Hello

I am working on my 2nd site which is wordpress blog. My plan is to make review site and target with my home page my "mainkeyword" and later write some articles on other pages to target long tail keywords with low searches. I already have exact match domain. Now i am trying to optimize my home page and i am a bit confused whats best for SEO. I have no idea if i should make my home displaying posts or a static page. If i make posts then title of every post is <H1> which should be keyword rich. But its kinda impossible to put in product review my main keyword.
How is the best way to do a amazon review site and optimize it for on page SEO?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

    If you want to make it posts, then you can change the theme so that it displays the titles on your index as H2 or H3.

    For me, if the review site is going to have both product reviews and related niche information then I would create pages for the reviews, static homepage, and blog posts for the niche related information.

    If you are only going to be doing product reviews, then blog posts should be fine.

      Ok so lets say i want to rank a post for some long tail keyword. And i have post displaying on my homepage plus on its own page.
      So i should build backlinks to my home page or to post itself for that long tail keyword to get it ranked?

      I read that if u install AIO SEO pack it makes canonical tag on every site which should solve problem with duplicate content. So if i check the code on my homepage, canonical tag points to my homepage, and if i check on posts own page it also points to its own page. Is this really how it should be? Because it makes more sense to me if it would point from "duplicate" page to another page that i want to get indexed/ranked.

        I'm not exactly sure how to sort the dupe issue with canonical tag. What I do is just make the homepage a static page, and use separate pages to rank the longtails. I used to create posts, but adding new posts always changed the front page.. I'd have to mess with dates/sticky posts, and I was afraid it could change rankings of the homepage. So now it's static and all is fine.

    So what if you're product reviews are on the front page as well? I think it's all for the better and recommended since your front page will give out indispensible link juice to your reviews, helping them get indexed in the start. There's no duplicate issue when titles and excerpts are concerned, so why not display your full review in the single view, while on the front page display only display the title (in H2, i recommend), with a thumbnail, maybe a rating, and small 100 words excerpt.

      Hi Lares - I would suggest you get Matt Carter's free video course. He is an Aussie and a successful physical products affiliate. He shows you how he handles this and he even gives you a real sweet theme that handles it all beautifully. He paid over $1000 to have this made, but I think he still shares it if you take his little course - which is FABULOUS!

      Hope that helps!

          So it's better to keep a static page as the homepage or have it updated with new posts everyday?

            Well i got indexed last night with having posts so i think its kinda late for any changes. I guess it works well since i am on 22th position for my main keyword after less than a day from being indexed without making any off-page SEO.
            I will try on next site with pages and experiment a bit to gain some experience what works and what not

            PS: I stil cant respond to PMs
