Besides about, contact and privacy links, which others does google like?

[ggmi]

Hi,

I'm about to finish 5 new micro niche, 5 page websites. I'm in the finishing touches for onpage SEO and recall reading that google likes to see certain webpages included in every website, obviously besides the content of what the website is about.

I currently always include these:

• about us (a little about us)
• contact us (a contact form)
• privacy policy (adsense collecting geo info, etc.)

But I remember seeing some others google likes to find. Do you guys know which others you recommend to include?

This isn't specific to pages but try to reduce bounce rate by having some videos as well as images. Also, if you are trying to get listed in directories, having a physical address is useful. Other pages that can be useful include having a faq page and a sitemap.

ggmi,

Depending on the niche you may want to add a disclosure policy.

This is more for the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) than for Google.

Hi Yogini,

Thanks! now that you brought bounce rate up, do you know how it's measured? Is there a time limit that catalogs a visit as a bounce?

I'm monetizing my niche sites with affiliate products, so yes, I think the disclosure policy is much needed. I'm gonna add this link to all my affiliate money sites.

Thanks for the link!

Hi Ggmi,

This article goes a bit into bounce rates and panda:

Also, all these articles on searchenginewatch go into bounce rate.

Linking within your site to relevant articles is also a good way to keep people involved in your site and not clicking the back button into the search engine listings (assuming you have good content).
