How to organize a Knowledge Center for best SEO?
-
Hi,
My Client is facing pushback from her company on separating assets into different pages (webinars, press releases, by-lines, etc) vs lumping them all together in one page.
We need to define the SEO benefits of doing this in an organized fashion vs one big lump.
Can you help?
Thanks,

Hi Lora,
Can you tell me a little more about what their plans are for separation? Their plans for categorisation could have a lot of benefits in terms of term-targeting, but I want to make sure I'm hitting on the right things, based on their plans.
In general, she need to conduct some keyword research into what people search for in terms of their content. If she finds that they are searching for a certain type of content (video, webinars, etc.), they need to segment those things so that they can develop a specific page tailored to the needs of the people searching for that content. Everything lumped together means that it's harder to optimise a page for every popular term. This is almost always best for SEO, rather than just dumping everything onto one page or onto paginated pages. You can essentially optimise "category" pages for each type of content you produce.
Is creating "category" type pages the sort of thing they're interested in doing, and are facing push-back on?
Cheers,
Jane

How to best handle search landing pages - that don't exist
I have quite a bit of blog information that can be searched, which results in "pages" that don't actually live anywhere. These are scanned by Moz and appear as poor page quality for speed, etc. How do I get the service to either ignore all of these or is there a way to treat them as a real page with content? As there are quite a few generated over time, I'd like to be able to capture them somehow. Thanks.

Best website IA/structure for SEO?
What's the current thinking on the best structure of information on a website for SEO? Structure for visitors can be best achieved through navigation menus, but I am more interested in how I should organise my URL structure so Google can make sense of the depth of my site topics. The website is an Asian travel blog so there are essentially two specific types of post on the site. One type is location specific (may be about an attraction, a city, a region or a country). The other type is general (usually about an aspect of travel like travel cash, visas, scams, etc). At the moment, all my general posts are organised like www.asiantraveltips.com/blog/[post-name]. My location-specific posts are organised like www.asiantraveltips.com/[country]/[region-or-city]/[place-name]/ so that Google can see I have depth of topics about each country and region. But I find it hard to keep consistency in this arrangement of URLs and I don't know if I might be better off to just have everything flat and tagged as a blog post like www.asiantraveltips.com/blog/[country]-[region-city]-[post-name]/? What's best practice these days? How are others organising travel blog websites?

Best way to nofollow affiliate links?
I don't "nofollow" affiliate links but I have quite a few. Doing them one by one would just be an impossible job. Would it be best to get a plugin that nofollows EVERYTHING? What would google prefer? I need to DOFOLLOW some links because those sites deserve it.

Left Nav / SEO
We are in the middle of a redesign and would love to get rid of our left navigation. It's currently full of SEO rich categories and has been the same for 10+ years. Our programmers think removing the left navigation will have no impact on our SEO. As SEO's, do you agree with this?
