Dumb question - but I have to ask anyway

    Hi there

    I'm looking to buy a template which is a "one page website" LINK.

    Can you tell me if this is SEO friendly or even better, which are the pros & cons compared to a "conventional" site with different html pages


    thanks in advance

    Judging by the source code that comes up... I'm going to say it's terrible for seo.

    Don't see too many one page sites doing well with SEO.

    ... Actually, haven't seen any.

    That was the reason for my question.

    Is there a way to improve SEO under those circumstances ?

    Also I think it has some sort of HTML code protection or something similar right now

    Well a large part of SEO, is internal page linking and sub-pages linking to the home page.
    So, if you don't have any pages... well, then you're in a tough spot.

    that template only has 1 page for all the content, which is not good for SEO.

    you must have internal linking at your website. Take a look at wikipedia and see how they do the internal linking.

    let me see ..... all that you're seeing happens within index.html right ?
    What if I develop 2 or 3 pages more with appropriate content and upload those to my server even when they will not be accessible from the index page, but I can link between those 2 or 3 pages, also include a link to index on those.

    cheat too cheap ? :)

    Thanks
