  • 23. 12 Klikki Site architecture to support indexation So make sure you deploy a site architecture that supports indexing your website for as many relevant queries as possible! With a natural landing page for each of them!
  • 24.
  • 25. 15 Klikki Duplicate content, pagination This is just too many products in one list! Seriously! Only two new pagination pages per page. Reaching number 61 is going to take ages.....
  • 26.
  • 27. Optimize titles on deeper pagination pages “Page 3 of 13 in Category name”
  • 28. Delete the meta description on deeper pagination pages
  • 29. Have unique text on the top pagination page
  • 30. Always link back to the top pagination page from the deeper ones.
  • 31. Put the newest addition first in the list
  • 32. Whatever you do, don’t start messing around with blocking pagination pages from crawling, or using the canonical tag. It will end in misery.

  • 35. 24.2.2008 19 Klikki Takeaways – Use tagging and categories to relate content Ingredient names are links to pages listing all recipes using that specific ingredient + some basic information
  • 36. 24.2.2008 20 Klikki Takeaways – Link to other related content from within the body text Relevant links from within the body text are the most valuable of all links. Especially when using keyword rich anchor text
  • 37. 24.2.2008 21 Klikki Takeaways – Don’t create site-wide navigation menus Site-wide navigation menus are not good since they dilute link power to, more or less, irrelevant pages.
