    I run a price comparison website for a small niche at http://cdkeyprices.com

    I am targeting keywords for the specific products I am comparing the price/merchants on. On a typical page I would have a price column, product name, the merchant and a buy button. Buy button is affiliate linked to the merchant.

    The product name in the product column is the name from the actual website I am tracking. As such, my keyword was appearing sometimes up the 30 times.

    I've took it down some months ago but was wondering if this was a bad move. I was concerned Google would think I was stuffing the keyword. I've only just gotten into SEO the past few months so was not able to  see any changes.

    Should i put the product column back up or would it be considered over optimization?

      Yea I would limit this to a lower number to few important comparisons not all highest, lowest, and few middle priced, and maybe most know stores. Adding content will help to mitigate this as well. But if its under 5 I dont think that should be a red flag

        Thanks for your replies!

        Vadim, what I mean is I get a feed of the products listed on a particular shop. I display their data "as is" which means whatever they name their product on their store is how it appears as mine, in a list with all the other merchants. I have since taken this off as mentioned

        For example, previously, if I was comparing prices for a Sony Z1 Camera my product page would look like

        Amazon Buy Sony Z1 Camera $19.99

        CameraCentral.com Sony Camera $22.99

        Camera.com Z1 Sony Camera $40.11

        CameraOnline.com Buy Sony Z1 Camera $55

        etc

        I removed the product name column in case it was key word stuffing!

        Thanks again 🙂

          Removing was probably a safe bet. Why are you considering putting it back?

          Does it help your customers? No, then dont put it back. Yes, then maybe, why does it look over-optimized to you?

          Can you explain a bit more of what you mean by, "The product name in the product column is the name from the actual website I am tracking. As such, my keyword was appearing sometimes up the 30 times." ? Is it in a product descriptions with significant amount of information that is relevant to the customer? If so, then you can edit the text to make sure your keyword density is below 10% or 5% just to be on the safe side. Unless you mean something else by the product column. Like Peter said adding relevant content to balance the keyword ratio could really help, fundamentally relevant content is great its great for SEO, if that is possible.

            Hi Mark

            In my opinion, yes, to repeat the same product name up to 30 times on a page which doesn't have very much text-based copy which your product pages don't seem to have would appear spammy. Also visually, for the site visitor, to have a product name repeated down a long column wouldn't look great either.

            If you want to better optimise your product pages then I would look to increase the word count on the products themselves. With the list of Vouchers on the right-hand side and the About Us at the bottom the amount of repeating content on each page is about equal to the amount of unique content.

            By adding more unique content to your product pages (e.g. more info on the games themselves) you will make the page more useful to the buyer and give search engines more to bite into. I also suggest you test out a few pages in Moz's On-Page Grader to help you better evaluate where you can make worthwhile changes.

            I hope that helps,

            Peter

              Minor languages keyword research

              Hello, I am in charge of doing a keyword research for several small countries in Europe, namely Hungary, Estonia and Latvia.
              I normally use the Keyword planner for Google Ads, but for Hungarian, Estonian and Latvian this tools seems to find no results for the keywords related to my websites. For example, in Hungarian the keyword "ajak toltoanyagok" ("lip fillers" in English) doesn't give any results (and yes, I am targeting my searches to Hungary and Hungarian). I have the same problems with Latvian and Estonian. Is there another tool that I could use and that could give me better results? Help! Cheers Luca rONwtZt

              Tool for wildcard keyword suggestions

              Like others, I have also been oblivious to the options which were uncovered in this article, using stars or underscores to uncover more keywords suggestions. However, I am trying to find a way to avoid the manual labour. Did any of you find a successful tool that automatically adds all the possible combinations of these wildcards to give a comprehensive lists of suggestions? I am looking for a tool that also included my country (.nl).

              Keyword Conundrum...

              I have 3 keywords that I am targeting. Assume for the time being that they are all equally competitive. Includes local exact match monthly searches: Managed IT Services - 3600 IT Managed Services - 720 Managed IT Support - 170 They are all exactly synonymous, not to mention other keywords such as IT Managed Support, Managed IT Service, IT Managed Service, Managed IT Service Provider, etc..  My current strategy is to target the top 3 all on one page. The problem then is the title tag: Managed IT Services | IT Managed Services | Managed IT Support Pretty spammy. I could build pages for all 3, but how would I incorporate them into the website since they are all synonyms. Can I get some recommendations on how to handle this? What would you use for a title tag? How would handle separate pages with synonymous content?

              Where to start with keyword research for a telecom company?

              Hey, I'm a brand's person with no SEO experience, yet I'm in a position where I have to carry out an SEO audit of our telecom company's website. Though our website is up and running for some years now, nobody bothered to undertake keyword research. From the little I've read over months on SEOmoz, I've just done the following: took out keywords bringing organic traffic on to our website and checked our rankings for those keywords on major search engines. My observation is that most of these words are long-tail keywords. Since we only have product/service information related to our offerings, most of the head terms we've used for packages/offers/services pages are branded keywords. My understanding is that we need to rank top for our branded keywords (a must) and try to rank as high as possible for long tail. In addition, we can use those keywords in our copy so that the right page ranks top for the respective keyword. Am I missing anything here? What else do I need to do?

              Keywords + Country?

              Hey guys, Let's say that I'm doing on-site SEO for a website that sells football shirts. This website targets 5 different countries. We only have a .com domain and no other country specific domains will be added at this point. When I choose the keywords, do I opt for product name + country or only product name? football shirts france or football shirts? Some info: Countries have been added in the title of the pages. Countries appear in the footer. Thank You.

              Help finding some decent keywords

              Anyone care to help a SEO Newbie find a couple of key words that would be easier to rank for for my website that provides kayak fishing information? mysite: yakangler.com The key words that I've identified are as follows: best kayak   
              fishing from a kayak
              fishing kayak review
              fishing kayaks   
              kayak and fishing
              kayak fishing   
              kayak for fishing   
              kayak reviews   
              kayak rigging
              kayak weight limit   
              kayaks fishing   
              kayaks for fishing But I'm worried I'm missing the point, I don't see hardly any traffic from most of these. I've really tried to rank for "kayak fishing" but seem to be totally lost in the Google Panda abyss. Any advice on a different word or strategy would be greatly appreciated!

              Keyword Research (dash or no dash)

              I have a client that has been optimizing for "print and apply" for the past 5 months. Yesterday they decided it was more grammatically correct to use "print-and-apply." There question to me was "is this going to effect our SEO?" So... I checked the difficulty using the keyword analysis tool, both keywords had the same broad/exact adwords traffic as well as difficulty percentage. When reviewing the top 25 listings for each keyword it looks like the same sites rank in the SERPs between 1-8 and then after that it is completely different. So, is there a better keyword to target? Are these two keywords different enough to truly have separate search results?
              The top 8 results didn't even target "print-and-apply" in there content or title tags... Thanks for the input/discussion - Kyle
