I have a website that I work for and it needs to rank in easy keywords. I think many of the keywords we want to rank for are easy. Do I need to enable a blog and target keywords to a few blog pages to rank? Versus trying to rank the individual pages or category pages with there corresponding keywords?

Welcome to Vita Vibe, Inc. - USA Made Ballet Barres, Fitness & Gymnastics Equipment

What can we do to help rank in some long tail keywords?

I know about backlinks and such. I just wonder if I need to backlink to blog posts with keyword rich articles since we are mainly an eCommerce site.

I could make the blog posts about a few keywords then backlink to them to get them to rank since I could put actual content on those pages without messing up my theme and flow of the sales pages.

    You can do it that way, you don't need to. You could just add pages. You could add more content on your e-commerce pages. You will not get arrested if you posted a full article, for instance, on this page Professional Aluminum Barre Material, for instance.

    I know, I know, it's not done. But you can do it. Amazon.com does it.

    An eCommerce site doesn't need silly articles. You need good site structure, optimized internal pages/links and decent followed backlink profile.

    If I'm shopping for new shoes I don't care who invented shoes, I don't need Wikipedia, I need descriptive product images and product details (what do I get for my money?).

      So what does this site need? I just started working here. The articles would just be for ranking to bring in traffic. Are yall saying we just need to add more content to our descriptions with more keywords?

        That's what I'm saying.

        If your traffic wants/needs articles fine, create articles but a site doesn't need articles just to rank pages.

        Do like you said If needed, expand on the product description per each page.

        FAQ questions/answers can be very useful for SEO and traffic. I see the site/link in OP already has a product FAQ so add legit content there If needed for more keywords per page.

        This way you're not junking up the page and distracting traffic from the sales funnel (Buy Button).

    This image is a snapshot of our content pages. I am correct to assume that it would be better to have the content all on one page, at least the relevant content I want to help me rank with? I am not sure google even can see the content on those other tabs. Am I correct to assume that?

      Yes, Google can see the tabbed content on your pages (good question). Your HTML source code is showing plain text wrapped in <div>s, so your good there (HTML instead of javascript tabs).

      I've checked the text version of one of your product pages with a web/dev browser plugin that is good for simulating Google cache text/versions of webpages. Tab content all shows up as plain text.

      Your pages haven't been recached (Google cache text version) since May so I'm guessing you've recently added most/all of the tabbed content/text.

    This amazon product I randomly brought up has quite a lot of content within one tab. For us, we have all of our content in several tabs. I was just wondering what is best. I am guessing you want it so that the buyer does not get distracted. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...f_rd_i=desktop

    Yes, this site has only been up a month or less. I just started working here and now its going to be my job to make it rank better in google and just be more efficient.

    I guess I can just add more content to the tabs then to help it rank better. I think the content is rather shallow at the moment.
