Breadcrumb position SEO impact
-
Hi all,
Our UX designers are working on a new page design, and the breadcrumb position looks somewhat strange - it's almost in the middle of the page.
The new page looks like this (the breadcrumb is below the head banner), but it's a showcase page that contains about 150 items. Each of them has a small thumbnail, title, category and short description. They've decided to use the head banner's place and have there all items, grouped in categories that visitors can browse. The breadcrumb menu is at 900 pixels from the top of the page
In other words, you have the major part of this page content in front of the breadcrumb menu.
Are there any SEO implications in such case? Should we use breadcrumbs on this page if they're not at the top?
Thanks,
Maggie -
The purpose of the crumb trail to let users know where they are and provide an easy method to Navigate back along the path they have taken.
In which case, as a user there is a particular place I expect to see the crumb trail, usually at the top of a content block directly under the page header.
If its not user friendly I wouldn't expect it to be beneficial to SEO either.
Loving the design though

Does sending ecom traffic away from a site impact rankings?
I have a client that represents a few big brands but doesn't offer ecommerce capability onsite, they essentially send traffic to retailers and distributors that do sell their products online - they even point to an amazon store that they own. My question is, if they did offer ecom and the conversions took place on their site, rather than direct traffic away from them, would this impact on their rankings at all?

SEO for EMD
Hi, I bought ForSaleInAZ.com for my real estate website. Google Keyword Tool estimate 301k local searches for that term. I would like to capitalize on this by building this site with good content. My question to you, besides the search being the URL, what is the best practice to specifically promote the "For Sale In AZ" phrase? Should it be in the Page Title, Meta Description, Content H1 & H2 tags, Image tag? Or, is it being in the URL good enough...so all I have to do is build good content? I understand not to over do it but I could use your advice. Can you please give me some suggestions/ guidelines to follow specifically to my EMD? SEO Expertise Level: I am comfortable and have the decent understanding but, by no means, an expert! Thanks, Carl
