Keyword Research?
-
What is the best way and best tool to conduct Keyword Research for my site? With the Pro service is there a way to find out better keywords to add to my website? I am receiving emails that my web site is being crawled and will be completed in seven days and so far this is not a "Report Card"? is that correct? Thanks for any information

Thank you for both responses. I really appreciate it. Have a good day!

For keyword research, I still have to say that the keyword tool for Google is my standard. I use others from time to time, but I believe Google does a good job with it. The other thing you can do is to look at what competitors are focusing on. (The caveat is that sometimes they are wrong so check to see that people are searching on a term before you go to the trouble to use it. Again Googles Keyword tool works great). One note here is to always try different applications as they come along. (I have never used SE Cockpit as Rusty suggests, so I will take a look soon.)
For your on page report card, go to Research Tools, click on On Page Optimization, Enter your keyword and the url, and click. In a moment Voila!
There are two ways to have your site crawled - one is in campaigns and the other is the crawl test. The campaign reports come out every Tuesday. For the crawl test, you will get a report usually within 24 to 48 hours.
Hope this helps,

For the "report" you go to the on page option in the menu at the dashboard. You should have that there. If there is nothing there by default, try clicking on the sub menu for report card and you can enter any URL you like in there. It needs to be for a keyword you've setup for one of your sites though.
I find this tool best for finding out what my competition is doing in regards to links. Where are they getting them and then I try to get them from the same place. That way I pretty much match anything they do plus I have my own links. I just go after their links with the highest page authority.
I've only been in for three weeks but for keyword research I like SE Cockpit. It frankly rocks. It has an API interface for SEOmoz so I get some moz data there. I just don't get the link information that I need. For that I'm coming here. This is a great tool to monitor your rankings and monitor your competition. You do that by setting up your competition in moz. I think in the link analysis.
I hope that helps.

Domain keyword ranking
I used to use Searchmetrics (years ago) which enabled me to add in the domain name into their website, and it would provide all the keywords that rank for it. Does Moz do that do you know? Thanks

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

Meta Keywords Dilution?
In general, does having a large number of meta keywords listed in a page's meta keywords line dilute effort? On other words, should I focus on optimizing for 1 or 2 keywords per page to keep my efforts focused and increase the probability of ranking better for those 1 or 2.....or should I put down all the keywords I would "like" to rank for? Thank You

Is this keyword cannibalization?
Hi, Is using keywords in different orders considered keyword cannibalization? for example, if I my client has a catering business based in mississauga, Ontario, should I create separate 2nd tier pages on the following keywords? 1. mississauga catering 2. catering mississauga 3. catering in mississauga Is that keyword cannibalization? The reason I ask is because it's often hard to find a good # of diverse keywords for local businesses that are also used more than a few times each month in the search engines. thanks, Martin
