          Dear Experts!

          I need your help with pointing me in the right direction. So far I have found scattered tips around the Internet but it's hard to make a full picture with all these bits and pieces of information without a professional advice. My primary goal is to understand how I should build my online travel agency web-site’s (https://qualistay.com) structure, so that I target my keywords on correct pages and do not create a duplicate content.

          In my particular case I have very similar properties in similar locations in Tenerife. Many of them are located in the same villa or apartment complex, thus, it is very hard to come up with the unique description for each of them. Not speaking of amenities and pricing blocks, which are standard and almost identical (I don’t know if Google sees it as a duplicate content).

          From what I have read so far, it’s better to target archive pages rather than every single property. At the moment my archive pages are:

          • all properties (includes all property types and locations),
          • a page for each location (includes all property types).

          Does it make sense adding archive pages by property type in addition OR in stead of the location ones if I, for instance, target separate keywords like 'villas costa adeje' and 'apartments costa adeje'? At the moment, the title of the respective archive page "Properties to rent in costa adeje: villas, apartments" in principle targets both keywords...

          Does using the same keyword in a single property listing cannibalize archive page ranking it is linking back to? Or not, unless Google specifically identifies this as a duplicate content, which one can see in Google Search Console under HTML Improvements and/or archive page has more incoming links than a single property?

          If targeting only archive pages, how should I optimize them in such a way that they stay user-friendly. I have created (though, not yet fully optimized) descriptions for each archive page just below the main header. But I have them partially hidden (collapsible) using a JS in order to keep visitors’ focus on the properties. I know that Google does not rank hidden content high, at least at the moment, but since there is a new algorithm Mobile First coming up in the near future, they promise not to punish mobile sites for a collapsible content and will use mobile version to rate desktop one. Does this mean I should not worry about hidden content anymore or should I move the descirption to the bottom of the page and make it fully visible?

          Your feedback will be highly appreciated!

          Thank you!

          Dmitry

                This structure and strategy will help your online travel agency stand out in a competitive market and provide a superior experience for your customers.

                Below is a response to the query about the best website architecture, SEO strategies and tactics for an electronic tourism company:

                1. Website Structure:

                • Homepage: Introduce yourself and your agency, express your main services and provide easily navigable site.
                • Destinations: Each separate page is meant for the travel destination you provide with rich content and appealing pictures.
                • Tours/Packages: Make sure there is a specific tour/package section with prices, programs of trips and their status.
                • For booking or contacting us, provide an interactive booking form that is easy to use together with several contact options(phone, chat, and email) to enable for queries or help from customers.
                • The blog should have few words but should contain travelling tips, tourist information from selected destination points and what is happening at your agency, hence it should engage every visitor to improve Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
                • Trust is created by showing customer reviews and testimonials giving them confidence in your services.
                • In order to enrich the lives of your clients by forming friendships as they worked with us personally, you need to tell them more about yourself as well as where you have come from in terms of history and what you want us accomplish as a group.

                1. SEO Strategy:

                • Key phrase method is the first thing you must do in SEO. Start by recognizing all those phrases travelers are using to search for travel services or products.

                • Optimize title tags, meta descriptions, headers, and alt text for images with targeted keywords to assist in on-page optimization.

                • Your blog should always have high-quality and informative content that incorporates target keywords for effective content creation.

                • Strategic linking between pages and posts on your site will improve navigation as well as search engine optimization.

                • To boost your site's authority, you should generate quality backlinks from renowned travel-related websites.
                • For better user experience and ranking purposes, you must optimize your website for mobile devices.

                In a competitive marketplace, this structure and strategy can make your online travel site unique while at the same time offering an enhanced experience for clients.

                Yours truly,
                [Sanskar Gupta]

                    I am working on my website(https://www.dejourneys.com) , and found that some of the websites like yelp.com and other similar ones required a USA number and address.

                    How can I get a strong link from those websites and are there any other ones that can help me get strong backlinks for my travel agency?

                    Regards,
                    Raheel.

                      Hi,

                      Cool question! I previously ran a startup that was essentially an aggregator, something similar to an OTA, but we were aggregating classes instead of properties/homestays. I found that the best way to structure the site was some thing like this:

                      1. Home (Targeting the biggest, baddest keyword you can find)
                      https://qualistay.com/

                      1.2 Category pages
                      Broad keywords in each category (in your case, 'tenerife south apartments for rent' etc)
                      You currently have this as https://qualistay.com/properties/tenerife/ 
                      I'd have gone with creating multiple 'category' pages like 
                      https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/apartments
                      https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/villas
                      https://qualistay.com/tenerife-north/apartments
                      https://qualistay.com/tenerife-north/villas

                      1.2.1 Sub-Category pages
                      Still relatively broad, but more specific keywords
                      You didn't choose to sub-categorize these pages even more, but here's what I would have done:
                      https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/apartments/adeje
                      https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/villas/adeje
                      https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/apartments/arico
                      https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/villas/arico
                      https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/apartments/granadilla-de-abona

                      1.2.1.1 Property pages
                      Specific keywords
                      https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/villas/playa-de-las-americas/villa-victoria
                      These pages would tend be targeting the so-called 'brand keyword' of each individual property.

                      Structuring your site this was enables you to include the targeted keywords in your URLs and enables you to rank almost every single page efficiently based purely on the location of each property. In this manner, you would be able to rank for the top tier keywords which I'm guessing is 'tenerife villas' and 'tenerife apartments', the 2nd tier keywords which would be 'tenerife south villas for rent', 'tenerife south apartments for rent' and the 3rd tier keywords which would be 'playa de las americas villas for rent'. You also get the benefit of ranking for each individual property's 'brand name' like 'villa victora tenerife south'.

                      If the property happens to fall on the same building, then you can sub-categorize it even further like 
                      https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/villas/playa-de-las-americas/villa-victoria/level-1
                      https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/villas/playa-de-las-americas/villa-victoria/level-2

                      Hope this helps!

                        Multiple CMS on one website / domain & SEO

                        For a client we would like to work with a content hub, but their website is build on a custom CMS so we are limited in our options and if we aks their web developers they ask crazy prices to help us.  So now we have the idea to build the content hub with wordpress and implement it next to their current CMS. for example on www.website.com/contenthub/ . As far as i know this is technically possible and there are no negative effects regarding SEO as long as we link the two sitemaps together. Am i right or am i missing something here?

                        Google Indexed a version of my site w/ MX record subdomain

                        We're doing a site audit and found "internal" links to a page in search console that appear to be from a subdomain of our site based on our MX record.  We use Google Mail internally.  The links ultimately redirect to our correct preferred subdomain "www", but I am concerned as to why this is happening and if it can have any negative SEO implications. Example of one of the links: Links aspmx3.googlemail.com.sullivansolarpower.com/about/solar-power-blog/daniel-sullivan/renewable-energy-and-electric-cars-are-not-political-footballs I did a site operator search, site:aspmx3.googlemail.com.sullivansolarpower.com on google and it returns several results.

                        Are links in menus to external sites bad for SEO?

                        We're building a blog on a subdomain of the main site. The main site is on Shopify and the blog will be on wordpress. I'd like to keep the user experience as simple as possible so I'd like to make the blog look exactly like the main Shopify site. This means having a menu in the blog that duplicates the Shopify menu. So is it bad for SEO to have someone click on the 'about us' button in the blog subdomain (blog.mainsite.com) which takes you to the 'about us page' on the main shopify website (mainsite.com)?

                        Can you have a /sitemap.xml and /sitemap.html on the same site?

                        Thanks in advance for any responses; we really appreciate the expertise of the SEOmoz community! My question: Since the file extensions are different, can a site have both a /sitemap.xml and /sitemap.html both siting at the root domain? For example, we've already put the html sitemap in place here: https://www.pioneermilitaryloans.com/sitemap Now, we're considering adding an XML sitemap. I know standard practice is to load it at the root (www.example.com/sitemap.xml), but am wondering if this will cause conflicts. I've been unable to find this topic addressed anywhere, or any real-life examples of sites currently doing this. What do you think?

                        Structuring URL's for better SEO

                        Hello, We were rolling our fresh urls for our new service website. Currently we have our structure as www.practo.com/health/dental/clinic/bangalore We like to have it as www.practo.com/health/dental-clinic-bangalore Can someone advice us better which one of the above structure would work out better and why? Should this be a focus of attention while going ahead since this is like a search engine platform for patients looking out for actual doctors. Thanks, Aditya

                        NoIndex/NoFollow pages showing up when doing a Google search using "Site:" parameter

                        We recently launched a beta version of our new website in a subdomain of our existing site. The existing site is www.fonts.com with the beta living at new.fonts.com. We do not want Google to crawl the new site until it's out of beta so we have added the following on all pages: However, one of our team members noticed that google is displaying results from new.fonts.com when doing an "site:new.fonts.com" search (see attached screenshot). Is it possible that Google is indexing the content despite the noindex, nofollow tags? We have double checked the syntax and it seems correct except the trailing "/". I know Google still crawls noindexed pages, however, the fact that they're showing up in search results using the site search syntax is unsettling. Any thoughts would be appreciated! DyWRP.png

                        Best geotargeting strategy: Subdomains or subfolders or country specific domain

                        How have the relatively recent changes in how G perceives subdomains changed the best route to onsite geotargeting i.e. not building out new country specific sites on country specific and hosted domains and instead developing sub-domains or sub-folders and geo-targeting those via webmaster tools ? In other words, given the recent change in G perception, are sub-domains now a better option than a sub-folder or is there not much in it ? Also if client has a .co.uk and they want to geo-target say France, is the sub-domain/sub-folder route still an option or is the .co.uk still too UK specific, and these options would only work using a .com ? In other words can sites on country specific domains (.co.uk , .fr, .de etc etc) use sub-folders or domains to geo-target other countries or do they have no option other than to develop new country specific (domains/hosting/language) websites ? Any thoughts regarding current best practice in this regard much appreciated.  I have seen last Febs WBF which covers geotargeting in depth but the way google perceives subdomains has changed since then Many Thanks Dan
