Keyword Appearing on Home Page - Moz Page Grader
-
Hi
Today I entered www.partydomain.co.uk through the Moz Page Grader and found that the Home Page is Ranked B.
I noticed that an Area we could improve on is the amount of times we are using our main keyword "Fancy Dress" on the home page.
Please can you take a look at www.partydomain.co.uk and scroll to the bottom of the page were the tabs are containing losts of content. I am thinking about removing all of thoose Tabs. Our Competitors dont have any content as such on the home page and are ranking higher than Party Domain for "fancy dress"
What do you think ? remove all the tabs to be like the others that rank better? Or cut the text right down ?
Thanks
Adam

Dropped you a PM with some specifics Adam, but isn't looking too healthy.

No problem at all. I will set a crawl going and see what I find when it finishes

Thanks Andy , I would really appriciate that

Great to hear you have recovered Adam.
Also, it is worth remembering that as good a job as MOZ do, they aren't Google so you can't really use that as a definitive gauge of how well you are doing in that department. It's a 3rd party indicator (albeit a good one), nothing more.
If you wish, I can run a quick scan of your backlink profile to see how it looks?

Thanks Andy
Totally Agree
No so far I have been working to recover the site from a Manual Action which I have now done and recieved confirmation from Google in Webmaster Tools, after this the site went o page 1 for "Fancy Dress" previously not in the top 100 pages.
I havent looked at link building as such yet as our DA and PA suggests we should be higher than our competitors in the serps
Thanks

Hi Adam,
I would remove those footer tabs. I have never been a fan of these as there is always speculation over what Google can and can't see, depending on how they are implemented.
Try to resist the urge to get your key phrases into the page too many times. Google are pretty smart at figuring these things out and as you said, your competitors are ranking well without the need to do this.
I would also be focussing on link-building for the site as that will be one of the biggest contributors next to content. Have you done much of this for the site?

Does MOZ do more than report after report?
Does MOZ do more than churn out report after report? I do appreciate the useful information about my keyword rankings and from the crawls - the report cards are great too. But I need my site analyzed. I need to know what about my blog as a whole is wrong. I did very well with google traffic until the summer when my traffic plummeted overnight due to a Google Panda update/tweak. I have been working really hard and I know I am doing the right things (I got 28K unique visitors this past month and people are sticking around) but I still get basically no organic traffic. Is there a feature in Moz that can tell me what is broken? Like an SEO Audit? I feel that there are things I am missing that are more technical and I don't know how to find out what they are.

Your opinion on "Keyword | Keyword 2 | Keyword 3 - Sitename" Meta Title
While I'm personally against It I have seen it used. I would think that Google might see this as some degree of keyword stuffing, rather than a 'natural' title, which may hinder ranking. What are your thoughts?

Keyword at homepage
Hi there! Is it true that the most relevant keyword should it be located in the home page of a website since it has the most link-juice or this statement is a "myth"? Thanks

Pages exclusion
Hi there! I don't want to "make relevan"t 3 of the pages my website has. Should I give them a title and a description even if I dont't want them to be shown in the SERPs? Is there any penalty from google if I don't do so? I guess no but just to confirm. Thanks!

Page Title
My website was hacked last November and then again last week. Prior to the hacking we were at number one in Google.co.uk for our main search term "nile cruises' for years. After last November's hacking we dropped to about position 4 and after last week we are at position 7. Ima rebuilding the lost data and I am having to create new Title and Description meta data for each of the indexed pages. I am taking the opportunity to try and ensure my titles and descriptions are good and the correct length, etc but wondered about the best title format. I set our home page title over the weekend as: Nile Cruise | Leading ABTA & ATOL Bonded UK Nile Cruise Specialist I was going to try and cover 3 keyphrases in the title like this: Nile Cruise | Nile Cruises | Nile Cruise Bargains But I thought that might look a bit spammy because the 3 phrases are very similar. I wondered what anyone else might suggest? Thanks, Colin

WordPress - optimizing for new keywords on page or post?
I know WordPress is always a little messy with SEO but i have a main question regarding WordPress optimisation for a special keyword. Let's say i have a chocolade blog and have written about all the vendors of chocolade. Now i found a new keyword which i want to optimize my website for. Should i create a 'Page' within WordPress and optimize it for the new keyword + link to some of the post about a relative keyword within this page?

OR Should i create a blog post and write about the new keyword and just links some of the other relative blog posts? I hope my question is clear.0 -
Brand keyword is on every page
Suppose a website is devoted to a selling a modest number of products that are sold under one brand name. For example, the site might have product pages for Chevy Camaro, Chevy Suburban, and Chevy Volt, and many other pages related to Chevy. Chevy is in the domain name and on virtually every page. Competitors are also selling Chevy's and you want to rank well on the keyword "Chevy". One SEO rule is limit a keyword to one optimized page, and if it appears on other pages, minimize the use of the keyword on other pages, and pass links to the optimized page. However, it can be really challenging to write prose without using the brand name, particularly if the brand name is of the form "brand training method" or "brand learning center". The other pages can't say "training method" or "learning center". They need to say "brand training method", etc. What are the tactics to rank for a brand name when it appears on virtually every page? Best,

Apostrophes in keywords
It appears that SEOmoz tools like the On-Page Report Card treat keywords differently if they have apostrophes in. So for example childrens and children's are treated as different keywords. Is this a quirk of the On-Page Report Card or does Google treat them as separate keywords?
