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

Static or dynamic category pages for seo
Hi, I'm developing an accommodation site with a limited number of properties in 8 categories. I had been looking at making the properties blog posts and then using category function to show lists but its going to require a lot of customisation and I have seo concerns about the dynamic content as the category page is crucial. As I don't have a lot to add and listings will remain the same my latest thought was to create all as pages. However if I create a page with a list of 12 properties on a category page is there anyway of adding some sorting criteria to that page (would be 7 options - swimming pool, near beach, on site creche, budget, mid-range, luxury) Thanks for any tips Neil

Page rank 2 for home page, 3 for service pages
Hey guys, I have noticed with one of our new sites, the home page is showing page rank two, whereas 2 of the internal service pages are showing as 3. I have checked with both open site explorer and yahoo back links and there are by far more links to the home page. All quality and relevant directory submissions and blog comments. The site is only 4 months old, I wonder if anyone can shed any light on the fact 2 of the lesser linked pages are showing higher PR? Thanks 🙂

Google indexing page with description
Hello, We rank fairly high for a lot of terms but Google is not indexing our descriptions properly. An example is with "arnold schwarzenegger net worth". http://www.google.ca/search?q=arnold+schwarzenegger+net+worth&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a When we add content, we throw up a placeholder page first. The content gets added with no body content and the page only contains the net worth amount of the celebrity. We then go back through and re-add the descriptions and profile bio shortly after. Will that affect how the pages are getting indexed and is there a way we can get Google to go back to the page and try to index the description so it doesn't just appear as a straight link? Thanks, Alex
