Is this keyword stuffing?
-
This is one of my competitor's sites. I ran the on-page report card and the word Hyundai is on the page 102 times, and 67 times in the body. Here is the link: http://www.rosenhyundai.com
I would love to hear your guys opinion, if this is keyword stuffing and could it get penalized by panda? Thanks for your help.

So what if it is. So what if it's not. The question is: What are you doing to produce content that increases engagement with your brand? In cases like this, what your competitor is doing is inconsequential.
Understand that content mapped to your business goals is the whole deal and if you're not ranking at the top of search results, then someone is doing what needs to be don better than you are. If that's the case, you need to figure out how to be better--not how to dis them.
Don't dilly dally over what the competitor is doing--create an editorial calendar that blows them away and stick to it. Dig deep into the needs of your customers and produce content that will satisfy them. Think engagement. Think G+. Think social networking. Think about what your prospective customers need as they set out looking for a new car and write about that. Think like a publisher. Be creative.

If he is outranking you for your keywords, which I assume he is, I don't think it is purely because of the keyword stuffing. This company appears to have at least two other top ranking domains. That is just for the search term 'Hyundai Algonquin'. All of which appear to be using 'Hyundai' terms heavily.
Maybe it could get penalized, but it doesn't seem to be hurting them too bad right now. As EGOL mentioned, they could be a lot stronger. Capitalize on their weaknesses. Being that you are on SEOmoz, you have access to all the tools necessary to find out what you need to do to beat them.

opinion, if this is keyword stuffing ?...
The copy is written more for SEO than it is for the visitor. I have seen a lot worse. I don't think that it is too risky. A few years ago lots of website content was written this way and lots of it is still out there producing visitors.
opinion, if this could it get penalized by panda?
I doubt it. I think that panda is after thin content and duplicate.
Really this site is dangerous for you if you are his competitor. If they fix the title tags, improve h1, paragraph text and linkage their performance will go up.

How do you select which keywords to push in SEO?
Hi Guys Selecting the right keywords that a website can realistically rank for is a key to gain top rankings relatively quick. I am just curious to hear how you guys do it (the methodology) when selecting which keywords to push? I mean you need to check the competition for each keyword as well so how to check this quickly to see what we realistically can rank for? Cheers John

How much keyword density for Google?
I have several pages on one site which have gone down during the past few months. They keyword density on those pages, which is not unnatural, pleased Google for many years. it still pleases Bing. But Google now seems very picky. Based upon your experience, what is the ideal % keyword density for 2 and 3 word phrases, and should they be left out of alt tags even when proper to put them there? While Google dominates, we do not wish to alienate BIng/Yahoo. It is a huge mystery, and experimentation with more non-keyword-related text has so far not born any fruit. Thank you, GH

Keyword Search - another site bypassed me and they are not ranked well...
I was trying to optimize the keywords "music for kids" . This is a no brainer because my URL is "musicforkids" My On-Page Report Card for "music for kids" gives my site a "A". The on page report card for the other site gets an "F". But the other site comes up number ONE in the organic Google search and my site comes up number three. The two sites above me receive a crappy on page Keyword report for the key words "music for kids" but they still come up above me for that search term. What's the deal?

Can you track multiple domains with the same key words and not use up your keyword limit?
I have roughly 7 domains that I am trying to monitor with the same set of keywords. Is there a way to do this without using up your keyword limit. They are the same words just different sites.

Keyword Trouble
Having the worse time trying to figure out what keywords to use on my website. Run a E commerce site and we sell HID lighting and aftermarket Lighting or High Intensity discharge lighting. Now when thinking about why people would come to our site...the obvious reason would be to buy HID kits. BUT here is the problem, Every keyword that i throw into the seoMoz keyword difficulty tool or any other tool whether its Google or whatever comes back as super high competition for that word. Now i find low comp words but they don't really relate to my site and could kill my bounce rate percentage. Not sure what i could do or if anyone has any tips that can point me in the right directions. It sounds like i am going to have to muscle my way through this one. Any help please guys.
