What's better for SEO a page per review or a page with all reviews?
-
Was wondering what's better for SEO. We have a platform where consumers can read and write reviews. But the question is: is it better to give one page per company with all the reviews on it? Or should we have different pages for the specific company?
Example:
Itunes has a company page with all reviews on the page, but not the whole review. You have to click further to view the whole review (new page), at the moment this the current situation.
What if we place the whole reviews on the company page, so you don't have specific pages for the reviews?
Hopefully can someone help us out. Contact me if it's not clear or you want more extended information.
Kind regards

I hear actually two different reactions, still wondering what's better for SEO. Someone who can help us out?

Looking forward to other thoughts I finished analyzing two big competitors, they all put the content on one big page instead of review per review on separate pages. Can't rationalize the better rankings.

Thanks Olega, but we don't feature reviews in a webshop or business page but we have a portal like TrustPilot where consumers share reviews about tons of companies.

Thanks Dave! Just to be sure: the option to see the full review, is it on the same page or a new page?
So is it site.com/companyXYZ and there all reviews OR site.com/companyXYZ/thisismyreview (and that for hundreds of reviews of company XYZ) -
Was wondering what's better for SEO.
Unless you are trying to rank for your reviews page, it would make more sense to include the content on the related services page. e.g. if you have multiple reviews/testimonials that mention specific services, try to place them on the most relevant pages. This would boost the relevance and add more unique content to the pages you actually want to drive traffic to.
What I would be more concerned with is user experience... where would visitors be most likely to see and be persuaded by your reviews? That would depend on your business and website layout.

I would say a page with review snippets with a more option to see the full review.
More relevant content, more pages, more ranking

On page link question, creating an additional 'county' layer between states and zips/cities
Question We have a large site that has a page for all 50 states. Each of these pages has unique content, but following the content has a MASSIVE amount of links for each zip AND city in that state. I am also in the process of creating unique content for each of these cities and zips HOWEVER, I was wondering would it make sense to create an additional 'county' layer between the states and the zips/cities. Would the additional 'depth' of the links bring down the overall rank of the long tail city and zip pages, or would the fact that the counties would knock the on page link count down from a thousand or so, to a management 50-100 substantially improve the overall quality and ranking of the site? To illustrate, currently I have State -> city and zip pages (1200+ links on each state page) what i want to do is do state -> county (5-300 counties on each state page) -> city + zip (maybe 50-100 links on each county page). What do you guys think? Am I incurring some kind of automatic penalty for having 1000+ links on a page?

Panda Smacked - now it's your turn
Hi all Ok so we were smacked by Panda way back in June 2011, and are recovering from it, (though definitely still not back up to pre-Panda levels). Since then we have: 1. Taken down a load of thin content pages. 2. Increased content. 3. Tried to reduce page template complexity. However, one of the issues we have is that we make money from Adsense, so don't want to reduce the number of ads - however, we may still be falling foul of Panda because of it. So, please take a look at this sample page and tear it /us apart: http://www.compactlaw.co.uk/free-legal-information/children/children-act-orders.html Thank you. And if we can ever help the community back, please just ask.

Moving Top rank Page urls off my Home page and nesting them on one page? Good idea?
I am basically trying to cut down the amount of links on my home page to make it less eye boggling and move stuff around. So i have of my Urls on my home page that lead to pages that rank very well within google. My questions is can i remove those urls to a separate page to group them together and then showcase that one link to that page on my home page. Is that a good idea or i am going to loose my link juice and position in search? The physical urls on those pages wont change at all.

Changing Ttile Tags & 301's
I recently began re-optimizing my title tags site wide. Could this cause 301 redirects and the loss of backlinks?

Old pages
I have a site where I have 5,000 new products each year, I never waned to deleted the old pages due to links pointing to them and keywords. But I now have 20,000 plus pages, does having that many pages spread out my link juice or does it effect me in any other ways over having a site with 5,000 pages or should I keep not deleting old pages so I dont loose any links? Along with that I currently do not link to my old pages from my site so Im guessing google does not get to them very often if at all, if you agree to still keep them should I link to them somewhere? Because the products are not that simiiar and they do bring added value I dont think canonical would work here

Excessive Internal Linking...But it's a product page. What to do?
A few of our companies sites' product pages have the warning about excessive internal links. But these pages are product pages (for example). Should we be worried about this warning? Are there ways to avoid it? Or is it just the nature of the beast...? Thanks in advance!
