Way of including Keyword into content
-
Hi all!
My website is that of a large 7 bedroom luxury villa in Barbados (www.bruadair.com). Now, I am having problems understanding how i can include my targeted keywords in to my content without it looking unnatural and disrupting the quality of the content.
I wish to use the keyword phrase 'Large luxury villa in Barbados' however including this directly into on-page elements seems to look unnatural. My current content on my home page is as follows 'Bruadair is a large luxurious villa situated on the prestigious Platinum West Coast of Barbados, located in a beautiful tropical setting with gorgeous beaches just minutes walk away'
I want to rank for this keyword however changing to 'Bruadair is a large luxurious villa in Barbados, located in a beautiful tropical setting with gorgeous beaches just minutes walk away' degrades the quality of the content... is there anyway i can get round this issue?
I greatly appreciate any help/advice given to my problem!
Thanks once again,
T

Howdy!
Not necessarily.....I think having competitive keywords means you will have to work a little harder (and smarter) to rank better. Try shortening your keyword phrases....Luxury villas, Large villas, Villas for rent, 7 bedroom villas, etc...All of which could be placed in the content area. I'm sort of new to SEO but in my studies you want keyword rich content. However not to the point that you make it unreadable. Keep the user in mind! Place the keyword you want to rank for in the H1 tag, try putting it in alt tags for images, and in bold at least once. Also I would place your brand name (company name) near the keyword as well so people start associating your company with those keywords.
Your title tag could say something like this:
Large luxury Villas with 7 bedrooms - Name of Company | Barbados
Large luxury Villas with 7 bedrooms - Barbados | Name of Company
Just remember to keep that 70 character limit in mind, and that Google usually uses the title tag as the display link in the organic search results!

Thank you, point taken about keyword placement and usage!
The problem i seem to have with my keywords for this site is that all the keywords i wish to use 'luxury villa in Barbados' 'large villa in Barbados' etc all are extremely competitive and it seems that long tail keywords such as 'large 7 bedroom villa for rent in Barbados' generate no monthly searches (according to the google keyword tool).
With this in mind is it not achievable for me to generate organic traffic through search engines due to the lack of non competitive keywords?

Hello
The first sentence looks alright to me.
'Bruadair is a large luxurious villa situated on the prestigious Platinum West Coast of Barbados, located in a beautiful tropical setting with gorgeous beaches just minutes walk away'
But I'd change the second addition a bit. Including "large luxurios villa" twice seems a bit over the top. Also, this is hardly a keyword that will generate much traffic and matching it twice exactly will look a bit spammy.
For more information about this luxury villa in Barbados do not hesitate to give us a call.

Hey there,
I'd write 'Bruadair is a large luxurious villa situated on the prestigious Platinum West Coast of Barbados, located in a beautiful tropical setting with gorgeous beaches just minutes walk away'
For information about this l_arge luxurious villa in Barbados do not hesitate to give us a call._
Or something similar to this.... That way you keep the original content plus add the specific keywords...
Hope this helps

Thank you for the reply!
Ok i understand your point, but if i wished to rank for that keyword would i have to include it in its complete from within the content?
It is also difficult to simply put 'large luxurious villa in Barbados' in say the title or the url....based on this keywords difficulty to place in important on page elements would it just be best to try and target a new, more 'page friendly' keyword?
Thanks!

But it is a large luxurious villa in Barbados! I've seen many worse cases of aiming for KW with less than irrelvant copy than this. But for advice, questions and context (why someone would rent the house) can be good. So, talking about a large family for instance, or group, you could ask do you need a large luxurious villa in Barbados.. then stating why yours fits the bill.
Think in terms of questions and needs (who your villa would suit) and then writing the content should be easier.

Best Practices For Keyword Optimization
Hey currently building a new page on a clients site in the weight loss niche. The keywords he wants to rank for are the following: <colgroup><col width="198"> <col width="64"></colgroup>
Keyword Research | | monster99
| [fat burning foods] | 49500 |
| [foods that burn fat] | 22200 |
| [fat burning foods for women] | 2900 |
| [belly fat burning foods] | 2900 |
| [best fat burning foods] | 1900 |
| [fat burning foods for men] | 1900 |
| [list of fat burning foods] | 720 | His site is new, but he has excellent content production capabilities. My question is, in terms of optimizing the page (the title and url) for these keywords would you focus on the highest volume keyword. In this case the highest volume keyword is "fat burning foods" however is the most competitive and dominated by high domain authority sites (50+ vs. clients site which is around 30). Thus its highly unlikely he will rank for that keyword for quite a while. But for the keyword term "best fat burning foods" the competition is alot less in terms of DA and other factors but volume is smaller with 1900 hits a month. So would you optimize the page (the title and url) for "best fat burning food" or would you optimize thinking about the long-term and eventually ranking the keyword "fat burning foods". My thinking would be to optimize the page for "fat burning foods". And that the benefits of optimizing (url and title) for "best fat burning foods" isn't ideal for the long-run. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Cheers, Mark0 -
What makes a highly competitive keyword anyway?
Hello guys, so I'm still wet behind the ears and am currently reading SEO an Hour a Day, as well as going through the Moz tutorial. But I do have a question that's been confusing me a bit. I've been doing keyword research here and there and I will get a "Highly Competitive" keyword (61%) at times. So then I try to go through each of the top 10 pages to see the anchors that they've used and how many backlinks there are to that page. A lot of the times the page with have 0 backlinks and a very low page authority (like 1) but it will still rank in 2, or 3. So what exactly makes it competitive? I know I must be missing something super simple here! Maybe I'm not accurately assessing the anchor/backlinks to that specific keyword. I use backlinkwatch, opensite explorer and the keyword difficulty report. Thanks guys!

Question about keyword analysis
I am working on a keyword analysis for a range of keywords. I want to target these keywords in the Denver market. I know if you search google for something like "IT Support" and you are located in Denver it knows where you are and caters the results to be more Denver IT Support oriented. I did notice that those results are different than if you search for "Denver IT Support" My pages are optimized for the Denver market and the keyword like "IT Support" but I am a bit confused on how I should be doing my research into keywords. Should I be putting Denver into all my keyword analysis research even though I still want to rank for just the keyword when they are searching from the Denver area. I hope this all makes sense. I guess I just need some guidance on how to deal with the location specifics of my keywords. Thanks in advance for any help.

A question about local longtail keywords
Hello all. This is my first interaction with SEOmoz, and I am still in my learning phases. I currently own a lawn fertilization company near Allentown, PA. I do the site for myself, and I am ranked number one for organic lawn care for my cities. My question may seem kind of elementary, but I just want to clear this up for myself. I want to start a side business doing SEO, and from what I gather step one is keyword research. I plan on building new sites to start as opposed to going in and fixing existing ones. So, I've been reading a lot on how to do keyword research and so forth. I will use my current business as a reference for my question. Should my main keywords be along the lines of "lawn care" and "lawn services", and then the location specific stuff be seperate? Or should my main keywords be "lawn care allentown, pa"? I plan on running my business solely for local businesses, so I am not to interested in competing with the entire world for keywords. I just wasn't sure how to differentiate my keyword research for local business. I hope that question made some sense. I am really starting to grasp the elements of SEO, but for some reason the keyword part of things perplexes me. Thanks for any responses!

Is it bad to optimize for tier one keywords only?
Hello, My site is about personalized cards, and I have optimized (rank A) each sample page to the main topic of the card (eg: sapo pepe). So when people search for that keyword (sapo pepe), my page ranks high. Now, if instead of checking the optimization for "sapo pepe" I check for "cards sapo pepe" I get an F, because the keyword is not there. Thing is that people search for different tier 2 keywords, like "cards, models, examples, etc" and I cannot put that many keywords in the page... My question is: does Search Engines rank you high if you optimize your page for a subset of the keywords people search for? I understand that if someone optimizes for "cards sapo pepe" they would get higher than my site. Hope I was clear, any comment is appreciated! Thanks, MAriano

Which is best for keywords; plurals vs singular
Hello! This is my first question so I hope it will be a good one and everyone finds it useful; I have found many conflicting views and need some clarification. Question: When it comes to optimising for specific keywords, which is best; plurals or singular? Example: Should I optimise for 'conveyor' with medium competition and a larger local [exact] traffic volume, or go for 'conveyors' with a higher competition and a slightly smaller local [exact] volume of traffic? Obviously this example is a bit of no brainer as I would tend to sway towards the lower competition with a good volume of traffic to be more competitive, but when the terms are so closely linked, would it be wise to cover both grounds now and go for 'conveyors'? What is general consensus out there? Thanks in advance! Richard
