Jul 16, 2015 at 4:14	comment	added	closetnoc		It is perfectly fine to have two separate sites for .com and .org - especially for what you are doing. In effect, these are two different markets. You may want to make this a part of your SEO strategy to separate the two commercial/open source. Links between the two sites can help with this.
Jul 16, 2015 at 4:11	comment	added	closetnoc		The h1 tag is one of the most important tags there is. I rarely see search matches using the h1 tag, however, the h1 tag is used for weighting terms. There are only a handful of tags that you can use for weighting terms. The h1 falls just under the title tag which is most important. For this reason, I always recommend that a full and useful title be used and an h1 that nearly matches but is not identical enough to be ignored. Google will ignore the h1 tag if it appears to be identical to the title tag for fear of manipulation.
Jul 16, 2015 at 4:06	comment	added	Nicolas Raoul		Thanks, I made the <title> more descriptive! More about the h1/img: I just had a look, there is an img and then a h1 containing just the name of the product. Is it bad? The h1 is not an image in itself. A note about .org/.com: our project is open source, and marketed in 2 different ways: .org as an open source community effort (technical source code, how to develop, etc), and .com as an off-the-shelf commercial product ("executive summary"-level, how to buy support, etc).
Jul 15, 2015 at 14:23	comment	added	closetnoc		@NicolasRaoul I am not suggesting that your paragraphs are nothing but not enough for Google to grab onto. Remember that Google is a machine (people actually forget that) and it is extremely likely that there are word count boundaries that Google will use to determine whether it even looks to a paragraph for snippet content. Google likes meat on the bones. However, if you do your description meta-tag well, then that will not be a problem. Google likes to get the SERP link from the title tag and the snippet from the description meta-tag first if it can.
Jul 15, 2015 at 14:17	comment	added	closetnoc		@NicolasRaoul Keyword chase was not an accusation necessarily out of word count, but that the page only weighs for the one word. I thought perhaps you were chasing only that term. We get a lot of people following SEO bad advice here so we tend to repeat ourselves. ;-) I came across the .com while searching. It is unusual that someone tries to make .com and .org similar but different. I could not see that one would benefit you distinctly unless you were going for another set of market terms. BTW- Your site(s) do have a nice look and feel.
Jul 15, 2015 at 7:34	comment	added	Nicolas Raoul		".org vs. .com": While not an answer to the question above, I appreciate the advice, thanks! :-) And thanks for the h1/img tip too!
Jul 15, 2015 at 7:30	comment	added	Nicolas Raoul		"stop the keyword chase": What do you mean? The whole page's paragraphs only contain "CMIS" twice, hard to do less.
Jul 15, 2015 at 7:28	comment	added	Nicolas Raoul		"you have not given anything for Google to use for a SERP link and snippet": How about the first/second/third/etc paragraphs of the page? Why are they considered nothing?
