldened Title:- Electronic Dictionaries, Buy Best Electronic Dictionaries Discounted at Online Pharmacy Title:- Cat Skin Care, Buy Cat Skin Care Products Discounted at Online Pharmacy

If your website is dynamic (database driven) then you can generate the sitemap using programming language. This way you are always up to date - whenever you add new page it's automatically added to the sitemap - no need to run external application every time that happens. I'm soon going to be recording a video tutorial on how to do it with PHP and DomDocument.

Sorry for being a bit slow to respond to this one. I agree that the less aggressive option might be best here. I see that there area a ton of comments on that already. You have quite the community there!

Mmm... not really. For instance, if a blog site is linking to a competitor site, study why and how it did it. Maybe it is citing the competitor site in a more generic post related to the industry you and your competitor are part of. Or maybe it is reviewing one of its services/products. In both cases you are legitimate to contact that blog and try to earn a link from it.

Dont disagree with you at all EGOL.I actually dont mind a long page in these cases either.  Makes for really impressive page and good SEO.

Hello Alec, Kane Jamison is right - if you were to do the 40x40 project, you'd have to write 1600 pages of content! Though not totally impossible, it's pretty much the next closest thing to impossible. Kane is on the right track. What you are in need of is a plan for organization. Such a plan might looks something like this: -Have a landing page for each of your dance schools. -The page must be well optimized for the schools' locations. -Write good, unique content for each of these landing pages (at least we're only talking about 40 pages here). -List the main classes that are available at each school on its respective landing page. -Build an onsite blog. -Every week, write several posts about special classes, new classes, events, etc. going on at different schools. -Have an area on each dance studio page from which you link to some of the blog posts that are specifically about something at that studio. In this way, you can build content in a gradual way about different things that happen in each of the schools, without undertaking the crazy work of trying to write copy for 1600 pages. Chances are, you won't rank #1 for every single thing you offer, but if you out-write and out-link most competitors, you should end up getting lots of good rankings. What' I've suggested is just a strategy brainstormed in a couple of minutes. You can work out the fine details. You definitely need to decide on the architecture of the site first. Good luck! Miriam

Sorry mate, that was meant to be a repy to a different post
