Best Practice for Non-Cannibalisation of Money Term
-
Say I have a site which sells widgets.
Site structure is as follows:
- Home
- Widgets
- Blue Widgets
- Green Widgets
- Red Widgets
- About Us
- Contact Us
I know the money term is "blue widgets". Not "widgets" (as this is too generic, and blue/red/green widgets are only a subset of the whole 'widget' universe).
How do I prevent the site from cannibalising this keyword? Do I only try to make www.mywidgetsshop.com/blue-widgets the main page for blue widgets or do I try and make the home page rank for this phrase?

Double listing - all the way!
-
Go for the deep page lining and aim to achieve the double listing like EOLG has suggested!
-
Thanks - good point on the #1 and #2 slots!
-
Google currently ranks multiple pages from the same site so if you have mojo for "blue widgets" you can get #1 and #2 in that SERP. I have seen four or five pages from a single domain ranking for a single keyword.
IMO cannibalization is an opportunity for me and a problem for my competitor.

Title tag best practices when domain and brand are the same
I know the old standard for title tag optimization is to use your brand name in the title for a multitude of reasons, all of which are indisputable The most important reason being any strength and awareness can aid in click-thru. But does this hold true for exact match domains? Considering the way a search result is displayed, any awareness and strength derived from using the brand in the title is automatically included in the search result of an exact match domain without having to sacrifice valuable characters in the title. The organic value (or value beyond simply seeing the brand displayed and nothing else) can't have that much of an impact, can it? For Example, given the result attached, is it worth it to repeat dog.com in the title if it is already showing in the result? dog.png
