Keyword stuffing
-
Hi all. I'm working on this page - http://www.alwayshobbies.com/dolls-houses - for the term 'dolls houses'. It's not doing great at the minute (23rd in GUK) and I was wondering if it might be down to the volume of exact match keywords on the page (32).
If not, does anyone have any other pointers?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'd agree with both Dave and Tommy but also would suggest you rewrite your on-page copy to make it more clearly about dolls' houses and dolls' house accessories. At the moment it sounds a bit like a random collection of keywords, for example:
"With such a huge choice of**: Accessories, Books, Dolls, Figurines, Houses, Basements, Flooring, Glues & Scenic Materials, 12 volt Lighting & LED Lighting, Mouldings, Stairs, Plans, Play Houses, Roofing, Windows** and Doors there is sure to be something that will appeal." etc.
While I as a human reader can tell that these are all accessories for a dolls house, taken as individual terms they don't seem to have much relationship to each other (in terms of targeting). This is a top level category page targeting the term 'dolls' house'. So that should be your main keyword/topic.
Also a couple of those terms ('Books' and 'Flooring') are links which looks a bit weird with the exact match anchor text (esp since they are actually 'dolls' house/miniature books' and 'dolls' house flooring'.)

Hi,
In addition to what was mentioned, i would suggest the following:
- Add more keywords (long tail) in the title tag. I see that you have xyz keyword | hobby. I suggest using a primary and secondary keyword for each page instead of always using a generic term like "Hobby" at the end.
- Add more text for each product. Having more unique text with keywords will help Google crawl and learn more about your page.
- Over all, the page is too crowded. A redesign to free up some space will definitely provide better user experience which in the end help with ranking and conversion.
Hope this helps.

Looking at your page, i am not seeing an H1 or H2 tag. I would consider adding those in with your keyword. Something like "Doll Houses and Accessories"
I would also get rid of so many outbound links in the text at the bottom and try and move that text higher on the page. It looks like it is only there for search engines, so move it up and make it useful to your customer.
Also, your title tag needs some work.
Instead of "Dolls Houses 12th Scale Dolls and Accessories | Hobbies"
Try only" Doll Houses and Accessories, 12th Scale Doll Houses | Hobbies" -- note i didn't check the length here.
Hope that helps.

I agree with Wiqas but also make sure to improve the text at the bottom of the page as I really get the idea it's purely written with an intention for SEO and both Google as users won't like this.

But since Amazon started the same type of products as well, I have now always been right under amazon results, who are at 1,2,3. Is it even possible to get to the #1 position any more? Thank you.0 -
Ideal Frequency of my related keywords
Let's say on my keyword If I take the 1 st 20 results of google they have an average number of words per page of 3000 words. On my page I only have 1500 words. Does it mean that the frequency of my related keywords should be half of what the others have ? What about if I am over their frequency is it a problem also ? Thank you,

H1 tags and keywords for subpages, is it best practice to reuse the keywords?
So let's say I have a parent page for shoes, and I have subpages for dress shoes, work shoes, play shoes, then inside each of those pages I have dress shoe cleaning, dress shoe repair, same for work and play shoes. Would it be ok to use h1 tags like this: Shoes > Dress Shoes > Dress Shoe Cleaning Dress Shoe Repair Work Shoes > Work Shoe Cleaning Work Shoe Repair Play Shoes > Play Shoe Cleaning Play Shoe Repair Would these be considered duplicate h1 tags since cleaning and repair are used for each subpage? In certain niche companies, it's rather difficult to use synonyms for keywords. Or is it ok to just keep things simple and use Shoes > Dress Shoes > Cleaning and so on? Especially since we have urls and breadcrumbs that are structured nicely using keywords, for this example both breadcrumbs and urls read like sitename.com/shoes/dress-shoes/cleaning. Any advice?

On a blog from an SEO perspective how do you choose keywords to use in the "meta keyword tag" vs. "post tags"? Will it be different based on the search volume/competition of the keywords targeted?
