Keywords per Page
-
Iv'e looked through the QA here and there are a lot of different conflicting opinions on what is a generally a good idea.
For Example
- Florist Clearwater
- Clearwater Florist
- Florist in Clearwater
- Florist in Clearwater FL
- Clearwater FL Florist
- Clearwater Florida Florist
- Florist in Clearwater Florida
- Florist near Clearwater FL
- etc....
So for something like this example....should I have one page represent all of these keyword iterations or split them among different pages?
-
don't forget plural "florists"
if your site is targeting just clearwater then it should be spread out across the site and not just on one page.
These are too many variations to have on one page BTW. it would look like spamming and not good for readability.

I think this is a fair assumption to make Benjamin. I imagine that Google would semantically link all of those terms together. I'd create a single page and try and use as many iterations of the original keyword as possible - but don't stuff them of course.
-
Sorry, I didn't understand the initial question.
But yes they are extremely similar. The location and keyword is the same throughout all the terms. I think it would be best to have them in a single page.

Hey William,
Thanks for the response but let me clarify. I don't want to get into the tactics for on page keywords per page.
Rather I would like see what SEO's opinions are about if all of these keywords.
Do they accurately represent the same search intent for a local user?
and more importantly does google?
If both are yes then I should have these all assigned for a single page on my website. Correct?
Regards,

Your main focus should just be one keyword and different instances of the keyword.
Lets say focus on Florist Clearwater..you want to have that maybe 1-4 times throughout the page(depends how much content is on that page) and then you want to connect florist with lets say flowers and then you want to connect Clearwater and Florida.
I hate visiting sites and seeing blatant mass keyword terms on a page. It is not good SEO. You should just focus on a single term and then have different instances of your keywords in a way the user can benefit from it.
Try not to clutter the keywords into your page and Google is usually pretty good at connecting different keywords and connecting them in terms.

Search Console shows structure keywords more significant over content keywords. What is wrong?
Search Console shows non content related - website structure keywords as:
On-Page Optimization | | Yaz-
"categories, account, facebook,..." as top significant keywords. And after those comes the website's content keywords.
These words come from the header as I can notice. Am I repeating the content keywords less? Is there a way to adjust this? I am sure this affects my Adsense targeting.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?0 -
Ecommerce- Keyword use in Product links on Category page
I'm wondering how Keyword use in Product links on Category pages can affect a pages rank? I have 1 site where this seems to be an issue but not on all categories. For this site, a site: keyword search ranks the category page as no.1 in the SERPS but a non-site: search shows 1 of the many products within the category as the highest ranking page (currently 20 in google) on this site. This product is probably the least likely to generate a conversion due to it's cost so this is less than ideal. The plural search of the keyword shows the category page and it ranks higher than the keyword itself (currently 9 in google) Category name and URL = keyword. The category is paginated with 12 products per page. Product URL and anchor text is brand-model-type (where type = keyword) I'd like to keep the product URLs and anchors as they are if I can as they are well searched terms themselves but I want to optimize a category page to rank for the keyword itself. Have any of you overcome a similar issue? Would adding more text to the category page dilute the issue?

Wordpress Post as Slideshow - One long page vs many short pages?
We are working on implementing a slideshow format for some of the posts on a website, and it appears that using this format breaks a long post into several shorter pages. That's what we want from a user experience standpoint, but are wondering if there are negative SEO implications from having the content broken up in this way, and whether search engines will view it as one longer page or several very short pages? Here is an example: http://www.forthebestrate.com/10-cheap-ideas-for-summer-fun/ Thanks for the help!
