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

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.

How much weight does UGC really have in SEO
Hi Guys....One of my sites has a blog and the site does very well overall.....however managing the blogs comments (fighting spam...attacks...general monitoring and approval) is becoming to much trouble. The blog itself really gets fed from facebook and most of the blog comments are done here. I am thinking of removing the comment section on the blog and only responding to facebook comments.....I am concerned though how much weight the "user generated content" carries with regards to SEO...it has always been said that it does carry weight but what if i get traffic to these pages and links but remove the comments ability... just really wanted to hear some opinions on this and how much respect i should give UGC. thanks for your time

How to fight the Panda/Farmer update?
I have been suffering majorly from the Google algo change, as I lost more than 50% of my traffic of my largest site. Since then I have been focusing on rewriting pages, and adding new ones. New pages are all of high quality up to 2,000 words each, and the improved pages used to be thin content pages, rewritten to about 1,000 words. All content is 100% unique. I have noticed Google still has the old pages cached, dated to more than a month back, despite new pages (linking to some of the old) being indexed. Anyway, I am pretty much desperate by now, and coul really use some advice how to fight this. FYI, I got some budget available and a writer stand-by. Thanks, Giorgio
