Hi Everyone, this is a bit of a laundry list that I see on sites/pages that I'm looking to better optimize (DNN 9.3.2) for SEO. I would be interested in what current best practices are to overcome these dings.
I'm looking for suggestions/thoughts/best practices with DNN. Anything you share would be greatly appreciated! Matt
As mentioned, when you're using any third-party tool to calculate and improve your SEO, you should be weighing all issues/suggestions against practicality and whether or not such an update will truly have the impact it says. Also, when you're working with various platforms, you have other pros & cons concerns regarding implementation.
The sitemap warning is a false negative. Google's tools and indexer work just fine, as long as everything else is properly being maintained. You can put in a URL rewrite as suggested to get rid of the warning, but you won't see any SEO benefits outside of no longer seeing the warning.
Whether or not you use schema markup (and OGP, or others) and where is up to you. Since every website ends up being mostly unique compared to others, you're the deciding factor here. For most things that would provide an SEO benefit, I'd suggest using a structured content module instead of the HTML module to maintain that content. The most popular options seem to include OpenContent and 2sxc. This allows you to implement the strategically valuable markup, while allowing non-technical people to edit the content without breaking any schema you have decided is important to that content.
Posted By joswef23 on 2/24/2024 7:30 AM Optimizing your DNN 9.3.2 site for SEO is crucial, and I'm here to help. Consider incorporating schema.org markup for better search engine visibility. Review your robots.txt file to ensure it's not blocking important images. Creating a static XML sitemap file can further enhance crawling and indexing. Don't forget to include Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags for improved social sharing. Additionally, tools like SEMrush or Moz can provide comprehensive SEO insights beyond Woorank. Let me know if you need further assistance!

There is a bunch of things that you can do to improve your SEO and it's not even DNN related.
In my case I like to mix SEO efforts with my client's context, competition, his/her own technical knowledge and also how far each client wants to go on this subject (every client its so different from one to another and I believe you just can't have a fixed SEO formula for everybody and everything).
For example: my first step before even using a third party tool and fill my desk with a thousand SEO tasks it's always measuring events and conversions from GA4 and having monthly meetings with the client in order to identify the conversion rate and what is their star product/service. Now, based on that first image I'll create a plan in order to optimize the client's content and website in order to increase the overall SEO grade the business currently holds on all the related keywords from their top selling product/service.
This is just an example but the formula constantly changes based on the client, their context, their goals and their availability to work as a team on this long term objective called SEO.
About the 5 points you shared, I'm with Will 100%.
