the site is http://www.tritonnutrition.com I just bought this site 2-3 months ago. if do a site: search on google for it; you can see that most the urls are just that - urls with no title or description. I can't figure out why its not indexing properly. I am thinking I'm missing something very obvious about the site layout. I know the content isn't the best yet, I'm working on that.
I've browsed a lot of supplement sites and yours is one of the best looking. It is missing an affiliate program though The few things that jump out to me that may relate to your indexing problem: -- all pages have the same metas. I would get rid of the meta-description tag if you can't make it unique for the page. -- all product pages have a very similar layout and a few of them have only a little unique text.. so if your pages are 90% the same with only 10% difference, G may not think they are worth indexing. Maybe add in more description about each product? Even lifting those descriptions from parent sites, I haven't been hit with dupe penalties because the rest of my page is different enough. Though after clicking a few more products on your site, it seems you do have descriptions for most of them. It is odd that you're pages aren't cached yet they're not in the Supplemental like they are duped.
Well, I'm getting your meta description for each page. http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.tritonnutrition.com&hl=en&lr=&filter=0 I'm not sure why it is getting no further than that for the search descriptions. But you should really get some dynamic metatags going on to assist this. Doing so might get you further. Nice site.
Yes, I'd agree with vBMechanic. If you can't do generic meta tags, then get rid of the meta descriptions. Also, I've viewed a lot more pages now and you have 2 or 3 word descriptions for a LOT of your pages - not good. You've got a good site there. A bit of tweaking and I'm sure you'll be laughing.
I've ran 3 separate affiliate programs over the years on my sites. Last time, I hired a manager to run it for me and get affiliates and all that jazz too. All affiliate have brought me is a MUCH higher % of fraudulent orders than I get normally, so I've considered it not worth the hassle. I -can- set up a pseudo program within the site though if you want. I'd like to be on your supplement judge site I did not consider meta tags. This is the worst coded yahoo store I've ever dealt with. Took me about 2 hours to get the title tags to read like I wanted. It was nuts. I'll fiddle with those too. I know the section pages suck. Having a writer write something for each of those will cost me ~$1000 so that's a project for next year. The products are being worked on right now. These manufacturer supplement sites are awful to pull data from. Pictures, text, etc. I don't want to rip it from other sites so we are kinda between a rock and a hard place. The site hadn't been updated for about 6 months before we bought it, so it has a ton of discontinued stuff, which we are slowly removing too.
Is that a drop-ship store from Apollo? I'd be glad to add you to SJ.. though it may get confusing having two Tritons I'm pretty sure Yahoo doesn't give you a datafeed, right? We can start with your best selling items. Send me an email with some terms and we'll get it hooked up.. obviously I'll need direct access links into specific products; I can't work with programs that don't offer direct product links that can be formed by a script. (meaning you give me the base http://www.tritonnutrition.com/product.php?aff=1&productid= and then I can put in any product ID on the end)
No, not apollo. But I have considered contacting them, paying the $100 bucks or whatever and getting the database to see how it matches up with my vendor. Yahoo has a datafeed for all stores: http://www.tritonnutrition.com/tritonnutrition/objinfo.xml The link I could provide would be something like this: http://store.yahoo.com/tritonntutrion+ASDFAbaf234+pagename.html It'd track off that.
