B2b services site, deep long tail services or flat and broad
-
Hi all,
i have a small internet agency with services in several area's.
Currently i structud my services in 2 different area's.
General services and specialized products with services underneath.like so:
domain.com/services
domain.com/services/service1
domain.com/services/service2
and so on.domain.com/product
domain.com/product/service1
domain.com/product/service2domain.com/product2
domain.com/product2/service1
domain.com/product2/service2But now im thinking of create loads of different services i provide,
there are some overlapping content of course, but all services are still individual.
But i can write a lot of unique content about all the services.But is it smarter to make just a few big pages with the services more bundled.
Or really long tail.Now i have around 15 services pages.
when i make it a lot deeper im talking about 40 pages.Currently my complete website is around 35 pages.

If you create those pages individually then to me it would seem that magento is not responsive or custom and responsive is not custom or magento.
To me it clearly seems that it's just sections of one page and that's how i'd recommend to do it.
-
Maybe to clarify a few things. For example
i have a service
Webshop developmentbut i also want to target on
Magento webshop development
Responsive webshop development
Custom webshop developmentSo yeah they are very similar, but all have a very specific end-goal.
When i have those words on h2, h3 element on the site with around 200 words about it beneath that i notice that im not ranking nearly enough then when creating all separate pages.But im afraid i will go overboard, of course the user still needs to find it value-able

Hi.
But now im thinking of create loads of different services i provide,
there are some overlapping content of course, but all services are still individual.
But i can write a lot of unique content about all the services.Is it truly gonna be unique? Or unique will mean has words' order is changed and city names gonna be different? It's all about user experience nowadays, my friend. Everything has to make sense.
Here is a whiteboard friday you can refer to: https://moz.com/blog/pinpoint-vs-floodlight-content-and-keyword-research-strategies-whiteboard-friday
Basically, don't create extra pages just for extra pages. If every page has something unique to offer - go ahead. Also think about if those "unique services" are actually main services. If you have some kinda product which brings 0.5% of your revenue and is supportive service, then why even waste time on trying to rank for it and dilute the "theme" of the website.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I think in this instance you will have to do a ROI investigation into your site and determine whether ranking for your long-tail keywords will generate the same kinds of conversions and income that ranking generally will.
For example, you obviously know long-tails are easier to rank for while generals have more potential traffic. If you can rank for your big keywords, you stand to bring more people to your site. That being said, are they equally likely to convert?
The big factor here is to determine what keywords suggest the greatest customer interest in purchase, and using those as your targeted keywords. If you can bring in big numbers of highly-targeted customers, that is ideal, but chances are that isn't the case. Given these are b2b services, you are probably less concerned with rankings and more concerned with marketing to clients through other means, so general keywords might be the way to go (unless your clients are very niche-specific).
I would try to find the happy middle-zone of numbers and high-payment potential.
Best of luck moving forward!

Can anyone recommend a good reliable blogging platform for a small to medium sized manufacturing and services company?
I've been asked by my manager to investigate the best blogging platform for our company website. On a recent CIM course it ways suggested that Wordpress is not necessarily reliable. Could anyone advise? The blog is required to provide a space for current industry news, casestudies etc. It is also envisaged that the blog will allow comments. I've only got good things to say about Wordpress, but have only used the platform for my own small SEO company.

Would you allow guest writers to have google adsense on your site
Hi, i am thinking of building a website where 30% of the writers would be guest bloggers and i was thinking about letting guest bloggers have adsense on the site. What i was thinking of doing was, allowing the guest blogger to have one google adsense advert on the page of the article but not sure what people think. The new magazine would be on one topic but i am worried incase the person kept on pressing the google adsense advert to get money in. The google adsense code would be there code, does anyone know if there is a way from hiding their code so they do not know which one is their google adsense advert, and do people think this is a good idea. This would only be offered to people who write good quality interest content. will be interested to hear your thoughts

How to best take advantage of content being used on another site?
We've never syndicated content or done "article marketing". Another site contacted us and requested to use the content on several of our webpages. The other site is a fairly prestigious nonprofit in our industry. We don't mind them using our content, but we want to get the most benefit out of it. There are two ways the occur to me: Have them create pages with the exact same text as on our pages, but put in the header of those pages Just have them create pages with the text from our pages with embedded links back to our other pages. Each page they create will say "Content courtesy of XXX" Does anyone have opinions on which way is best, or another approach?
