Thanks dob. Good reference. I was particularly looking for tips for .tels as opposed to normal web sites. |
One tip I would make is to avoid excessive duplicate content with another website in the Keywords. We've seen some .tels that have dropped in the rankings due to paragraphs being copied to them from the corresponding .coms. Removing the content and creating new content for the keywords has seen them rise back up. Another minor but extremely important one is to always add a title to your .tel. Never leave it blank so that the .tel name is automatically used. Not only is it unatractive to visitors to the site it can also have an effect on your SEO. |

Never leave it blank - Aled 6. If you have a normal web site, host your images/logos for your .tel on them so that any linkjuice is to your normal sites not gravatar or someone elses. - dialaroom 7. Use a relevant description under the avatar. - suggested by maximka |
7. Use a relevant description under the avatar. By the way, today I saw my Calella_tel at first page in Bing and Yahoo searchers for a word "Calella". |
is it posible to put only once a photo, and write in all directorys? One question about avatar. Is it posible to put only one time the photo or the avatar, and that photo is put in all directorys? like google adsense, I put only one time, and it´s in all places. I´ll like the same with de avatar. libros tdah |
tindaya, as I know now you can put one avatar in a page at one time. If you want to put avatars to all pages then you need to repeat that process manually at every page. Perhaps, if you will use telmasters services, you can do this process easier - but I do not know it exactly. Besides, may be it will be not good for SEO to put the avatar with the same URL at every page of your TEL. |
maximka - No 7 added tindaya - Telmasters does have a tool fo adding avatar/logo to multiple pages/directories, however following on from maximka's tip, if you add them manually you can add a different description tag each time you do, this is another way of getting some keywords in you description. |
Thanks, I'll check it. I think the best it´s can to choose, because depend the situation that you are looking for. TDAH libros |
Don't forget about the positive effects of a sister site. |
