'Search Engines' forum has had Five (5) posts in 2019 !! (two are mine back in February) - it is pretty obvious only the bold go there, (to the abyss). That is why I am posting here where hundreds if not thousands will see it :)
Some advice needed please ...
Question: Linking from a product page to an article summary [precis] on the Home page via an id="[article]" link VS linking directly to the separate article page (EZ Page) .... which is better for SEO?
situation is:
Full article page sits at domain/article (EZ Page) ....
Article precis is on home page (for SEO purposes, content, visitor engagement) with 'read more' link to above full article page ....
Have used <h2 id="article">article name</h2> on article heading on home page ....
In lieu of linking directly from the product page to the EZ page I am thinking of linking to Domain/#article from product page which will resolve to article summary on home page - (currently every product page has a contextual link to the article page (EZ page))
Will this be more beneficial for SEO, (linking to home page rather than an EZ page or would there be no difference at all? Would this signal to the crawlers that the home page is considered more important than the EZ page?
Zen Cart is a community of multiple thousands of webmasters, professional or amateur (like me) so I figure someone here has an educated opinion / experience with this.
I look forward to some opinions, cheers
p.s.
I posted 2 questions in Search Engines forum in February - 45 views for one, 23 for the other - zero responses!! - the forum gets an average of 1 post per month. Some posts there relate to ZC link structure that can (repeat, can) have an effect of how Google sees a website.
