Content suggestions from MOZ
-
Hello,
I checked moz content suggestions and for one of my keywords “Burgundy bike tours”. It gives me expressions such as “Burgundy France” and “Burgundy wine”.
My question is whether I should include the exact expression “Burgundy wine” in a sentence or if include burgundy somewhere in my text and wine somewhere else if it is fine ?
PS : What is the real difference between marketmuse and moz ? and why do they sometimes give different suggestions ?

Hi,
I sometimes use the Keyword Planner as inspiration for new keywords, most of the times its of no use, some times it is.
You can also have the Keyword Planner looking up a particular website and give you suggestions. Did you know?
Usually its best to have them together in the title/headers/text not split up. But if your competition doesn't have the exact match, split in the text would suffice as well i guess. But I am pretty sure that for the relevant, most important keyword combinations in your field this wouldn't be the case. Short answer: not separated.
Cheers,
Cesare

Thank you for the suggestions. I have used related searches and the keyword planner my self and I have noticed it work but not for every keyword.
Usually what I do I remove all the expressions with my keyword in it and usually find other expression to include...
By the way when you give the examples of "burgundy by bike" or "bicycle touring in Burgundy".
Does the expression need to be the way you write it and can the words be separated through the text ?
Thank you

If your site is about bike tours in burgundy please don't add wine keywords to your homepage! I assume you just offer bike tours there, not wine tours as well or some combination. Wine has nothing to do with bike tours at all, thats absolutely not relevant there. To add that to your site would confuse Google.
These are suggestions made by a software only. It takes the closest guess that comes with burgundy in France and thats obviously the wine. In my experience these kind of automated suggestions are almost never useful.
To do a proper keyword research I would do the following:
- brainstorming keywords
- look at Google suggest (when you type in a keyword Google in the search box it gives you possible choices underneath)
- Google related searches on the bottom of the search results
- look at the keywords your (better ranked) competition uses
- If you like have (quick) a look at Moz or Adwords Keyword Planer (very useful for traffic data) to see if there is any intelligent suggestion there
Keywords like 'bicycle touring in burgundy' or 'burgundy by bike' are in my opinion better guesses to complement your keyword list.
I don't know about marketmuse, try the Google Adwords Keyword Planer once, its one of the most used tools in this domain, it will give you most likely different suggestions. Differences come from the implementation of the tools, priorities, databases they have available and use for that purpose.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Cesare

Duplicate content across domains?
Does anyone have suggestions for managing duplicate product/solution website content across domains? (specifically parent/child company domains) Is it advisable to do this? Will it hurt either domain? Any best practices when going down this path?

Noindexing Thin News Content for Panda
We've been suffering under a Panda penalty since Oct 2014. We've completely revamped the site but with this new "slow roll out" nonsense it's incredibly hard to know at what point you have to accept that you haven't done enough yet. We have thousands of news stories going back to 2001, some of which are probably thin and some of which are probably close to other news stories on the internet being articles based on press releases. I'm considering noindexing everything older than a year just in case, however, that seems a bit of overkill. The question is, if I mine the logfiles and only deindex stuff that Google sends no further traffic to after a year could this be seen as trying to game the algo or similar? Also, if the articles are noindexed but still exist, is that enough to escape a Panda penalty or does the page need to be physically gone?

Duplicate content based on filters
Hi Community, There have probably been a few answers to this and I have more or less made up my mind about it but would like to pose the question or as that you post a link to the correct article for this please. I have a travel site with multiple accommodations (for example), obviously there are many filter to try find exactly what you want, youcan sort by region, city, rating, price, type of accommodation (hotel, guest house, etc.). This all leads to one invevitable conclusion, many of the results would be the same. My question is how would you handle this? Via a rel canonical to the main categories (such as region or town) thus making it the successor, or no follow all the sub-category pages, thereby not allowing any search to reach deeper in. Thanks for the time and effort.

How to deal with URLs and tabbed content
Hi All, We're currently redesigning a website for a new home developer and we're trying to figure out the best way to deal with tabbed content in the URL structure. The design of the site at the moment will have a page for a development and within that you can select your house type, then when on the house type page there will be tabs displayed for the user to see things like the plot map, availability and pricing, specifications, etc. The way our development team are looking at handling this is for the URL to use a hashtag or a query string at the end of it so we can still land users on these specific tabs for PPC for example. My question is really, has anyone had any experience with this? Any recommendations on how to best display the urls for SEO? Thanks

Duplicate content on sites from different countries
Hi, we have a client who currently has a lot of duplicate content with their UK and US website. Both websites are geographically targeted (via google webmaster tools) to their specific location and have the appropriate local domain extension. Is having duplicate content a major issue, since they are in two different countries and geographic regions of the world? Any statement from Google about this? Regards, Bill

How to Avoid Duplicate Content Issues with Google?
We have 1000s of audio book titles at our Web store. Google's Panda de-valued our site some time ago because, I believe, of duplicate content. We get our descriptions from the publishers which means a good
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | lbohen
deal of our description pages are the same as the publishers = duplicate content according to Google. Although re-writing each description of the products we offer is a daunting, almost impossible task, I am thinking of re-writing publishers' descriptions using The Best Spinner software which allows me to replace some of the publishers' words with synonyms. I have re-written one audio book title's description resulting in 8% unique content from the original in 520 words. I did a CopyScape Check and it reported "65 duplicates." CopyScape appears to be reporting duplicates of words and phrases within sentences and paragraphs. I see very little duplicate content of full sentences
or paragraphs. Does anyone know whether Google's duplicate content algorithm is the same or similar to CopyScape's? How much of an audio book's description would I have to change to stay away from CopyScape's duplicate content algorithm? How much of an audio book's description would I have to change to stay away from Google's duplicate content algorithm?0 -
Uppercase in URLs = Dupe Content
Hi Mozzers, My developers recently changed a bunch of the pages I am working on into all lower case (something I know ideally should have been done in the first place). The URLs have sat for about a week as lower case without 301 redirecting the old upper-case URLs to these pages. In Google Webmaster Tools, I'm seeing Google recognize them as duplicate meta tags, title tags, etc. See image: http://screencast.com/t/KloiZMKOYfa We're 301 redirecting the old URLs to the new ones ASAP, but is there anything else I should do? Any chance Google is going to noindex these pages because it seems them as dupes until I fix them? Sometimes I can see both pages in the SERPs if I use personalized results, and it scares me: http://screencast.com/t/4BL6iOhz4py3 Thanks!
