Secondary related keywords
-
Hello,
Do my secondary related keywords need to also come out as subjects in my sentences or can they be objects / predicate.
Thank you,

"Mr X flew back to the United States last week"
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with your sentence. I understand it. I think that Google will understand it.
Most of the writing that I do is very formal writing. Other people write in a relaxed manner, as though they are speaking. That type of speaking and writing is known as **colloquial. **
I believe that much of your writing is colloquial and Google will accept it without a problem.
The only thing that I might add to your writing is some periods and commas. You might do that when you write for a website as forum writing is not given as much time.

I understand but you are probably a good writer and English is your native language which is why you don't have to think about it
but from my understanding most of out there and don't construct sentences correctly...and writing in the format of subject object predicate is much more complicated that it sounds.
Take this sentence : "Mr X flew back to the United States last week" most of us would think the predicate is to the United States last week but according to my understand of semantics there isn't any predicate which means that search engine don't understand my sentence.

I believe that your related keywords are important to have on the page, but that there is very little benefit to contriving sentence structures to present them to Google in a certain way.
I believe that it is more important to have natural writing in which the writer's only focus is to communicate clearly and in an interesting way.
I spend zero time "writing sentences to please Google". I spend massive amounts of time trying to write in a way that my visitors will find interesting and easily understand.

Keyword research
Could some give me an example on how they do keyword research because I have tried many things and it doesn't work. Here is what I tried : Let's take a keyword " Alsace bike tours" I go to the keyword tool, lisgraph, ubersuggest, google keyword tool, and type "Alsace bike tours" Thos tools spit me phrases such as : "bike from colmar to riquewihr, "alsace vineyard cycle route", alsace cycle routes. I write my content and integrate those expressions in it. In my content I add words that relate to alsace such as Strasbourg, Colmar, the wine route etc... I wait and weeks later see no change in ranking.. What I am missing ? Thank you,

Keywords in TOP 5 then disappearing, then reappearing (ongoing for months)
Hello marketers, I've built quite a few successful sites in the past, but I've never issued this scenario. Here's the case: I have 1,5 year-old site that I've tried to build quality content & links over time. However, there are roughly 15-20 pages and keywords that constantly appear and reappear in the search. For example, KEYWORD X: 1 week appearing in rank 3 Then disappearing out of 100 for a week Then reappears in rank 3 and stays there for ~10 days Then again disappears from top 100 for a week or two. Then again, comes back at rank 3 for a few days, then gone again. Now I understand if this is a new site and spammy content and bad links combo, but it's not. It's also not 1 keyword, but multiple keywords and multiple pages. I know it's hard to say what exactly wrong, but could anyone lead me to the right direction. Is this CONTENT issue? Links issue? CTR issue? Site health issue? I've also attached screenshots from 2 keywords and their rankings in the last 3-4 months. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! iXpYN HUzJi

301 Redirects to relative URLs not absolute a problem?
Hi we recently did a migration and a lot of content changed locations see: https://d.pr/i/RvqI81 Basically, the 301 goes to the correct location but its a relative URL (as you can see from the screenshot) rather than absolute URL. Do you think this is a high priority issue from an SEO standpoint, should we get the developer to change the redirects to absolute? Cheers.

Keyword Cannibalization
Good morning everybody! I have a page in my web site that it's optimized for two specific keywords. At the same time, in the same web site it exists an other page better optimized for one of this keyword, that it would obtain a better position in search engine. The problem is the famous "Keyword Cannibalization", Can you help me with any suggestion to address Google through this defined page when people searches this keyword. Thanks, Giulia

Base href + relative link href for canonical link
I have a site that in the head section we specify a base href being the domain with a trailing slash and a canonical link href being the relative link to the domain. <base <="" span="">href="http://www.domain.com/" /> href="link-to-page.html" rel="canonical" /> I know that Google recommends using an absolute path as a canonical link but is specifying a base href with a relative canonical link the same thing or is it still seen as duplicate content?

Tips for optimizing website for one long term keyword
Hello, I have quite specific long term keyword (4 part keyword) for which I would like to rank as high as possible and other keywords would come automatically, I know there's lot to it how to do it properly, but is there any good tips you could help me out with? I have 4-5 different pages with the keyword related product, would it be smart to optimize them all for the one keyword or optimize just one of those pages and leave others with other information, this I believe would be important subject to decide? I know I could add the exact long term keyword since it's related to content to titles, h1 headers, alt tags , file names and url, but would it be smart to use the optimization for that exact long term keyword on all those pages or just one? This is very important subject for my business and any advice will be most highly valued. Many thanks
