      So I'm working with a client who has no heading tags on his site and I'm wondering if there is an ideal method to implementing these on the product pages specifically, as the wording I ideally want to specify is is the product title, which i can't really code with an H1.

      Has anyone run into this issue? If so, what was your solution?

      Also, how vital are these heading tags on the product pages, anyways?

      If the Volusion SEO expert could chime in, that would be much appreciated.

      Thanks everyone!

        Has Volusion implemented this change yet? Will They?

          Hi Jason, the

          concern will be addressed with the release of Volusion's new theme engine. I expect this to be available this year, perhaps Q3. Along with this concern, the entire Volusion interface will be modernized and the new framework will enable unprecedented optimization options across categories and products. More information will be available soon.

          As for your 300+ pages of duplicate content, it's very unlikely this is an

          issue. Have you tried entering one of your URLs into a free service like copyscape.com ? This could help you identify what content is duplicate. Furthermore, If you'd like to provide your store, I'll take a look and get back to you ASAP with a recommendation.

          Regards,

          Nathan Joynt

            I just wanted to check in with this question and see if the latest versions of volusion now incorporate h1 automatically, or if i still need to go into the html on each page and add my h1's manually? Moz says i have over 300 pages of duplicate content, I think because there are no h1 tags with my new volusion store?

              Hi Paul, thank you for your patience. And thank you everyone else as well. I did get this entered into product for 2014. I do not know currently exact timing, although I will keep you posted.

                Any update on fixing this in Volusion?  It seems so simple just to wrap the page title in H1 rather than having users go through thousands of product pages and manually adding H1 titles to the descriptions.

                      Nathan,

                      Thanks for your response. The domain name is www.Oransi.com and I did use Tamara's advice, which worked for the most part. Certain variables came into play that I wasn't expecting, but overall that did fix my issue. However, if you could indeed suggest to the V13 product team about using product names as H1s, I believe your clientele would benefit indeed.

                      Thanks to everyone who helped here.

                        Hello,

                        Yes, Tamara is correct with her suggestion to include the

                        within the Description 'HTML Editor' area. I can talk with the V13 product team as well about the ability to treat the product name as the

                        . I like to use actual merchant examples in my product optimization requests. Would you mind telling me the domain so I can include it in the story?

                        Kind regards,

                        Nathan Joynt

                          Ah Volusion. Yes, we've run into this issue.  Unfortunately, you can't add an

                          around the logical spot for the product name (at the top of the page below the crumb trail)  So what we've done, and had very good results from in long tail / product-based search results, is to repeat the product name (sometimes with a bit of a keyword tweak) as the leading data in the product description area - where you do have control over the HTML.

                          Here's an example:  https://www.diigo.com/item/image/3y63p/5pnd?size=o

                          The CSS which styles the H1's was edited to match the product name display at the top of the page, for consistency.

                          In order to quickly implement this run of site for all products, we used the CONCAT function in Excel to append the tags, and generally used the "productname" value to populate the heading text, then appended the closing tag + the actual description, and then just inserted back into the db.

                          CAVEAT:  If you're pulling a product feed back out of Volusion, you'll want to strip the HTML out of that description, in order to not get wonky behavior in the CSE's (comparison shopping engines).

                          Hope that helps - if not, and there's anything else I can add - please let me know.

                          Cheers!

                            Should I optimize my home-page or a sub-page for my most important keyword

                            Quick question: When choosing the most important keyword set that I would like to rank for, would I be better off optimizing my homepage, or a sub page for this keyword. My thinking goes as follows: The homepage (IE www.mysite.com) naturally has more backlinks and thus a better Google Page Rank. However, there are certain things I could do to a subpage (IE www.mysite.com/green-widgets-los-angeles ) that I wouldn't want to do to the homepage, which might be more "optimal" overall. Option C, I suppose, would be to optimize both the homepage, and a single sub-page, which is seeming like a pretty good solution, but I have been told that having multiple pages optimized for the same keywords might "confuse" search engines. Would love any insight on this!

                            We have been adding our company (Townscript) name in all the page titles. For example, in an event page of Lucknow Conclave: www.townscript.com/lucknowconclave the page title is Lucknow Conclave | Alexis Society | Townscript I read somewhere that it's not necessary to put your company's name in the title tag. Is it right? Please help!

                            Pagination for product page reviews

                            Hi, I am looking to add pagination on product pages (they have lots of reviews on the page). I am considering using rel="next/prev, to connect the series of review pages to the main product page. I unfortunately don't have a view-all page for these reviews or the option to get one - the reviews refresh on the same product page (by clicking whatever number page of reviews). This means each page has the exact same description content and everything else, but with different reviews. In this case is rel=next a good option? The format currently would be: On example.com/product link rel="next" href="http://example.com/product?review-p2" On example.com/product?review-p2 link rel="prev" href="http://example.com/product, link rel="next" href="http://example.com/product?review-p3 etc. Would this be a good format for product page reviews? I see rel=nextprev commonly used on ecommerce category/list pages but not really on the paginated reviews on product pages, so I thought I would see if anyone has advice on how best to solve this. I'm also wondering if it would be best to not combine this with a canonical tag on all the different review pages pointing to the product page, seeing as the reviews are actually different (despite the rest of the content being identical). I am hoping to pick up longer tail traffic from this, I figure by connecting the pages and not using canonicals that this way I could get more traffic from the phrases used in the reviews. By leaving out the canonicals, is it possible a user searching for phrases that might be deeper in the series, to land on, say, ?review-p4? Any thoughts if this would drive more traffic? Thanks!.

                            Hello All, I am working on client website and currently they are targeting One Keywords for multi pages. As I have search with Allintitle: Search query and Google display around 37 pages of website which carry same keyword in "Title Tags". I have told to client to change the "Title Tags" but they want that keyword for all relevant pages. So I want to know is that harm in Search Engine Ranking? Note: They have not done the link building activities for multi pages with same Keyword, they are using only in "Title Tags" only

                            Can I place H1 tag anywhere on page

                            Hello, For those of you who use Magento you will know it is not SEO friendly. When you create a category or product, the name of the product or category then becomes the H1 tag.  We sell mens business shirts.  For example we have a product called 'White poplin classic fit' this is also the H1 tag, nobody is ever going to search for that term so I have had my developer create a new attribute that allows me to keep the product name as it is and let's me create a new SEO friendly H1 tag, for example 'White business shirt'  However, placing 'White business shirt' on the page to be visible by the visitor does not look good on the page. My question is.  Can I place the H1 tag anywhere on the page?  I have some tabs like below.  I am thinking of add a tab in between delivery and returns called more info and placing more seo keywords including the H1 tag in this tab. Will this be OK or will this be seen as black hat technique?
