Any Suggestions For My Site?

[whispertera]

I've recently started a website that is based on movie posters.

The site has fundamentally been built for users and not SEO but I'm wondering if anyone can see any problems or just general advice that may help with our SEO efforts?

The "content" on the website are the movie posters. I know Google likes text content, but I don't see what else we could add that wouldn't be purely for SEO.

My site is: http://www.bit.ly/ZSPbTA

Yes, there is something you can definitely do to help the SEO and the accessibility of your site. You need to write "alt" attributes for all of your images. Right now they all say the same thing "image description" - That's really bad. They should each be unique and describe the content of the image. This is the very first thing I would do, and the sooner the better.

Hope that helps!

Good Clean Design.

Change your posting name from Admin to your name, link it to your Google+ page and cross post to it.

I would definitely include the word "movie" in the title of the post. When searching for Carrie, I'm more apt to search for "Carrie Movie".

Also, Add more content to describe the movie poster.  This is a movie poster DB, I can see a movie poster by doing a Google Search, what I want to see from you is your thoughts on it. How does it compare to previous versions of the movie? (Everything is a remake now-a-days).  What makes it a good poster or a bad one? What fonts are used? Etc.

ALT tags for images are OK, I might add title tags for the links.

Maybe include some Schema markup for things, here's some info about Schema and breadcrumbs.

SEO => Add/Refine meta descriptions. More of a business suggestions--ever thought about earning affiliate revenue by linking to purchase of movie?

I agree with you!

Looks like we missed out the homepage ALT attributes. Good spotting. Will get that fixed.

Great! Yes, it's a quick and easy fix. I also think Jared's suggestion of adding Structured Data markup is an excellent one.

Looking into this as we speak.

Bam, implemented.

Good suggestions here. Will require extra thought as we have something like 1,000 posters already added and that's only 2013's posters.

Maybe include some Schema markup for things, here's some info about Schema and breadcrumbs.

Bam, implemented. Well, I think we've set it up correctly.

i would start with your canonical issues

decide also if you want to keep your pagination pages indexed

your meta details need tweaking

you have some www and non www redirect problems

no meta robots

fix your sitemap

image alt tags

and few more

hope that helps

What areas are going to need canonical? Also, what areas have www and non-www redirect problems?

Working on the rest as we speak.
