How to perform Keyword Research for the e-commerce website which has more than 20,000 products
-
Hello,
I want to work on keyword research for one of our e-commerce website - http://www.grandcrayon.ca which provides office supply products in canada. I am targeting only canada and keyword research will be based on Canada Search results.I would like to know how i will start targeting keywords in organic way for this website. I am using keyword planner tool and get results some how. But should i start keyword research by filtering with different categories or any other easy way that i can give me the keyword results for this site.
I want to know which are the main keywords or the list of keywords on which i should work.
Your valuable inputs will help me a lot!
Thanks

Absolutely agree. Dealing with 20k keywords is something that is almost impossible to do manually. In this case I would personally turn up to http://keywordtool.io/api. This is basically an API for Google autocomplete. I'd use the API to get first 10 results from Google autocomplete for every keyword. Usually the first 10 results from Google autocomplete are the most relevant keywords anyway.

Start with Google Analytics and separate out by landing page - find out what you're already getting the most traffic on and start with those pages/keywords.
Then get some sort of crawl (Screaming Frog, personally) and start with the "levels" from home. Start with homepage targeting, move out to the ones that are "1 level away" and then "2 levels from home."
Add that to your top selling products and categories around them - should get you started.
It's not going to be an easy go, just have to start and keep cranking through it. Run each category through Adwords tool as well and you should get great lists to download & start from.

I would immediately start looking into any solutions that offer an API to make sure you can pull keywords at a fast pace for the 20k products that you offer. By doing this you can cross examine them to make sure you have all the right data sets to make good decisions.

'spammy' domains redirecting to website
Hi Everyone, I hope that someone will be able to help us with this one as we have trawled the internet looking for a solution! We have multiple domains (.com/.co.uk/.net versions) which all point to the one website, however, some of these domains have a high spam score - 9-11. Our first initial reaction would be to remove the auto redirects, but, the other domains have been a source of conversion in previous months (or so analytics tells us). So what I'm wondering, is do we remove the 'spammy' links from redirecting to our site, or do we leave them there? We certainly don't want to risk a penalty. Thanks for reading!

1000 of links on my website ? is it good or bad
Hi guys my site: www.dorchdanola-netbutik.dk is a e-commerce store, and generally we have many links on all pages because of the many products and categories. Im not sure if this is actually bad or good? I've been told that it will definately harm my site when google crawls it. The thing is that google visit my site often and I still have good pageranks in google. So does it actually harm my site having all these products and categories? And what can I do about it if google see every page as duplicate content? I also link to my social pages like FB, G+, e.g. Should I put rel="nofollow" or rel="me" on these social links? Thanks guys!

Can I start SEO before finishing my website?
Hi, I'm new to SEO and websites. I'm slowly building a website at the moment. I was wondering if I could set up a blog at the domain name I will use for my final website and begin doing SEO. Eg. I set up a blog using a CMS like Squarespace and begin blogging at domain.com/blog (with links to the domain.com/blog from the domain.com home page) and inbound links point to the domain.com 'front page'. And then add the design of the 'front page' of the website using Squarespace at a later stage eg. domain.com. Is this a good idea? Will it work? I'm anxious to get started on SEO. Thanks!

Linking between your own websites- yay or nay?
Hi Guys I have 4 different niche websites in the healthcare area and wondering is it a safe strategy to link between them? I'm not sure if this is frowned upon by the search engines. I have heard the term 'link wheel', but I'm not sure if this is what a link wheel would be. I do have 2 sites that are much more important than the other 2. One is a directory of practitioners and the other is my main site of my healthcare business. The 2 other websites are smaller niche markets that I also service. My directory was previously hurt by the Penguin update because I was using Linkvana and blog networks and the anchor text was too specific. I have discontinued using any blog networks or 'quick link' strategies. I'm now implementing a guest posting strategy on reputable websites. I want to do everything buy the book now and thought I should check before any new linking strategy. Thanks in advance! Clinton

Product Giveaways and No-Follow
If a blogger is given a product from a company for a giveaway contest on their blog, does Google require the link to the company have a no-follow. This seems like a gray area but I can't find any guidelines put out by Google about this.

Charity / Donation - Website and SEO
I have a prospective client looking to do SEO- they are a charity and have a fixed one time budget. (The budget is surprisingly high) They are looking to have their site ranked for "charities in (our city)" and "dental charities" and any keyword variations. Adwords shows significant search volume and ranking difficulty is moderate per SEOmoz keyword difficulty tool. On page will be fairly simple and well handled, but am looking more towards the authority and link building. I am going to tackle 3 top quality directories, Yahoo, BOTW, and Business.com (as well as DMOZ but i've never had luck). But was wondering if there were any other nationally recognized sources that mozzers know about that would be a good place to start to get some links to the site. The organization is a clinic that provides free dental work to veterans. I have never handled SEO for a charity before, and my first instinct is that getting a link to the site will be much easier to get than if I ask them to give money to the foundation, so they would be glad to do it. Any other guidance would be appreciated. And I can give more details if necessary. Any other tips and insight would be appreciated. Thank you! Ian
