Keyword Research - Min "Volume" recommendations
-
Hi,
I've began doing some keyword research, the terms I am after are yielding "11-50" Volume in Keyword Explorer.
Should I bother optimizing for such a low volume?
Looking for existing member / community feedback.
Thank you.

I just inherited a new site with a similar issue...we're currently tracking more than 200 keywords. As I did some analysis on the search volume for each keyword, I found that about 50% have super low search volumes (>10 monthly searches). Should I stop tracking/optimizing those low search volume keywords? It seems like from what you guys are saying, it's not bad to keep it. Just wanted to confirm. thank you.

It depends. How relevant are these terms to your service?
For example, if you were a house cleaning service, and the 11-50 volume was "hire a house cleaning service" these searchers, while small, would be very important.
Usually lower volume keywords will be less competitive as well, so it can be an easy win for you.
It all depends on how much time you have to create content + what your goals are for ranking these terms.

Thank you for your input James.

Focus Keyword
Hi everyone! I am pretty new to SEO so all the help would be great. Does every webpage on our website need a focus keyword for example like the about us page. We have webpages for every location in the UK - Would it be helpful if the location webpages had a focus keyword also? Just to note that I am using Yoast on Wordpress. Many thanks,

Brand Name Keyword Stuffing
I'm targeting Roho Cushions and the category page has many products starting with Roho underneath it. I know the keyword "Roho" shows up at least 70 times. I'm not targeting the keyword Roho, but could this negatively effect the rest of my keywords that start with Roho, such as "Roho Wheelchair Cushions"?

Is my copy too keyword rich?
www.heartwavemedia.com - Wordpress - All in One SEO Competitors: photonsf.com, h2video.com, corduroymedia.com, thehivestudios.org I've spent the last week writing and tweaking my landing page copy along with my SEO page titles and descriptions. I think I finally feel pretty good about it but I'd like your professional opinions. Is it too keyword rich? Does it flow naturally? Is the voice fresh? Do my SEO titles vary enough? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice.

Branded Keywords
I know branded keywords are variations of your company name. However, my company sell a number of exclusive products that have been trademarked so no other company can use that name. Is that counted as a branded keyword?

To Meta Keyword or Not To Meta Keyword, That Is The Question
I can't seem to get a reliable answer on this one. It seems to be split down the middle as far as who agrees and who doesn't, of course some of that content is outdated. So, for today, should I be using the meta keywords tag or not? Thanks, Steven

How to find keywords getting significant traffic
How can we check with the Google Keyword Tool to figure out which keywords are getting significant traffic. Needs explanation for the bolded part. I am referring to the Q and A at - http://www.seomoz.org/q/is-there-a-report-in-seomoz-that-will-show-me-what-keywords-each-page-ranks-for-on-my-site The best way to see the information you're looking for is to take all keywords that sent you an organic search visit for a given time period in your analytics and run them through a rank checker. You can then cross-check this data with the Google Keyword Tool to figure out which keywords are getting significant traffic.

The same keyword has the same search volume for 6 ways to type it. How should I behave?
the google keyword tool gives me those results: 5 x 1000 60500 5 per mille 49500 cinque per mille 49500 5 per 1000 49500 5per mille 49500 5permille 49500 The google results are different for every typing. Let's say I decide to bet first on "5 per mille". should I neglect the other ways of typing, or shoul I use them all while writing the content and the metadescription of the page?
