What content is apropriate here
-
Hello,
I've got a dozen good articles in my article section, but nobody is landing on them. Should we write articles about our products? Won't that compete with our product pages?
-
Wow EGOL, very nice answer. I'll implement everything you said.
-
I write articles for my products and don't care if they outrank my product pages. You can place house ads on your article pages that lead to a purchase page... you can also place buy buttons on an article page so that people can buy after your article inspires them.
Often my article page and product page take positions #1 and #2 in the SERPs..
If you have an article that inspires purchases you might sell more than people landing on a product page. And, if you can have strong calls to action on an article page it can generate lots of sales.
Lots of people buy football apparel at stadiums at very high prices. That is because they get a good feeling about football while watching the game. If your article can do that for your product then you might make some nice sales. The higher the value of the goods the stronger this relationship might be.
In lots of SERPs it is easier to compete with an article page than it is with a product page.
-
Just add more content to the product pages then.
If you have your site layout right, a review page shouldn't conflict with a product page... if anything it should promote it and funnel in better qualified leads.
-
That's what we do, still no traffic to articles.
People want the products. Is adding unique content important for rankings here, and will reviews of products compete with our own product pages?
-
where? In general, you should write about things that people are searching for.
Cool general tip though: Go to industry related forums > newbie section > read some of the questions being posted and write up some awesome articles answering those questions.

What to do about resellers duplicating content?
Just went through a big redevelopment for a client and now have fresh images and updated content but now all the resellers have just grabbed the new images/content and pasted them on their own site. My client is a manufacture that sells directly online and over the phone for large orders. I'm just not sure how to handle the resellers duplicate content. Any thoughts on this? Am I being silly for worrying about this?

Why do I hear that it can be a bad thing to have too many content pages?
My site has lots of long tail opportunity and so intention is to produce as much content as possible to target these keywords effectively. However, over the last 6 months I have come across numerous sources suggesting that Google can/does look down on a site having too many content pages. Is there any truth in this? Thanks.

Issue: Duplicate Page Content
For duplicate page content, how different should pages be? For example, I have seven locations and on each location page, we offer a discount. The discounts are the same currently and open into a pop-up window. So it looks something like this: mysite.com/locationA/dicount mysite.com/locationB/discount mysite.com/locationX/discount The pages are identical. Should I change the verbiage on each page or let it be? I noticed that our organic search rankings have dropped since our site upgrade and this is one item that SEOMOZ has noted. Thanks! DHO

Cross Domain Duplicate Content
Hi My client has a series of websies, one main website and several mini websites, articles are created and published daily and weekly, one will go on a the main website and the others on one, two, or three of the mini sites. To combat duplication, i only ever allow one article to be indexed (apply noindex to articles that i don't wanted indexed by google, so, if 3 sites have same article, 2 sites will have noindex tag added to head). I am not completely sure if this is ok, and whether there are any negative affects, apart from the articles tagged as noindex not being indexed. Are there any obvious issues? I am aware of the canonical link rel tag, and know that this can be used on the same domain, but can it be used cross domain, in place of the noindex tag? If so, is it exactly the same in structure as the 'same domain' canonical link rel tag? Thanks Matt

Duplicate Content Question
On the home page of my site I have a read more link that takes you to a different URL with basically the same content, just more of it. Home Page: http://www.opwdecks.com/ Read More Link on Home Page: http://www.opwdecks.com/deckmaintain.htm I think this may be affecting my seo. Any suggestions on what I should do about this? Should I add a canonical to the home page and/or on the other page? Both pages are indexed by google. Thanks for any help or tips.
