Tip: Optimize title tags but don’t change the url’s, since they will lead to “dead links” in google
3: Build internal link structure based on your high potential keywords and create topic pages for your top keywords • For Paywizard.org 20+ topic pages have been created, eg: • Minimum wage • Income tax • VIP salaries • Career tips • Etc. • Every new content piece is linked to the related topic pages. In this way, the topic pages become the “high authority” pages within the site structure: every page is pointing to it. • Example: backlinks from the Salary News Selection
4: Avoid Duplicate Content • Avoid Content that is very similar or duplicate of existing content on the site, or on one of the sister sites within Wageindicator! • We risk to be penalized by Google, for dozens of similar pages in the index • We should avoid putting the same content across multiple URL's. Your content might be filtered out as duplicate. • Especially duplicate title tags will lead to lower ranking and limit the number of pages in the index. Example: 13 results for the same review on variety.com
