SEO title tag, url
-
Hi I am launching a website that will sell initially 1 product with different colours, sayings and slogans. Is it okay to use the same keyword for the title tag and url. eg Love dog bow tie, sassy dog bow tie, I am the boss dog bow tie.
Thanks for any help.

Yes, it is generally acceptable to use the same keyword in the title tag and URL of your website, especially if it accurately reflects the product you are selling. Using keywords in these key areas can help improve your website's search engine optimization (SEO) by making it more relevant to users searching for those specific terms.
In your example, if your website sells dog bow ties with different colors, sayings, and slogans, using keywords like "love dog bow tie," "sassy dog bow tie," or "I am the boss dog bow tie" in both the title tag and URL can help signal to search engines and users that your website offers those products.
However, it's important to ensure that your website's content is also relevant to those keywords. It's not just about including keywords in the title tag and URL, but also providing valuable and informative content related to the products you're selling. This will help improve the overall user experience and increase the chances of ranking higher in search engine results.
Additionally, keep in mind that you should strive for a concise and descriptive URL structure that is easy for users to read and understand. For example, if your website's domain is "example.com," a URL like "example.com/love-dog-bow-tie" or "example.com/sassy-dog-bow-tie" would be more user-friendly than using lengthy or cryptic URLs.

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which is optimizing a website to improve its visibility and ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs) for relevant keywords and phrases. SEO basics involve conducting keyword research, optimizing website content and metadata, building high-quality backlinks, and improving website accessibility and user experience. SEO aims to attract targeted traffic to a website and ultimately increase conversions and revenue.

It is generally recommended to use unique and descriptive titles for each page of your website to help search engines and users understand what the page is about. Using the same keyword in multiple title tags and URLs can cause confusion and make it difficult for search engines to distinguish between pages.
In your case, if all of your pages are selling dog bow ties, it might make sense to use a similar structure for the title tags and URLs, such as "Dog Bow Tie - Love", "Dog Bow Tie - Sassy", and "Dog Bow Tie - I am the Boss". However, you should still aim to make each title tag unique and descriptive so that it accurately reflects the content of the page.
You might also want to consider including additional information in the title tags and URLs to help them stand out in search results and make them more appealing to potential customers. For example, you could include information about the material, size, or style of the bow ties in the title tags and URLs.
In summary, while it's okay to use similar keywords in your title tags and URLs, it's important to make sure each one is unique and accurately reflects the content of the page.

Organic SEO / Content Marketing
Hi,
SEO Tactics | | Ryan07
It would be great if some SEO experts could answer this for us. Suppose a website is brand new. How often should you publish new blog posts on the website?
Publishing, say, every single day or fairly frequently, without the offsite seo being built up first i.e. no backlinks; can this damage the organic SEO?
By publishing too much new written work, and could posting so frequently like everyday look like spam? That’s if though the written work is white hat.
Is there a golden rule to publish say once a month until the website’s offsite backlinks have increased?
Please help, as some clients are pushing for content marketing to be added and written daily, yet this seems too much despite them wanting to pay, it seems like it could cause an over optimisation issue? Could it also damage the long-term SEO efforts?0 -
What are the SEO ramifications of domain redirection?
Hi Moz Community! I was just trying to set up our global site and got this message: "Redirect detected
SEO Tactics | | Padmagandhini
We have detected that the domain bhaktimarga.org redirects to prodfront-coli.bhaktimarga.mediactive-network.net. We do not recommend tracking a redirect URL. Would you like to track prodfront-coli.bhaktimarga.mediactive-network.net for this campaign instead?"
6358703c-d8ef-4c0a-83a9-c948d370d743-image.png What's interesting is when you go to the site, Bhaktimarga.org, it shows our domain in the URL bar. Is this done for performance and masks the hosting provider domain? I haven't talked to website developers about this yet, but my main question is...Does this have any SEO ramification? Thanks so much,

Multiple URLs from One Domain on Page 1
Is it possible (and if it is possible, how difficult is it) to get multiple URLs from the same domain name to be indexed on the first page of Google for the same keyword or phrase? Assuming each URL has significantly different content of course... Context: A large real estate brand has 6 franchise offices in the same city. Each office has its own listing/landing page on the parent brand website. Each franchise owner wants their page on the website to rank for the term 'Christchurch real estate'. The homepage of the parent brand website currently ranks on the first page of Google for this search term, but none of the franchisee pages do. So my question is: with the right unique content on each franchisee page, supported by quality backlinks to each of the different offices, is it possible to get multiple franchisees listed on the first page of Google given that ultimately the 6 URLs are all attached to the same domain name? (And, if so, do you have any hot tips you can share to assist me on this uphill battle?)

Collections or blog posts for Shopify ecommerce seo?
Hi, hope you guys can help as I am going down a rabbit hole with this one! We have a solid-ranking sports nutrition site and are building a new SEO keyword strategy on our Shopify built store. We are using collections (categories) for much of the key product-based seo. This is because, as we understand it, Google prioritises collection/category pages over product pages. Should we then build additional collection pages to rank for secondary product search terms that could fit a collection page structure (eg 'vegan sports nutrition'), or should we use blog posts to do this? We have a quality blog with good unique content and reasonable domain authority so both options are open to us. But while the collection/category option may be best for SEO, too many collections/categories could upset our UX. We have a very small product range (10 products) so want to keep navigation fast and easy. Our 7 lead keyword collection pages do this already. More run the risk of upsetting ease/speed of site navigation. On the other hand, conversion rate from collection pages is historically much better than blog pages. We have made major technical upgrades to the blog to improve this but these are yet to be tested in anger. So at the heart of it all - do you guys recommend favouring blog posts or collection/category pages for secondary high sales intent keywords? All help gratefully received - thanks!
