          Does really page size affect the results in search engines? And, what is the maximum in this case?

                  It's not the size of the page that matters - it's the speed the page is  downloaded on the user's device that matters (although there is of course a relation between these two). In general people expect a site to load in 2/3 seconds. There is an interesting article about that on the kissmetrics site: https://blog.kissmetrics.com/speed-is-a-killer/ - with a lot of useful resources & links. If you do search here on moz you'll probably find a lot of useful info as well. I think with the increasing focus on mobile, speed will become more important as ranking factor.

                  To be more specific on the size, according to this article - the average page size for the top-1000 websites is increasing and was 1600K in July '14. There is a negative correlation between page size & number of visits (no surprise). I would certainly not go above the 1600K (even this number seems already quite high for me)

                  rgds,

                  Dirk

                    About ten years ago I produced a collection of pages that contained definitions of about fifty words and one photo with a short caption.  They pulled in a bit of traffic.  Since then I have been upgrading these pages.  They were initially improved to about 500 words and two or three graphics, then most were  improved to long articles of between 1000 and 2000 words with data tables, photos and graphics.   Each time I have upgraded them their performance has improved.  These improvements have been in rankings and also in traffic.  A fifty word article does not have much keyword diversity but a 2000 word article has lots of different words to pull in long-tail traffic.

                    Does size matter?  My answer is a definite YES.

                    Does size produce ROI?   That's more difficult to answer.   I can produce 50 words and a photo with caption in under an hour.  Improving that to 500 words might take me a day.  Producing a comprehensive article of 2000 words with eight to ten images and data tables might take three or four days.  The longer your article gets the more research you have to do and the longer that research takes because with length you can be digging into info obscura.  I would not want to improve these to 15,000 words because that would require an awful lot of work, people would not read the entire thing and I don't think that the traffic yield would pay back my time.

                    I conclude that I make decent money with the 500 to 2000 word articles (sometimes up to 4000 words for some topics)  and that's what I am sticking with.  If one of these articles is pulling in massive traffic, I often write additional articles on subtopics.  These are great for listing on the page as "additional readings".   They pull in traffic from search and they get additional pageviews from people who are already on the website.

                    ADDED:   SEO performance is going to be influenced by visitor engagement and sharing.  Both of those will not happen with low quality content.  So content quality is more important than word count.   I have some pages that consist of a few hundred words and one good image.  One of these pages gets millions of visits per year.  It has nothing to do with length.  The image is great, the content is good, the search volume is massive and this page ranks well.

                      Phone number for SEO

                      We have had an interesting question from a client. They have asked if removing their phone number from their website would have an affect on their rankings. Our immediate answer was 'No' but it may affect the Brand, Usability and Customer experience by restricting the methods of contact. This then made us think that perhaps then it could have an effect in the long term. This situation is also complicated by the fact that they do not have a Google Local Plus account for operational, sensitivity reasons (they don't want to openly publicise their address) We believe that there shouldn't be any negative affect but thought we would open a discussion. Thanks in advance for any comments/ideas.

                      SVG image files causing multiple title tags on page - SEO issue?

                      Does anyone have any experience with SVG image files and on-page SEO? A client is using them and it seems they use the title tag in the same way a regular image (JPG/PNG) would use an image ALT tag. I'm concerned that search engines will see the multiple title tags on the page and that this will cause SEO issues. Regular crawlers like Moz flag it as a second title tag, however it's outside the header and in a SVG wrap so the crawlers really should understand that this is a SVG title rather than a second page title. But is this the case? If anyone has experience with this, I'd love to hear about it.

                      Listing all services on one page vs separate pages per service

                      My company offers several generalized categories with more specific services underneath each category. Currently the way it's structured is if you click "Voice" you get a full description of each voice service we offer. I have a feeling this is shooting us in the foot. Would it be better to have a general overview of the services we offer on the "Voice" page that then links to the specified service? The blurb about the service on the overview page would be unique, not taken from the actual specific service's page.

                      Home page and category page target same keyword

                      Hi there, Several of our websites have a common problem - our main target keyword for the homepage is also the name of a product category we have within the website. There are seemingly two solutions to this problem, both of which not ideal: Do not target the keyword with the homepage. However, the homepage has the most authority and is our best shot at getting ranked for the main keyword. Reword and "de-optimise" the category page, so it doesn't target the keyword. This doesn't work well from UX point of view as the category needs to describe what it is and enable visitors to navigate to it. Anybody else gone through a similar conundrum? How did you end up going about it? Thanks Julian

                      SEO value of "in the news" links on home page?

                      Notice more sites have an "in the News" section on the home page, or something similar like press releases... Apart from providing users fresh content, is there an SEO value to this?  What is the explanation for this? Have a feeling the answer is obvious but just not too sure Thanks a lot.

                      Avoiding "Duplicate Page Title" and "Duplicate Page Content" - Best Practices?

                      We have a website with a searchable database of recipes. You can search the database using an online form with dropdown options for: Course (starter, main, salad, etc)
                      Cooking Method (fry, bake, boil, steam, etc)
                      Preparation Time (Under 30 min, 30min to 1 hour, Over 1 hour) Here are some examples of how URLs may look when searching for a recipe: find-a-recipe.php?course=starter
                      find-a-recipe.php?course=main&preperation-time=30min+to+1+hour
                      find-a-recipe.php?cooking-method=fry&preperation-time=over+1+hour There is also pagination of search results, so the URL could also have the variable "start", e.g. find-a-recipe.php?course=salad&start=30 There can be any combination of these variables, meaning there are hundreds of possible search results URL variations. This all works well on the site, however it gives multiple "Duplicate Page Title" and "Duplicate Page Content" errors when crawled by SEOmoz. I've seached online and found several possible solutions for this, such as: Setting canonical tag Adding these URL variables to Google Webmasters to tell Google to ignore them Change the Title tag in the head dynamically based on what URL variables are present However I am not sure which of these would be best. As far as I can tell the canonical tag should be used when you have the same page available at two seperate URLs, but this isn't the case here as the search results are always different. Adding these URL variables to Google webmasters won't fix the problem in other search engines, and will presumably continue to get these errors in our SEOmoz crawl reports. Changing the title tag each time can lead to very long title tags, and it doesn't address the problem of duplicate page content. I had hoped there would be a standard solution for problems like this, as I imagine others will have come across this before, but I cannot find the ideal solution. Any help would be much appreciated. Kind Regards
