Keyword Plan Of Attack
-
We have looked up our direct competitor to see what keywords they rank #1 for (aside from their own company name).
We have narrowed it down to 3 that we want to focus on.
Our plan is to build internal landing pages, external landing pages and beef up our content. Is that a good strategy to start or are we missing something?
-
Maybe I should .24/7.
So, other than sassy one liners, what do you do? I'd love to hear some constructive input. However, If you don't have anything constructive to add, that's okay. I'm sure you're really busy. Super busy.

Then you should make them all day.

Well, from our experience, external landing pages are great lead generators. We have about 50 landing pages. They cost us nothing really other than the domain registration (we have them hosted on a vps account).
With 3 of thos pages, they rank 1, 3, 4 on the first page google along with our own website. It's pretty amazing. Plus, I kind of like making these 1 page landing pages. They are simple but take the right content and stuff to rank. They always have a form so that people can sign up for more information, sample or a catalog.
-
I wouldn't spend anything on external landing pages. I'd put everything I got into the main site.
-
So like, if we are targeting "blue dresses"
An internal page might be ourwebsite.com/blue-dresses
and an external landing page might be
It's a page outside our main website.
That's at least what we are calling them

Different Blog Articles - What about Keywords Cannibalization?
Hi everyone, I have a question in regards to blog articles and long tail keywords variation. I usually create landing pages for the services of my business and create related topics for my blog with long tail keywords (tips, best practice, etc.). However, by using this method, I am a bit worried about the ranking of the different pages/blog posts. _(See Attachment - in this example, I tracked it with Serplab. MOZ keywords tracking is giving me the same result anyway). _ I created a blog post with a related topic 'office interior design tips'. Unfortunately, when looking at the ranking, the previous page (office-design) is not ranking anymore for this keywords and instead, the blog post office-interior-design-tips took his place. It moved from position 11 to 29 only because I created a blog post related to the topic. Therefore, what happened to the previous page? Does it stop to rank for this keywords once there is another blog post that is related to it? How can we avoid this fluctuation of ranking due to cannibalization? One can assume that by creating relevant content related to this topic, it should rank higher no? Thanks in advance for your answers. serp.png

Where to use which keywords...
After doing keyword research and coming up with a list of keywords/phrases that I'd like to optimise a specific page for (an additional page to an existing website), I get confused about WHERE to use which keywords. For example, choosing between two keywords like home insurance and specialist home insurance. Let's say home insurance is more searched than the other, and but is more difficult to rank for, and specialist home insurance is less searched but easier to rank for. Firstly, which one should I use as my "main keyword" and secondly, what benefit does the other keyword(s) then have on the rest of the page, and were do I use them? I hope this makes sense. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Keyword tracking- Local
Silly question about Local ranking monitors. If I have a local client in Pheonix, AZ and I want to track rankings for keywords. Is it best to monitor city+keyword or just keyword? I have ran tests with multiple clients and locations, and cannot ascertain the difference- as far as rankings go. I appreciate all input.

Google keyword tool [exact match]
Hey there, I'm trying to work out what my next big course to run will be. I want to know if my technique is a good gauge of popularity. I'm using Google's keyword tool specifically for New Zealand. I'm typing in a course topic e.g Photoshop Courses and looking at the exact match results to see if there might be a market for that course. Broad match seems to offer up a lot more numbers but seem a bit vague. Am i right to think 'After Effects Training' wouldn't be a popular course as it returns a (<10) local monthly result while 'Photoshop Courses' might be ok as it has a (46)? **I'd appreciate any insight. ** Dan

Keyword Difficulty: High or Low?
Looked in the FAQ in the Keyword Difficulty tool but it didn't mention whether or not a higher % or lower % is better. I'm assuming that a higher % means that the keyword is more competitive, is that correct?
