Getting home page content at top of what robots see
-
When I click on the text-only cache of
nlpca(dot)com
on the home page
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:UIJER7OJFzYJ:www.nlpca.com/&hl=en&gl=us&strip=1
our H1 and body content are at the very bottom.
How do we get the h1 and content at the top of what the robots see?
Thanks!

For design purposes I never used it. Maybe a few times. Only for SEO I've really used it.
The code that you don't care about Google seeing first is what you put down on the bottom and absolute position it to the top so the website still looks the same.
-
Brent, I used to be a web designer. I was always told that absolute positioning was usually bad.
Also, is the code at the top that's seen first or is it the data that's absolutely positioned at the top?
-
Absolute Positioning will allow you to create a div at the bottom of the page, but display it at the top using css.
for example to have div2 display about div1, it would look like this in the code.
Google sees first.
People see firstcss code:
#div1 {width:900px;height:500px}
#div2 {position:absolute;top:-15px;width:900px;height:100px}I know it's not a very good example of code, but you should get the idea enough to start testing your layout. Also, go ahead and use this for testing. http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_position_absolute

That's OK Brent. I hope you enjoyed Mexico.
Yes, please explain more.
-
Sorry for the delay, I was in Mexico on vacation.
Did you get your answer or would you like me to explain more?
-
Could you say more Brent, I thought absolute positioning was something to stay away from from a CSS perspective. I'm open to your idea, I just need to know more.
-
Use absolute positioning to arrange the content in the order you want Search Engines to see first.

Hi there,
It will be due to the way theHTML is written. You will have to alter the HTML to reach your desired outcome. I think the HTML is rendered in the order that it appears on the page e.g. from top to bottom.
You have lots of menu options and these are listed first in the html page.
I also recommend a general review of things as your title is not appearing in the cached page either. Perhaps its because you are specifying it here as well:
name="title" content="NLP Training, Courses, Certification | NLP Institute of California" />
Hope this helps.
All the best!

Robots txt. in page with 301 redirect
We currently have a a series of help pages that we would like to disallow from our robots txt. The thing is that these help pages are located in our old website, which now has a 301 redirect to current site. Which is the proper way to go around? 1- Add the pages we want to disallow to the robots.txt of the new website? 2- Break the redirect momentarily and add the pages to the robots.txt of the old one? Thanks

Duplicate Content on SEO Pages
I'm trying to create a bunch of content pages, and I want to know if the shortcut I took is going to penalize me for duplicate content. Some background: we are an airport ground transportation search engine(www.mozio.com), and we constructed several airport transportation pages with the providers in a particular area listed. However, the problem is, sometimes in a certain region multiple of the same providers serve the same places. For instance, NYAS serves both JFK and LGA, and obviously SuperShuttle serves ~200 airports. So this means for every airport's page, they have the super shuttle box. All the provider info is stored in a database with tags for the airports they serve, and then we dynamically create the page. A good example follows: http://www.mozio.com/lga_airport_transportation/ http://www.mozio.com/jfk_airport_transportation/ http://www.mozio.com/ewr_airport_transportation/ All 3 of those pages have a lot in common. Now, I'm not sure, but they started out working decently, but as I added more and more pages the efficacy of them went down on the whole. Is what I've done qualify as "duplicate content", and would I be better off getting rid of some of the pages or somehow consolidating the info into a master page? Thanks!

Duplicate Content on Product Pages
Hello I'm currently working on two sites and I had some general question's about duplicate content. For the first one each page is a different location, but the wording is identical on each; ie it says Instant Remote Support for Critical Issues, Same Day Onsite Support with a 3-4 hour response time, etc. Would I get penalized for this? Another question i have is, we offer Antivirus support for providers ie Norton, AVG,Bit Defender etc. I was wondering if we will get penalized for having the same first paragraph with only changing the name of the virus provider on each page? My last question is we provide services for multiple city's and towns in various states. Will I get penalized for having the same content on each page, such as towns and producuts and services we provide? Thanks.

Home Page .index.htm and .com Duplicate Page Content/Title
I have been whittling away at the duplicate content on my clients' sites, thanks to SEOmoz's pro report, and have been getting push back from the account manager at register.com (the site was built here and the owner doesn't want to move it). He says these are the exact same page and he can't access one to redirect to the other. Any suggestions? The SEOmoz report says there is duplicate content on both these urls: Durango Mountain Biking | Durango Mountain Resort - Cascade Village http://www.cascadevillagehotel.com/index.htm Durango Mountain Biking | Durango Mountain Resort - Cascade Village http://www.cascadevillagehotel.com/ Your help is greatly appreciated!

Cant get my head around this duplicate content dilemma!
Hi, Lets say you have a cleaning company, you have a services page, which covers window cleaning, carpet cleaning etc, lets say the content on this page adds up to around 750 words. Now lets say you would like to create new pages which targeted location specific keywords in your area. The easiest way would be to copy the services page and just change all the tags to the location specific term but now you have duplicate content. If I wanted to target 10 locations, does this now mean I need to generate 750 words of unique content for each page which is basically the services page rewritten? Cheers
