      Site = e-commerce

      Products = clothing (no apparel can be location specific like sports gear where you can do the location specific team gear (NBA, NFL, etc))

      Problems =

      a. no store front

      b. I don't want to do any sitewides (footers, sidebars, etc) because of the penguin update

      Question = How do you geo-target these category pages and product pages?

      Ideas =

      a. reviews with clients locations

      b. blog posts with clients images wearing apparel and location description and keywords that also links back to that category or be it product page (images geo- targeted, tags, and description)

      c. ?

      Thanks in advance!

        Strategy:

        • Add value to visitors from those specific cities. It's the only way to do it right.

        Ideas:

        • Provide a resource for "where to buy" within those cities. CityGrid/CitySearch, Yelp, Foursquare will provide the locations through their API's. More here..
        • City knowledge graph, demographics, what's trending, what's hot, authority social profiles. Help define your market, with transparency.
        • Price comparisons between physical stores & online store. Pricebot? hmm..

        • Something happened within the last 2 weeks on our WordPress-hosted site that created "duplicates" by counting www.company.com/example and company.com/example (without the 'www.') as separate pages. Any idea what could have happened, and how to fix it?

        • My crawl can't find ANY product pages. The links to product pages aren't links, they're script. :(

        • I've seen and heard alot about city-specific landing pages for businesses with multiple locations, but what about city-specific landing pages for cities nearby that you aren't actually located in? Is it ok to create landing pages for nearby cities?
