One or two keywords/pages
-
Hi,
I have a question about good keyword practice. I have a page:
http://www.holdnyt.dk/skader-karantaener/fodbold/england-premier-league
It lists all injuries ("skader" in danish) and suspensions ("karantaener" in danish) for the english premier league in football/soccer.
On the page one can choose to show only injuries OR suspensions, which have their own URLs:
http://www.holdnyt.dk/skader-karantaener/fodbold/england-premier-league/skader
http://www.holdnyt.dk/skader-karantaener/fodbold/england-premier-league/karantaener
My question is - what is best. To optimize the first URL (the more general one) to fit both of the following keywords:
"skader premier league" and "karantaener premier league"OR should i focus on optimizing the two latter URLs, the more specfiic to target the two keywords.
Regards,
Rasmus

Yes, in that case I would go for separate pages indeed!
-
The search "skader og karantæner premier league" has no searches according to adwords, while "skader premier league" has 260 local monthly searches, and "karantæner premier league" has 110 monthly.
So the way to go should be seperate pages per keyword.

Hi Rasmus,
I would probably keep a separate page for each of the keywords. Although the keywords are related, they're still 2 quite different things. (They're not as related as fx. prices vs. costs).
I'd also suggest having a good look at what keywords are actually used most. If you find out that most people search for 'skader og karantaener premier league' then it might be wiser combining it on one page after all.

Hi Rasmus,
I think the SEO best practice or normal practice is to target one keyword per page. I think the reasoning behind it is you can tailor the title, url, content, backlinks, etc. to that particular keyword instead of splitting it up between multiple.
That being said, I think it all comes down to the competitiveness of your keywords. If they are very competitive, you are better off doing multiple pages; however, if they are not completive or more "long-tail" types of keywords, you could definitely attempt to have them on a single page.
If this does not help in answering your question, I would simply recommend trying it. See if you can get the results you want using one page... but if you can't attain those results, switch it up and try the two page approach.
Hope this helps.
Mike

How can a page rank for keywords that it does not have on it?
I have a client that is ranking in the top 10 for several keywords on their homepage. Their site has no purposeful SEO in it, there is barely any text on the homepage at all and none of the text are the keywords it is ranking for.

Moz is advising that a page has too many of the same keywords.
But this sub-category page includes products that have the keyword in the product name. Should I be concerned?

Why is my contact us page ranking higher than my home page?
Hello, It doesn't matter what keyword I put into Google (when I'm not signed in and have cleaned down my browsing history) the contact us page ranks higher than the home page. I'm not sure why this is, the home page has a higher page authority, more links and more social media shares, the website is an established one. When I have checked Google Analytics my home page gets more people landing on it than the contact us page. It looks like people are ignoring the contact us page and scrolling down until they find the home page. I'd appreciate any help or advice you might have. Thank you.

How do I PERMANENTLY change an incorrect URL link with one of my keywords?
Hello, I received an “F” grade on my on-page report for one of my keywords. I noticed that the URL linked with that keyword was wrong. After changing it to the correct URL, I received an “A.” However, the change was not permanent. How do I permanently change the URL? I don’t see any “Save Changes” or “Apply Changes” button anywhere. Thank you!

Jquery in top of page vs text on bottom page
Is it the best way to use jquery sliders on the top of your page to still get all your text above the fold and score in search engines? for example: http://www.wolf-howl.com/wp-conte... is much better to score high ranks in search engines than http://www.wolf-howl.com/wp-conte... ?? Thanks!

Does anyone know an "updated" all in one cheat cheat for on page SEO
howdy guys, after panda, and penguin, i wanted to know if anyone has any good references for a cheat sheet that has ALL the on page SEO factors like title tag, image tags, H1-H6, etc, the basics, but since the zoo got loose I dont know if things have changed for on page SEO. For example what is the optimal KW density we should be using etc. i found this list : http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/internet/google-ranking-factors.htm but it seems to be a bit outdated, if someone can share something similar to this list but something more recent, like a few weeks old, i think that would help the community out a great bunch! thanks guys
