Keywords per Page
-
Iv'e looked through the QA here and there are a lot of different conflicting opinions on what is a generally a good idea.
For Example
- Florist Clearwater
- Clearwater Florist
- Florist in Clearwater
- Florist in Clearwater FL
- Clearwater FL Florist
- Clearwater Florida Florist
- Florist in Clearwater Florida
- Florist near Clearwater FL
- etc....
So for something like this example....should I have one page represent all of these keyword iterations or split them among different pages?
-
don't forget plural "florists"
if your site is targeting just clearwater then it should be spread out across the site and not just on one page.
These are too many variations to have on one page BTW. it would look like spamming and not good for readability.

I think this is a fair assumption to make Benjamin. I imagine that Google would semantically link all of those terms together. I'd create a single page and try and use as many iterations of the original keyword as possible - but don't stuff them of course.
-
Sorry, I didn't understand the initial question.
But yes they are extremely similar. The location and keyword is the same throughout all the terms. I think it would be best to have them in a single page.

Hey William,
Thanks for the response but let me clarify. I don't want to get into the tactics for on page keywords per page.
Rather I would like see what SEO's opinions are about if all of these keywords.
Do they accurately represent the same search intent for a local user?
and more importantly does google?
If both are yes then I should have these all assigned for a single page on my website. Correct?
Regards,

Your main focus should just be one keyword and different instances of the keyword.
Lets say focus on Florist Clearwater..you want to have that maybe 1-4 times throughout the page(depends how much content is on that page) and then you want to connect florist with lets say flowers and then you want to connect Clearwater and Florida.
I hate visiting sites and seeing blatant mass keyword terms on a page. It is not good SEO. You should just focus on a single term and then have different instances of your keywords in a way the user can benefit from it.
Try not to clutter the keywords into your page and Google is usually pretty good at connecting different keywords and connecting them in terms.

We have 5 postions on page 2 in a google search, but none on page 1\. How can we fix this?
For one of our most important key phrases we have 5 listings on page 2 but none on page 1. We are an ecommerce company, the key phrase we're trying for is a Top Level Category name for us, so the 5 links we have on googles second page for the key phrase (in order) are the appropriate top level category page, the sites home page and than three sub categories of that top level category. So while that all makes sense, can't we convince google to concentrate all that link power/juice into just the top level category page? Hopefully bumping it to first page rank? The 5 ranks are 11-15

Is On Page SEO Dead?
Hey Guys, Search Engine Roundtable has published a short post about this a few days ago, quoting senior member at WebmasterWorld forums who said: "The way I see it, on-page text today is for the "relevance" part of the total algorithm. The whole algorithm is, in broad strokes, "relevance + connectedness + quality". After you've clearly stated the relevance of the page, then the rest of your ranking power comes from elsewhere. I've added on-page bold tags with no effect. I've added or changed h1 elements with no effect. Not too long ago, those might well have done something, but that's not the game anymore. And moving from a table layout to a CSS-P layout today might get you nowhere, too. It all depends how deeply complicated the table layout was, I think." http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/4408395.htm Is it true? Is on-page SEO really dead? What do you think?

Old pages
I have a site where I have 5,000 new products each year, I never waned to deleted the old pages due to links pointing to them and keywords. But I now have 20,000 plus pages, does having that many pages spread out my link juice or does it effect me in any other ways over having a site with 5,000 pages or should I keep not deleting old pages so I dont loose any links? Along with that I currently do not link to my old pages from my site so Im guessing google does not get to them very often if at all, if you agree to still keep them should I link to them somewhere? Because the products are not that simiiar and they do bring added value I dont think canonical would work here

Similar Keywords/Different Pages
My question is about my content strategy regarding keywords and page creation. For this example I will use the following keywords: "widget financing" "widget leasing" "widget loans" "thingy financing" "thingy leasing" "leasing loans" "whatchamacallit financing" "whatchamacallit leasing" "whatchamacalit loans" You get the idea. Now I have created a separate page for each of these keywords. There are about 70 keywords and their respective pages. Although all of these describe the same thing I have re-written each page. In other words I didn't use the same content and just substituted the keywords. Each page is roughly 200 to 500 words. I do rank very well for most of these keywords. I would post some of the pages from my site here but I didn't know if that is frowned on. My fear/concern is will I get in trouble in a "post Panda" world. Again, the pages rank very well I just want to be in good graces with Google going forward.

Why home page ranks higher than keyword-optimized page
We have a page that is optimized for the keyword "job scheduling". A search on the keyword "job scheduling" results in this page not ranking at all, while our home page (uc4.com) ranks third. Could you provide some ideas/suggestions as to why this would be the case and how to make our job scheduling page rank higher? Thanks, claudia

Does keyword density on a landing page effect SEO?
I'm relitavely new to SEO, and I just wondered how keyword dense the homepage to our businesses site should be? Is there any value in loading the frontpage at the potential expense of readibility, or should our content elsewhere be responsible for our yield in search engine results? Look forward to any responses. Thanks, Mark
