SEO Tips for the Repository Module.

I would like to share some thoughts on SEO for the Repository Module.

Header tags (H1, H2, H3) are the second most important onpage SEO factor that one can use to get better page ranking and organic key word search. Search Engines give signficant importance to the header tags and having your target keywords in them can do a lot of good.

If you are like me donot use any header tags in the text of the body content, or event managing existing tags in the text is an issue especially if one use outside editors. As a guide suggest the following:

More is not better!, don’t overuse! Limit each page to one H1 & 1-2 H2s, then use H3s
Limit length of heading tags; avoid words that aren’t relevant to the page’s content
Include support content after heading tags; each heading should precede a body of relevant content
Place heading tags in order. H1 should appear first in code, the H2, H3 and so on (dashboard title, then repository title then record title)

How can we achieve this with DNN Repository Module?

Use a container for the dashboard module with the h1 for the module title as such:

<div><h1><dnn:TITLE id="dnnTITLE" runat="server" /></h1></div>

Use a container for the repository module with the h2 for the module title as such:

<div><h2><dnn:TITLE id="dnnTITLE" runat="server" /></h2></div>

Add h3 tag for title of the Record on the template as such:

<h3>[TITLE]</h3>

in the template.html file in the template folder.

Use CSS to (both in the container and module CSS file) to manage the appearance of the tags, that is important or else you will get the broswer default formats for the header tags (they're ugly and huge!)

h2
{
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFFFFF;
padding-left: 25px;
}

Then wait for some time, it could be a few days or weeks and one will get better organic search results, mine increased by 20 to 30%

Appreciate if one could share some feedback on what I referred to.

Enjoy your SEOinggggggggggg
