Per-Page Optimization
You can specify the page title and meta data for every category and page on your website, giving you complete control over the keywords you want to rank for. |
SEO-Friendly Links
All pages on your website use SEO-friendly links which make it easy for search engine spiders to find and then index the content of your pages.
Links are not prefixed with keywords such as /articles/ or /blogs/ - the title of the content item is the only thing which appears in the URL, such as:
http://www.example.com/my-title-text-goes-here.html
This increases keyword proximity in URLs and helps you rank better in all search engines. Spaces are replaced with dashes for optimal ranking. |
