Turkey ’s Web Magazine: Bildirgec.org
Bildirgec.org is one of the most visited websites in Turkey and it ’s currently listed as the 91st most visited website in Turkey according to Alexa. It’s quite probable that a website with this kind of slice of Internet traffic already has seo-optimized website, but there are improvements waiting to be made.
Bildirgec.org already has a robots.txt, but it just covers the known stuff. Having nearly as 90% of its pages listed in the supplement results according to “site:bildirgec.org *** -view“, bildirgec.org can have more statements in its robots.txt file. Here are my additions for the robots.txt:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /rss/uye/
Disallow: /uye/
Disallow: /ara/
Disallow: *.xml$User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /uyelik/avatar/
Out of 570 images listed for bildirgec.org on Google Image Search, 245 of them are member’s avatar, which have no search value with their irrelevant alt tags and filenames.
Looking at the source code, one thing really took my attention. They have no robots meta tag. I highly suggest adding one to benefit from all search engines. Secondly, posts did not have any description or keywords meta tags, which result them to be weighted as duplicate content resulting in supplement index placement. With their already implemented tags feature, they can easily place these tags inside the keywords tag, and use the first 20 words of an entry as description.
Other than that, they have pretty much done everything; I would also suggest adding nofollow to their inpost links, but thats against their ideology as far as I know.
