Why do you need Plone SEO service?

SEO (search engine optimization) - is the process of analyzing the potential design of the site and problems for search engines indexing and positioning. In other words search engine optimization can make your web site and its content attractive, relevant and visible to search engines and web searchers.

Search engine optimization is a necessary part of any website trying to make money or attract attention online. According to studies made, most search engine users don’t click past the first three pages of search results; many don’t even click past the first page if they find what they’re looking for. As a result, if your site isn’t listed in the first three pages, it might as well be invisible.

How to be confident about your site being on the first pages in search results? Google ranks all the pages of your site, but how to be sure that everything works correctly? How to increase rank of the pages on your site?

Duplicate Content Issues

Analyse your site from the point of existing duplicate content issues. What are duplicate content issues? Duplicate content issues refer to substantive pieces of content within a site that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar. That means you site includes multiple URLs with same content, i.e. different URLs lead to the identical pages.

Google trashes all similar pages, not a single page from a bunch of near-duplicates survives. It seems like Google hates duplicated content so much, that it wipes it out completely, without preserving the source. As a result the rank of your site-pages will be far from high, and in search result your site will hardly be on any high position.

How to indicate whether there are or there are not duplicate content issues on your site?

Enter 'site:' and 'your site URL' in a Google search area, e.g: site:www.plone-site.com.

Search results will display you all the pages, that search engine sees available on your site. If you see more pages in the search results then there are in the site, that is a sign of existence of duplicate content issues.

One more sign is occurrence of such repetitions in URLs like:

  • www.plone-site.com/somefolder/page/somefolder
  • www.plone-site.com/somefolder/page/page
  • www.plone-site.com/somepage/?None

That is the case when Search Engine Optimization needs to be taken into consideration.When done correctly, search engine optimization can bring people to your site that are actually looking for what you are offering.
