Landing page too long
-
In my first seomoz test I have many tilte pages for products that are over 70 charachers long.
The part #'s are long like 10-782-10-10-10-PPxxxx etc.
All these part #'s are not my key products and I could delete or truncate. My question is if the part numbers are not that important, is it OK to leave them as is or is ranking being damaged because they exist?

I see a few other new members need to clarify there questions. It must be a new member thing? I sell B2B industrial products. I have 300 products on the site.
Some products are seldom purchased and the brand name is not significant for these products and your great input will lead me to change their title to the function rather than the part number. Thanks.
If the title page is the right wording and length, and there is a valid product widget -1-1-1 but nobody has bought one in 5 years due to it being a niche product, but they could and it's a profitable sale.
Question: Is** overall site rankin**g being hurt by valid content ( Description, Part # and Price and it can be checked out in the cart), but is is never/seldom searched for.?

Yes!
And to add: look in your analytics how your pages are being found now. Are they being found more on part number than on anything else? And is your title composed of anything else besides the part number?
What would be the most user friendly way to compose your titles? Fly wheel black 6 inch or 113-24322-423? In car land, garages usually find parts on numbers, not on names The question is: are you marketing to consumers who don't know part numbers, or businesses who do?

If the part numbers are not important or irelevent to the product then you should not include them in yor title. But If the part numbers are industry used manufacture numbers and used by people searching for the product then you should include in your title even if it makes them 70 characters or more. Your title should be used to best describe what your page is about and be relevant to how people search for those products.

Long Meta Titles on Dynamic Pages
What to do with long meta titles on press release pages. Unlike other pages on the site, press release pages have no physical value and are dynamically created picking data from the database. Such pages i notice are automatically picking the URL/H1 as meta title and meta description. How to shorten such meta titles and descriptions? Do such errors (related to dynamically created pages) matter? Tanveer

Links to Paywall from Content Pages
Hi, My site is funded by subscriptions. We offer lengthy excerpts, and then direct people to a single paywall page, something like domain.com/subscribe/ This means that most pages on the site links to /subscribe, including all of the high value pages that bring people in from Google. This is a page with an understandably high bounce rate, as most users are not interested in paying for content on the web. My question is are we being penalized in Google for having so many internal links to a page with a very high bounce rate? If anyone has worked with paywall sites before and knows the best practices for this, I'd be really grateful to learn more.

Homepage On-page Optimization
How do you all handle homepage optimization, if you (or a client) offers a variety of services? Our homepage has the strongest link profile of any of our pages, but it lists all the areas of law we cover. Therefore, it has too many keywords and none really rank well. Should we just pick our most profitable areas and optimize for that? www.kempruge.com in case anyone would benefit from looking at the actual page. Thanks, Ruben

Duplicate content on video pages
Hi guys, We have a video section on our site containing about 50 videos, grouped by category/difficulty. On each video page except for the embedded player, a sentence or two describing the video and a list of related video links, there's pretty much nothing else. All of those appear as duplicate content by category. What should we do here? How long a description should be for those pages to appear unique for crawlers? Thanks!

Do product pages need unique content or does having duplcate content hurt on those pages?
We are adding product rapidly to our website but this requires allowing duplicate to exist on our product pages of furniture-online.com. From an SEO standpoint do we need to make this content unique for each product. Since we aren't link building to specific product pages and we don't anticipate product pages being found in a search result, are we ok leaving the duplicate content in place and spending our dollars elsewhere?
