Is this a good website design for attracting google and readers
-
hi, we are looking at re-doing our website and would like to know if this site is a good example of attracting traffic and google. what i mean is, they only have the title of stories and not much content, please take a look and let me know if we can learn any lessons from this site or if they should be adding more content

so if u had a news site would u go the way the sun does by having an introduction with a picture or would u reduce the pictures and go with headline titles instead

I think some of the same still applies - it depends on how competitive your keywords and industry are, how frequently you update your content, blogs, etc. Also, the main page has a lot of links which isn't unusual for many website. If you click through, the pages have deeper content.
For my industry I wouldn't do this set up as my terms are more competitive and subject matter is very different. But my site is very product/sales specific, not news-like or gossip like the one you mentioned. Google has very different expectations for those types of sites. If you have a newsy site then I could see the appeal but if you don't then I wouldn't recommend it.

will be having a long read of your link thank you
-
sorry i did not make myself clear, what i mean is, content is king and google will come back to your site if you have new content, so what i am trying to say is, if you have a site where you are only showing the titles showing, then surely this is not enough content for google to see changes.
I like the way it is set out as i always read this site but on a technical side i am just wondering if it works in googles favour or not in terms of seo

Nice to meet you, too! Yes, amazing timing for Rand to share this resource
-
Great answer Andrea! Diane, Rand talked about exactly this concept during his Mozcation presentation Wednesday (nice meeting you there Andrea). What works for one site may not work for another. Use this as a resource to get some ideas as to what to test, but then test and see if it works for you.

You know, it's hard to say because it could be apples to oranges of what your site is about and what that site you shared the link to is about. You have to design for your audience and fashion/manufacturing/educational/travel, etc. all have totally different sets of user expectations.
Rather than compare yourself to one site to mimic it, it may be worth looking at UX data and CRO tips and other factors to help determine what to do: http://unbounce.com/conversion-rate-optimization/544-conversion-rate-optimization-tips/

How to make new content Indexed faster by google
I would like to know what can I do. Normally it takes google around 3 days to index my content. I got a site map, swiched the crawling rate to the fastest in my webmaster tools. I also tried crawling my homepage as google bot and sending it to the index with all linked pages but even if I do so my content takes around 3 days if not more to get indexed. I publish around 20 posts a week. My SEOmoz page authority is 48. Some sites of my competition seem to be getting their content indexed in the same day. What else can be done?

Using Google Blogger
Hi, On my website I have a specific blog section, which like most people is linked to Wordpress. I have been advised that to achieve better SEO its also a good idea to use Google Blogger, because it will link back to your website from Google. Obviously we don't want to submit the same articles to Google blogger or else that would be duplicated, but is this something that could benefit and is anyone else doing this? Thanks!

Is putting introduction to new stories on the front page a good idea
Hi, i am trying to find out if i should be putting all the introduction to new stories on the front page of my magazine www.in2town.co.uk. I am not sure if to just put certain stories on the home page or if it would be better for seo reasons to put everything on the front page for the search engines to pick it up quickly. so for example, all health stories, all news stories and all lifestyle stories that have their own section, should i make sure that they all appear on the home page as an introduction. Or should i have them kept in their own section please do let me know

About Google Instant Preview
Hi all, Please, I have a doubt about how Google Instant Preview works. My website is www.emagister.com, it’s a Spanish website and our servers are here in Spain (for the Spanish version of course) Sometimes, in some URLs appears Google Instant Preview image with the preview of my website that advises users that they could visit USA or German version of my Website while they visit the Spanish version www.emagister.com. Even though they stayed in German or USA…. Sometimes in the Instant Preview image it shows that they could visit the version in German or American even though the user is in Spain. Then when I click on the link, the text does not show up. Emagister gets 12 version (each country we have). I attached screen-shoot. I don’t understand how it works, cause I’m in Spain, I visit my Spanish version and I see Istant Preview with this message…it happens just with a couple of URLs: Just two examples: http://www.emagister.com/cursos-nutricion-tematica-175_1.htm http://www.emagister.com/cursos-ensenanza-tematica-600_1.htm Thank in advance for your help, Best regards, Francesca Nuvola
