    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!

                        BMT

                          Multiple H1 tags on Squarespace blog page?

                          Hi All, I use Squarespace and while running my site (https://www.growmassagebusiness.com) through programs am seeing that my blog posts are being seen as one page with multiple H1 tags. I read through the SS help desk and found back in 2015 someone wrote that it's not a bit deal b/c of HTML5 and that the search engines will read each blog post as a sub-page. I'm not so sure about that and wondering what the experts think? If that is screwy then I'm considering possibly making each blog post it's own page rather than using their blog posting format.

                          Product content length & links within product description

                          Hello, I have questions regarding content length and links within descriptions.  With our ecommerce site, we have thousands of products, each with a unique description. In the product description, I have links to the parent category and grandparent category (if it has one) in the main product text which is generally about 175 words. Then I have a last paragraph that's about 75 words that includes links to our main homepage and our main product catalogue page. Is the content length long enough? I used to use text that was 500 words, and shortening it I still rank when launching new products, so I don't think an increase in text length will have any additional benefit. I do see conflicting information when I do searches, with some people recommending a minimum of 300 words and some saying to try and go a 1000 for category pages. In regards to the links, I noticed a competitor has stopped following this format, so I'm unsure if I should keep going too. Is it too many links to have each of the products link back to the main catalogue and homepage? Is it good to have links with anchor text to the categories a product is in? There are breadcrumbs on the page with these links already. There are already have heaps of links on our pages (footer, and a right sidebar with image links to relevant categories), so my pages do get flagged for too many links. Thanks!

                          How do you make product pages unique when there are thousands of products?

                          When an ecommerce site has 200 product pages, this is fine. It's time consuming, but I can write 200 unique paragraphs describing the product and it's not an insane amount of work for one person. But when there are 10,000+ product pages... what is the best way for one person to go about this? Risk the page being thin and just bullet point a couple of "need-to-know" info bits, or take the time to prioritise what products could benefit the most from the unique content and get cracking with a paragraph for each? Or do you just forego having truly unique copy on each product page and just aim to optimise the category pages for the longtail? Just wondering how you guys deal with thousands of product pages really. Starting to feel as if I should re-evaluate my strategy and wanted to get some idea on what others are doing... Notes: Product pages already have reviews, helps with adding more unique user-generated content to each page. There's dynamic content e.g. "You may be interested in...", "Related products", etc.

                          Link in H1 tag?

                          Hi guys, We're working through a redesign of our product page and are considering the following: http://screencast.com/t/NBSsDGA9vgS3 Currently the product name (including the brand name - Arc'teryx) in this case is included in the H1 and none of the title is linked.  You can see this here:  http://www.evo.com/synthetic-jackets/arcteryx-atom-lt-hoodie-womens.aspx The firm we're working with is proposing keeping the entire title in the H1 but linking the brand name to the entire brand assortment.  My concern is that the brand name is a critical part of the product title and should be text (not a link).  Any suggestions? Thanks!

                          Hello...I have written a bunch of content for my site using a useful tool called Scribe SEO which recommends keyword density at 5% if I remember correctly. So all my my newly written content is below this level but I am left wondering if by adding alt tags with my chosen keywords I will be considered to be over the limit and cause a red flag? Can anyone clarify this for me please?

                          How to handle Meta Tags on Pagination... page 2,3,4....

                          Seems that SEOMoz reports are considering my paginated pages as duplicate Meta Tags. For example, I have a product catalog with 5 paginated pages. Obviously the content on each page is unique and the URL ends in =4, =5 for the page number, but the Title and Description are the same for all the pages. Any suggestions on how to handle this? The pages other than page 1 are not indexed, so it should not be a big deal. But wondering if I should programatically ad the page number to the additional pages to show a difference?

                          Would it be bad to change the canonical URL to the most recent page that has duplicate content, or should we just 301 redirect to the new page?

                          Is it bad to change the canonical URL in the tag, meaning does it lose it's stats? If we add a new page that may have duplicate content, but we want that page to be indexed over the older pages, should we just change the canonical page or redirect from the original canonical page? Thanks so much! -Amy
