One page websites?

[catsnotdrugs]

Recently I've come across more and more computer repair websites that are one page. I like the idea and think it looks really nice when done correctly but I'm wondering if it is a good idea for a computer repair/service website. Could it be too confusing to some people? Too much to load ?

I wonder about SEO drawbacks for multiple subjects. I like the one-page sites if they are simple and clean, but on the other hand, it's hard to get a lot of content without the site looking cluttered.

Any site that's poorly design or overloaded with information will be confusing, regardless of the number of pages. I came across this site recently and thought it was very well done.

That is nice, straight to the point and clean.

From SEO viewpoint cramming all your keywords into one single page probably wont work best.

I find If you put it all in one page people dont like scrolling down too long to find what they want.

I've become a big fan of the one page site. Personally, I prefer one with a sticky menu. I think there's plenty of space to get the necessary info out, but still maintain a clean and efficient presence.

I have a 1 page site, but need to create landing pages for Adwords. Do landing pages "count" the same as a website with multiple pages for SEO purposes?

Having a website with only 1 page is NOT a good idea. That being said, having all of your important information on the main page (hours & directions with a map, basic price list, reviews, products, etc.) is nice. Just be aware that your bounce rate will affect both your Google ranking and how much you pay for AdWords. If Google sees that people just go to your main page and then close the window or hit the back button, it will lower your quality score. I have a client that insisted on making a 1 page site. I warned him against this, but he didn't listen. He came crying to me a few months later because he was paying upwards of $16/click in AdWords, and before he was only paying $4/click. Why? Because his quality score tanked.

Also, having a specific landing page is very important. If someone Googles "laptop screen replacement" and they land on your main page that talks about "Cloud services and IT management," changes are they'll wonder why Google brought them there and hit the back button. That equals WASTED MONEY and a lost customer.

I think it largely depends on how much content and effort you're willing to put into your website. As well as how competitive your market is.

If you are planning to create a minimal amount of content, then a single page has the advantage that at least it's one page with over 1000 words of content to crawl and may actually perform for one or two keywords. Which is better than having 5 or 6 pages with only a couple hundred words each, which is likely to be ignored completely by Google.

If however, you're in a competitive market and willing to invest a lot more effort into your website you should still do a homepage with over 1000 words of content geared toward your one or two main keywords. Then create separate pages with a good amount of content related to your other goods and services.

I know in the data recovery niche, I'd never rank for any keywords with a single page website. That's why I've got about 1500 pages of content on my site.

Hmm....those guys from that site are right up in the Boston area. I should contact them and see if they'd switch data recovery companies....

The website with only one page are hard to rank on Google for competitive keywords.

I don't think that's a one page website.

Yes.

Do you think it will suffice? a one page website? Maybe it's just their landing page. I'm quite surprise if that is already a business site alone because people today love to really check out news, updates, and more.
