Your advice will help OP, but it's sad to see it on here.
Adding content to sites that don't need it ruins the experience. Don't build for the bot, build for humans.
SEO is a cancer on the web. A few days ago Google directed me to a recipe for a particular type of bread. I swear I had to scroll through the authors entire life story... how their grandmother handed down this recipe from her grandmothers mother, how it feels to make you own bread, how to save your sanity with bread, how best to store bread.
The recipe at the very bottom of the page could have fit neatly above the fold.
Here are two options for OP, either of which will improve his website, unlike your suggestion: https://i.imgur.com/9VlBguW.png https://i.imgur.com/9VlBguW.png
- skunkworker 6y agoThis 100% with looking for recipes. I understand that they need a lot of "rich content" in order to improve SEO rankings, but when it takes a good 20 seconds to scroll on a phone, past 3 inline ads just to get to the recipe, it's beyond frustrating.
- jabo 6y agoHere's a recipe search site I built not too long ago that shows you just the recipe: https://recipe-search.typesense.org/ https://recipe-search.typesense.org/
- schemathings 6y agoMy understanding with recipe sites is the copy isn't really for SEO as much as it is to have something you can copyright, because recipes in isolation can't be.
- markdown 6y agoBut anyone can still legally copy the recipe (the ingredients and how to combine them) and ignore the superfluous content.
