How best to wrap anchor tags around a product tile
-
Hi
Say I am on a Product Listing page on ecommerce website and I have product tiles which contain images and name/price underneath them. Is it better to wrap the whole product tile (image and name/price) in an anchor tag (linking to their product page) or to wrap the image and the name/price underneath in anchor tags separately (linking to the product page) ?
thanks

To wrap anchor tags around a product, you'll typically want to create a hyperlink that, when clicked, leads to a page or resource related to the product

A possible answer to this issue could be:
"To effectively wrap anchor tags around a product tile, you should ensure that the anchor tag encloses the entire content of the product tile. This can be done by placing the opening <a> tag at the start of the product tile and the closing </a> tag at the end of it. Here’s a step-by-step approach:
Start with the opening anchor tag before any of the product tile content. Add the href attribute to the anchor tag with the URL you want the user to be directed to when they click the product tile.
Ensure that the anchor tag has display block (display: block;) style applied to it, so it takes up the full tile space. This is important for making the whole area clickable.
Place all the HTML that makes up the product tile between the opening and closing anchor tags. This includes the image, product title, price, and any other information you wish to display.
Close the anchor tag after all the product tile content.
Remember to style the anchor tag to remove any default styling like underlines (text-decoration: none;) and ensure it inherits text colors (color: inherit;), so it blends seamlessly with your product tile design.Test the implementation across different browsers and devices to ensure the clickable area covers the entire tile consistently."
By wrapping the entire tile in an anchor tag and ensuring the tag is displayed as a block-level element, users will be able to click anywhere on the tile to navigate to the product's detail page.

To wrap anchor tags around a product tile effectively:
Use a parent container for the product tile.
Place the anchor tag within the container.
Ensure the anchor tag covers the entire product tile for accessibility.
Set the anchor's href attribute to the product's page URL.
This approach allows users to click anywhere on the product tile to access more details, improving user experience. -
It's generally better to wrap the whole product tile, including the image and name/price, in a single anchor tag. This approach provides a larger clickable area for users, improving the overall user experience and making it easier for them to access the product details.

Hi,
In most cases, it's better to wrap the whole product tile (image and name/price) in a single anchor tag linking to the product page. This approach provides a larger clickable area and offers a better user experience, as visitors can click anywhere within the tile to access the product details. It simplifies navigation and ensures consistency in user expectations when interacting with product listings on an e-commerce website.

Managing removed product pages
Hello everyone, I am turning to the community for your advice regarding the optimal management of product pages that are removed after an article is sold. Considering that we operate with unique articles on our site and consequently do not have large quantities in stock, the product pages are intended to be removed once the article is sold. My question is: from an SEO point of view, what would be the most effective strategy to manage these pages? Is it preferable to apply a permanent redirect (301) to the product category, or would it be better to use the status code 410 to indicate that the page has been permanently removed?

Requiring customer agree to shipping terms at checkout
I work for an ecommerce company that has many of its shipments go by LTL freight. Our customer service team has issues with a few customers per month that aren't equipped to receive freight shipments which leads to returns and other issues. In an effort to better inform our customers, the customer service team is requesting that we add a checkbox to the checkout that requires customers to agree to our shipping and returns policy, including a link to the policy page. I am wondering how concerned people here would be that requiring the customer to check a box agreeing to those terms would lead to more customers abandoning during the checkout process. Or do you think it's not a concern? Thanks for your thoughts.

Competitor scraped ecommerce product overview
I noticed by chance that the competitor of an ecommerce client has completely copied one of their product overviews, which is around 500 words in total. The site does not outrank my client, but could the scraped content be harmful in any other way? There are no links included within the text so there's no advantage in that sense. Is Google's algorithm intuitive enough to figure out where the original content came from and attribute it to my client, or is there still the possibility that it could have a negative affect as duplicate content? Any insights and suggestions much appreciated.

Hello folks, I'm new to SEOmoz . I was looking at our Crawl Diagnostics and found that some of our blog posts that have been commented on were tagged as duplicate content. For example: http://thankyouregistry.com/blog/remarriages-and-gift-registries/ http://thankyouregistry.com/blog/remarriages-and-gift-registries/comment-page-1/ I'm unsure how to fix these, so any ideas would be appreciated.

What is the best out-of-the-box optimized WordPress Theme?
I've reviewed other answers on this forum and searched the web. Still looking for a good answer that's actually specific and can explain why. I've looked at studiopress.com themes, pagelines.com which I love but doesn't appear to have much optimization out of the box, http://themeforest.net/item/udesign-wordpress-theme/253220 http://www.vklabx.com/wordpress-themes/wordpress-theme-ad-flex-niche.php PS - not looking for answers that involve the use of SEO plugins, but if there's a theme you know of that takes minimal editing to improve optimization I'd be interested as well. Thanks in advance, hope this can help someone else as well

Title tag - shorter = better?
Is it true that the shorter the Title tag is the more powerful the keywords in it are?
On-Page Optimization | | echo1
I know that the main keywords have to be at the beginning of the title but, having more words in your Title could dilute the effectiveness of your main keywords? Ex: Dallas limo service | Private car by SelectLimousine. Could the fact that I have a second part of my title affect the first part by diluting its value? I would like to rank first for Dallas car service but also for Dallas car service and Dallas limousine service. Is this good practice?0
