Lower case and SEO
-
Hi
I have a client who wants his whole site to be in lower case with the exception of his company name. Absolutely everything.
I just want to check whether or not this will effect the way Google sees the site?
Does anyone have any idea?
........ and do you have any experience or data to support your views?
Thank you

Many thanks for your input - and I agree with you with regards to how Google might see the content, and why I asked the question.
Google know what content people hang about and browse and are clever enough to know if a 'style' puts people off. So what may be my clients 'visual' comfort zone is probably not the majority of the prospects he is trying to reach.
But, if all else fails Marks suggestion is a compromise.
Thanks again

Thanks Mark
Your answer is very helpful - and one I shall adopt if the client insists.
However, it begs the question - if Google might see this as a poor quality content (my initial concern) then they have a reason for that and know what engages the web browser - and whilst having text with no caps is in my clients 'visual' comfort zone it might not be the same for those he is trying to sell to!
Thanks and again and best wishes

Mark's suggestion was quite good and yes I would say if the site isn't written properly (putting caps where they should be) google might see it as a sign of poor quality content.
All the best.

Why not write the content normally and use css to style the text to force lowercase - this way it shows up in the engines and to other crawlers as readable and normal text, while it displays in the browser to humans as lowercase? that's what I would do

SEO for replicated website system
I have a client who has 750 agents. They want to provide them all with a website on a subdomain (mysite.domain.com). The sites will all contain basically the same info, however, this info can be customized on each site by each rep. Most of these reps sell pretty much the same thing, so the customization wont be very dramatic. So the question is, how can we build this replicated website system and deliver SEO value to each site?

Does homepage SEO exist at all?
hi Just read a Yoast article explaining that the homepage should never be optimized for a specific keyword and should only be optimized for its business or brand name. i have a large site that I'd like to rank (or increase traffic for as I know people get irritated with that term now) for 'Campervan hire'. It has plenty of sub pages going after 'Campervan hire 'location'' for example. it makes sense to me for the homepage keyword - my core keyword - to be 'Campervan hire' and for the homepage to be optimised for this. However, the article I've just read (https://yoast.com/homepage-seo/) suggests a separate page for this keyword. What are your thoughts pls?? thanks

SEO capability on web pages v blog posts
firstly, apologies if this is a daft question, I am very new to this! We are about to launch a new website (very exciting) and our CEO is mad about incorprating a "tag cloud" because it looks good! Our web designer therefore has to convert all our web pages to "posts" in order for the tag cloud to pick up the "tagged" words associated with the specific pages (soon to be posts). Question: With regards to SEO, will the change from "web page" to "post" have any positive or negative effects? Thanks in advance
