Title tag question
-
Hi,
If I wanted to rank for 'cheap football boots' and 'football boots' which tag would be the best option:
1. Cheap Football Boots (notice both keywords im targeting are included)
2. Cheap Football Boots, Football Boots (both keywords separate)
and the keywords sit on an EMD (cheapfootballboots.co.uk)
Cheers

Online Football Boot Store, Buying Football Boots, something of that nature that would imply buying. I like using keywords that don't necessarily have the product in them, but target the lifestyle of the shopper. Good luck on your Quest!

I like these... they present the keyword and then a value proposition.

i am not sure about how much juice you can get with the anchor text's pointing to same word.
as i read some where that it is better to have different pages and different keywords linking to your site to get max.. i mean with the cheap football boots and football boots should lead to different pages in your domain..
correct me if i am wrong

Thanks for the replies.
One other thing I thought about as well, was when link building if the anchor text was 'cheap football boots' would this benefit both terms at the same time? basically kill to birds with one stone or would mixing it up a bit with some 'cheap football boots' and some 'football boots'.

may be you can try
Cheap Football Boots with one day free shipping
or
Cheap Football Boots sale for children
as Heather mentioned if you are targeting local clients in your area add your location..
-
Surely first one is better. If you look at the second one than football boot makes up nearly 50% of the the text which is close to keyword stuffing. One other option could be to use like cheap football boots - football boots to indicate google that those are two totally different querries you are targeting, but I would defintely use the first one only. In addition you have both words in your domaini as well.

Hi there
I don't think it's necessary to repeat 'football boots' as it could look a bit spammy, so I'd go with option 1, but then expand a little, taking it up to 60 characters or so.
For example: add in your location if you have a bricks and mortar shop and want to target local searches, or perhaps think seasonal and add 'Christmas deals', 'back to school', etc.
Hope that helps
Heather

Page rank question
Hi all, pretty standard SEO question that I'm sure you are all getting asked day in, day out... the following page: http://www.3wisemonkeys.co.uk/dvd/portable-dvd-player-car/ It's targetting keywords "portable dvd", "portable DVD player", "portable DVD players" & "portable dvd player for car". The page gets a grade A via Moz analytics On-page grader for the keywords. We have incoming links and I believe the page is structured correctly with all meta tags, H1 etc and tried not too overload the tags with keywords. We have the keywords in the URL etc. We are still stuck on page 2 for all phrases. Any thoughts or suggestions as to what we are doing wrong please? Any help would be great.

Punctuation at the Start of Page Titles
one of my clients appears to be using an exclamation mark (e.g. "! Graphic Prints By Mirrorin - Fun Childrens Graphic Prints") and to be completely honest, I have no idea if this is bad practice or if it wont have any affect from an SEO point of view? Any help would be appreciated because it is site wide, therefore if it is an issue I would like to be able to get it sorted asap! Thanks

A question on cached pages
Hi all. I have been testing different ways of writing the text on the homepage of the website www document-management-solutions co.uk because we are ranking very low for the keyword Document Management Software. I've recently learnt about pages being 'cached' and wanted to just clarify something. The last time the page was cached was on 26th March. I have made changed to the homepage since then and wanted to see how it has affected our ranking. Will I not be able to know if it has had a positive/negative effect until the next time our page is cached? Thanks

Title tag formatting
So I thought I had Title tags cracked... Unique to each page Priority phrases at the start Under 70 characters inc spaces No spamming of keyword phrase Brand at the end But do people believe that this structure is bad? <keyword 1="" phrase="">| <keyword 2="" phrase="">|<brand></brand></keyword></keyword> and that Title tags should now be structure more like full sentences? And does using the same keyword phrase on several pages dilute or cannibalize results? Thanks

Title tags in duplicate pages
hi there, we have a new ecommerce platform which has just been deployed, and I've been asked to tidy up the onpage SEO. we have employed canonicals across the category and product pages and we now have a nice set of unique product pages my question is - do we need to create the title tags in all of the duplicate non-canonical pages eg www.mysite.com/niceproduct.html (canonical) www.mysite.com/acategory/niceproduct.html (duplicate) Can we leave the duplicate title tag empty and not worry about it, or should we put in a duplicate of the canonical title tag hope the question makes sense! thanks in advance for all help
