Title tag question
-
Hi,
If I wanted to rank for 'cheap football boots' and 'football boots' which tag would be the best option:
1. Cheap Football Boots (notice both keywords im targeting are included)
2. Cheap Football Boots, Football Boots (both keywords separate)
and the keywords sit on an EMD (cheapfootballboots.co.uk)
Cheers

Online Football Boot Store, Buying Football Boots, something of that nature that would imply buying. I like using keywords that don't necessarily have the product in them, but target the lifestyle of the shopper. Good luck on your Quest!

I like these... they present the keyword and then a value proposition.

i am not sure about how much juice you can get with the anchor text's pointing to same word.
as i read some where that it is better to have different pages and different keywords linking to your site to get max.. i mean with the cheap football boots and football boots should lead to different pages in your domain..
correct me if i am wrong

Thanks for the replies.
One other thing I thought about as well, was when link building if the anchor text was 'cheap football boots' would this benefit both terms at the same time? basically kill to birds with one stone or would mixing it up a bit with some 'cheap football boots' and some 'football boots'.

may be you can try
Cheap Football Boots with one day free shipping
or
Cheap Football Boots sale for children
as Heather mentioned if you are targeting local clients in your area add your location..
-
Surely first one is better. If you look at the second one than football boot makes up nearly 50% of the the text which is close to keyword stuffing. One other option could be to use like cheap football boots - football boots to indicate google that those are two totally different querries you are targeting, but I would defintely use the first one only. In addition you have both words in your domaini as well.

Hi there
I don't think it's necessary to repeat 'football boots' as it could look a bit spammy, so I'd go with option 1, but then expand a little, taking it up to 60 characters or so.
For example: add in your location if you have a bricks and mortar shop and want to target local searches, or perhaps think seasonal and add 'Christmas deals', 'back to school', etc.
Hope that helps
Heather

What should I title my homepage tab?
Our homepage tab just reads "home." Am I missing out on something with that? Should I re-write the tab to our brand name or a general descriptor? Best, Ruben

Duplicate content question
Hi I have a site that is run off one CMS system but has 3 different web addresses. One is a comic shop, one is a toy shop and one is a game shop. Now due to the nature of what we are selling some of the products we are selling on both or all 3 of the sites. I was wondering as to whether this would affect my ability to rank in google and if i would be penalised for any duplicate content? Thanks in advance

Site Wide Title Tag Discussion
Do you think it's good to have an instance of your primary keyword occur on most of your site's title tags throughout your site? Or do you think having the keyword occur in most title tags throughout the site will dilute the ranking ability for the home page? I haven't read much about this in "best practices" for title tags. hmmmm...

Quick Question on Redirects
This might be a silly question, but one important enough for me to ensure that I understand the best practice of URL redirects... I'm thinking of changing my URL's and hierachy of some of my WP subpages around, in order to logically fit the keyword into the url and place the subpage closer to the root domain. My question is, when doing this, can I simply edit the URL and create a redirect after the fact, essentially killing the old URL. Or, do I create the new page with the updated URL and hierarchy, keeping the old page live and intact, but have that 301 redirect to its new corresponding destination? Thanks
