Good links pratice for listing pages?
-
Hello,
I'm wondering which is the best way to handle this kindle of page...
You can have a look at my screen capture, or see directly my page here.
I've in my case, for the same "ski resort", 3 differents anchor link type (title, image and more info…), all of them are going on the same page.
I know it's not that good, my idea, it to keep only the more info like, but with a better anchor link, something like : more information about this ski resort...
Thanks in advance
Best regards

All juice goes to first link unless you # the link.
-
Thanks Richard!
I get it
Does Google divise the PR of my link if some are duplicate? That's why I want to clean up my page..

sorry, text is better. I would not remove any of them. It does not matter which one is clicked on so long as the visitor clicks. Google will only count the first link instance so make sure your anchor text (or image alt text) is using good keywords.
If you really want to see which one is performing, you can use a Google campaign in analytics to track. If you need that information, let me know.

Thanks Richard,
I'm not sure to fully understand, if I remove (in my case) the link on the image, and the title of the articles, and make a better "more info" link, it'll be better that what I've got no ?
-
Thanks Andy.
I'm checking that point...
-
Google only counts the first link instance so more info (if lower in the code) will not pass juice. The only way that I know to have all three links pass juice is to # the links.
-
There is something of a trade-off here. Whilst the search engines don't really like multiple links, you also have to look at which links most visitors click on.
Have you done a heat map of your pages to see which are the most popular links?
-
Thanks Andy.
I agree, I need to find a good text anchor, the "ski resort" will be remplaced with the name of the station.
But what do you think about to keep only one link? On my page, I've got 4 same link per station to the same page...
-
In these sort of circumstances, you want to make the anchor text as enticing as possible because you want someone to click on the link. Something like you said "More information about this Ski Resort" is OK, but is it a little bit long?
"View Ski Resort info"
"More on this Ski Resort"
"View this Ski resort"
Just a few ideas.
Regards,
Andy

Use Internal Search pages as Landing Pages?
Hi all Just a general discussion question about Internal Search pages and using them for SEO. I've been looking to "noindexing / follow" them, but a lot of the Search pages are actually driving significant traffic & revenue. I've over 9,000 search pages indexed that I was going to remove, but after reading this article (https://www.oncrawl.com/technical-seo/seo-internal-search-results/) I was wondering if any of you guys have had success using these pages for SEO, like with using auto-generated content. Or any success stories about using the "noindexing / follow"" too. Thanks!

Do you still loose 15% of value of inbound links when you redirect your site from http to https (so all inbound links to http are being redirected to https version)?
I know when you redesign your on website, you loose about 15% internally due to the 301 redirects (see moz article: https://moz.com/blog/accidental-seo-tests-how-301-redirects-are-likely-impacting-your-brand), but I'm wondering if that also applies to value of inbound links when you redirect your http://www.sitename.com to https://www.sitename.com. I appreciate your help!

On-Page Problem
Hello Mozzers, A friend has a business website and the on-page stuff is done really bad. He wants to rank for: conference room furnishing, video conference, digital signage. (Don't worry about the keywords, it's just made up for an example.) For these three services he has a page: hiswebsite.com/av AV stands for audio and video and is the h1. If you click on one of the service, the url doesn't change. Like if you click on video conference, just the text changes, the url stays /av. All his targeted pages got an F Grade, I am not surprised, the services titles are in . Wouldn't it be a lot better to make an own page for every service with a targeted keyword, like hiswebsite.com/video-conference All this stuff is on /av, how will a 301 resirect work to all the service pages, does this make sense? Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Many Pages Being Combined Into One Long Page
Hi All, In talking with my internal developers, UX, and design team there has been a big push to move from a "tabbed" page structure (where as each tab is it's own page) to combining everything into one long page. It looks great from a user experience standpoint, but I'm concerned that we'll decrease in rankings for the tabbed pages that will be going away, even with a 301 in place. I initially recommending#! or pushstate for each "page section" on the long form content. However there are technical limitations with this in our CMS. The next idea I had was to still leave those pages out there and to link to them in the source code, but this approach may get shot down as well. Has anyone else had to solve for this issue? If so, how did you do it?

Too many on-page links vs. UX issue
I am having an issue with many of our pages having too many on-page links. I have gotten many of them below the 100 page limit that is suggested and I understand this is not a critical factor with SEO, but my issue is this: Many important pages I am trying to optimize are buried at a "3rd" level which is actually not accessible from the home page navigation dropdown due to our outdated CMS. I am trying to decide if we should develop our site to display these pages on-hover from the main navigation. This would make a lot of sense since users would find these pages easier, however adding this functionality would increase on-page links by a lot more. So in your opinion, would it be worth it to spend the money to have this functionality developed? Or would it end up hurting our SEO standings?

Link juice distributed to too many pages. Will noindex,follow fix this?
We have an e-commerce store with around 4000 product pages. Although our domain authority is not very high (we launched our site in February and now have around 30 RD's) we did rank on lots of long tail terms, and generated around 8000 organic visits / month. Two weeks ago we added another 2000 products to our existing catalogue of 2000 products, and since then our organic traffic dropped significantly (more than 50%). My guess is that link juice has been distributed to too many pages, causing rankings to drop on overall. I'm thinking about noindexing 50% of the product pages (the ones not receiving any organic traffic). However, I am not sure if this will lead to more link juice for the remaining 50% of the product pages, or not. So my question is: if I noindex,follow page A, will 100% of the linkjuice go to page B INSTEAD of page A, or will just a part of the link juice flow to page B (after flowing through page A first)? Hope my question is clear 🙂 P.s. We have a Dutch store, so the traffic drop is not a Panda issue 🙂
