How can I maximize my On Page for these two common usages
-
I have a page that is tuned for this query: 1886 ten dollar bill and I am happy with my placement.
The same page performs poorly if someone types: 1886 $10 dollar bill
Is there anything I can do short of having another page tuned for the $ rather than 10?

Great, I'm so glad your issue has been resolved, Greg! Thanks for updating us!

Hi Greg, has this issue been resolved? We'd love an update! Thanks, Christy

Easiest thing to do is replace every instance of "1886 ten dollar bill" with "1886 ten dollar ($10) bill" - it contains all variations you need to rank for. Let me know if that helped.

Sounds like I need to do some trial and error with the on page utility. I will add the $ to the body and see where I get too.
Thank you!

I agree re two pages... I can't imagine the overhead that would require. I grade an A for the spelled out version and an F for the $ version.

Hi Andy,
I am working from New York city but anywhere in the US should hopefully give the same results. The target is the US.
I sent you the URL privately.
Kind regards,
Greg

I've actually gotten google to recognize scenarios like that for pages like that so it's possible.
I've experimented on doing some internal linking (if possible) and get a few links to come in with the $ sign.
Mention the $ sign in the body and eventually, I've gotten it to work.
Sometimes, location does affect that kind of search term though so that's another variable.

I would not recommend setting up a different page for the different queries.
Have you used the Moz page-grader tool and entered in each query to ensure you get an "A" grade for both queries?

Hi
What is the url you are wanting to improve - without looking at the page its a bit hard to give some advice. if you don't want to share it - you can send me a private message and I will take a look.
Without looking at the page, does the page actually contain the phrase '1886 $10 bill'.
Also when you are checking your rankings, what area (state, town etc) are you looking from so that I can try replicate the same conditions as you and see the same competitors. So that I can identify what is making them rank above you.
Thanks
Andy

What is the best meta description for Category Pages, Tag Pages and Main Article?
Hi, I want to index all my categories and tags.

Can I use nofollow to limit the number of links on a page?
My website is an ecommerce and we have on homepage about 470 links ! 1. We have a top bar with my account, login, faq, home, contact us and link to a content page. 2 . Then we have multistore selection 3. Then we have the departament menu, with several parants + child category links 4. Then we have a banner 5. Then we have a list of the recently sold and new products. 6. then we have an image grid with the most important cms/content pages (like faq, about us, etc) 7. then we have footer, with all info pages, contact us, about us, my account etc. There are some links that are repeted 2, 3 times. For a user it is easier to find the informations but I'm not sure how search bots (google) deal with that. So I was thinking on how can I have around 150 links to be followed. To remove the links from the page is not possible. What about to add nofollow to repeted links and some child category, as the spider will crawl the father and will access child on the next page? Is this a good strategy?

Duplicate Page Content on Empty Manufacturer Pages
I work for an internet retailer that specializes in pet supplies and medications. I was going through the Crawl Diagnostics for our website, and I saw in the Duplicate Page Content section that some of our manufacturer pages were getting flagged. The way our site is set up is that when products are discontinued we mark them as discontinued and use 301 redirects to redirect their URLs to other relevant products, brands, or our homepage. We do the same thing with brand and manufacturer pages if all of their products are discontinued. 90% of the time, this is a manual process. However, the other 10% of the time certain products come and go automatically as part of our inventory system with one of our fulfillment partners. This can sometimes create empty manufacturer pages. I can't redirect these empty pages because there's a chance that products will be brought back in stock and the page will be populated again. What can we do so that these pages won't get marked as duplicates while they're empty? Write unique short descriptions about the companies? Would the placement of these short descriptions matter--top of the page under the category name vs bottom of the page underneath where the products would go? The links in the left sidebar, top, and in the footer our part of our site architecture, so those are always going to be the same. To contrast, here's what a manufacturer page with products looks like: Thanks! http://www.vetdepot.com/littermaid-manufacturer.html

Too Many On-Page Links
If a page has more than 100 links, rather than splitting up the page into multiple pages, is it ok to use name="robots" content="noindex, follow" />? The page in question lists links to articles so the page itself isn't that important to appear in serps, but the articles are the helpful content pages: www.ides.com/articles/processing/injection-molding/

Editing Author Pages
Hi, Quick question regarding author pages. I have the blog set as me for my author page. so the url is: mysite.com/blog/author/miles/ Now, seomoz has picked up that my author page is missing meta description. But, this cannot be editied through wordpress as there is no edit option available. I may really be missing something, but where can I alter the author page, I have a feeling it might be fed from G+ but no really sure what part of G+ is used as the description. Thanks Miles

Handling Deleted Pages
The backstory: My site has a fantasy sportsbook where users can place "bets" on pretty much anything. Each game has a unique matchup page, where the odds are displayed and any conversation about the game takes place. Example here. About 95% of the games are automatically graded, but I have to manually grade the rest. Therefore, as soon as every game starts I check to see if any users have made a pick on it, and if not I delete it because it reduces my workload. The problem: About 15% of my search-driven traffic is queries for games that no longer exist, which makes sense because nobody bets on the super obscure games and these games are very easy to rank for. I am currently redirecting them to my 404 page but I'm worried that all of these hits are hurting my reputation with the big G. Would it be better to noindex all of these pages at first and take the noindex away as soon as I'm positive that the game will stay?
