Any tips for SEOing the un-SEOable?
-
Over the last year I’ve given up on being a developer. I’ve moved many of my client to wordpress.com, all so far are very happy with the move.
One thing I’ve not been able to solve is that a lot of these sites are relatively static. They do have a blog page but they are not really active bloggers. The blog page is great for them as it allows them to add the odd post for news etc when they need to.
The other issue is the home page. Many of the sites are musicians and bands. With the trend for minimal sites that get straight to the point, some of the sites just have a soundcloud player on the home page and nothing else. Apart for not having any real content for search engines to crawl, this also leave the page description in search results looking a bit strange.
Any tips how I might improve SEO under these circumstances.

Bands are simple, I assume they actually perform in public or do something besides just practice in the garage?
If so, when they do something, make a new blog Post that tells about the performance, put in one picture, city (with proper comments), venue, type of music etc. Simple to do. After a while anytime someone searches for things like “band, city name, rock (or oldies, blues, etc.)” the band will start popping up in the searches.
also read the links by @TT above, they are good

@timethief – I’ve seen all these many times
@auxclass – What you are saying is correct, but they aren’t bloggers and will rarely post. As I said, the sites are mainly static. Regardless, it won’t solve the sites that just have a soundcloud player on the home page and nothing else.
I know all of these things already, I was hoping someone might have some creative tricks for me.

SEO advice to deploy on behalf of clients is really the kind of thing you can expect to pay for. TT’s links should keep you busy awhile, as should the SEO tag here in the forums.

but they aren’t bloggers and will rarely post.
They have a few options,
1) the “manager” or someone sucks it up and Posts
2) they hire it done or find a friend that will do the work for maybe beer & Pizza –
3) they get used to having a web site that sucks for search and they can keep whining that they get no traffic to the web site, that works for third rate bands
Once the site is set up we are not talking about much work to make minimum Posts. All of 10 or 15 minutes per Post –

Surely bands have lots of things to post: fan photos, video, “LOOK MY NEW GUITAR” all kinds of things.
