Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi

I mentioned yesterday how one of our sites was losing rank on product pages.

What steps do you take to improve the SERPS of product pages, in this case home/category/product is the tree.

There isn't really any internal linking, except one link from the category page to each product, would setting up a host of internal links perhaps "similar products" linking them together be a place to start?

How can I improve my ranking of these more deeply internal pages? Not just internal links?

Hi

No the slogan isnt for ranking factors its to try to improve the CTR, so staiting how strong pricing is (as it actually is as this site is a comparison model)

Hi

Scratching our heads here over SERP drop for some of our product pages, Although they are all uniquely titled with the product name, we have recently added 4 words at the end of our title, like a slogan which are repeated on every one of our product pages.

However, we've also seen a drop, but not as far, on related category pages, these have unique titles.

When we talk about "unique title" being important for SEO, does that mean 0 reptition between page titles? I see many companies use their site name in the title (even here see | SEOMOZ Q&A - would four words at the end of a title do this?

Or am i barking up the wrong tree entirely? Ive seen so much movement over the past few weeks its hard to correlate anything we do with the result, so even after advise I think i'll wait a week

Hi Guys

Actually we have done, we've started to produce really good video guide content that is  involving a local community and we feel it's a real value/content play compared to the competition. So I'll push that one as far as i can first before the press releases.

Well, I guess I will add a couple of press releases and measure what happens. As long as it's not hurtful I'm happy (apart from the $400 burned of course)!

I'll make sure they are relevant and interesting. Thanks for all the comments.

Hi

Im seeing our competitors use sites like 24-7pressrelease.com to release rather uninteresting and dubious press releases and it seems to be, looking at their link profiles, the lions share of all links to these particular landing pages. Yet since I've joined SEOMOZ all i've seen is that PR sites don't work and arent worth it.

So far, I've resisted doing any PR stuff and have just kept on creating and promoting content which is severely time heavy work. Is there really 0 value in these? If i have 0 PR currently and add just a couple is that worth it?

The co. we compete against are at it every week with this site and similar paid sites. Are they making a mistake?

Hi

We've just finished a great bit of video content for a page we're trying to push up the serps. I've done some reading around but there are lots of conflicting views.

We have created this content (its a city guide) for the purpose of becoming the resource on this topic but we are a new site and we need the links we hope to generate from this, we don't want the links to youtube.

Where would you upload the video? Everywhere? One place? Vimeo?

Thanks

Interesting, any update for June 2012? Just about to do this.

Ok Tommy

Thanks a lot

Hi

I've read that creating an RSS feed for one of our ecommerce sites will help the products get indexed faster. Currently it takes google 4-5 days to index our new products, we want to speed that up.

Will an RSS feed of the new products we have help?

How do you create an RSS feed for this? Our blog gets indexed within minutes, but our main website, 4 days.

Help!

Hi

There's a question today about paying for Yahoo directory - I wondered if these kinds of links would help with getting indexed. We're adding about 10-20 pages of new unique content each day, but it takes google about 4 days to list it and then it only lists a few pages of that 10-20 pages, we have other older sites and blogs that are within the hour.

What tips can you give me for getting at least a same day index, and a thorough one at that, so if we publish 20 pages on Thursday by the end of play Friday they're indexed? Would the Yahoo Directory help?

Im another for blog on domain and ending /blog not blog.domain.

I find the whole tripadvisor SERP thing highly annoying as an SEO and a search engine user, I don't know what Google are thinking of with their allowing Tripadvisor to be 1,2,3 and even sometimes 4 and more on the SERPS like this, it is NOT what the user wants, nor the hotel. They need to spend time simply on a Tripadvisor update! How much of online search is travel/hotel/restaurant/attraction related? Must be immense.

I want to see Panda,Venice, Pengiun, Tripadvisor....

Hi

We recently trialed some new page titles which seriously helped our CTR on serps, so we thought we would roll them backwards to our other product pages, only about 5% of the SERPS show the new titles.

Do I need to change more on the page to get google to notice these changes?Or just hold on and wait?

This is exactly what i do and have found the same result. In fact, at this moment in time well over half my links don't show in SEOMOZ

Hi Johnathon

Not sure if you read the blog from yesterday or day before but DMEGs is one of several (http://www.seomoz.org/directories) that still seems good.

Without a crystal ball, I don't know if this is a directory that is going to get penguined or not. Anyone?

Hi Diane

How big is your site? I've seen it and doesn't seem like its 100,000s of pages.

What's weird is, just connecting to the site was slow for me today, but the downloading speed of the bones was acceptable. Why don't you speak with TMD before upgrading? There may be no need to pay more, might be some other issue.

Hi Shawn

Even more and up to date info here: http://www.webranking.com/blog/communication-ad-extensions-for-google-adwords#axzz1wTsZPxfK

by "limited" its by query and even advertiser, I know its open in my field of travel, are any of your competitors using it? Either way, hit up your acc. manager? Should be able to let you know and yes, in answer to your question, should be where the screenshot you attached is.

Hi Shawn

Yep its a communication ad extension - it wasn't open to all advertisers at first. You need to check in your account to see if you can add this extention in camp/adword settings if you dont see it then contact adwords support, it was trialing, but might now be live for one and all... anyone know?

Theres loads of diff. communication extensions - see here for a full list
