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.

Duplicate content
Hi everyone, I have a wedding blog I submit posts to on a monthly basis for a link back. One of the staff said to change the first 200 character and I can post it on my own blog with no duplicate content penalty. Any thoughts? Best wishes. David.

Unique pages per search phrase, Yes or No?
Hi People What is the general consensus regarding having bespoke pages for several search phrases? Should you have an individual page on your site for each main key phrase you want to target or should you target several phrases for each page e.g. Target 3 phrases per page. And if having separate pages for key phrase should there be links on site to these pages or is it enough just to have them in a site map? Thanks Andy

Giveaway outreach - duplicate content?
I'm thinking of hosting a giveaway, and promoting this to bloggers. Thinking of how to go about this, I've run into a sort of a road block. I'm thinking the best way would be to attach a flyer detailing the giveaway so that bloggers have easy access to the information. However, I fear that a lot of them will just copy + paste from the flyer straight to a blog post - which will create a lot of duplicate content. Anybody in the community willing to share their experiences and how they were able to go around the duplicate content issue?

Which is More Powerful? Content or Backlinks: Ecommerce Sales
Hello, Which do you guys think would bring in more sales: doubling the content across all category pages and top 30 products, or getting 10% more good unique root domain backlinks from broken link building? 350 products in total 50 main categories 150 subcategories. Product page content would be frequently asked questions for the product and would be added by the site owner who is an expert. Thanks.

Seo work for video production
Hi all, I'm about to start helping a friend who owns a video production company here in the UK. Currently he has a website with no real links.For "video production" / "video production companies" a lot of the top organic results have high number of links and according to the seomoz difficulty tool its coming in as hightly competitive 55%. Looking at the competitors there are lots of links to directories. Rather than taking this approach, do you think links to youtube for help videos, guest blogging, etc would be a more valuable strategy. He's never going to compete on linking root domains. Any help is appreciated.

Why my page is not in top 50 already?
I started building links about a month ago for a new, 48% difficulty (according to Keyword analysis) keyword. The on-site optimisation is OK I think, the URL is an A grade (with maximum points, only 1-2 low importance factors missing). I trust my team I work with as they already ranked my site for several keywords in the top 5 positions (only manual linkbuilding). I do not expect top 10 results, but my page did not show up even in the top 50. Furthermore, there are a lot of tiny and weak pages in the top 50. I started campaigns for some other keywords at the same time with this and those are already around 15-20. So is there anything I should check? I am worried I am doing something wrong.

301 to main page or deeper page for best 'link juice'.
I have two rafting websites. One ranks high for one set of keywords. The other ranks okay for a different set. I want to redirect the whole second site to the first to give the first more link juice and hopefully lift the first site even more in the rankings. Would it be better to link to a deeper page of the 1st site. I have a page that does well for some long tail keywords or would it be better to link to the main page. Or is it a bad idea over all.

How can influence a directory backling page on your website ?
Hi, Some good directories asked a backlink for having ours listed in their categories. But of course, I am not fan of putting their link on the home page, but creating a page exclusively for these backlinks is a bad thing to mister google ? thanks in advance !
