    I know there has been a lot of discussion lately about FAQs pages and I'm wondering when and if they are still warranted useful and what if they have positive or negative effects on page rankings. Regards, John Brown

      Thanks for asking this question - it reminded me that I still have to do this.

      QUESTION: Does it have to be called FAQ? or can it be called something else that has more to do with the keywords of the site to be effective?

        Hello! First of all, FAQs pages are quite helpful for your customers to answer even unasked questions. Secondly, if you add some keywords or phrases there, your site will be ranked much better.

        Best regards,
        Mark Black.

          Are you using FAQ schema? If you are then I would say yes - purely from a users perspective. As these questions are displayed in your search engine results and are a good prompt for clicks and extra information for the user.

            I think that FAQ pages are very useful for SEO, especially for the Voice Search strategy. FAQ pages are often written in a conversational language, which can help us match the Voice Search intent.

            What's more, many people include FAQ sections in their posts or product pages. They first describe their products and then answer the frequent questions. I think it is very helpful for users and SEO.

              I think in any case they have a positive effect. I recently had to sign up for one online store site and I did not find the registration buttons. Sounds weird but it's really like that! Since I work in a writer in professional writing, I do not have time to learn other sites for registration. It would be great if organizational issues were made in FAQ.

                The quick and dirty answer is yes, but only if they are of use to users. I saw pages on a former employers site do very well even though they were not a part of the main site. It all depends on what the content is and why you are putting it up.

                  Blockquote, q, cite, when to use it all?

                  I'm asking this question with the full recognition that the issue may be a little contentious and possibly unresolved, but I would like the opinions of those here anyway. When I quote another article in mine I always use either blockquote or q. (q is an inline version of blockquote). But I recently learned you can add a cite attribution to those tags. Like so: I have a dream... or
                  <q cite="www.example.com">He who doesn't ask himself...</q> But these links don't show up anywhere, only in the code. To be as ethical as possible, I also put in an anchor link. That also is my first concern. Can putting the same link twice essentially right next to one another cause issues? To add to the complexity, I've also been researching the <cite>tag. And it's history is a little... well... rocky. It seems as though the current standard is to use either blockquote or q and then add in cite as a footer to it. Like this:</cite> They seemed to think that the greatness of their masters was transferable to themselves. It was considered as being bad enough to be a slave; but to be a poor man's slave was deemed a disgrace indeed! <footer>Douglass, F. (1999). <cite>[The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass]([link to book (or article where appropriate)])</cite>. Oxford: Oxford University Press,</footer> Notice the cite tag is only around the link to the item in question. Not the entire footer. Also note that the footer is inside the blockquote, thus it is not meant to be at the bottom of the page. So IF this is the standard way to do things, it answers my first question. But is it? And can the use of the footer tag confuse search engines? Ugh, crazy all over the place question, I know. But I'm struggling to find the right way to handle quotations in a way that is both academic, and SEO friendly. Start from the beginning if you must. 🙂

                  How do I fix a broken link to a product category page in wordpress?

                  We are building a new site currently at http://67.222.109.48/~cheapnan/ I started doing some SEO after the developer I hired failed to do it even though it was in the agreement. I did our old site so I should be able to do this but I am new to wordpress. Now when i go to the products tab at the top of the page the first 2 have broken links, I checked the rest and there are 3 total that I need to fix.  I am unsure how to access the navigation so I can fix the links.  Please tell me where to look.

                  Why is redirecting all broken pages to the homepage is a bad idea?

                  I have a site where all broken pages are redirected to the homepage. I've been told that it's a bad idea in terms of SEO. I just can't figure out why 🙂

                  How do I redirect a page that no longer exists?

                  I changed the name of a blog article I wrote and the original name is giving a 404 error. I am not sure why it isn't being directed like the other articles I renamed to improve SEO. Since the webpage no longer exists, I don't know how to redirect it. I use Wordpress and Thesis. Thanks!

                  Author Rank - Using the brand as the author

                  Hi i'm building a new site and want to start building up author rank right from the start. If you are building author rank for a brand, do you think its fine to use the brand as the actual author of the content, instead of a actual person? Or using a stage name rather then a persons actual name, and have your writers write under that particular stage name? Would love to hear peoples opinions. Cheers, Mark

                  My WebSite has two sections with overlapping, or redundant articles on the same topics. Google is only listing one or the other article in Search Results. What should I do to have both pages (similiar but unique content ) to be listed?
