Advice on long form content !

Hey guys!

So i was ranking top 3 for a couple keywords for my site for a while, then new competition kept creeping up and stole my ranks! they have long form content on their homepage, like 2000 words. I didnt want to do this because i like to keep my site simple and to the point which has worked well for conversions. But i have been told by many that google likes long form, so reluctantly I did that and i started ranking again after a while. But now my conversion rate is only 2% and it used to be 5%. I am almost certain visitors are getting lost in the long form content because it really is only there to help me rank. Yes its all relative information, but its not necessary and probably confuses visitors or overwhelms them... then they leave before even getting to my shop page. I really dont like all the words on my home page, it looks bad (to me - i personally think all long form on homepages look bad for ecommerce atleast) and that kind of stuff i would rather keep in the blog. What do you guys think? Ideally i would go back to simple and to the point. But im worried i will lose my rank if i get rid of the 2000 pointless words on my homepage. Any and all input welcome. thanks so much for your thoughts

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
