Suggestions on good framework/code for building an optimized website?
-
There seem to be quite a few template, framework, and theme options for building a site optimized for search.
I'm currently looking at Socrates and Genesis premium themes for Wordpress. Does anyone have experience or suggestions on these resources?

I have virtually no direct experience with Joomla and Drupal, but your feedback pretty much confirms my inclination to move in that direction to meet the goals of some upcoming projects.
All-in-One SEO seems to be popular on WP. Any thoughts on how it compare to SEO by Yoast?
Thanks Robert (and Rob). This is helpful stuff.

We also shifted focus away from other CMS systems in Wordpress (unless the goal of the site and traffic is built around a Blog marketing strategy), and moved to using mainly Drupal 7 at this time, but I also am a big fan of Joomla.
If I were you, take some time to look into sites build on these platforms and explore the options. They offer incredible flexibility.

We are going away from Genesis Framework as there are just too many moving parts for development.
For basic sites that do not need a lot of complexity we like WP 70% and use studiopress, themeforest, etc. We use all in one and Platinum SEO as well.
I personally like Joomla for more complexity and really think it can be more intuitive at times. My developers use it about 20 to 25% of the time. The rest we use Drupal and rarely others.
For handling myriad sites, etc. I think this is a reasonable mix. If you think your site will grow, need other functions (change from A to Ecommerce etc.) I would go with Joomla.

SEO advice on ecommerce url structure where categories contain "/c/"
Hi! We use Hybris as plattform and I would like input on which url to choose. We must keep "/c/" before the actual category. c stands for category. I.e. this current url format will be shortened and cleaned:

https://www.granngarden.se/Sortiment/Husdjur/Hund/Hundfoder-%26-Hundmat/c/hundfoder To either: a.
https://www.granngarden.se/husdjur/hund/hundfoder/c/hundfoder b.
https://www.granngarden.se/husdjur/hund/c/hundfoder (hundfoder means dogfood) The question is whether we should keep the duplicated category name (hundfoder) before the "/c/" or not. Will there be SEO disadvantages by removing the duplicate "hundfoder" before the "/c/"? I prefer the shorter version ofc, but do not want to jeopardize any SEO rankings or send confusing signals to search engines or customers due to the "/c/" breaking up the url breadcrumb. What do you guys say and prefer from the above alternatives? Thanks /Hampus0 -

Should I promote each section of my website
Hi, i have a magazine website and i have been heavily promoting the main page of the site thinking that all the work i am doing for the main page which includes links and so on would then pass onto the rest of my site but i have a feeling this is not correct. Can anyone let me know if i should be concentrating on each section of the site and also on my articles should i be promoting these articles or let the search engines pick them up. I already use facebook and twitter to promote new articles but i would like to know if i should be doing more than this

How do I resolve Twin domains? redirect website.com to www.website.com?
I am new to this website. Tried to run a campain and got a warning that website.com resolves to www.website.com which hinders SERP by competing for Keyword indexing!. (website is my domain name) Would appreciate help with this. Thanks. S.H. PS: here is the exact wording of error : We have detected that the domain www.yfvaccine.com and the domain yfvaccine.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here.

Optimal / Best Practice Title tag
Hi Guys, Am I write in saying google will take / create many variable from your title tag? Graphic, Web Design and Online Marketing in Ireland | Company Name results: Graphic Design, Web design, Web design in Ireland, Online Marketing in Ireland, Online Marketing, Graphic and Web Design, etc etc. (plus lots of long tail there as well). Would this be considered the optimal way as 'Design' is the common denominator for Graphic & Web. Then Ireland can be common to every other keyword such as Graphic design, Web design, Online Marketing. (in ireland) The reason why I ask is: lately I've notice title tags being stuffed with keywords and don't actually read correctly in the SERP My suggested way could have more benefits plus it reads well. Your thoughts, thanks.
