Optimize for separate words or combined word.
-
I can't find good answers to this question so I'm asking here. Thanks for any help you can give.
Most people, 4 out of 5, search for our product using two separate words, while the trademarked name of the product is one word. Think: CleanCar(tm) vs Clean Car. However our product is a leader in the industry so it would be like searching for perhaps "Play Station" vs "Playstation" if people were looking for a gaming console in general.
Google separates them in the search volumes so I am assuming it does not see Clean Car in the same way it sees CleanCar. I (obviously) want to rank as highly as possible in both while keeping brand integrity in mind. Should I SEO for just the CleanCar or both? Perhaps using CleanCar in the title and Clean Car in the description? Does Google distinguish?
Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing the answer. i also have the same question can we use 2 words without spaces is it safe in Google or it's black hat or keyword manipulating?
We are running a coupon codes website Shopping Spout US in this website we have a lot of pages where we are using 2 words store name without spaces in H1 and also we apply the same method in the URL.
Example: I have one store whose name is Camp Mor and we have used this in H1 Campmor coupon codes and the same in URL Campmor-coupon-codes is there any one who let me know is this good or safe in SEO? Or risk for Google penalty

Of course google knows the difference......so maybe are wondering how google knows.
Is very simple, google or the algorithm compares user intent vs keywords vs user behavior.Example
I have website with a generic domain name such as dietpills.com, and by miracle Im in the first place so google start to compare1000 users use the term "dietpills". So google put my site in firts place. But the Of 1000 just 20% of the user click on my site (Users read the description and the tittle and they ignore my website so or my website needs to optimize the descrition and tittle or my website is not relevant to the users) but is ok ...lets keep thinking ok 20% (200) of the users clicked on my website but 150 or 15% what ever you want ....leave the website before 30 seconds (Google units to measure the Bounce rate).
So whats happen? 95% of the users on the experiment was not interested on the website. for Google that means your website does not deserve be in the firts place.
Using the dietpills.com as example. The best option for me is create themes or topics base on the dietpills such as
- diets pills for woman
- diets pills for man
- dietpills review (reviews is theme by it self)
--- review brand 01
--- review brand 02
--- review brand 03
--- review brand 04
so the term "dietpill" has a differents meaning for a 20 years old girl in Arkansas or 55 years old man from Los Angeles, so to get the firts place I has to be as useful for both, the girl and the older man but ....how I can do it
So simple.... create relevant content for boths.
If you want some advices you can email me to [email protected]

Thank you. That gives me a closer example with your idea of intent:
Ours is a smaller market than diet pills, but lets say you are doing a campaign for a company who owned the brand "DietPill". However when most people search for that type of product in general they search "diet pills". Does Google know the difference? How would you optimize the page(s)?
Thx

I will talk just about my experience.
At this point when I have to launch an seo campaign, I don't use themes over keywords.
I will use an example. phen375 is weight loss pill that I have to promoteSo I select a theme > phen375 pills, phen375 diet pills, phen375 reviews
So using this theme I select the most relant keywors (with most traffic) and then I launch the campaing.So talking about your question when I'm optimizing a post usually the sencodary keyword is a synonimus of the main keyword.
In fact if you use Yoast SEO (Premium Version) allows you optimize a post with up to 5 keywords per post. But the Yoast team suggest to use related keywords.
Conclusion
IF THOSE 2 KEYWORDS ARE RELATED, THEN YOU CAN DO IT. IF NOT IS THE CASE JUST USE THE KEYWORDS MOST RELEVANT TO YOUR AUDIENCE.NOTES. if you made the research about those keywords, and you determinate differents result that google serves for every keywords you wil notice the most important thing the "search intent"
So ask your self .....are those keywords related with the "search intent"

HREFLANG for multiple country/language combinations
We have a site setup with English, German, French, Spanish and Italian. We offer these languages for every European country (over 30). Thus, there are 150 + different URL combinations, as we use the /country/language/ subdirectory path. Should I list out every combination in hreflang?Or should I simply choose the most applicable combinations (/de/de and fr/fr, etc.)? If we go the latter path, should I block google bot from crawling the atypical combinations? Best, Sam

We are being penalized for one specific key word (and phrases it appears in), how can we figure out why?
Overall our SEO efforts have worked well, slow and steady increases in rankings across the board for all products and categories, EXCEPT for one particular brand name. Key words and phrases for that brand consistently under perform all other key words and phrases. Strategies etc. are the same, and we have not received any notifications about 'manual action' but I'm convinced there is something affecting our ranking on that brand. This has been going on for approximately two years, prior to that we ranked very well for this brand. What sorts of tests can I run to try and find the problem?

Using a stop word when optimizing pages
I have a page (for a spa) I am trying to fully optimize and, using AdWords have run every conceivable configuration (using Exact Match) to ascertain the optimal phrase to use. Unfortunately, the term which has come up as the 'best' phrase is "spas in XXX" [xxx represents a location]. When reviewing the data, phrases such as "spas XXX" or "spa XXX" doesn't give me an appropriate search volume to warrant optimizing. So, with that said, do I optimize the page without the word "in", and 'hope' we get the search volume for searches using the word "in", or optimize using the stop word? Any thoughts? Thank you!

How do you determine if Google thinks you’re guilty of Key Word Stuffing?
I believe that Google sees our website: www.getyourphotosoncanvas.com/
Algorithm Updates | | rdominey
as being guilty of keyword stuffing. I don’t see any specific tools on SEOmoz
that will evaluate Keyword Density as viewed by Google. Just to be clear; I have not attempted to use KWS as a SEO tactic. I feel that the
content of each page is written for the customer. I do realize that Google may
see it differently. I think that I am being penalized for the use of the words
Photo and Canvas. My domain name is “GetYourPhotosonCanvas.com” The business
name is “Get Your Photos on Canvas”, the website title is “Get Your Photos on Canvas”, and each page of our website talks about Photos and Canvas. I have tried to
vary the use of Photo with Pictures, Photographs, Prints, Digital Images and so
on. It is difficult to vary the word Canvas. I guess according to Google this paragraph
would be guilt of Keyword Stuffing! I have conducted some tests on other SEO site tools and some indicate that KWS is
a problem on my website. If you search a specific page title that contains either Photo or Canvas it does
not rank in the top 200 on Google, although it is #1 or #2 on Yahoo or Bing. Drop those two Keywords and the page shows up
as #2 on Google. I think that is a good indication that we are being penalized
for KWS. Pease take a look at our website and give me your opinion/advice regarding the Key
Word Stuffing Issue. Do I need to rewrite my site content for Google?0 -
"No Follow", C Blocks and IP Addresses combined into one ultimate question?
I think the the theme of this question should be "Is this worth my time?" Hello, Mozcon readers and SEO gurus. I'm not sure how other hosting networks are set up, but I'm with Hostgator. I have a VPS level 5 which (I think) is like a mini personal server. I have 4 IP addresses, although it is a C block as each IP address is off by one number in the last digit of the address. I have used 3 out of the 4 IP addresses I have been given. I have added my own sites (some high traffic, some start-ups) and I've hosted a few websites that I have designed from high paying customers. -one man show, design them, host them and SEO them With the latest Penguin update, and with learning that linking between C Block sites is not a great idea, I have "No Followed" all of the footer links on client sites back to my portfolio site. I have also made sure that there are no links interlinking between any of my sites as I don't see them in the Site Explorer, and I figure if they aren't helping, they may be hurting the rankings of those keywords. Ok, so...my question is: "I have one IP address that I'm not using, and I have a popular high traffic site sharing it's IP with 5 other sites (all not related niches but high quality) Is it worth it to move the high traffic site to it's own IP address even though making the switch would take up to 48hrs for process to take affect? -My site would be down for, at the most 2 days (1 and a half if I switch the IP's at night) Is this really worth the stress of losing readers? Will moving a site on an IP with 5 other sites help the rankings if it was to be on it's own IP? Thank you very much ps- I can't make it to MOZcon this year, super bummed

Top 5 most optimized websites
Throwing this question out to the community but was wondering if anyone can direct me on how I can find the top 5 or 10 ten sites that have been most optimized for search engines. Meaning which web sites have the best reputation when it comes to website optimization for search engines or is there a resource where I can read about websites that have been ranked as the best when it comes to following best practices and have constantly ranked well within their industry? Figured it's always a good idea to learn from the best by looking at what they are doing. Thank you.

Shouldn’t Google always rank a website for its own unique, exact +10 word content such as a whole sentence?
Hello fellow SEO's, I'm working with a new client who owns a property related website in the UK.
Algorithm Updates | | Qasim_IMG
Recently (May onwards) they have experienced significant drops in nearly all non domain/brand related rankings. From page 1 to +5 or worse. Please see the attached webmaster tools traffic graph.
The 13th of June seemed to have the biggest drop (UK Panda update???) When we copy and paste individual +20 word sentences from within top level content Google does bring up exact results, the content is indexed but the clients site nearly always appears at the bottom of SERP's. Even very new or small, 3-4 page domains that have clearly all copied all of their content are out ranking the original content on the clients site. As I'm sure know, this is very annoying for the client! And this even happens when Google’s cache date (that appears next to the results) for the clients content is clearly older then the other results! The only major activity was the client utilising Google optimiser which redirects traffic to various test pages. These tests finished in June. Details about the clients website: Domain has been around for 4+ years The website doesn't have a huge amount of content, around 40 pages. I would consider 50% original, 20% thin and 30% duplicate (working on fixing this) There haven’t been any signicant sitewide or page changes. Webmaster tools show nothing abnormal or any errors messages (some duplicate meta/title tags that are being fixed) All the pages of the site are indexed by Google Domain/page authority is above average for the niche (around 45 in for the domain in OSE) There are no ads of any kind on the site There are no special scripts or anything fancy that could cause problems I can't seem to figure it out, I know the site can be improved but such a severe drop where even very weak domains are out ranking suggests a penalty of some sort? Can anyone help me out here? hxuSn.jpg0 -
Today all of our internal pages all but completely disappeared from google search results. Many of them, which had been optimized for specific keywords, had high rankings. Did google change something?
We had optimized internal pages, targeting specific geographic markets. The pages used the keywords in the url title, the h1 tag, and within the content. They scored well using the SEOmoz tool and were increasing in rank every week. Then all of a sudden today, they disappeared. We had added a few links from textlink.com to test them out, but that's about the only change we made. The pages had a dynamic url, "?page=" that we were about to redirect to a static url but hadn't done it yet. The static url was redirecting to the dynamic url. Does anyone have any idea what happened? Thanks!
