Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If they serve two very different functions I could see the advantage. Does your client already have the the multiple websites? Or are you looking at splitting up their current site?

This echoes the sentiment behind EGOL and Ray-pp: as much you need. Don't throw text on the home page just for the sake of having more text on it for SEO. That's the very definition of spam and thin content. If you don't intend for anybody to read it, don't keep it.

Yes! That definitely answers my question, and my thinking re- below the fold line is exactly what I was thinking! Thanks again Ray-pp!

Hi Angelo, I was wondering if you were able to solve this issue or if you ever saw my question above? Should be this question closed or are you still looking for an answer?

Thank you both for your responses and my apologies that I haven't been able to respond sooner. I will start by looking into it a bit more before making any significant changes however maybe 2015 is a nice year for a complete site redesign. Thank you for you thoughts. Regards Jarno

Oh cool. I heard about that, before my time though.  Thanks again!

Thanks for this. I think you're probably right - but it's very frustrating!

Hi Dennis, Thanks however the pages got re cached again today but still half of the links of menu bar are not visible in "Google cache text version".

Agreed, Paul.  I only gave my answer based directly on the question as I try not to assume I know what they want to do. I wouldn't build ANY part of my own site to look like the above domain.  Given that, OP asked if it would "make these links visible to Search Engines."  Sitemap does that, and as I originally posted "it's not the best way" Also, if you basically ONLY have a sitemap and most of the authority flows to there, then it can only go to the pages on the sitemap - well, it'll work to an extent but it's not perfect.

It all depends on the page code. In general I would not be scared about using JS in your page. But it all depends on how you use it. It's a vast topic. Let me try to reduce it to something very small. As far as you serve browsers an html page which includes all the content you want google to index, you are probably safe. When you serve an html page with a portion of that content and you load additional content with AJAX, you are almost sure google won't index it properly. Google notoriously penalize pages which tries to stuff content for google bot manipulating it with JS to hide it from real visitors eyes. That's bad. But in between are endless possibilities and it all comes to what your JS is doing. So it's hard to define a general rule. Said that, today you can find examples of tabbed content in pure CSS: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=pure%20css%20tabs Like this nice one: http://codepen.io/wallaceerick/pen/ojtal But, also CSS has it's drawbacks, mainly browsers support: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_browsersupport.asp

This article on Google's content quality scoring definitely recommends having your content "immediately visible" and "above the fold." There was a page layout algorithm in 2012 that the article claims "lowered rankings" for sites that lack content above the fold.

Hi there, There are many reasons a website may be slow, below are some of them: A huge spike in Additional Traffic. A Dynamic Site without caching. Extremely Large or non-optimized graphics. Extremely Large or non-optimized database. Large amount of calls to external websites (twitter, facebook, youtube, etc...) Connectivity issues Hope it helps you

Hi, I agree with The Zen Agency and SEOwoody, responsive is the best way to go. Maybe it take some more time to set it all up, but the advantage you'll have when it's done and also, manage afterwards of one website is worth much more. Goodluck! Leonie

Yes, I think Party_Experts is right, that duplicating the date will help the user's experience because they'd be able to see all of the information together. As far as H tags, anything lower than the H1 tag is probably not going to have a lot of influence, so I wouldn't worry about that part too much.

Hi there, I'd recommend keeping these links going to the homepage of your website and not worrying about commercial anchor text. It should be the name of your company as the anchor text and going to the homepage. This may seem very cautious but I've seen these links cause issues over the last couple of years so it's worth being careful. I'd agree with you that the value of these is pretty low and I'd echo what Dennis says below re not making this the only way that you get inbound links. I hope that helps! Paddy

Hi Monica, It's almost certainly an issue related to the Backlinker plugin given that error message, though clearly it's not a straightforward solution. I found this post on the wordpress forum, perhaps this is your issue too (by member pee_dee): "Look in header.php inside your current theme and find this line: http://www.4llw4d.freefilesblog.com/jquery-1.6.3.min.js This server is no longer able to provide the .js file linked to your theme. I found it mine at: http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.6.3.min.js Get a hold of the .js file (or google the heck out of the .js file you need) and point to it on your server." Hope that works George

Thanks George, much appreciated.

DYNO Mapper is great at visualizing a website's structure. It is the best Sitemap Generator that I have used because it also performs a content audit and includes Google Analytics integration. It's pretty sweet how you can sort and filter pages based on Google Analytics metrics. If you are looking for a great discovery and planning tool I would give it a try. 110649952

Try using something like LiveHTTPHeaders to view all of the HTTP requests and responses involved. You should see the request going to the redirected domain (GET domain.co.uk) and then the response such as HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently followed by a new request to the new domain (GET domain2.co.uk) and the response will naturally be HTTP/1.1 200 OK because the server at the new domain has answered the request successfully.

Hi Andy, Thanks a lot for a quick response. With some development we could edit our country URLs (the site is on wordpress, with WPML multilingual). We do own palmatin.co.uk but it's not being used right now. Would you suggest keeping the UK site on co.uk and rephrasing .com for the states & international traffic? thanks, jaan
