Does a dynamic meta creation harmful for seo?
-
Hi guys another newbie question.
I have this 20 categories and i want each of it to have a dynamic meta to save time rather than doing it manually.
All the 20 categories are name of countries.
Target keyword: rent a car (category)
Lets say im browsing malaysia category.
Meta Title: Find affordable rent a car in malaysia
Meta Description: Find affordable rent a car in malaysia only here at website.com, call and book for a car now!
Meta Keywords: rent a car in malaysia, malaysia rent a car, affordable rent a car malaysia, cheap cars in malaysia
Now i move to another category lets say hongkong, the meta should change dynamically by changing just the name of the category
Meta Title: Find affordable rent a car in hongkong
Meta Description: Find affordable rent a car in hongkong only here at website.com, call and book for a car now!
Meta Description: rent a car in hongkong, hongkong rent a car, affordable rent a car hongkong, cheap cars in hongkong
and this goes to all other categories as well.
Will it hurt my seo? i mean it could be a form of duplicate content or whatever. Also please correct me of doing my meta, if its correct especially in meta keywords i dont want keyword stuffing as a problem why im not ranking.
Thanks a lot guys. Im still in the process of learning the basics

Hello there,
Automating title tags and meta descriptions as you've described above shouldn't cause you any problems.The meta keywords tag is redundant (Google don't use it) so I wouldn't bother populating it.
You might like to review these resources for further guidance on title tags and meta descriptions before you go ahead and implement.
Regarding your second question about content, I'd strongly recommend that you don't automate as described above. Having the same content (but just changing the location) is likely to be considered duplicate content by the search engines. I'd strongly recommend that you write unique copy for each page.
I hope this helps,
Hannah

hi thanks for your response, i'll wait for the others opinion... anyway i have a question for you if you dont mind... what if it was a content? like a description of a category with 200 words up and displayed on the page as an article describing the category? then on each categories description the only changes made was the name of the category.
example using the same keyword
"If you are visiting hongkong you would want to have your own car for your convenience. Find affordable rent a car in hongkong only here at website.com, all you have to do is browse check for the details blah blah. Only here in website.com you would find the most affordable rent a car and so on and so forth..... up to 200 words up"
the underlined names will be change if the user browse to other categories.
Thanks a lot

From my understanding, meta descriptions/keywords/etc are not part of Google's search algorithm, so you should be fine.

What is 'SEO copywriting' in 2015?
Howdy forum-fans! I've been toying with the idea for a while now, that 'SEO copywriting' and 'writing for Google' is no longer something that SEO's should be focusing on, but rather writing great, relevant, unique content for customers. The theory is that Google is smart enough to pick up on this and, via it's algorithms, know that it's content worth ranking as it'll be useful to people searching for queries related to the content. Additionally a well written peice of content should naturally contain keywords, phrases and links, taking away some of the overthinking that I've sometimes experienced (first hand) when writing content. What does everyone think? Is 'Writing for Google' dead in 2015 and, if so, has 'Writing for customers' replaced it? Or is there still a place for SEO copywriting; Eg. Well formed titles, URLs, meta-data (does this count as copywriting?)

What kind of SEO keywords should a recruitment company use?
I am relatively new to the world of SEO and have been given responsibility to improve SEO rankings for our company website (which is full of jobs). We are London based digital media recruiters and work in a number of niche industries. Should job titles be the keywords I try and optimise, as opposed to keywords such as 'digital media recruitment london', 'London digital marketing jobs', 'digital media recruiters in london' etc? Today I have signed up for a month's trial on Moz Pro so am hoping this will provide me with a lot of help as I start creating an SEO strategy, Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is KEI metric still commonly used by SEOs
I'd like to ask about the KEI, is it used by now? and is it really matters ? I guess # of results by Google is not a good metric to decide if the keyword is good or not? I'd really appreciate your inputs

SEO beginner- How to decide what keyword to go after?
I started a website called Think and Grow Entrepreneur. I'm not sure where to start with Keywords and which ones to go after. Should I input the same keywords over and over my blog to rank in those or should I look at every post as a single entity and try to rank different keywords in each blog. Ideally I would like to rank for the keyword Entrepreneur, but there are already very powerful companies with the same keyword. How should I go about this situation? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
