List of products, also on home

[MilosMilcom]

What happens with sites that have the complete list of products in the home page and in the "Products" section.

Would like to know your opinion as web developers and users and like SEO professionals.

I'm in duality like web developer, somehow my subconscience is telling me that is stupid to have it on both places... And the home page is getting nice results and comments from the users, so, would consider quitting the "Products" teaser view. But of course, eliminate the "Products" section is somehow... un natural....

And what happens with SEO, I read somewhere that it's not very good to have all the "rank" spread in so many links in the home page... I don't even understand it completely or neven sure they said rank or juice..., but it's something that is concerning me...

We are talking about 20 products, that can grow. I'm looking to have a better SEO, but also the UX is very important, even more than SEO (I know good UX is better SEO).

Thanks in advance to any contribution.

Milos, not really sure about others but it is really tough for me to say anything about your specific case without having a look at your website.

To me every case in terms of UX is different but obviously its most depends upon users and how they have behaving on the website. Generally i think you should not focus on words but you have to look in to analytics to get some data in hand regarding what pages are most visited, how users are behaving on the website, how user behaviour is impacting sales and then come up to some decision about eliminating or changing any page of the website.

Even though you said people are engaging well with products on the home page you have to see what route most visitors choose to made a conversion and consider the changes accordingly.

The advice would be to discuss the website in detail with any SEO so that help can help you with different scenarios and possibilities...

Yes... analyzing data would be the best way to start... will try to bring more information for tomorrow and paste it here so we could speak with real numbers.

Thanks!

It would be great if you can share some real numbers here! This way members in this community can help you better with the ideas they have in their mind (two heads are better then one!)

looking forward for some DATA from you.

Take a spin through Fabio Ricotta's slide-deck from MozCon 2012. There are a number of E-Commerce examples for including products on other pages to increase conversions.
