website links

[eagles]

Hello all

I have a website with a massive amount of webpages and inter-links to those webpages. The problems is G and Y! don't really rank the pages with the products for sale that well and a lot of the other pages are just the same generic message that states that the product is unvailable or might be in stock, but needs to be searched manually.

What can I do to enhance my search engine rank? Should I get rid of a lot of the generic pages or no?

Hi eagles

The generic pages probably aren't the core of the problem, but if you think they're useless, maybe dump them - perhaps they're diluting the effectiveness of the more important pages on your site, but its difficult to say. Your ranking problems are maybe because you're in a very competitive field? If that's the case, you could think of adding fresh, pertinent content on a regular basis, and aim at becoming the absolute authority for your market. Taht would ensure steady links to your site.

Interlinking within a site is not a problem.
You may well have duplicate content issues on many pages; this is not necessarily a problem for you, so long as key pages are being indexed; but 'good housekeeping' says to remove as many as you can.

Plus the issue is becoming so widespread these days, that while not a penalty now, I'd make no bets about the future! -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
