thanks! very helpful!

We are changing our homepage (and gradually the rest of the site) to Angular JS.
In order not to lose anything in terms of SEO we are implementing Hashbangs + escaped fragment snapshots.

Are there any other SEO considerations you think we should have and/or additional elements that we could add to the page to improve it in terms of SEO?

I get Matt Cutts saying this isnt really a priority, but still want to get it right

Our menu links have anchor text and the links within the page are images (next to each other with dif pics)
It seems like I should keep menu links both as Follow, but NoFollow one set of the image links on the page, right?

My company is redoing our homepage and there will be 4 links to our main play pages (5 games).  2 in the menu and 2 within the content.

I was thinking I should no follow one of the links on the homepage + 1 in the menu so that we don't have link dilution from having multiple internal links to the same destination within 1 page.

Does this make sense? Any downside of this or suggestions of a solution that may be more effective?

Thanks!

It seems like you probably don't want 4 different TLD, but instead would want to use ahref lang to indicate to Google that you are showing different regions different content. See here for more of an explanation - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en

Alternatively, if you do want the unique TLDs you could put a canonical to whatever content is duplicate back to the main site (.com probably).

yes, that is the super simple explanation my mind was blanking on.

thanks!

Thanks.... We have a translated site where we follow these guidelines.

However, this is more about increasing conversions and showing one banner to new visitors and another banner on the same URL to returning visits, with some additional small variations on the page as well....

We want to show new and returning visitors different versions of our homepage (same URL)

What, if anything, should we use as the markup to tell Google what we are doing?
Any danger that Google will think we are cloaking?

Thanks!

I would agree with the above 2 opinions, but assuming the price is cheap I would also buy atlanta.travel and put up a small website there with minimal SEO work so you have it in case the domain starts gaining respectability and/or becomes valuable while testing if it can bring you anything.

That's what I'm doing and isn't working...

But thanks!

You should keep the H1 tag to only one per page and make the other headings H2.

Change the sizing of the H1 bullet to slightly bigger than the rest of the text on the page.

I want to find out keyword research about a specific US State but Google's tool only gives me data by Country.

Is there something else I can use?

H1 tags should be the largest text on the page.  Search engines want these to be the actual header on the page.  If you want the biggest item on the page to be "Respect the Bean"  but it is not any of your keywords, how about making it into an image?

I would also second Aran's remark that your current H1 seems like keyword stuffing.
