          I know there has been a lot of discussion lately about FAQs pages and I'm wondering when and if they are still warranted useful and what if they have positive or negative effects on page rankings. Regards, John Brown

            Thanks for asking this question - it reminded me that I still have to do this.

            QUESTION: Does it have to be called FAQ? or can it be called something else that has more to do with the keywords of the site to be effective?

              Hello! First of all, FAQs pages are quite helpful for your customers to answer even unasked questions. Secondly, if you add some keywords or phrases there, your site will be ranked much better.

              Best regards,
              Mark Black.

                Are you using FAQ schema? If you are then I would say yes - purely from a users perspective. As these questions are displayed in your search engine results and are a good prompt for clicks and extra information for the user.

                  I think that FAQ pages are very useful for SEO, especially for the Voice Search strategy. FAQ pages are often written in a conversational language, which can help us match the Voice Search intent.

                  What's more, many people include FAQ sections in their posts or product pages. They first describe their products and then answer the frequent questions. I think it is very helpful for users and SEO.

                    I think in any case they have a positive effect. I recently had to sign up for one online store site and I did not find the registration buttons. Sounds weird but it's really like that! Since I work in a writer in professional writing, I do not have time to learn other sites for registration. It would be great if organizational issues were made in FAQ.

                      The quick and dirty answer is yes, but only if they are of use to users. I saw pages on a former employers site do very well even though they were not a part of the main site. It all depends on what the content is and why you are putting it up.

                        content marketing page authority

                        I feel like I'm wasting time by going out and creating backlinks for a new page to increase page authority, especially when I've already got the domain link for domain authority. In your opinion, how important is it to go out and create back links for a page? - am I wasting time I could be using towards creating more great content? Shannon Peel

                        My keywords have low search volume - is it still worth starting a blog?

                        I'm thinking of starting a new blog, but when I did my keyword research I found that my keywords all have low search volume (under 100 searches per month, with the occasional keyword having 480 searches a month). Is this a deal breaker? Any recommendations would be great - thanks everyone!

                        At what point to stop comments on a blog? Do too many comments hurt the page?

                        I have a page that's ranking pretty well, and driving sales.  That page is starting to get 10+ comments per day and is starting to get quite long.  I was wondering if there is a point where I should disable the comments?  My gut tells me that people interacting with the page, and Google seeing responses with the users SHOULD be a good thing not bad.  But, then I think that a majority of the content of the page is no longer the article, but the comments. All the comments are good, non spammy and directly related to the topic.  People just asking questions, etc.  Good engagement, I should be happy right?

                        How do I properly sitemap a site with static pages + Wordpress in it's own directory?

                        I apologize for the awkward wording in the headline. No to the issue, I have a site with static pages that are created as follows: url.com, url.com/page1, url.com/page2, etc. I then have WordPress install at url.com/blog. What is the proper method for creating a comprehensive sitemap for my entire domain. I like the sitemap feature provided by Yoast SEO plugin but I assume it will only index the wordpress directory (url.com/blog). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

                        How do I redirect a page that no longer exists?

                        I changed the name of a blog article I wrote and the original name is giving a 404 error. I am not sure why it isn't being directed like the other articles I renamed to improve SEO. Since the webpage no longer exists, I don't know how to redirect it. I use Wordpress and Thesis. Thanks!

                        Is it possible for a website with only 20 pages to be ranked in top?

                        Hi, I want to ask is it possible for a website with about 20 pages to be ranked well in Google for keywords with middle concurency? Most of the web sites in  the top for such keywords are with much content and many pages. This is the web site: http://logos-sofia.com/ And that's are the comeptitors: https://www.google.bg/search?q=курсове+по+немски&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a

                        2,500 Word blog post? What's your advice?

                        Most of my blog posts end up being 400-600 words, sometimes more, sometimes less. I have written one that is 2,500 words this time. If it were you, would you make one huge post, or split it into two or three? Or would you say it wholly depends on my site and the type of content? As far as link bait goes, one page is better . . . I guess. But would anyone ever read a 2,500 word blog post, even it it's about a subject he/she is interested in? Additionally, what's better for SEO? Just wants some second opinions. Thanks!

                        My WebSite has two sections with overlapping, or redundant articles on the same topics. Google is only listing one or the other article in Search Results. What should I do to have both pages (similiar but unique content ) to be listed?
