On-page Keyword Optimization
-
So I have created a page for the term "denver buick" but the next largest search term is for "buick denver." Should I create another page focusing on this keyword, or optimize one page for both? It's hard to come up with unique content since they are the basically the same term.
But most importantly, if I make this new page, how do I incorporate it into the site architecture?
Thanks!

That's good advice. I may have over-optimized just a tad
-
I always recommend to clients that they write the content naturally and forget about keyword usage altogether. The more informative and compelling the content is, the more likely it is to generate links, and usability should be your primary concern too. Over-optimisation can also have a negative impact upon on rankings too, so just keep it natural.
-
Thanks Paul, just the answer I was looking for. I may throw the variation on the page as well as I have only used the original term so far.
-
Perfect, I'll make sure it's optimized correctly. How much is too much when it comes to keyword usage?
-
Paul is right. If you did it effectively, it should already be optimized for both "buick denver" and "denver buick". Google can pull those broad keywords together as long as they're frequent enough (no stuffing!) and close enough together. It's almost essentially the same thing (both keywords).
-
I wouldn't recommend creating a second page, as it's going to serve the same purpose and feature very similar content.
I would say you should spend your time on the existing page, if it is optimised well for 'denver buick' then chances are it will rank for the slight variation too anyway.

Way of including Keyword into content
Hi all! My website is that of a large 7 bedroom luxury villa in Barbados (www.bruadair.com). Now, I am having problems understanding how i can include my targeted keywords in to my content without it looking unnatural and disrupting the quality of the content. I wish to use the keyword phrase 'Large luxury villa in Barbados' however including this directly into on-page elements seems to look unnatural. My current content on my home page is as follows 'Bruadair is a large luxurious villa situated on the prestigious Platinum West Coast of Barbados, located in a beautiful tropical setting with gorgeous beaches just minutes walk away' I want to rank for this keyword however changing to 'Bruadair is a large luxurious villa in Barbados, located in a beautiful tropical setting with gorgeous beaches just minutes walk away' degrades the quality of the content... is there anyway i can get round this issue? I greatly appreciate any help/advice given to my problem! Thanks once again, T

Penalty for on-page optimizing too many pages?
Hey in the process of building a new site in the fitness niche - targeting keywords such as: <colgroup><col width="387"></colgroup>

| how to get a flat stomach |

| how to get rid of belly fat for women |

| how to get skinny |
| how to have more energy |
| how to loose weight fast |
| how to lose love handles |
| how to lose love handles fast |
| how to lose lower belly fat | All these keywords get decent search volume. My question, alot of the content for these keywords would be similar for example - "how to get a flat stomach", "how to lose love handles" and "how to get skinny" would pretty much have similar content. I could build a single page for all these keywords but i loose all the ranking benefits from doing on-page optimization such as creating a page for each of these keywords and optimizing it for each of these keywords (e.g. putting the keyword in the URL and Title) But if i build individual pages, to me it doesn't look natural optimizing multiple pages for the keyword terms, plus i loose the benefits of building a single page (e.g. less costly, not as much outreach activity required, etc) You could argue however that if you create individual pages for each of these keywords you are addressing the query directly as theres a slight difference between "how to lose love handles and how to get a flat stomach. But i guess thats up to google to decide. So how would you approach this? Cheers, Chris0 -
