H1 tags the same on all pages - problem?
-
I generally use wordpress as a CMS and have the H1 tag coded in the header.php include file. This results as it being the same in all page - I normally do something like
Keyword - Company name
and set the company logo as the background and move the text off screen using text indent (CSS).
Is having the same
on every page a bad thing?
I might be tricky to change so their all unique.
-
Yes that sounds better to me. What do you use for the co logo - a tag with a bg image or just a straight image?
-
It's definitely worth it! Try changing it to surround page/post title, and keeping it as name/logo only on the homepage.
-
I would stop using the
tag for the header / compagny logo. This is definitely not the title of your page. Just use an tag with a proper alt attribute for your header logo.
You'll then be able to have one unique
tag on each of your page, where you'll be able to enter the real title of your page.

I would use a div, thats what they are for, a H1 tells the SE what the page is about, and i would not move anything of screen, SE's see that as spaming
I only just re-read and see you are using wordpress, i know little about word press, i can only answer to how i do things.
I would use a strait image, so you can use the alt tag for SEO
I would make the title and h1 unique
I would not move any text off screen. -
True, I've also tried to be as semantic as possible with my code which is why I've used it as a background of a H1 (Your logo being the first heading).
What do you guys use to display your logo - background of another tag or as a pure image?
-
Perhaps I'm over complecating it - how would you code the logo of each page? Background for a H tag, straight image or as a background for some other tag?
-
what about title? that certainly should not be the same.
I can not see whythis would be so tricky are these pages static or dynamic? how many? -
Why not just have logo as logo with ALT on it and H1 where it should be - right above the content area?

Pages or Blog posts?
Hi, I am currently building content for a customer's website. There are approximately 50 new content pages I am building about the business, products they serve, how-tos and tips and advice. The website is built on Wordpress so my question is would it be best to post this content as a different blog posts or as separate pages in Wordpress and link them up to a 'hub page' as mentioned on this post about How to rank (point 16) Thanks for any advice.

At "On-Page Report " i have noticed that the only important problem my site has is the "Occurrences of Keyword " it says that i have ONLY 14.156 keyword repeat. My page ofcourse does not have so many repeats of same keyword. In fact this keyword is shown 10 times as i saw at source code of this page i tested. This report is for one page or for all pages of domain ? My keyword was two words keyword if that matters but there is no way that keywords to be repeated so many times.

View all Page for Product Overview Pages
Hi everybody! We have an ecommerce site with product overview pages, where sometimes there are hundreds of products listed. Usually, we just display 30 and have a button where users can click to see 30 more - or all products listed at once. This is the overview page (as indexed in google): http://www.geschenkidee.ch/aussergewoehnliches.html
On-Page Optimization | | zeepartner
And this is the view-all page: http://www.geschenkidee.ch/aussergewoehnliches.html#all What should I do here? The product overview page will hardly generate more traffic by listing all products (because the overview page will rank for generic keywords, while the product keyword searches will be referred to the specific product pages themselves). I was originally thinking of using rel=canonical pointing to the view-all page. But this would just lead to longer load time. Should we just leave those overview pages or is there a best practice for how to deal with such pages? Thanks for your thoughts on this!0 -
Handling Deleted Pages
The backstory: My site has a fantasy sportsbook where users can place "bets" on pretty much anything. Each game has a unique matchup page, where the odds are displayed and any conversation about the game takes place. Example here. About 95% of the games are automatically graded, but I have to manually grade the rest. Therefore, as soon as every game starts I check to see if any users have made a pick on it, and if not I delete it because it reduces my workload. The problem: About 15% of my search-driven traffic is queries for games that no longer exist, which makes sense because nobody bets on the super obscure games and these games are very easy to rank for. I am currently redirecting them to my 404 page but I'm worried that all of these hits are hurting my reputation with the big G. Would it be better to noindex all of these pages at first and take the noindex away as soon as I'm positive that the game will stay?

Third party pages
Suppose you are using a third party tool such as an affiliate program. Typically, all the files are organized under one subdirectory. In addition, you may have little or no ability to modify any of the files in terms of SEO. Would you recommend hiding the entire subdirectory with a noindex? Best,
