What Tools Can Be Used To Determine Kw's I Should Be Optimizing For ?
My concern is that I may be optimizing certain pages with wrong kw phrases and building backlinks to wrong kw phrases that are not a good conversion keyword for the services that I am selling.
What are the various ways and tools that can be used to determine if I am optimizing for the right kw's phrases and not the wrong ones that will not convert into a lead from the optin form.
I am wondering if ppc spy tools such as spyfu, semrush help me identify if I in fact am opitimizing for the right kw's ?

PS: 5. Would be -> do SEO for the best converting keys
I do not know a tool, that predicts conversion rates. But if you see, that a competitor is doing heavy link-building on a page / key, it is very likely, that it is converting well
You could try this just with Open Site Explorer here at SEOMOZ. Check the domain of a competitor -> click on "top pages". You will see the most linked to pages.
Check the titles of those pages and with a high probability you will have his top converting keywords.

Thanks for your feedback,
So the key is to run adwords campaigns to test which words convert ..humm thanks ;0}
Wondering if those ppc/organic spy tools can help with determining what kw's the competitors are optimizing that are giving them top conversions in Organic SERP's ?

PS: As we are Germans, we use Sistrix, Searchmetrics, WISE for discovering the keywords of our competitors. I have no suggestion for the us/uk-market. But I hope SEOmoz will offer a keyword tool in the future

We have a 4-step-process for keyword-discovery:
- we do a brainstorming session and collect all keywords, that come to our minds
- we create an adwords campain an run all these keywords / phrases in broad match
- we keep only those combinations, that convert well
- we use "spy tools" to collect our competitors keywords / phases and restart with them at 2.

How do you keep track of the keywords you're working on ?
Hello Moz community, Let's suppose you're working on a +600 pages website and you are working on lots of keywords. I'd like to know if you had a database / excel / tool to know which keywords you've been targetting so that you don't create twice the same content ? Thanks for your answers

Do you know any competitive landscape tool ?
Hello Moz community, I wonder if you have tips / tools to build a good competitive landscape "picture" for your clients ? When i'm working on a pre-sales audit, i like to generate 100/200 keywords related to my prospect universe and then show him how well/bad positioned he is on this "market". To do so i use AdvancedWebRanking to monitor position of prospect + 3 competitors for this list of Keywords. Then i manually calculate a "market share" derived from each actor position. I wonder if there is a tool that can automatically do it ? For a list of keywords that you input. Thanks for your answers

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).

Separate Page for each Keyword - doesn't it sound to be a dead tactic?
Hi everyone, I wonder what you think about a strategy of creating new separate pages for each targeted keyword? Option 1. Something like this: website.com/keyword-1
Keyword Research | | seocentury
website.com/keyword-2
...
website.com/keyword-100 I think it is better to have all the keywords grouped and target pages for the groups instead of individual keywords. Option 2. Something like this: website.com/group-1
website.com/group-2
...
website.com/group-7 What is the option you would choose? Thanks & Regards.0 -
Accuracy of search volume for keyword planner v old keyword tool?
Hi there, I'm (logged into Google Adwords) and researching search volume for keywords but I'm seeing weird results. I know that the term "outage notification" had between 1000 and 5000 monthly global searches when I last looked (I know this because I add a search volume tag to the keywords I track ranking of via Moz). Yet, now when I check global search volume via keyword planner I'm seeing only 70 global searches per month (AND low competition which I know is not true). Is this perhaps because only the exact match is reported or is something else going on? Very frustrated as I have now lost faith in the keyword research process via Google keyword planner....not sure where to go from here!! Thanks very much

Can I get your input on keyword usage in the title tag
Hello fellow mozzers! I've been struggling with my title tag and would like to get your opinion. We provide IT services in the Los Angeles area. I've been doing keyword research for the past week and found about 400 keywords from various sources. I then looked at my top 5 competitors on Google and analyzed their homepage title tags, the most common keywords that they use in their title tags are: IT Support Los Angeles

Computer Support Los Angeles
Network Consulting Los Angeles
Network Support Los Angeles
IT Services Los Angeles Since it is recommended to have your title tag under 70 characters I've compiled the following title tag for my home page: IT Services, Network Consulting, IT and Network Support in Los Angeles which is exactly 70 characters, however my company name is an additional 9 characters, I think it would be wise to include in the title tag of the home page however I can't decide if I should exceed the limit by including the company name to the title tag or should I remove something from the title tag and then add the company name? 1. What do you guys think, is that a good title tag to use as is? 2. Should I add the company name without removing any keywords or remove a keyword? 3. I'm trying to target local traffic since I can't compete with the big dogs yet, so I want to be in the SERPs when someone searches IT Services Los Angeles, IT Support Los Angeles, etc... Do I need to add Los Angeles after each keyword, or I can use a single instance of Los Angeles like in the example title tag that I have? 4. For the other remaining 400+/- keywords I want to use some of them to create static pages and some for blog posts, is that the way to go? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!!0 -
On Page Optimization
Hey its question time for me today.....lol, I an using the SEOmoz On Page Optimization Tool and so far I have optimized my home page for one term"web design edinburgh" started at an F now its an A (Good Boy!) So I wasn wondering what poeples views were on the best way to do this? What I was thinking about doing was optimizing my site for 1 main Keyword/ Phrase per page. For instance Home Page - Keyphrase - "web design edinburgh" Web Design Page - "Web Development" not sure to make it" web development" or "web development edinburgh" SEO page - "Search Engine Optimisation" and so on........ So I would end up with a potential of say 6 landing pages each optimised for a certain keyword/phrase! Is this a good idea, or is there a better method I could employ? Thanks for sharing again. Kind Regards, Craig Fenton IT

How should I use keywords in a sentence?
The keywords that I target are phrases that wouldn't ever be used in a sentence... Ex: Stained Concrete Virginia My question is... Is it better to use the phrase, even though its odd? Ex: Stained Concrete Virginia is a great product Or is it better to make it a natural sentence? Ex: Stained Concrete in Virginia is a great product? Im trying to find a way to use my keyword phrases at least 4 times in the content of the pages...but it seems difficult if I have to use such an odd phrase. Thanks! Tim
