Hello Russ,
I have another question concerning content suggestions. If I get it right the content suggestions are "topic" that I should cover in my content. Let's take the keyword "Dordogne family bike tour" (one of my keywords). Moz content suggestions tell me the I covered Rocamadour. However, I also have Sarlat in my text but apparently content suggestion doesn't say I covered it ...
Why ? I have an idea !
I believe that in order to cover a " topic" you need what I would call "indicator words" that are part of the same semantic group as the "topic" I am trying to cover correct ?
For the world "Sarlat" it seems that I don't have any words related to "Sarlat", whereas I have words related to Rocamadour. Is it correct ?
How do I know which words are semantically connected to Rocamadour ? How do I know if it is the word, hilltop village, pilgrimage destination, Chapelle Notre dame, the Black Madonnna status , all of those words or other words that triggered the fact that Rocamadour is covered ?
Finally, does or do the words that trigger need to be in the same sentence, same paragraph or anywhere on the webpage is ok ?
Thank you,

Thank you Gianluca for the info that confirms what I thought.
My only issue with keyword research those days is that tools like the keyword tool are good for high volume searches such as "usb key", "cheap flights to Europe" and so on but when you have keyword that are requested just 10 or 30 times a months I haven't found a way to find the related keyword to use on my page. I tried to see what the keyword tool as well as other tool give me and compare the results to the webpages that rank for those keywords and I can't find any related keywords in those pages that those tools give me...
My guess is that those tools only give me a small percentage of what google knows. Do you know of any other way / tool to find related keyword for low volume searches.
Thank you,

Enriching your keyword thesaurus with the words Google bolds in the SERP for your main keyword is correct.
In fact, they are synonyms or what Google as "synonyms" of your keywords or "query".
I do the same, and it works... albeit it's a very manual procedure, so I wouldn't recommend it as a general task you do for every keyword you are targeting.

Thanks Russ for your detailed reply. So if I get it right when I do my keyword research for the keywords bike tours france for example. if when I groupe keywords I find a group that says bike tours France loire valley and see related phrasesin that group with the word castle, French etc... that means I need to surround my expression with those words ?
Can I alao surrounded with bolded worded found in the serps ? I noticed they are sometimes slightly different.
Is there any other way to find semantically related keywords or does the keyword tool give most of what google has in it’s system ?
Thank you,

The Related Topics model in our various content auditing tools finds and recommends topics based on the content of the page. It uses a single model that, IIRC, is built on finding noun phrases and their close relatives.
In the keyword explorer tool, we offer a combination of several types of related keywords. We offer standard phrase matching, real-time suggestions scraping, similar SERP analysis, and finally a related keywords based on Word2Vec modeling. The "Based on Closely Related Topics" drop down filter in Keyword Explorer is the closest algorithm to the Related Topics you find in our content auditing tools, but they are different in a number of ways, not the least of which is that one is based on a seed keyword and the other is based on the content as a whole.

Keyword Research: Page Authority and Keyword Difficulty
A speaker at a conference suggested using your Page Authority (of home page) number as a benchmark in keyword research to compare against keyword difficulty number. So if you had a Page Authority score of 60, you would look for keywords with a difficulty of under 60 (using the MOZ metrics for keyword difficulty). Has anyone used these metrics in this way? Any success?

Do I need to set the country in Webmaster Tools even if I am set to apply the hreflang tag to our different country pages?
We are global brand that will be migrating to a new platform in the next few months. As such, this will allow us to fix our current SEO issues. We are planning on using geo-targeted subfolders instead of country code top level domains primarily because of resource limitations. My question is - do I need to set the country in Webmaster Tools even though I am already going to tell Google that certain pages are targeted towards a specific country?

Branded keywords
I'm trying to understand this concept a little further. Say if I create a branded keyword, "dc widgets" I then start to add keywords such as "maker" "toy" and apply the branded keyword to it. Does this mean that they then become "maker dc widgets" and "toy dc widgets" ? What purpose does branded keywords offer?

Are labels useful in managing keywords in SEOMoz Campaigns?
I am using SEOMoz for only one domain. Should I track keywords under only one campaign, or should I utilize the different campaigns for different types of keywords under the same domain? Is it easier to keep all keywords for a domain in one campaign? Is it helpful to assign labels to keywords within the campaign? What types of labels should I create?

Keywords Best Practices for On-Page Optimization
Hi guys, we've successfully optimized our home page such that it receives a Grade A for 3 completely different, high traffic keywords. Looking forward to seeing the results! The keywords in question were identified by using the monthly searches reported from the Google Keyword Tool. For one of the keywords, the Google Keyword Tool differentiates between what I thought would be seen as being the same. For example, let's say Google reports these three keywords as high traffic keywords: tea cup
Moz Pro | | yacpro13
tea cups
the tea cup Using the On-Page Report Card, we get a Grade A for 'tea cup', but we get an F for the other 2 terms! I thought Google searches didn't really care about the plural form or adding the word 'the' in front. How should we interpret the result from the On-Page Report Card for the plural form of the keyword and with the word 'the' added in front? Would you track all 3 instances of the keyword independtly in your campaign, or would you just track 'tea cup'? Thanks!0 -
Onpage Optimization Tool - Optimize it? :)
I've been using your on-page optimization tool allot lately, I must say it simply is a great checklist to run a page through and it forces you to think about it a bit more and you notice stuff that you might otherwise have overlooked (read forgot) . But! ('cause there's always a but..) I have noticed a few issues: it could be optimized to recognize plural endings, given this is a hard one since there's allot of languages.. but It would be awesome if it did.. right? (just like the SE's do) I would be more then willing to help with the Danish. Since you already specify what version of google you wanna target eg: ".DK" it might not be all that hard to implement plural? now that we are mentioning other languages.. It would be equally sweet if it would see the correlation between Ø and OE, Å and ÅÅ and so on.. (scandinavian chars for those of you who don't know) again the SE's do For German letters I expect (not sure though, I'm not German, I speak it a bit though, so if your German feel free to correct me 🙂 that the SE's would see the letter Ö as an OE.. Ü as UE, Ä as an AE and so on. Why is the above important? well because that many still use those versions of the letters in URL's. Even though all browsers/mail clients now a'days are able to understand punycode.
