Search optimal Tab structure?
-
Good day,
We are in the process of starting a website redesign/development.
We will likely be employing a tabbing structure on our home page and would like to be able to capitalize on the keyword content found across the various tabs.
The tab structure will be similar to how this site achieves tabs: http://ugmo.com/
I've uploaded a screen grab of this page as the Googlebot user agent. The text "Soil Intelligence for professional Turf Managers" clicks through to this page: http://ugmo.com/?quicktabs_1=1#quicktabs-1
So I'm thinking there could be some keyword dilution there. That said Google is very much aware of the text on the quicktabs-1 page being related to the home page content: http://www.google.com/search?q=Up+your+game+with+precise+soil+moisture%2C+salinity+and+temperature+measurements.+And+in+the+process%2C+save+water%2C+resources%2C+money.+inurl%3Augmo.com&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe=
Is this the best search optimal way to add keyword density on a home page with a tab structure? Or is there a better means of achieving this?

I'm pretty sure that's what's happening.
So mendely.com is a book mark approach to tabs, as opposed to the javascript ? variable and then bookmark approach here: http://ugmo.com/?quicktabs_1=1#quicktabs-1
I can see how the content is all on the page.
Is there any dilution with the bookmark approach? To what extent is http://www.mendeley.com/#mobile different than http://www.mendeley.com/ ?
-
is that then not just loading eveything onto 1 url and using javascript to hide the tab 2 & 3 content till someone hits it?
or something like this http://www.mendeley.com/ click on the overview, features, discover research and ipad tabs - all that content is on the page
-
Not exactly, I'm saying each tab will have a set of keywords on them and we'd like those keywords to be accessible to spiders in an optimal manner. So let's say I have
Tab 1 - keyword copy 1
Tab 2 - keyword copy 2
Tab 3 - keyword copy 3
I want to make sure keyword copy 2 & 3 are providing keyword goodness for the home page.
Does that make sense?

Not sure if I understand your point correctly. Are you saying you will be dynamically feeding keywords on the pages with tabs?

Do you need a canonical tag for search and filter pages?
Hi Moz Community, We've been implementing new canonical tags for our category pages but I have a question about pages that are found via search and our filtering options. Would we still need a canonical tag for pages that show up in search + a filter option if it only lists one page of items? Example below. www.uncommongoods.com/search.html/find/?q=dog&exclusive=1 Thanks!

Rebranding and New Domain Effects on Search Traffic
If we are to change our branding and set up a new domain name to match that branding, we will need to set up redirects for all URLs. The new website would exactly match the old. Using HTACCESS we can redirect all URLs fairly easily. Will this exercise cause use to lose authority?

The search button on my site no longer works. Any fixes?
I have a wordpress site (can be found at theFlooringGirl.com). On all the pages, there is a search button so you can search for words on the site, but it no longer seems to work. My original webdesigner put it in, and I can't seem where to find it/where to edit/fix it. I finally found something that mentions "search" in the widget section and it is in the tool bar, but I can't find where/how to edit/fix it. BTW, I do have two other smaller sites that have this button and it still works there...so if I could find where to edit, I could theoretically copy and paste the code...if I knew where). Any advice? Thx.

Why is an error page showing when searching our website using Google "site:" search function?
When I search our company website using the Google site search function "site:jwsuretybonds.com", a 400 Bad Request page is at the top of the listed pages. I had someone else at our company do the same site search and the 400 Bad Request did not appear. Is there a reason this is happening, and are there any ramifications to it?

Mobile site ranking in desktop searches
A robots.txt file is properly implemented on the mobile site to block Googlebot from crawling, yet, when running a site: query for the site in google, it still returns over 104,000 pages from the mobile site in the index. Why could this be happening?
