Very basic hands-on type of question about SEO

[lolskizz]

@ 1) So would there be any advantage in giving title: How to change part1 in your robot | mypage.com over Part1 overhaul | mypage.com - they pretty much mean same thing and I think they might be equally popular but second is shorter

@ 2) That's what I meant, content I have on my website is related closesly to keywords - nonetheless should I try to avoid keyword here over nice slick and matching description? However I get the idea and will keep that in mind.

@ 3) OK no meta keywords. Sounds strange but I trust you So if everyone suddenly stopped using them how would you be able to check how competitive each phrase is ?

@ 4) Have them, will definately use them!

@ 5) That's what I had in my mind. It can be tricky but doable and I'm sure I could create good content with few synonims or different phrases. In the end it's not great to use same phrase over and over again I suppose.

@ 6) images naming: should I use the _ or - ? First time I have put images in one of my articles I had sequencial name for each robots_part1/2/3 but not alt tags. Now is it important to have the name of image describing its contents - as the alt tag does ? You can google images but I didn't get to the part of how these are being read by googlebots.

7. Definately will investigate that link.

Thanks very much for your help.

Currently my links look like that:

http://domain.com/tutorials-photo,14,replacing-parts.html

How have you managed to get commas in your URLs?

It's not that they won't work but they should be reserved as special characters - http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.html

How are you building your site?

[lolskizz]

I actually don't build this website myself. I got someone to do it for me.

[StalkerB]

So how is your site structured?

Are the commas the same a folders/categories?

As in is tutorials-photo,14,replacing-parts.html equivalent to category,id,filename.html?

Is the site built in Joomla?

[lolskizz]

hmm, I don't know how to answer this question, so I'll just give you the link, however website is not in english http://naprawrower.pl

[StalkerB]

Not Joomla I don't think, but it's a more than unusual way to make a site

Anyway, it works. I've never tested what commas do with regards SEO, so can't say if it will help or hinder.

Was question 7 about internal link structure or gaining external links? (or, as I first thought how to actually code a link?)

[lolskizz]

Well what I was wondering is I will write an article on certain topic and I don't think I will have any big amount of internal links to put in there. Obviously with time the amount of content will grow and it will allow me to put one or two links in one article going to another one. Is there any min. I should be aiming at ?

[StalkerB]

No point in irrelevant linking.

There's no harm in going back and adding links once you have relevant content to link to, sometimes you even change where links are pointing, but I wouldn't aim to have X amount of links in each article.

For my own sites the more powerful the page the more likely I am to put extra links in but as a rule I try not to have more than 3 links in the body of an article. But, simply linking when it seems useful is a good rule of thumb.
