To hot to do much today so I though I might play around with my new blog and see how it works and stuff.
This week I have been trying to do a bit of SEO on my bike shorts and bike bibs pages. There is a lot of good help available for small DIY SEO out there.
Two of my favourite SEO blogs are Hobo and SEO Design Solutions.
Using guidelines mainly from these 2 blogs I have checked my keywords, spruced up my content to include the same and have provided a siloing effect by linking each product , eg bike short 1, bike short 2 , etc to the first sub category , which is bike shorts & bibs.
I have not checked the Google ranking of the individual products – should of really – but have checked my ranking for my main keywords – and they were not to good. Out of 6 keywords I am ranking 22, 43,60 , >100,>100, and >100..and thats only in google.com.au (australia). So I have heaps of work to do and am busting to see how these first few rankings go.
One thing I am a bit confused about- in a Shopping Cart – as I use in my online store- each product links to a subcategory ie bike shorts 1 1, bike shorts 2, etc all link to a subcategory = bike shorts and bibs – and this links upwards again to the next bigger category etc., thus passing on link juice from each product upto the main categories? So should,t this be enough linking??
I suppose there will hopefully be some gain due to the use of keyword modifiers as I was linking through the use of anchor text.
Anyway if any reader can suggest other good self SEO sites, especially for small online CMS type stores -let me know.
