Blog and keyword advice
-
Hi, i am going to add a blog to my site to encourage more visitors as well as encourage google to visit the site more often but i am concerned on a couple of things.
The blogs will be on weight loss hypnotherapy, anger management therapy and also gastric band hypnotherapy and i am concerned that by writing a number of articles on this topic that by using the keywords it will lower my rankings for the following keywords, gastric band hypnotherapy, anger management therapy, weight loss hypnotherapy.
To help you understand more, i have three sections which are gastric band hypnotherapy, anger management therapy, weight loss hypnotherapy, which rank well with google and i am worried that if i write about these subjects in my blog that it will reduce my rankings.
Should i reduce the number of times i use the word gastric band hypnotherapy in my new blog articles and say only say the word once or twice so google does not thing that is my main page on the subject.
any help would be great.

Thanks for this, will start adding the articles on the blogs

I will be writing the articles naturally but worried that the article could reduce my rankings for the main page. For example, i have written an article on gastric band hypnotherapy and the word gastric band hypnotherapy appears five times in the article, so this has worried me, if i put it online on my site will it take google away from the important page on my site all about gastric band hypnotherapy and move me down the rankings because i have another page talking about gastric band hypnotherapy and news about gastric band hypnosis

Hi Diane,
As far as your content is awesome it will not going hurt you. Write blogpost and inter link to your targeted landing page, it will improve website navigation as well as ranking.
-
Be sure to include your target keywords in important places: page title, headings, file names (such as images), strong text and paragraph text. I would also do some research into what related terms you should have in posts that Google may use to categorize your posts. Please see this post for details.

I don't think you should focus on the number of times you use any particular keyword.
Instead, write naturally for your audience.

New blog contributors
For context my website is a content resource portal. In SEO training I have been told that it is a good SEO move to have as many content contributors as possible. As a result we are pushing to recruit new content contributors so they can be listed as new contributors/authors on our site alongside their valuable content. Would this move be good for our SEO rankings and is there anything in particular to consider with this?

Company blog relaunch. Best practices with Google Algorithm updates in mind?
We have a company blog living on our corporate domain. The blog contained many posts with keywords and we believe google is penalizing us for over optimization as we use to be ranked in the top 5 for our main keyword now we're on page 8. Keeping this in mind, we are planning to relaunch the blog and we wanted to get some tips on best practices that addressing the following questions. Should we archive _all _of our previously published content and start fresh with this relaunch? Should we keep 50 or so published blogs visible? Where should this blog live (on our domain or a wholly separate domain)? We'd love to get thoughts and opinions, and any insight about best practices for a blog relaunch.

Should we implement rel=author on every past blog post
Hi guys, we're in the process of implementing rel=author markup on our blogs containing more than 3,000 posts. They are written by about 50 different people, and some of them don't blog anymore or are no longer with the company. Should we have rel=author for all blog posts, even those published in 2006? Thanks for your help!
