B2b services site, deep long tail services or flat and broad
-
Hi all,
i have a small internet agency with services in several area's.
Currently i structud my services in 2 different area's.
General services and specialized products with services underneath.like so:
domain.com/services
domain.com/services/service1
domain.com/services/service2
and so on.domain.com/product
domain.com/product/service1
domain.com/product/service2domain.com/product2
domain.com/product2/service1
domain.com/product2/service2But now im thinking of create loads of different services i provide,
there are some overlapping content of course, but all services are still individual.
But i can write a lot of unique content about all the services.But is it smarter to make just a few big pages with the services more bundled.
Or really long tail.Now i have around 15 services pages.
when i make it a lot deeper im talking about 40 pages.Currently my complete website is around 35 pages.

If you create those pages individually then to me it would seem that magento is not responsive or custom and responsive is not custom or magento.
To me it clearly seems that it's just sections of one page and that's how i'd recommend to do it.
-
Maybe to clarify a few things. For example
i have a service
Webshop developmentbut i also want to target on
Magento webshop development
Responsive webshop development
Custom webshop developmentSo yeah they are very similar, but all have a very specific end-goal.
When i have those words on h2, h3 element on the site with around 200 words about it beneath that i notice that im not ranking nearly enough then when creating all separate pages.But im afraid i will go overboard, of course the user still needs to find it value-able

Hi.
But now im thinking of create loads of different services i provide,
there are some overlapping content of course, but all services are still individual.
But i can write a lot of unique content about all the services.Is it truly gonna be unique? Or unique will mean has words' order is changed and city names gonna be different? It's all about user experience nowadays, my friend. Everything has to make sense.
Here is a whiteboard friday you can refer to: https://moz.com/blog/pinpoint-vs-floodlight-content-and-keyword-research-strategies-whiteboard-friday
Basically, don't create extra pages just for extra pages. If every page has something unique to offer - go ahead. Also think about if those "unique services" are actually main services. If you have some kinda product which brings 0.5% of your revenue and is supportive service, then why even waste time on trying to rank for it and dilute the "theme" of the website.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I think in this instance you will have to do a ROI investigation into your site and determine whether ranking for your long-tail keywords will generate the same kinds of conversions and income that ranking generally will.
For example, you obviously know long-tails are easier to rank for while generals have more potential traffic. If you can rank for your big keywords, you stand to bring more people to your site. That being said, are they equally likely to convert?
The big factor here is to determine what keywords suggest the greatest customer interest in purchase, and using those as your targeted keywords. If you can bring in big numbers of highly-targeted customers, that is ideal, but chances are that isn't the case. Given these are b2b services, you are probably less concerned with rankings and more concerned with marketing to clients through other means, so general keywords might be the way to go (unless your clients are very niche-specific).
I would try to find the happy middle-zone of numbers and high-payment potential.
Best of luck moving forward!

Would it be smart to have 2 different blogs on our site?
I run Wick Video - where we make animated videos for businesses. We are toying around with making blog/video content geared toward marketers, _and _creating blogs/tutorials geared toward designers and animators. Since it's two totally different groups, we've had the idea of making two separate blogs. Is that a good idea? Any websites currently doing this well?

Is there a way to automate finding low quality content on your site?
Hi all, I have a site that was once #1 for many keywords. Fast forward a number of years and I am sinking lower and lower and it really started to sink low from September 2012 and appears to be due to an algo update. How should I go about finding my low quality pages? I am told that I might have pages bringing my entire site down. I deleted heaps of low quality pages but not seeing any improvements (might be a little impatient). Any tips for finding bad content?

I allow authority sites to republish my blog articles, which then outrank me
Hey everyone. This is my first question here, I apologize if it has been covered before. I have a health and nutrition blog [authority nutrition] that has been up since December 1st, 2012. I've managed to write quite a few viral articles which have given me a bunch of natural links and a domain authority of 49, which I think is pretty great for such a new site. Haven't done any link building and everything is 100% white hat. Getting good rankings and good traffic already, so I can't complain. My only (1st world) problem is that sometimes major authority sites (DA of 70-95) republish my content. I always say yes if they ask me first, but some of them just republish without even asking. My articles are always indexed on my blog before they get republished, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. These sites always clearly link to the original URL, but they often tend to outrank me for the keywords I was targeting in the articles. They tend to rank in the top 5, but my original article is nowhere to be found. I plan on continuing to allow these sites to republish as I get powerful links and good traffic from them, but it's a bit frustrating that I don't seem to get the credit as the original source. I've already set up Google Authorship, but it doesn't seem to help. Is there anything I can do to make sure Google recognizes my article as the original and chooses to rank my site instead of the authority site that simply republished my article?

Will our two retail sites get hit with duplicate content?
Our retail site just rolled out a second online store. The URL is new and it is showing some of the same products from the same vendors (probably about 40% of the fist store is in the second store). Down the road, we will remove the products from the first site, however, we are keeping it for now. The products show up on both sites, with the same images, and the same descriptions and almost the same URL query string. Are we going to get hit with any penalties due to duplicate content?

Blog and Website = 2 different URL's - Is it WORTH to merge content on to one site
Good day Mozzers! A friend of mine recently asked for my help in regards to online marketing. While getting familiar with his online presence, I realized that he has a blog hosted under a completely different URL Main Site = http://pardons.org/ (page rank 4)
Content Development | | vip4service
Blog = http://pardons.wordpress.com/ (page rank 3) What I am battling with is whether or not he should take all of the blog content he has, and merge it on to his main site. It has over 280+ blog posts spanning over a few years, so there is A LOT of content that could benefit his main site. However is it worth it, or should he continue to run everything as 2 different sites? Also, of you suggest moving the content over, what would be the best way to do it in your opinion? He currently has links on his blog TO his main site, so there is a little bit of link juice there, but with a average of 300 views a day, he only get about 10 clicks to his main site from the blog. Thanks a ton for your help!0 -
