Homepage display for seo

[Nemek]

Personally I've seen both approaches work well, and I don't think Google favours either type of website.

A more dynamic homepage is harder though to optimize for specific keywords - as your posts change you may end up not having your top target keywords on the home page in some instances. You can solve this by having a portion of the text on the home page static.

Many thanks for your reply..

Up to know (for more than 2 years) i 've got a still homepage, i 'd like to change now rather for a blog "presentation", does this change could influence  something for the PR of the page or domain  ?

[AlanMosley]

no i wouldent have the blog on the home page as suggested you lose control of the on page. Use the blog to increase content elsewhere

[Nemek]

No, not really. Technically if the number of outgoing links changed drastically you could alter the flow of page rank on the website, but I wouldn't fuss about it.

[mozllo]

ok, so it depends the seo "weight" of the page in fact ...

[mozllo]

Ok, tks, homepage is important, but the other pages also !

A homepage is not always "the page" with the highest PR, isn't ?

A page on the same domain can bring higher  Pr according its content, internal/external  links, backlinks...

[AlanMosley]

It usely ius because of internal linking, and being the root

[mozllo]

You mean that when you link something internal , the path is always www.mydomain.com/article  so the root is always mentioned and then bring mor juicy link, weight and so on ?

You can go with any one from these approach. Main thing how much interesting content is. Content should be useful  for the users.

Regarding SEO Purpose, updations is major ethics and both approach is going to update content on regular basis, so you can go with any approach.

[AlanMosley]

I mean because of link sculpting, all popular patterns lead to the home page haveing the highest pr

Tks a lot..

[mozllo]

Ok tks a lot

I usually put on the home page a lot of links when I don't want to rank the homepage for specific keyword (or when it's too hard to rank). My homepage has to give it's juice the best way, so :

• First the top pages of my site (selected manually, or the most popular ones), so you may put the articles you want to rank the most

• Then the pages recently created to index them faster in Google and give content freshness to the domain

• Finally the pages with recent activity (update, comments, etc.), this usually allow old pages to get some fresh internal link
