How to Handle SEO for Daily and Weekly Market Updates
-
I have a market news and education site focused on the bond market. Each day we have an end of day market wrapup piece. We also have several weekly pieces as well as pieces that come out once a month.
My question is how should I handle these from an SEO standpoint? When someone searches for "bond market update" for example I want my latest piece to show up in the results.
Similarly when someone searches for "savings bond interest rate forecast" I would also like the report for that month to be the one that they find.
Here are two examples of what I am talking about:

and
http://www.learnbonds.com/bond-market-recap-41712/
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the response mike I think those are some good general SEO tips.
Specifically what I am looking for however is advice on how to handle content which is similar in nature but updated on a regular basis like the example pieces I sited.
Any additional advice on that subject would be appreciated.
Thanks

David- No magic pixie dust solution...but there are a couple of things you need to start doing regularly:
#1: Make sure you are posting the new updates every week on the site. If it is truly original and unique content, either add them as a separate page or add them as a blog entry on your main url.
#2: Make sure they are keyword rich for your primary terms. Main keyword (your example "bond market update") should be in the title, the first sentence and the last sentence of the article. Make sure you mention other second tier level keywords in the main content t least 2-3 times (for example "bond" "Market update" "bond market". Make sure in each article you use underline, bold and italics at least once to highlight certain keywords, terms or phrases.
#3: Make sure your landing page has the article or a link to the correct article. If you are building seo value for only your home page, then make sure it is there.
#4: Make sure that you are leveraging as many online and offline PR outlets as possible with each release of information. You should be releasing the updates on your Facebook page; your twitter page; your linked in page; your rss feed; as well as any online news sources that are relevant to investment, market updates, etc......make sure they all have a link back to your main site or a landing page with anchor text.
All of the above are in addition to making sure you keep doing on page and off page optimization with a focus on your related main keywords. You can't eat an elephant in one bite....but if you continue to do the above on a regular basis, you will make big progress in getting your news articles ranked on the search engines.
Hope this helps. Please make sure if this is helpful that you give me the thumbs up!!!!! Thanks

Mobile Version SEO question
Hi there, Quick question on mobile SEO. Basically, I don't think I can effectively format my mobile website design unless I just build it as a collection of pictures. This way it'll be possible to format so it doesn't look a jumbled mess. My question - if my mobile version is just essentially HQ screenshots/pictures put together, how will that affect my SEO for mobile? PS if anyone has suggestions on how I can design my mobile version without affecting desktop I'd appreciate it. I'm using shopify and across many of the themes I've tried whatever I design on desktop has to format on mobile as well. To my knowledge only wix allows you to independently edit the mobile and desktop versions.

Blog or article length and SEO value
Why do different blog lengths affect SEO differently? Is it directly affected by Rankbrain or the Google Algorithm, or is it more because of user engagement?

Community Discussion - Should low-cost content providers be seen as viable options for content marketers?
Hello there, In the latest YouMoz post, "Case Study: How We Gained More than 100 Links for a Travel Website via Content Marketing," Tom McLoughlin recommends an idea for content creation that is sure to elicit strong opinions from all sides: "Websites like Fiverr and Upwork are fantastic resources for finding freelancers who do great work. It simply takes a bit of initial time to sift through and separate the wheat from the chaff. Once that’s done, give the freelancers a detailed brief and tell them exactly what you want." What's your opinion? Have you had good experiences using these sites? If so, what have you found as the keys to making the working relationship a success.

Updating blogs - SEO best practice
Thinking of new blog content and one option obviously is to check out historical popular blogposts via Analytics and do fresh versions of those. So my question is what is best practice: 1. Copy and paste the old blogpost copy but edit it to be slightly different while still having the old blogpost live or 2. just update the old one and re-promote I assume it's better to have a new version of the blogpost?

Will traffic to those posts help my serp rankings to terms i wouldnt specifically target in them? Say local terms such as my city wedding photographer? I know the blog posts would help others, and help give me industry authority, but i would like it if in addition it helps drive my local target market to my site. Thoughts?
