Writing on the web, what is recommended
-
Hello,
I was wondering what is best in term of SEO when writing on the web.
Between those 2 sentences for example what is best to use
1)You are going to ride your bicycle to the town of Obernai.
- Today, your bicycle ride takes you to Obernai.
-
Do you consider the 2 nd being best because the subject is "your bicycle ride" instead of "you" ?
I am actually targeting "alsace bike tours" as a sentence but this sentence is part of the highlights of my tour.
Maybe in that case it is better to write "Today, your bike tour takes you to Obernai." or doesn't it matter ?
Thank you,

I personally find the second much easier to digest and read. As such I would personally adopt that due to being a better experience for the user. However, both should just about cover your needs, as per Kevin I think it depends what you are targeting as a phrase for SEO.
-
What is your target term? Regarding SEO, if your target term is "bicycle ride Obernai" then probably the second sentence.

User Intent - Office Chairs & Content Writing
Hi I'm trying to look for ideas for content on office chairs. Any ideas on where to start with user intent for this type of search query? I'm using answer the public to gather some ideas. Some are good ideas, but I can't actually find any search volume for the phrase so then I'm unsure whether to devote time to writing something. Surely most people want to just find a supplier, buy the chair & they don't want a huge informational piece how to buy a chair. Our competitors are the likes of amazon, and a load of other huge companies with high DA - so I'm looking at types of content we can write, people are interested in reading about chairs, which is less competitive..I'm not sure that exists... Any help is appreciated 🙂

Any excellent recommendations for a sitemap.xml plugin?

Flat vs. subdomain web structure
I am building a site which sells a product in 50 states and in each state we will have independt partners. From an SEO perspective, what are the tradeoffs in using a single domain vs. having each state a subdomain? Each state also has varying regulatory issues that are specific to that state.

New web site - 404 and 301
Hello, I have spent a lot of times on the forum trying to make sure how to deal with my client situation. I will tell you my understanding of the strategy to apply and I would appreciate if you could tell me if the strategy will be okay. CONTEXT I am working on a project where our client wants to replace its current web site with a new one. The current web site has at least 100 000 pages. The new web site will replace all the existing pages of the current site. What I have heard for the strategy the client wants to adopt is to 404 each pages and to 301 redirect each page. Every page would be redirect to a page that make sense in the new web site. But after reading other answers and reading the following comment, I am starting to be concerned: '(4) Be careful with a massive number of 301s. I would not 301 100s of pages at once. There's some evidence Google may view this as aggressive PR sculpting and devalue those 301s. In that case, I'd 301 selectively (based on page authority and back-links) and 404 the rest.' I have also read about performance issue ... QUESTION So, if we suppose that we can manage to map each of the old site pages to a page in the new web site, is a problem to do it? Do you see a performance issue or devaluation potential issue? If it is a problem, please comment the strategy I might considere to suggest: Identify the pages for which I gain links From that group, identify the pages, that gives me most of my juice 301 redirect them and for the other, create a real great 404 ... Thanks ! Nancy
