Today on the Jobhunters websites we are going to look at making the search page a little more “Search Engine Friendly” – if you missed the idea behind our SEO experiment go here first Using KeyWord Tools to target Your SEO
Currently the URL is called canddisplay.php … seemed like a good idea at the time and I know that it is short for candidate display. However do you think anyone is ever going to do a Google search for anything even resembling that?
For our Jobhunters sites we are trying to boost their search engine rankings for the Keywords Job Search and one way of helping this is by making the URL’s the same as the keywords that you are trying to rank for. So in our case we simply rename our file canddisplay.php to jobsearch.php and hopefully over time we will see improved rankings as a result of this.
Already Google has indexed our sites with the new keywords, titles etc, however they are still not even showing up for the search term. We will however be keeping a close eye on this over the next couple of weeks and will of course be reporting on the rankings as they change.
