Does a similar article title bring negative impact to seo?
-
I am wondering if a similar article title may bring negative impact to seo, such as:
1. The benefits of eating potatoes
2. The benefits of eating tomatoes
2. The benefits of eating apples.
Any idea? Thanks.

Don't be so sure Sean, they can be really tasty together:

I think you're good to go so long as you don't mix all three together... I don't think Potatoes, Tomatoes, and Apples would taste very good as a trio

Hi tangjianghuan,
I personally don't think it can have a negative impact to SEO because you are talking about really different things. The benefits from eating potatoes and the benefits of eating apples are quite different, and this difference will be reflected on each of this articles, so if you have original and interesting content for each of them, you should not worry about the similarity of the title.
In fact, I've seen websites that work well on Google of this kind:
thebenefitsofeating.com (with pages for the benefits of eating each type of aliment)
With this pages, you are saying to Google that the topic of your website is "benefits of eating different aliments", and if you are always talking about vegetables and fruits the topic would be "benefits of eating vegetables and fruits" (a more specific topic and easier to rank with), and you are increasing the topic relevancy of your website for each article about "benefits of eating differentes aliments" or "benefits of eating vegetables and fruits", whichever is your case.
Hope that helps

SEO and multilanguage site
Hi all! I have used a wordpress plugin called WPML which translates a webpage into another language so that I have a webpage in two different languages (spanish (main market) and english). I'm just doing the seo for the spanish market and I'm gonna start with the seo for the english one. Should I do it just the same as I had a one-single-language page? just with english keywords, etc. I guessit would only differ in the way I do the linkbuilding strategy as the markets are different Thanks

Do Blog Comments On Your Site Help SEO?
There is a lot of debate as whether or not having comments on your blog is helpful from an SEO perspective. Proponents believe that more comments (1) creates more content, which search engines love, (2) creates more relevant keywords that can be searched, and (3) helps with "freshness" of the site/content leading to greater site authority. Others like Joost de Valk believe that comments can actually hurt SEO because keyword density cannot be controlled. He argues that his top SEO content are pages not posts for this very reason. What is your opinion?
