“Dynamic” navigation with internal 301 redirects

WEBSITE ARCHITECTURE ISSUES

SEOgadget.co.uk
Use Google queries
Start with site:yourdomain.tld
Check specific URL groups and if ok, remove
Continue to break down by subfolder and
intitle – look at every “theme” on your site
Inspiration – draw your site architecture and
use as a URL guide. Think content groups.
SEOgadget.co.uk
Use Google Queries
What are we looking out for?

You end up with:

SEOgadget.co.uk
Use Google Queries
Sense check the number of indexed pages
Drill down using inurl: intitle: and filetype:
Check for legacy filetypes and old documents

Look for
.jsp, .php, .htm, .html, .asp, .doc, .ppt, .pdf
SEOgadget.co.uk
Yahoo site explorer
Download the first 1000 indexed URLs

Crawl list with Xenu – you’ll be
surprised!
Use “maximum level” set to 0

SEOgadget.co.uk
Canonicals checklist
This is still a problem on big sites!

Trailing slashes (on or off, just not both)

Rel=“canonical”
Add this <link> tag to specify your preferred
version:
<link rel="canonical"
href="http://www.example.com/product.php?i
tem=swedish-fish" />

Helps to solve this problem but not the
answer!

Fix duplicate content
Make sure your internal links are consistent
• Sitemaps, content and navigational links all lower case
• 301 redirect your www – decide which way and stick to it
• 301 your trailing slash in or out and stick to it

Hide analytics and tracking with onclick
Noindex,follow your paginated pages

SEOgadget.co.uk
Web server header checklist
Get HttpFox for Firefox (http://bit.ly/skQYG)

Test internal pages give the correct response
– Particularly your 404 error page...

Introducing an awesome combination of SEO
tools....
SEOgadget.co.uk
Mozlabs
“Top pages on
Domain”
+ Httpfox

9th Most linked to page is a 404
280 Linking Roots, Linkscape May 2009

SEOgadget.co.uk
Other web server stuff:
Is your web server configured to use host
headers correctly? http://bit.ly/13nmlp

SEOgadget.co.uk
Is your development server
indexed?
Don’t leak your staging URLs into Google!

SEOgadget.co.uk
Tracking URLS
For sites that sell clicks or leads to advertisers
http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/visit.asp?v=Argos&u=ht
tp://www.|ksrv%60%60%60/click-10816655590799%ACurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eargos%2Eco%2Euk

SEOgadget.co.uk
Content churn
Handle your product / jobs pages nicely

Pages respond with a
200 server header, no
content on
page, <title> and
meta description are
gone

SEOgadget.co.uk
SEOgadget.co.uk
Content churn: recruitment site
Keep your pages alive, but make the user
experience valuable

The vacancy’s been
placed, but we’ve got
plenty of others!

You just have to solve the internal linking
problem
SEOgadget.co.uk
“Dynamic” navigation
Navigational links point to:
– /content/dynamic.asp?nodeid=237

Which 301 redirects to:
– /project-management-pmo-jobs/

AND has a session ID in the URL

Avoid internal 301 redirects
