If I put some keywords in my pages might it optimize my homepage?
-
Let's say that I write content in some random pages in my websites - is there a possibility that it will affect and optimize my home page for the same keywords?
Hope you understand & sorry for my bad English!
-
I do put 9 popular product in my home page. The thing is that I don't know how to promote this page.
-
And on this ecommerce home page, are there 2 or 3 products that you can focus your SEO on?
You might focus on these 2 or 3 based on the following:
- Highest profit margins/product
- Most popular
- Easiest to sell/produce
It's frequently worthwhile to focus your SEO efforts onto these product pages, because:
- You can focus your keywords a lot better
- Users can buy directly from this page (on the home page, they have to choose/think, and you're going to lose a lot of users!)
- You can sell to a much more targeted set of users!
What do you think? Does it fit your needs & constraints?
-
It's an e-commerce home page.
-
@Rephael - what kind of a web page is it? Is it ecommerce, blog, business home page?
P.S. By the way, if you find my answers helpful, please thumbs up!

Thanks for your response Andrew.
The thing is that when I will create landing pages with the keywords that I want to get promoted in my homepage it will take the traffic to the landing pages instead of my homepage and that's a problem.
What should I do about it?
-
Here's a good place to start working on that topic. The Content Marketing Manifesto.
-
@Rephael -
Here are some ideas:
- Create & use landing pages: It'll attract more a focused user group, and it'll help you sell better. There's only so many keywords you can stuff on a page before Google starts penalizing you.
- Create content pages and promote your content through link building, social media
- Try to be clever to come up with reasons people should visit your site and link to your site
-
@rephael - It will only do a small amount for your home page. Nonetheless, you should do it!
Here is why the impact will be small
There are a couple layers that you should pay attention to:
-
Page-level
-
EXAMPLE: www.example.com/products/apples VERSUS www.example.com/products/bananas
-
IMPACT: The keywords MOST STRONGLY affect the particular page that you are on
-
WHY: The keywords specify what's on the page you're on. This is the "room" you're in.
-
Subdomain-level
-
EXAMPLE: kipjacksnauticalliving.blogspot.com VERSUS blogspot.com (notice how they're very different web sites?)
-
IMPACT: The keywords LOOSELY affect the particular page you're on
-
WHY: The subdomain is the site that you're currently in. This is like the "house" you're in. This gives Google clues about what your entire website is about.
-
**This is what you're asking about in. **
-
Domain-level
-
Don't worry about this. It's not really relevant
Here is why you should still do it
- The more keywords you place on all your web pages, the more information Google's crawler will have
- The more Google's crawler knows about your website, the more confidence it will have to rank you for targeted keywords
- This is just one piece of the SEO work that you need to do -- part of the basic steps.
- However, it won't lift your rankings. The way I think about it is that it will simply make it a stronger candidate for the keywords when you start getting links from other subdomains with the same keywords.

Thanks for your answer Chris. I link to my homepage from all of my pages in my website. My purpose is to get more traffic to my homepage to some specific keywords and I don't know how to get it except of writing quality content in my homepage with those keywords.
Can you suggest me on this issue?
-
Rephael,
That's not going to do much for your homepage search results. It may help a bit more, however, if you link to your homepage from those other pages with those keywords--but only a bit, if at all.

I have two keywords. If I combine them do I get credit for both keywords?
For example I have a keyword - IPA Beer, and I have a keyword - IPA Beer Kit. If I use the keyword IPA Beer Kit will I get the benefit of the IPA Beer keyword as well as the IPA Beer Kit keyword? Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help!

Decide which keyword to check
Hi. I made 3 different keywordlists. based on the following rules: list 1: top 50 of best ranking keywords of this campaign list 2: Top 50 keywords with highest volume in adwords and related to the website list 3: Top 50 last month used keywords by our clients from GWT Now i want to make one top 50 list keywords i want to track and optimize the landingpages for it. What is the best way to choose from these three lists. There are a lot of overlaps (especialy in list 1 and 3.) so those keywords have preference. But how about keywords with high volume and high difficulty, related to the website, and low ranking? i leave the conversion out of it for now, first goal is to get much traffic as possible.

Google Keyword Tool
Hello, Is the Google Keyword Tool the only reliable source for stats on keyword search volume on Google? The tool returns "no data" results for keywords I would expect to have some, if not much, search volume. I would like to cross-check these results, if possible. Thanks!
