Advice on improve this content page for seo and google
-
Hi, i use joomla and i am looking for some help to find out what i should be doing to make my content pages better for seo and google.
I would be grateful if people would look at the following page as an example http://www.in2town.co.uk/trip-advisor/top-american-ski-resorts-for-over-50s
and let me know what i should be doing to make it better for seo and for google so people can find the page.
I am using the above page as an example so i can learn from it.
I would be grateful if people could look at the source code for the page to see if there is anything that should be in their that is not and if i should be looking at any joomla plugins for the content pages to improve the seo of the page.
Any help to improve my seo for my content pages would be great.
many thanks

h mark, it maybe because that is a different author on that page. but the one here is the second one i done and the one above is the 1st as a test
here is the article
i have been adding more to the articles on my site but as yet i have not seen one picture show up in google when i do a search.
-
Hi Diane,
Yes, I would suggest adding the above code I suggested and customizing it to the page.
The rich snippet testing tool indicates that authorship is working for your page but there still must be something which is incorrect -
Let me know how you get on,
Mark

Hi, do you know how long the authorship takes to show up in google. i have added it to many articles on my site but cannot see any results
-
going to spend the night going through the site adding authorship to the articles, but just researching at the moment i am sort out the apply publisher markup to the home page of my site
this has been great information, many thanks.
I have been doing a lot of things wrong, for example the images, now i think it would be best putting the title of the page in the image description or relevant information
-
i have authorised with google this page 52-million-people-take-trips-to-spain-for-cheap-holidays but i take it i still need to put the above information on the page
-
Hi Diane,
- Apply Authorship markup for the person who has written the article.
- Apply publisher markup (your brand Google + page) to the homepage of the site.
- For the logo, just link it to the homepage. I'm not sure what you mean by text in regards this.
Best wishes,
Mark

Hi, thanks for this. Can i confirm a couple of things. If we have a few writers then we would have to have dfferent google authorship, we would not be able to have one under the name of in2town.
i was not aware that the logo should link to our home page, i will do this now, under what text would you link it to the home page, should we be putting in2town, or lifestyle magazine
many thanks fr your help

Hi Diane,
I thought I wold jump in as no one else has so far. My suggestions are noted below -
- Apply Google + authorship markup to all of the articles on your site.
If we take the article you just linked to as an example, you can see that markup has no been applied to it.
If you can't find a suitable Joomla SEO plugin (apologies, my Joomla knowledge is poor so I can't recommend one), you need to add the below HTML to each article and tailor it.

I would also suggest improving the content a little bit. The title of the article is 'Top American ski resorts for over 50s, but the content of the article doesn't make it clear what the top resorts actually are. The body of the article would benefit greatly from more information about the resorts in a clear format, and possibly with added images.
-
The alt text for the image seems a little spammy - 'skiing holiday ideas'. The alt text of an image should reflect what the image is about.
-
Random suggestion, I find it strange that your logo doesn't link to the homepage
-
The title tag of your site doesn't contain your brand name. Worth putting at the end of the title tag.
I could go a lot deeper but hopefully that's a starting point for you Diane.
Any more questions then just shout!
Best wishes,
Mark

Have I done enough seo on this page to make a difference
Hi, my home page has been a thorn in my side for as long as i remember. On normal sites i am ok with seo but when it comes to my magazine site it is a whole new ball game as everything is different. I have been working with a developer who has told me to remove the intro to the site on the home page and to move the bottom of the site which was about the magazine but i am not sure if this is right. I want the site to rank well for the following Lifestyle Magazine now before our upgrade, we ranked well for this and other words, we were number one for a very long time and then stayed on the first page but now since the upgrade, i am jumping from page 9, 10, to six and not sure why that is happening. I would like to know if the advice i have been given is correct, have i done enough on the page to rank well for lifestyle magazine, or should i be doing what i have been taught previously where i should be having an intro to the site so google can pick up the words lifestyle magazine and other words. the site is www.in2town.co.uk many thanks for your input

Quickest way to remove content from Google index?
We had some content on our own website indexed by Google and the content was changed later. But that content is still showing up in Google results. Of course because it was indexed. Its very important for us that content should not show up in Google. So how to remove that content quickly from Google Index? I know normally when it crawl again it will show new content. Google url removal tool or Google url fetch ? or anything else?

Can you have the same brand name for two distinct Google Places Pages
Hello Mozers I'd like to know if two existing GPP can have the same name 'spabycar'. At present 'mobile nail technician' based in W1 and 'spabycar 'WD' are ranking (ironically the one that has the old brand name is very high!). Both need to be 'spabycar' If this is feasible, is there a down side, and is there a good tutorial source for an aspirant to follow? Thanks Catherine

Entry based content and SEO
My E-commerce team is implementing functionality that allows us to display different content based on what channel and even what keyword the customers used to reach our page. This is of course a move that we believe will strengthen our conversion rates, but how will this effect our organic search listings? Do you guys have any examples of how this could affect us, and are there any technology pitfalls that we absolutely need to know about?
