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

What is the best way to show content in Listing Pages?
If it is e-commerce site and a product listing page there is always a conflict how to show the content? As per my understanding we can show content in two different ways. 1. To show little content and use **Read more. (**In this case there is a direct message to the google: Here is the content visible and rest content is hidden but available for visitors to read more 2. Can use** Scroll bar**. So here is the message to Google and visitors that my full content is available here. So just scroll down to read further. So I want to know that which method of showing content is best and it's impact of SEO where there is UI constraint or both the method is ok without any SEO impact. Please share your suggestions.

Page feedback
We recently wrote a new website page to cover the direct mail services our organization offers. We kept the title tag to 70 characters, the meta description under 150 characters. H1 tag has what we feel is the most important term. If anyone out there has time to review & provide a little feedback, we'd really appreciate it. It would be great to know if it is built well and providing a solid end user experience. http://www.cushingco.com/print_products/additional_services/direct_mail.shtml At the moment, the only links pointing to this page are from our blog. One bit of content I am contemplating is a short paragraph - What is Direct Mail Marketing? Literally providing a short definition of it. The page was activated last Thursday and showing up in some Google results on the 4th/5th page but I am thinking this is probably just a temporary bump for now. Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice!!!

How can I prevent duplicate content between www.page.com/ and www.page.com
SEOMoz's recent crawl showed me that I had an error for duplicate content and duplicate page titles. This is a problem because it found the same page twice because of a '/' on the end of one url. e.g. www.page.com/ vs. www.page.com My question is do I need to be concerned about this. And is there anything I should put in my htaccess file to prevent this happening. Thanks!

I have a site that has both http:// and https:// versions indexed, e.g. https://www.homepage.com/ and http://www.homepage.com/. How do I de-index the https// versions without losing the link juice that is going to the https://homepage.com/ pages?
I can't 301 https// to http:// since there are some form pages that need to be https:// The site has 20,000 + pages so individually 301ing each page would be a nightmare. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
