Creating a Landing Page
-
Ok, ,quick question. A client is launching a new product.
Would you recommend creating a landing page (off main domain) such as:
productname.com ---- and this page would have product information and would be a landing page for a possible PPC campaign. A link would be included to their main website to purchase product.
or
would you include the new product on their main website (companysite.com) in the appropriate product category?
Is there any benefits to having it on it's own domain? SEO benefits?

Thanks Calin - yes, these bulletpoints are fantastic to consider, thanks for adding this!

Hi,
If you were to include the landing page on your existing URL like this...
It will receive ranking benefits from the website's existing authority whereas the new URL is starting from scratch. Building authority takes time, and you are likely better served, as Patrick mentioned, to include the page on your existing URL.
With that being said, a few reasons I can think of for splitting the product onto its own URL are
- if it truly didn't fit into your website's existing architecture
- if you want to brand it as a stand alone product
- if you want the ranking benefits of an exact match domain
Cheers,

Hi there
I would build a static product page out on the website instead of a landing page. This way you can link to the new product page via the homepage in some way and utilize email, social, and doing some paid to the new product page. So the URL would look like this...
https://www.yourwebsite.com/category/new-product
The reason being - you want to build equity to that new product page and get eyes on it. Have a URL structure that you will be happy with, with a nice and clean product page, and link to it in a way that gets both search equity and eyes on it. If you develop a landing page, you're still eventually going to have to build a static page for the product anyway, so you're putting more time and effort in than you need to.
You should also look into product schema to help crawlers quickly digest the information about the products on your site, which could potentially help you in the SERPs.
Does this all make sense? Hope this helps - good luck!

I think it really depends on your preference, time, budget, goals, and product. Personally, I would build the landing page inside of my current web page. If you feel this product is going to be the company's main focus then I would consider doing a separate landing page, but the benefits of having everything on one domain outweigh a landing page in almost every aspect.
The benefit to having the product on its own domain is that your site can be 100% tailored toward that specific product and it might convert better. That being said, you also have to manage another website and build a new community. This is going to take some resources to accomplish.
I tend to look at websites that are building a ton of landing pages internally and are killing it. Hubspot is a great example. Although they don't have physical products, they have a ton of different landing pages.internally that help with their overall SEO and converts. Take a look at unbounce.com and leadpages.net for more info. Good luck

Over Optimised Magento Pages
We are working on a clients Magento site and we've added new copy which has a decent keyword density which is in line with best practice. When we run it through Moz we are getting a Key Word Stuffing alert saying the page has 27 keywords, where we can only see about 11. This is the page https://www.greatbeanbags.com/bean-bag-cushions The client is pushing back saying the page must have already been optimised before as our new copy has triggered the stuffing alert. But my guess is the page was already stuffed but buy some Magento code we can't see. Any ideas? #magento #Keyworddensity

Separate service page for each key-word we're ranking in
Hello guys, I have a service-based website. Right now, I have around 30 commercial pages for different services, that we offer. I came up with idea to add service page for each keyword we're ranking in. For example, we offer home-construction service and we have 1 commercial page for this service. I will create 10-20 pages for keywords, related to home-construction services.

For example: bricklaying, Fundamental works, Landscape works, Concrete works, etc. I saw similar approach on this website. It's a link on bricklaying page: https://kiev.kabanchik.ua/ua/category/kladka-kirpicha If you scroll down you will see section with keywords, related to bricklaying and each keyword has separate page with duplicate content. My questions are: Do you know the name of this SEO tactic, so I can google more information about it? Do you think that it's good idea to use similar approach in order to improve your rankings for certain keywords? Is it a dangerous SEO tactic that may cause some penalties for your website or it's completely safe? Thank you for helping, guys! 331ea1ea-1d49-4f6c-89ef-510ef4657fa4-image.png c5999dbb-6dfb-4fbe-b3e8-ab9a0943bd88-image.png0 -
Updating Content - Make changes to current URL or create a new one?
I'm working with a content team on a job search guide for 2019. We already have a job search guide for 2018. Should we just edit the content of the job search guide for 2018 to make it current for 2019, which means the job search guide for 2018 would not exist anymore or should we keep the 2018 guide and just create a new web page for the 2019 guide that way both exist. We currently rank very well for the 2018 job search guide.

How Are You Handling Blog Posts/Author Pages when Employees Leave the Company?
What do you believe to be the best approach in handling blog content for employees once they have left the company? We don’t want to remove the blog posts so they need to stay, but then there are the author pages. This gets tricky because the CMS ties the blog post to the author. One approach might be to change the author’s name to the Company’s name to get around author pages for people no longer with the company. It’s kind of tricky because the blog posts won’t have the same credibility if they don’t have a person’s name/photo associated with the post. We could leave the blogger’s page and list him as a “Contributing Author” once he’s left the company. Thoughts?

Authorship showing in SERPs for non-blog pages
Hi, A few months ago we set up authorship for on our blog articles for multiple authors, which has helped driving extra traffic to our blog posts. Today, I did a search for one of most important search terms and one of our non-blog pages is showing in the first page of the results with one of our authors headshot next to it. Technically we have not not set it up to do this, the page is on a different CMS to our blog (which is wordpress). I'm not complaining because I think this is a positive outcome, but does anyone have an idea why it has done this? I was under the impression that only blog article pages could have authorship set up. Thanks, Stu

Is it advisable to have unique pages for different cities/states though there wouldnt be any actual differentiation in the actual content.
Is it advisable to have unique pages for different cities/states though there wouldnt be any actual differentiation in the content. For example should we have separate pages for "hammers in california" & "hammers in new york". The product is same and content more or less the same. The search volume for individual queries is low but collectively makes a large number. The unique title tag automatically will generate traffic. So does it make sense to make 50 such pages. Else is there any way to uniquely target 50 such queries/month/city

Posts vs Pages and Rankings Differ Greatly
I use wordpress for most of my sites and generally have a post 'news' section. What I've noticed is that just about every time a post will always rank much higher and much faster than a 'page'. As long as I don't let it get buried in the news archives it continues to rank well, better than if I were to create a 'page'. Is there any sort of reason this might occur? I'd like to be able to just create 'pages' but at this point in time it makes no sense.
