Long tail traffic - what is the best way to go back and add focus to repetitive long tail keywords?
-
Hey everybody,
So, our niche doesn't have a million and a half searches per month, which makes a handle full of visitors look mighty enticing to a CMO
Our price point is very high too, so to the question, is it worth taking the time to put a whole new content strategy in line for a few new visitors, the answer is yes.
Now's the hard part.
How on earth do I make 1,000 pages for similar topics?
Is making new pages the best way to go about this? (probably so right? It's the only thing that I can see that would certainly increase likelihood of being more relevant, plus if I don't I will be missing out on the benefits of beefing up our site, AND the opportunity to more specifically answer a users query.)
With phrases like "keyword" and "aftermarket keyword," the searcher is asking for two totally separate collections of results.
I'm always reading about the importance of being there throughout the buyers complete purchasing /research process, which makes me think that considering doing anything other than creating unique pages is simply missing out..
Suggestions?
Massive Content Strategy Help?
Anybody?
Thanks,

Yes content is important but having 300 pages will spread you link juice and authority across your site. So if your home page has a strong authority but your site has 300 pages you might not rank for your main terms. The less page's your site has the more link juice each page has.
Solution: build 10 pages targeting the best keywords you can find and create 990 blog posts on your site linking to these 10 pages giving these pages authority and relevancy.

Well, I think that the pages are a necessary part of the content strategy really.
It's almost more of a question of how to go about doing it.
Also, what if I just work towards blogging a few times a day about the 1,000 keywords?

Hi Tyler,
"How on earth do I make 1,000 pages for similar topics?" Do you have 1,000 keywords?
I would not recommend building 1000 pages to your site just to have massive amounts of content. However, as you described "the opportunity to more specifically answer a users query." is the goal.
Instead of focusing on building 1000 pages focus on what your users are looking for and the best time/way to deliver that message. Weather its social media, guest blogging, attending an event and doing a massive PR, experimenting and optimizing will drive results.
Ideally you want to create a page targeting 1, 2 keywords max, and build links to these pages via an internal blog (If you do not have a blog on your site, add one). A user will most likely scan a page in 5 seconds and if they dont find what they are looking for they will look for another result, so make sure the content you are creating is relevant to the searchers keyword phrase typed. You can discover how your users found your site in Google Analytics and tweak the page to serve the user efficiently.
Hope this helps

Keyword stuffing as per the on-page grader
Hi Moz Community, I've recently become a Moz Pro user and I very impressed with the insights that it has to offer. However, I have been using the on-page grader to evaluate this page and it suggests that I am using the keyword "kiln dried logs" too many times and not to use more than 15 times. I have a slight dilemma because my product titles all contain this keyword and I wanted to get somebody's take on where the "15 repetitions" comes from and if it is better for me to strip this keyword out of my product titles to fall within the guidelines? Should I optimize just my main category page for this keyword at the expense of potentially losing traffic for my product pages? Any input would be much appreciated.

Keyword stuffing when brand includes keyword
Hi If you have managed to combine brand name with primary target keyword do you still need pay attention to on page keyword stuffing ? since one would expect plenty of brand references in the body copy ? Or is it still best to reduce instances of the keyword aspect ? For example if site is called 'Franks Service Centres' and you have lots/too many instances of 'service centres' in the body copy a/c to MA on-page grader, should you reduce some instances of the kw ? All Best

What's the best way to handle crawling of photo gallery?
When you have a photo gallery with many search filters and loads and loads of pages, is it best to block all the filters and use google's pagination code? Ex: http://photo.net/gallery/photocritique/filter This site has pages for many different queries. While the page titles are unique, the pages are showing duplicated content.

Optimizing for another keyword than the menu name
Hi I would like to hear if someone could help me decide whether or not it is important regarding SEO that the menu name is the same as the keyword we want to rank for. The site is a static site and one of our most important keywords. To give an example. Our menu name is "cars" and we want to rank for "cheap rental cars".

How to best use our blog posts for SEO?
My company recently created a WordPress hosted blog. It is hosted completely separate from our company site. The primary domain for the blog is blog.mydomainname.com, but we immediately created a folder within our company website for www.mydomainname.com/blog that has a reverse proxy to the blog itself. I'm curious though if we should consider taking the content from the blog posts and re-creating that within our company website as well? The blog posts are very good SEO rich content, and we always struggle to find new content to put on our company website as it is already. Would like to get some folks thoughts on this. Thanks!

Keyword vs Brand Domain Name
Hi guys, I'm about to launch a new site for a friend who is an accountant in a specialist field. He's already bought 2 domains: **www.[keyword]-accountants.net ** **www.[brand]accountants.com ** We have made the decision to use the brand domain to host the site but what can we do with the keyword domain as exact match domains still seem to be ranking well in the serps? e.g. build keyword links to the keyword domain (heavily seo'd content) and build brand links to the brand domain (conversion-optimised content) then after while 301 the keyword domain? Any new suggestions will be gratefully received!
