Advice on improve this content page for seo and google
-
Hi, i use joomla and i am looking for some help to find out what i should be doing to make my content pages better for seo and google.
I would be grateful if people would look at the following page as an example http://www.in2town.co.uk/trip-advisor/top-american-ski-resorts-for-over-50s
and let me know what i should be doing to make it better for seo and for google so people can find the page.
I am using the above page as an example so i can learn from it.
I would be grateful if people could look at the source code for the page to see if there is anything that should be in their that is not and if i should be looking at any joomla plugins for the content pages to improve the seo of the page.
Any help to improve my seo for my content pages would be great.
many thanks

h mark, it maybe because that is a different author on that page. but the one here is the second one i done and the one above is the 1st as a test
here is the article
i have been adding more to the articles on my site but as yet i have not seen one picture show up in google when i do a search.
-
Hi Diane,
Yes, I would suggest adding the above code I suggested and customizing it to the page.
The rich snippet testing tool indicates that authorship is working for your page but there still must be something which is incorrect -
Let me know how you get on,
Mark

Hi, do you know how long the authorship takes to show up in google. i have added it to many articles on my site but cannot see any results
-
going to spend the night going through the site adding authorship to the articles, but just researching at the moment i am sort out the apply publisher markup to the home page of my site
this has been great information, many thanks.
I have been doing a lot of things wrong, for example the images, now i think it would be best putting the title of the page in the image description or relevant information
-
i have authorised with google this page 52-million-people-take-trips-to-spain-for-cheap-holidays but i take it i still need to put the above information on the page
-
Hi Diane,
- Apply Authorship markup for the person who has written the article.
- Apply publisher markup (your brand Google + page) to the homepage of the site.
- For the logo, just link it to the homepage. I'm not sure what you mean by text in regards this.
Best wishes,
Mark

Hi, thanks for this. Can i confirm a couple of things. If we have a few writers then we would have to have dfferent google authorship, we would not be able to have one under the name of in2town.
i was not aware that the logo should link to our home page, i will do this now, under what text would you link it to the home page, should we be putting in2town, or lifestyle magazine
many thanks fr your help

Hi Diane,
I thought I wold jump in as no one else has so far. My suggestions are noted below -
- Apply Google + authorship markup to all of the articles on your site.
If we take the article you just linked to as an example, you can see that markup has no been applied to it.
If you can't find a suitable Joomla SEO plugin (apologies, my Joomla knowledge is poor so I can't recommend one), you need to add the below HTML to each article and tailor it.

I would also suggest improving the content a little bit. The title of the article is 'Top American ski resorts for over 50s, but the content of the article doesn't make it clear what the top resorts actually are. The body of the article would benefit greatly from more information about the resorts in a clear format, and possibly with added images.
-
The alt text for the image seems a little spammy - 'skiing holiday ideas'. The alt text of an image should reflect what the image is about.
-
Random suggestion, I find it strange that your logo doesn't link to the homepage
-
The title tag of your site doesn't contain your brand name. Worth putting at the end of the title tag.
I could go a lot deeper but hopefully that's a starting point for you Diane.
Any more questions then just shout!
Best wishes,
Mark

Removing Personal content from Google Index
Hi everyone, A user is complaining that her name is appearing in google search through our job ads site, so I removed such ads through Search Console, but the problem is not the ads anymore but our internal search results. The ads are no longer live but our searches has been indexed by google back then, We have been manually taking over 500 pages that included such name but more and more keep coming through pagination, we haven't found a pattern yet so pretty much any search result might have contained such name. We might get some legal issues here, did you guys got into anything similar before? We have just set some rules so that this doesn't happen again, but still can't find a way to deal with this one. Thanks in advance. PD: Not sure if this is the right category to fit it.

Duplicate Page content / Rel=Cannonical
My SEO Moz crawl is showing duplicate content on my site. What is showing up are two articles I submitted to Submit your article (article submission service). I put their code in to my pages i.e. " <noscript><b>This article will only display in JavaScript enabled browsers.</b></noscript> " So do I need to delete these blog posts since they are showing up as dup content? I am having a difficult time understanding rel=cannonical. Isn't this for dup content on within one site? So I could not use rel="cannonical" in this instance? What is the best way to feature an article or press release written for another site, but that you want your clients to see? Rewritting seem ridiculous for a small business like ours. Can we just present the link? Thank you.

How can I prevent duplicate content between www.page.com/ and www.page.com
SEOMoz's recent crawl showed me that I had an error for duplicate content and duplicate page titles. This is a problem because it found the same page twice because of a '/' on the end of one url. e.g. www.page.com/ vs. www.page.com My question is do I need to be concerned about this. And is there anything I should put in my htaccess file to prevent this happening. Thanks!

Getting Google to index new pages
I have a site, called SiteB that has 200 pages of new, unique content. I made a table of contents (TOC) page on SiteB that points to about 50 pages of SiteB content. I would like to get SiteB's TOC page crawled and indexed by Google, as well as all the pages it points to. I submitted the TOC to Pingler 24 hours ago and from the logs I see the Googlebot visited the TOC page but it did not crawl any of the 50 pages that are linked to from the TOC. I do not have a robots.txt file on SiteB. There are no robot meta tags (nofollow, noindex). There are no 'rel=nofollow' attributes on the links. Why would Google crawl the TOC (when I Pinglered it) but not crawl any of the links on that page? One other fact, and I don't know if this matters, but SiteB lives on a subdomain and the URLs contain numbers, like this: http://subdomain.domain.com/category/34404 Yes, I know that the number part is suboptimal from an SEO point of view. I'm working on that, too. But first wanted to figure out why Google isn't crawling the TOC. The site is new and so hasn't been penalized by Google. Thanks for any ideas...
