Google Webmaster Keyword Significance.
-
In my google webmaster tools the most significant keyword google attaches to my site is word 'VAT' as in, Value Added Tax. Followed by Basket.
I can see why this is, as the word VAT and Basket is on every product page, but it really is not a keyword I want to target.
Does this have any negative effect on other keywords I am targeting? What should I do about this?

On a forum site I have, "post" is one of my most common words. My personal opinion is that I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as some of the other stuff IS on target, and you're also not seeing signs that your site is hacked (it is time to get worried if you see pharma words as significant keywords).

Making the phrase "inc VAT" into an image that still looks just the same but isn't indexed via the text search would make it go away. But if every price includes VAT, why don't you just say, "All prices include VAT," and be done with it?
-
My newbie thought is it's fine to have VAT on every page, but if webmaster tools thinks that your site is about VATs so there needs to be more content to tell google otherwise. The only way to tell google what your site is about is through the content.
EGOL - how did I do

Hello,
I can't turn the VAT into an image, that makes no sense. I have to mention the VAT on each product, however I dont want it to focus on it as a keyword.
What I mean is, will this effect other keywords I am targeting?
Thanks.

It sounds like you are talkin' more about taxes than about your products.

That part of Google's webmaster tools is a bit crude, but if you want to get rid of that bit of text (as it's not helping you anyways) you could turn it into an inline image next to the price.

Keywords and content query
Hi we are in the process of redesigning a web site and I’m looking to ensure each of the pages are correctly optimized. I’m concerned that some of the pages do not allow for text or content . From an optimization perspective is there a general rule around the amount of text a page should have and the amount/ration of keywords they should contain? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Keyword Ranking Research Question
Hi Mozzers,This is probably a nooby question, but I was wondering how you guys end up deciding if a Keyword is too hard to rank for? Also vice versa, when do you decide that a keyword is too low volume to rank for so you try to rank for a harder keyword? Eg.

Competitive keyword ranking
Hi, I'm checking the SEOMoz keyword rankings report. I've set about 30 keywords and it's awesome to see how they rank and how many times they were clicked. However it would be interesting to see whether the keywords that I entered are competitive or not. It's not worth putting a lot of energy in making non competitive words rank higher I guess. So my question is: is it possible to see whether or not ranked keywords are competitive or not? Thanks!

Invisible Long Tail Keywords
I've been doing some research on SEOmoz and have seen some posts relating to invisible long tail keywords. I have a couple of questions relating to this: Am I correct to understand that an invisible long tail keyword won't show any search in a tool like the Google Keyword Tool? If not, how do you define it? If an invisible long tail keyword has almost no search (or search that can be proven by an SEO researcher), how can you be confident that it will produce results?
