Targeting combination of keywords
-
Hi,
On our website Vliegtickets.nl we are now targeting one combination of keywords " flights + destination".
We are working on a new website and we are rewriting texts for the launch. Our idea is to target again on the combination " flights + destination", but also target other combinations.
Our intention is to have a first introduction text targeted on " flights + destination" and have lower parts of texts (descriptions) targeted on the long tail, with use of keywords like flight / fly to / cheap tickets to etc.
Our page will be divided like this:
1. introduction text max 150 words (h1 + h2) targeted on " flights + destination"
2. box 2 Cityguide snippets / content in context of destination - targeted on city name
3. box 3. Question: target on new generic keywords + combination of destinationWhat is your point of view on box 3?
- Is it the right way to target a broader range of keywords?
- Should we use these long tail keywords (fly to / flights / cheap flights...) also in meta title / meta description / strong kwds, etc?
- Or will it be sufficient if we target on one combination and use those synonyms in a lower density?
- Or is it best to keep the focus on one main combination and other pages on other keyword combinations?
Best regards,
-
I would agree with both Andy and Shailendra. Keep your pages focussed and where possible, have pages with a dedicated purpose.
Create pages in a structured manner and as already mentioned, try and get a phrase into the URL, the page title, H1, etc., but ensure that your links can be followed easily by your visitors as well as the search engines. Embed a few links with strong anchor text into the page content where possible as well.
Good luck,
Andy

I feel like you are targeting too many keywords on the same page. It's better to target 2-3 keyphrases (broad + LSI) and craft content around it. It is very necessary to have an intuitive design and content that drives the user to the conversion page.
You should use primary keywords of the page in title, description and url (if possible)
Also, pages should not be deep and the site architecture should be flat.

As long as it doesn't impact user experience I would say target your keyword combinations on a page by page basis. This also allows you to use sculpted link text and one main page as your hub linking out to associated combinations, thus you provide a strong linking structure. The simple rule is that a single page cannot be king of all keywords, too many and you are diluting their power.

Let's say on my keyword If I take the 1 st 20 results of google they have an average number of words per page of 3000 words. On my page I only have 1500 words.

Keyword Rich Domain
We purchased a keyword rich domain name to use with an existing website. What is the best way to use this domain? Below are some thoughts, I welcome any input. Use this domain as an add-on to the main domain, but only have it load one page off the main domain? Would that cause duplicate content issues? Create a single static page of content for the domain (separate from main domain) Redirect domain to page on master domain, would we loose any benefits of the keyword rich domain? Thank you!

Optimized pages ranking lower than homepage with keywords
Ok, I know this question has been out there before, but i don't know how fo search for it specifically enough. I have several keywords that rank higher on my home page. As you know MOZ assigns keywords to whichever page on your site popping up in search first. So even though i have A-grade optimized pages for a particular keyword, that page may not pop up BEFORE the homepage for instance, on searches. In many cases, the homepage is grade "F" for a particular keyword, yet its pulling up first for most of my keywords. I know that my homepage has more rank because it gets the most visits and i'm sure we can't really optimize the homepage for EVERY keyword. What is the best thing to do in this situation? Do i just need to wait for my optimized page to catch up in rank, or is there a trick to optimizing homepage to ALL key words at grade "A" level? Do i need to keep back-linking to my optimized page directly to get the juice up? I created all these great optimized pages for specific keywords, but my homepage which shows "F" grade is the one pulling up 4th or 5th on searches Help??

Why is Google indexing either the singular or plural version of a keyword?
Hello Forum, We have just finished completely redoing a website and it seems that for several keywords either the plural or singular version is no longer being displayed in Google search results. For example, we sell yoga products, one of which is a bolster. In the SEO section of Google Analytics, the keyword "bolsters" has held a steady rank while "bolster" lost lots of rank and now no longer shows. Both keywords pointed to the same page and hold nearly equal rank, which has both keywords for "bolster" and "yoga bolster" Any idea what may be going on?
