Content of the Product Page
-
Hi Everybody :
how can you tell if the content on the product pages are accessible by google ?
please have a look at my product page :
http://www.fireplaceproducts.co.uk/stoves/aarrow-stoves/aarrow-ecoburn-defra-wood-burning-stove/
i used classes in product page to set the key features, construction ,...
i notices other companies done these as text and they get better ranks do you think that's the reason ?
also to test that i added the text exact same as the key features , construction ,... as additional information at the end of the product page , would you thin that would be considered as duplication ?
Kind Regards
Arta

Hi Arta,
Sorry, I was out for most of yesterday. And not quite sure what happened to the link. This is the tool I was referring to: http://www.webconfs.com/search-engine-spider-simulator.php
If you break your page up, you have basic information and cost at the top left with the image to the right - nothing wrong with that, but the buy button should also be in the Product Details up there at the top. As it stands, you have a price match and accessories before you get to it.
Then you have a big block of Special Offers. It is important to say if it comes with something free, but this doesn't look right at all. The heading for that (included free with this stove) is smaller than the product headings below. You need to box this off somehow and make it stand out.
Then you come to the drop downs and additional information. There is so much going on here - the use of the collapsable ones and horizontal tabs don't really work well together. Why not use all horizontal tabs? And I would get rid of any duplication you have in the Additional Information.

"how can you tell if the content on the product pages are accessible by google?"
Simple. Use seo-browser to see what is "crawlable" by a search engine bot. I have done this for the link you provided. Here is the result:
If you see it shown there, then Google can read it.
Secondly, make sure the product pages or folders are not blocked with any robots.txt rules, and that the page is set to "index/follow", which it currently does not look like they are, based off of viewing the page source.
Sumbit a sitemap to GWT with all the site URL's you want indexed.
As a sidenote, I found this on the page:
<title>Aarrow ecoburn stoves, aarrow stoves uk, ecoburn 5 7 9 11 stove</title>
Since the page is about "wood burning stove(s)" you will probably want to mention that in the descriptions and keywords. If you do get that page showing up in search results, that description could be a bit prettier. I doubt people will click on something that either looks spammy, or is something they cannot understand. Something like: "Fireplace Products UK offers a wide selection of Aarrow Ecoburn wood buring stoves for your home. Primary UK distributor of Aarrow stoves and ovens."
Page title should reflect the same. Right now, they all display the same info.
Hope this helps!

I like to use screaming frog or xenu. They basically crawl the links on your site and give you a report on the results. To put it simply, if pages do not show up in the results then Google probably wont either. Be careful though, the free version of screaming frog only crawls up to 500 pages.
You can also look at individual pages by typing "cache:[url]" into the address bar in chrome. This displays Google's latest index of the page. If it shows a 404 error then it has not indexed it - although this will often be the case with new products as Google just hasn't indexed it yet.

Thank you for quick response !
so my question was how you know if your content is visible and accessible by Google , is there a straight answer for that ?
buy now button is next to price , but when product has price match option and accessories that users can add buy now button is underneath all those choices , do you think when users have a choice of buying this product cheaper or add accessories before go to checkout buy now button should still be next to price?
you are right about reviews we tried but cant get so many of them !

Hi,
I picked up a tool seo-browser.com from this post http://moz.com/community/q/what-recommendations-do-you-have-for-the-seo-of-this-site#reply_237515 by David Kley
It's a bit like a Fetch as Google https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/158587?hl=en

Hi Arta,
Andy has given you some good tips there.
I found the page a bit all over the place with nothing where I would imagine it should be, but in terms of what the search engines can see, have a look at this tool. It will help you understand what Google can see on the page.

In terms of being seen as duplicate, yes but this content is essential - you can't get away from the fact the dimension / spec is the details and you can't change them, but what you can do is add more unique content to the page.
There seems to be a lot of manufacturers content on the page and I would assume that a lot of your competitors are using the same info - so this is where the duplicate worry would come in for me.
While this is quick and easy to use, its worth spend the time to add more unique content, and higher up the page the better.
You have Reviews section, have you been contacting previous purchases and encouraging them to leave a review - this will help to create unique content. If your using a shopping platform to create your store like shopify etc there are a lot of plugins to do this for you automatically so once set up you don't need to worry about it.
On a side note, it actually took me a while to find the buy button - it wasn't where I would of expected it to be, next to the price.

Best practice in terms of link volume in a page
Hi everyone! Done a site audit recently and found that some articles in our Resource content (where we generally put useful industry news/posts) have multiple links in it (4 to 9 links in a single article). And these are usually internal links (within our domain), but there are few mixed with external domains. What we would like to know: What's the best practice in terms of regulating number of links (internal or external) in an article? Another case I noticed, some links in our articles appeared to be targeting same landing page, just different anchor texts used. Will this get us into trouble? Thanks in advanced for your help.

Should I Be Concerned About Unnatural Links Pointing to 404 Pages?
I bought an existing domain name on Sedo sometime ago and launched a new website on it in early June this year. I noticed there are about 5 or 6 spammy links from directories that were obviously bought by the previous domain owner but they're pointing to pages that never existed on the new website. Other than that, the link profile is 100% clean and it's quite good actually, lots of links from my content being shared on social networks. So should I be worried about these links? Like a lot of webmasters, I'd like to avoid using the disavow tool, I really don't trust that thing.

Number of pages to target per Keyword
Hello, I Want Help my company with our webpage we are "manufacturers" and "wholesale Suppliers" our products are "Transponder Keys", "Automotive Door Locks". On my keyword research on Adwords I Found "Transponder Key" = 1600 Exact Global Searches so, long tail Keywords like "Transponder Key Manufacturer" have less Searches but are less competitive. I´m trying to Target "Transponder Key Manufacturer""Transponder Key Supplier"

"Transponder Key" Main Question, when you do SEO for webpage, all your seo campaign goes for 1 webpage, example www.example.com/new_seo_content.html or one page for groups of similar keywords like Transponder key, transponder key manufacturer, transponder key supplier0 -
Link building for a product review site
I'm doing SEO for a product review website, and I'm curious what link building opportunities are best for this category. Assume only the following: The website is basically a blog Most of the articles are reviews on cosmetic products, though there are also articles regarding news, product roundups, tips&tricks and similar content The website is in a local, non-english language Disregarding low-value opportunities such as directories, what kind of websites should I aim for outreach purposes? So far, I'm thinking the following: Product manufacturers (very low success chance, as the review site is fairly new and in a localized language) E-commerce sites selling the products (average to low success chance, since a lot of them use CMSes that might not allow integration of a review) Other cosmetic blogs, particularly for guest blogging (average to low success chance, since the website is fairly new) Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

1 Domain - 2 Links Pointing to 2 Different Pages
Hi Guys, I wonder if you can give me any pointers: We have an exact match domain name that is ranking #5 for our main keyword and is getting some good traffic through the site. We have just created a landing page for another keyword with fresh content that will be updated every week. The question is, I've been building links to my domain name and I'm just wondering if we built another link from 1 of the sites we already have a link on and point it to this new landing page would this help it rank better or not? Hope the above makes sense. Thanks, Scott

Effects of link bait page
Hi Mozzers! I'm thinking about putting a page with some interesting comedy content on my site as link bait and had a few questions on how i should go about it. 1. Should I link to this page from my home page or would it be better to build outside links to it and then funnel all the page rank to the pages on my site that i want ranking higher? I've been told that page rank is a tiny factor in ranking in the serps so is it worth doing if the only reason i'm building it is to funnel page rank to my important pages? The link bait page content will be on the same subject as my entire site so it will definitely help google associate my site with my product from the incoming links. 2. if a web page on my site receives links does it help other pages on my site to rank higher or just the page with the incoming links? One time i had a flurry of links pop up to my home page and it seemed like all my pages started ranking higher, but it might just have been coincidence? Any thoughts? 3. What's a good way to get my page seen by the masses to draw links? I thought about buying some stumbles on Stumbleupon to get it seen quickly but are there more or better ways to do this? Thanks in advance everyone! Ron

Value of a Wikipedia page
Is there any value in creating a Wikipedia page for a company then placing a link from a Wikipedia article that is focused on a service or type of product that the company offers? I was recently searching for topics related to a companies services on Wikipedia and found some of our competitors had links within the article to their very own Wikipedia pages. Companies Wikipedia page contained a link to the companies website.
