Indexing


Rwfresh

Recommended Posts

Thank you WizardsandWars for looking.

 

What I was concerned about was that I had different links pointing to the same page. I know that it's not good to have that for google. Let's say I have an item which is in 5 different categories. It has links to it from all of theses categories - using different cpath attributes.

 

I was wondering what function the cpath had, since removing it didn't change any functionality.

 

BTW: Nature's Sunshine are the keywords I'm looking for.

 

Do you think that there's anything else that I should do?

 

Thank you

 

Michal

Rich,

 

It appears that Google has now pretty thoroughly indexed your site as all of your product/course pages have been indexed as can be seen here:

 

http://www.google.com/search?q=teetimesnev...0&sa=N&filter=0

 

It is no wonder, however, that it is probably being indexed quite poorly though. It was mentioned several times way back in this thread that you need to have "unique" page titles for each page. Currently your site has "<b>'course name', Tee Times Nevada, Golf in Nevada, Nevada Golf Courses, Book Nevada TeeTimes"</b> as the title for each page. The only unique part is the name of each course and then you have all of that other "crap" in the title which only diminishes the weight given to the words you are really after for that particular page. Let's say for instance someone were to put "Bali Hai Golf Club" into the Google search box- your site would not be found (actually I checked the first 100 returns and gave up). Try changing the title to something like "Bali Hai Golf Club" or "Bali Hai Golf Club Tee Times" and lose all of the other stuff. Save all of that crud for your index page and then do each page as if it is its own site dedicated to just that one course. You do not get bonus points for trying to include all of your keywords in the page title of every page on your site, actually in many ways you get penalized. For the words such as "Nevada Golf Courses" etc. try to create one page for each of those titles and just use one title per page not all of them on every page. Also while not nearly as important your "description" for each page is the same <b>"Golf course in the USA - book online Golf course in the USA - book online"</b> Now what in Sam Hill does that have to do with the Bali Hai Golf Club or any of the other courses listed on your site? Nothing and Google will recognize that. I could also not find an allprods.php file on your site so you really should add that contribution which will list each course name along with a link to each individual course page. You can have it hidden from view and only the search engines will see it (described in the install instructions). HTH

Thanks Justin, Sorry for the late reply. Things have been improving greatly. We are running a bunch of other teetimes sites as well. I will definetly cut the excess crap off the titles as you suggested. Thanks!

6. Install your shop in the root directory of your webspace, not in /catalog/ for example.

 

There are more tricks to getting good Google listings, but that's your lot.

So does this mean in the "/ public_html" directory. Seems to be my root directory far as I can tell although there is a "/" directory before it.

 

How would we move our untire site over form /catalog to the root directory. Would we have to reinstall and then copy over our modified files?

 

Also I have version 2.2 . Does this mean I have 2.2 MS2 or does just having 2.2 adequate. How do we tell?

you would just need to change two files - following copying all to root:

 

includes/configure.php

admin/includes/configure.php
