Unique pages per search phrase, Yes or No?
-
Hi People
What is the general consensus regarding having bespoke pages for several search phrases?
Should you have an individual page on your site for each main key phrase you want to target or should you target several phrases for each page e.g. Target 3 phrases per page.
And if having separate pages for key phrase should there be links on site to these pages or is it enough just to have them in a site map?
Thanks
Andy

Hi there Andy,
I am searching for the answer for this question as well, But So far my experience is that pages that rank for multiple keywords seem to have a added boost, which allowed it to rank 1st for the main target keyword..but to support that the page ranks on the first page for 4 or 5 different related keywords.

Hello Andy,
If you are gonna write the content for online users/reader, you would get the answer yourself. When you write a quality piece, you think of your users and not the search engines. If you make the users happy, search engines will be happy as well.
As far as targeting a single phrase or multiple phrase is concerned, if two terms are totally different altogether then having separate pages is a better idea and that is categorization. E.g. A site selling mobiles can have different categories based on brands and then further categorization based on OS.
To sum up, it is your call. If you think that all the 2 phrases should be on the same page as they offer real value when read together then you can put them in a single page. On the other hand, if they are inter-connected and quality content can be crafted for each of them then individual pages with good internal linking can be done.
Regards

I recently had someone say a resource page is a bad idea. What do you think?
I have a resource page on my website: www.joeborders.com an admin on the google webmaster forum said I should get rid of it. That google might look at it as spammy and gaming the system. Either that or greatly expand on it and make it more complete. I haven't updated it in a while and its far from complete. What do you think? Boot it or grow it?

Posts and Page linking
Can I link from the post to page? I read on semoz that in order to avoid crazy linking I should not link from a post everywhere. Is it ok to link from some post which is in a category to a page?

Can I Boost Ranking Linking off Pages internallly?
My domain authority is relatively low, but my right now my homepage seems to have the highest rank. If I place a few internal page links on my homepage, would this boost ranking on internal pages? Or would it pull juice away from my homepage? Using the Seomoz OSE I see alot of my competitors using this type of strategy linking internally. Also would using breadcrumb links benefit me in anyway? Thanks very much!

Competitor links on unmaintained pages
hey all, this is my first posting... I have a webpage that is a great resource (ranked 3rd for my keyword) , and unarguably better than the site that is taking the first 2 places. Because my page is a much more useful resource for the same thing I have been looking at who is linking to them and asking them to take a look at mine in the hope that they will replace their link with my more up to date page. The problem is a LOT of the high value links they have (many .edu links) are from old, now unmaintained pages, where I have no chance of getting a link (or even contact with a webmaster) Its frustrating that they have so many good links to such an out of date page. I just wondered if any of you have had a similar situation. It just seems very hard to knock someone off that top spot if they have been established a long time, regardless of the quality of their content. I guess there is no solution to it except to find lot of other high value links myself - so not so much a question as a comment really! but happy to hear peoples own experiences of that sort of situation.
