Would you consider this title to be keyword stuffing or bad?
-
A competitor uses the following format for all of their meta titles:
[Store Name] Voucher Codes, Cashback & Discount Codes | [Website Name]
They do vary their titles slightly, depending on which keywords are searched for, for the particular store.
What do you think about this title? I'm torn between it looking a little 'stuffy' but them also getting across the point that their page offers all of that.

I wouldn't consider it keyword stuffing, reads pretty naturally, but it also looks like the same thing everyone else does... how would that stand out in these SERPs? What would make someone click yours over someone else's on this ultra dull list? Literally no one stands out.

Hi Vick,
To be sure I understand it correctly, the titles look like this
Olive Garden Voucher Codes, Cashback & Discount Codes | ThisSite.com
Walmart Voucher Codes, Cashback & Discount Codes | ThisSite.com
BestBuy Voucher Codes, Cashback & Discount Codes | ThisSite.comIn such case that makes perfect sense to me.
Title 1 would be going for keywords like:- Olive Garden Voucher Codes
- Olive Garden Cashback
- Olive Garden Discount Codes
And depending on the [sites name] they could actually have more keyword combos using this method.
Your concern is valid, and this site may have an issue if they were just trying to target broader keywords like "Voucher Codes" & "Discount Codes". Since those keywords have a broader scope, and they are repeated on many pages search engines may have a trouble assigning a certain page to those search terms. However, those keywords while broader may have less search volume then the targeted keywords.
My thoughts,
Don

No, it seems fine to me, tells me what you are up to - keyword stuffing is more along the lines of:
Dress, Best Dresses, White Dresses, Green Dresses | Dress Shop
Which believe it not people still do...

It certainly displays what they do. It isn't key word stuffing either. Personally, I would prefer it to look like...
Voucher Codes | Cash-back | Discount Codes - [Website Name]
Just personal preference. Does yours need the store name as well?

Keywords used to land on specific page?
Hi all, Does anyone know if there's anywhere where I can see what keywords are used in search engines to land on a specific page? I have access to the Google Analytics account and linked it to Moz as a campaign, but I can't find this data. I'm curious about this because a very uncommon word is used in a page title for a page I try to optimize. It's the Dutch translation of 'malicious'. And now I wonder if it's better to switch to a word that's used more often. Or if it's better to 'win the battle' on this (probably) rarely used word. I've used Google trends to see how many people use it, but it says there's not enough data to show the interest over time.

Website accessible on http and https. Is it bad?
We noticed that our website is accessible on: http://www.example.com and https://www.example.com Both the versions have page rank of 4. Though on https version we have added canonical tag indicating http:// version as preferred. Is this fine or we need to use 301 redirect and let the site be accessible only on http:// version??

Lead With Branded Keywords or Descriptive Keywords in Page Title for (Niche) Site?
Our site is hingeheads.com, and our products and product catalog are unique in two ways. For one our product is not something that people are generally aware of, and secondly our entire product catalog consists of different variations of the same product. **Catalog Overview: **http://hingeheads.com/collections/all Product Example: http://hingeheads.com/products/dolphin I keep wondering if it is better to lead the title with "branded keywords" [1] or with "descriptive keywords" [2]? Dolphin HingeHead | Unique Home Decor & Gift Idea | HingeHeads Dolphin Decor Accessories & Unique Gift Ideas | HingeHeads I am currently going with the second solution, but I am always wondering if that's the right/better solution. I am curious to hear feedback from people who have more experience with this than I do. How would you structure the title for our product pages? Thanks! Kai

Keyword stuffing ?
howdy people, I had a quick question about keyword stuffing. I am creating a page on my website and on the page i am going to have multiple links, around 15 or so. they all have the word "pickup line" which will be hyperlinked to the respected page. this page is going to serve as a sort of directory to all the various pick up lines, "cheesy", "funny", "dirty" etc. I have written some content on this page as well. I wanted to know that since the keyword "pickup" line will be showing up a lot ( in hyper link form) will this be considered keyword stuffing? for this page

Title tag questions
General title tag questions how important is it not to change your title tag, I own a prom dress site and I'm always changing them between prom and homecoming' Is it bad to have title tags that are only different by one word across thousands of pages on your site. I have thousands of dresses so each title tag only varies by the style # I have always had title tags that are for example black prom dresses, well i recently discovered that just black dresses is googled 10 times the amount so im debating changing them to black dresses so that the word dresses is closer to the front of the title tag, am I over reacting or is that a good idea or would it be bad to put black dresses, black prom dresses, black homecoming dresses I also put the year in almost every title tag 2012, is that bad, I ranked great for 2012 stuff but could it hurt my homepage domain rankings on major broader keywords
