Page structure and how to optimize old content

[nm1977]

SITE STRUCTURE

I am trying to optimize the structure of our site Dreamestatehuahin.com. Getting a visible sitemap of my page make me realized it was not a pyramid as I expected it to be but instead very flat.

I Would be happy for some advise on how to structure my site in future aswell how to optimize certain place on the page that i think need a change.

1: structure on posts.

Maybe I misunderstand how post works in wordpress or something happen with my theme.

When I look at my page sitemap my page is VERY flat because permalinks setting I chose the setting as post name (recommended in most articles). http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/sample-post

What I actually believed was that post name was place after /blog/ like:

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/blog/sample-post I would be a good idea to do like this right?

Should I add some SEO text on the top of my blog page before the actually posts. Or would this be a bad idea due to pagination causing double content?

Could one do 4 blogs in one site and replace the name “blog” in the url with a keywords

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/hua-hin-attractions/sample-post

2) Pages Based on property type

From our top menu, i have made links under for sael using wordpress property types

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-type/villa/

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-type/hot-deals/

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-type/condominium/

Earlier I found that these pages created duplictaon of titles due to pagenation so I deleted the h1

What would you do with these pages. Should I optimize them with a text and h1. maybe it is possible to add some title and text content for the top of the first page only (the one page that are linked to our top menu)

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-type/villa

and not to page 2, 3, 4…..

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-type/villa/page/2/

b) Also maybe I should rename the property types

WOuld it make sence to change name of the property types from etc villa to villas for sale or even better villas for sale hua hin

Then the above urls will look like this instead:

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-type/villas-for-sale/

Or Maybe renaming a property type would result in many 404 errors and not be worth the effort?

3) LINKING + REPOSTING OUR “PROPERTY” PAGES AND DO A 301 REDIRECT?

a) Would It be good idea to link back from all properties description to one of our 5 optimized landingpages (for the keyword home/house/condo/villa) for sale in Hua Hin?

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-hua-hin/

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/house-for-sale-hua-hin/

b) Also so far we haven’t been really good about optimizing each property (no keywords, optimized titles or descriptions)

etc. http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property/baan-suksamran/

I wonder if it would be worth the effort to optimize content of each of the old properties )photos-text) on our page?

Or maybe post the old properties again in a new optimized version and do a 301 redirect from the old post?

Hi Tamir,

First of all welcome to the Moz community!

I would propose you to take a few hours and watch the following two mozinars:

• http://moz.com/webinars/advanced-wordpress-seo
• http://moz.com/webinars/internal-linking-a-scientific-scalable-approach

The advanced Wordpress SEO helped me a lot in understanding how to approach the technical implementations on Wordpress for SEO purposes. It is quite old, but I do not think it is outdated at all.

I hope these help respond your questions.

Gr., Keszi
