Can someone explain to me the definition of a Pure SEO website? I saw this forum and it caught my eye. So I am here to learn more about Pure seo cms. Are there tutorials out there on on pure seo cms? I did see that xxxxxxx.com (no names please) hosting is good to use.
Answer
the following feaures are important and included in our software.
1. Update content quickly.
Firstly all CMS packages are generally better thanWYSIWYG sites. Google likes lots of good, regularly updated content and a CMS will make better sites easier to make. However, while larger CMS packages do have more features they can sometimes be slower to set up and manage content.
1a. Getting traffic is a numbers game and Black hat CMS systems can create hundreds of sites per day just from typing in the keywords. They do this by stripping and reworking text from existing sites.
1b. Others concentrate on letting people create lots of good content very quickly, possibly from existing company content sources such as spreadsheets or data files.
2. Well structured content.
Each page must have well structured content so Google can tell what the site is about e.g. a text title, summary and description using the H1, H2, H3 tags.
3. Good Meta titles
The CMS must allow different meta titles and descriptions on every page that explain what that page is about. Allowing these to be taken from page content can save time. The same goes for picture descriptions and link titles.
4. Good navigation
Automatic menu generators ensure that links are constantly updated. Well structured text links also make sure the search engines can find all pages.
5. Doc types and web standards
Not designing to modern standards won't impress Google and CSS clears the page and makes content easier for spiders to find. Old table based sites will also load more slowly.
6. Lightweight pages.
When you've generated lots of traffic you need fast, low bandwidth pages to ensure the site speed is maintained. Some CMS systems create static pages rather than slower dynamic ones.
7. Content sharing
Often CMS systems have built in RSS feeds for distributing content, tagging or promoting content in digg, stumble etc.
Avoid database driven cms that don't have searchable menu links e.g. page names that search engines can find when spidering.
Some people think it's useful to put keywords in page names with a'-' or '_' separating each word so that search engines will give more rating to the link. I'm not sure I agree but prefer systems that use consistent page names such as A B and C.htm, that way when content changes or gets significantly moved the pages remain index.
When counting menu links it's good to use /subdirectory/ or subdirectory/index.htm but not both. More counts means it's more important.
All systems must produce a good sitemap. Google XML sitemaps are not particularly required if it's a fairly flat site but worthwhile for large – multilevel sites.
It's taken a while but I have finally come
round to looking at Google Analytics (as have recently signed up to
Adwords) but have found that the script below wasn't added to our pages.
I have tried to do it but the script appears at the top of the web page
rather than embedded. Can you tell me how I go about this
Answer
Yes google anlytics is well worth it.
Go to google.co.uk/analytics/ to sign up
You need to save the script at the bottom of the template. go to the style editor
section and select the template. Add the code before the body tag at the bottom of the page and save the template.
backup your template first. The setup screen will tell you where it's saved.
I am doing a site in swedish and have some problems with autogenerated texts that I can't translate to swedish.
Next page / previous page
Hoover information like "Top menu access to ..."
Hoover information like "Sub Section menu access to ..."
Copyright text
This seems to be hardcoded by SEO CMS down to every page upon compilation. Can I change these texts somewhere?
Answer
you can change the text to any language by altering the template. The templates include the below snippet of code:
[div id="ddmenu" class="topmenutext"]
[ul][!--Begin top menu section--]
[li][a title="Top menu access to [!--Tmenuname.value--]" tabindex="[!--@GroupTnumber--]" accesskey="[!--@GroupTnumber--]" href="[!--Tmenupage.value--]" [/a][/li]
You just need to change the title value "Top menu access to" to "Accès supérieur de menu à" for a French translation in the top menu, sorry don't know the Swedish equivalent
Sub Section menu has the same solution as above
Next Page / Previous page can be changed by modifying the page navigation file in the default directory.
Copyright text can be changed in the template, take a look at the code snippet below:
All you need change is Copyright all rights reserved ..... to your Swedish equivalent.
I purchased your Pro version and it's my understanding that I can create as many sites as I want.
However, the application will not allow me to create a new site.
Also, I am unable to find older versions. I am very confused about how to save a site or locate it. Although I attempt to backup the data, all is lost and I have to start over from scratch!
Answer
There should not be a problem creating extra sites.
go to setup and select project setup.
the top project button will allow you to create a new project.
You must create a new website project for each site and apply templates and build to locations for that. No data will be lost.
If the top two lines are not open and you can't create extra projects then please contact via the website form and we'll check your order and registration code.
How do I add PDFs to my site
Answer
Save the pdfs in a file within your website folder e.g. the build to folder shown in the setup screen. Add it to root folder or the picts perhaps.
Then link to that file from with in SEO CMS add Hyperlink, so it opens in the local test site.
Now upload the new site with link and pdf.
If you don't see the pdf then this is what may be going wrong.
The upload has limits so you may be outside of them.
Go to upload then setttings.
You'll see a list of extensions and pdf should be there but also ckeck the files size is large enough to work. ie bigger than your file size.
We usually add an extra download folder and put pdfs in that but then you have to create that folder on your server and add it to the upload settings folder list, which can be more tricky.
