Changing around my On-Site... opinions on SEO impact?

AudioRoxor · 12-13-2011, 09:40 AM

So, I have 20 very new Amazon physical product affiliate sites. All of which I'm putting my heart and soul into to make sure they're user friendly, provide value, look good, drops bounces rates, and all of the above.

Some of these changes have me moving a couple pages around (content stays the same), changing the way the navigation works, etc.

Now, I'm a some-what believer of "first impressions matter" to Google and On-Site SEO... Most of these sites aren't even 3 months old yet.

Am I playing with fire? I'm in this for the long term.

Any opinions would be great.

If you're just changing links structure around and not messing with the url structure or creating any bad links by mistake..then you should be fine. As long as you stick with the basics of SEO and stay all white-hat then you should be fine when moving stuff around like that.

Like Tyler said, make sure you aren't creating any 404s by moving stuff around. Sign up for Google Webmasters ... they will tell you if they encounter any uncrawlable pages on your site.

I had kind of the same thing happen with my newest site. I used one Wordpress theme that was HORRIBLE for SEO, and Google crawled a bunch of pages that eventually all got removed. I redirected all those pages (using the Redirection wordpress plugin), and now I am moving up the SERPs with no problem.
