E-commerce product and review pages
-
Hi,
Can somebody tell me what is the best solution for optimizing review pages of product for e-commerce site?
For now situation is this:
When somebody write review for product, url-s automatically generate for review page.
Review page has same page title, meta description (which is the product description) as product page and link with anchor (excact product name) point back to orginal product.
The problem is that I often see in SERP that actually review pages rank better than original product pages.
Regards,
Nenad

Nenad,
Without seeing the site it is harder to answer, but if it is possible to have the Schema on the actual product page, I think that would be better for you. Are you saying right now the CMS generates review schema when there is a review for a product? Or you sure you are not just using product Schema??
If you wish to PM me the domain, I will take a look and keep all confidential.
Hope it is a little help,
Robert

Thank you!

Thank you for the answer.
Yes, when someone give a review CMS automatically generate new page.
We using Schema already. I don't know it's good idea to have reviews on different URL or I should put redirect to product page (and also to have all reviews on product page)?

My suggestion would be to use review Schema as opposed to review pages. I am assuming you are using some type of CMS that is giving you a page? We use schema on a lot of different sites and find it invaluable and we believe that Google wants that adoption to take place along with other search engines. Using Schema (or another microformat) you are able to see the review on the product or service page.
Along with what ForzaHost says about reviews ranking higher, I would say that a similar page with review schema will outrank one without any day.

Hello, In my experience, reviews will usually rank higher than the product itself simply because people tend to search for reviews on what they're looking to purchase before they go looking to purchase it, that's if they already know what they're going to purchase. Thanks.

My site on desktop browser: page 2 /mobile browser: page 0
Using my two most pertinent keywords in Chome my site shows up page two. Using the same keywords on my iPhone does not show my site at all (I clicked on to page 15). I have a mobile ranking of 84 on Google PageSpeed Insights. Could be a bit higher but not enough to totally ignore my site. What am I missing?

Should a website have the same standard headings for product pages? And how does that affect SEO?
Hello! I hope my question is self-explanatory but let me give you an example. Suppose I have website X selling A, B and C and I have a dedicated page for each of those products. For SEO practises, Is it better to have the same webpage structure for all product pages (i.e. the same headings and sections) or is it better to vary the structure of the page? Or is it really not important? Again going back to the example, is it better for product page A, B and C to have the same sections in the same order (i.e. Pricing, Product Details, Product Reviews) or is it better to keep it as a flowing content page (product page A has same information in B and C but all those pages are different with different headings and questions asked depending on the product)? Many thanks!

Spammy page titles
Over the last couple of weeks, I have noticed that Google aren't showing the page titles for my online shop anymore. They're set up with a third party plug-in piece of software, and while it's an old version of the software, the developer said it wouldn't be causing issues. They have suggested that I re-write my page titles to be less spammy. The thing is, Google haven't attacked just spammy looking titles, they're just taking a swoop through my whole site and not showing any of my page titles in their search results. I'm getting "Category Name - Shop Name" showing. Here's some of the page titles no longer appearing and I honestly have no idea how to rewrite these to not be spammy. Are there any good articles on what's spammy and what isn't? "Coconut oil - best tasting in Australia. Buy online from <my business="" name="">"</my> "Discount Vitamix Blender. Best deal in Australia. Buy online from <my business="" name="">."</my> "Natural & Organic skin care for the face | buy online in Australia from <my business="" name="">."</my> There are others that are showing the real page titles, but I think it's only a matter of re-indexing before they're all not showing. Any clue?

How much copy should there be on an e-commerce category page?
I'm not looking for a precise number, obviously. I'm more interested in a general range. More text means more long-tail and synonym opportunities, but of course you don't want too much copy above the fold, pushing your products down. Maybe you can get away with a short paragraph or two at the top of the page. You can always put more copy below the products, but in a recent SEOmoz e-commerce webinar, the presenter seemed to think that was silly and unnecessary. He even suggested that the algo might intentionally ignore text below products, since it's clearly not intended to be read. What do you think?

Transition between a blog to e-commerce webshop, will my domain "lose" authority
Hi Seomoz'ers, Currently I am analyzing the best possible strategy which situation is as follow: I am having a blog with a great EMD about a specific product we are selling. The blog is currently ranking in position 1 for different keyword phrases. However I would like to make a switch from the current Wordpress blog to Magento webshop. Simply because the product should be sold through a professional webshop with many related products. Only the homepage of mydomainname.com is optimized. I am affraid I will lose my #1 ranking when I put my webstore online on this domainname. Most likely I will lose my PA and keep my DA. Which actions should I take in order to keep the ranking in Google position 1 with the new webstore? My best possible option I guess: 1. Replace the Wordpress blog with the Magento webstore and optimize the homepage with on-page seo of the webstore for the targeted keywords. Will this work? As the backlinks I've built are pointing all to the domainname.com (homepage). Thanks in advance. Any more suggestions are welcome 🙂
