One Article, Multiple(Same Keyword) Anchors, Same Urls
-
Hey Folks,
So I have a 1000 word articles talking about say Dubai Holiday. Is it okay to have 4-5 Dubai Holiday as anchor linked to the same page. Or it should be only be used once.

Thanks a ton John!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New year in Advance.

Hey there! Thanks for the clarification. As I said before, I wouldn't do this. It's an outdated SEO practice which was popular in the mid 2000's.
Thanks!

Same page multiple times with same anchor.

Happy to help! Just so I understand:
You wrote a blog post that's optimized for "Switzerland Holiday Package" and you want to link to another page on the site or the same page?
Thanks

Forgot to mention I was talking about a Blog Post on our Company Blog.
How do I go about it if its a Blog Post talking about say Switzerland Holiday package.
Is it recommended to include 3-4 Links to the same landing page using "Switzerland Holiday package" Anchor 3-4 times. Or only linking it once is enough.

Hey there! If the keyword that you are targeting is Dubai Holiday, here's how I would optimize the page:
1. Use the Google Keyword Planner tool to identify 3-4 other close phrases to use within the article.
2. Use the main keyword (Dubai Holiday) in the meta title or page title
3. Use other phrases in the meta keyword description
4. Incorporate the keyword Dubai Holiday into the
5. Uitlize the other phrases within the copy (make sure to use
's and
's too) instead of just focusing on Dubai Holiday (you may be doing this already)
I wouldn't link to the text to the same page URL. That was a strategy used in the late 2000's but it's not used anymore (in my opinion).
I hope that helps!

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,

Replace dynamic paramenter URLs with static Landing Page URL - faceted navigation
Hi there, got a quick question regarding faceted navigation. If a specific filter (facet) seems to be quite popular for visitors. Does it make sense to replace a dynamic URL e.x http://www.domain.com/pants.html?a_type=239 by a static, more SEO friendly URL e.x http://www.domain.com/pants/levis-pants.html by creating a proper landing page for it. I know, that it is nearly impossible to replace all variations of this parameter URLs by static ones but does it generally make sense to do this for the most popular facets choose by visitors. Or does this cause any issues? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance

Mixing static.htm urls and dynamic urls on a Windows IIS Server?
Hi all, We've had a website originally built using static html with .htm extensions ranking well in Google hence we want to keep those pages/urls. We are on a dedicated sever (Windows IIS). However our developer has custom made a new DYNAMIC section for the site which shows new added products dynamically and allows them to be booked online via shopping cart. We are having problems displaying them both on the same domain even if we put the dynamic section withing its own subfolder and keep the static htms in the root. Is it possible to have both function on IIS (even if they may have to function a little separately)? Does anyone have previous experience of this kind of issue or a way of making both work? What setup do we need to do on the dedicated server.

Two links from one page with different Anchor text
Example Business Name - UberPuter UberPuter targets the keywords "Computer Repairs" right from their home page. UberPuter has the option to place links on 150 of their customers pages that are happy with the service. Would it be best to place two anchor text links one with the brand name and one with the keyword anchor text in "computer repairs" pointing both at the home page or should UberPuter only place one link back to the home page for the Keyword Anchor text? To the best of my knowledge G only counts the first link on a page as a "Vote" so my thought is to only include the single link with the keyword anchor text. Thanks,

Rel=Canonical URLs?
If I had two pages: PageA about Cats PageB about Dogs If PageA had a link rel=canonical to PageB, but the content is different, how would Google resolve this and what would users see if they searched "Cats" or "Dogs?" If PageA 301 redirected to PageB, (no content in PageA since it's 301 redirected), how would Google resolve this and what would users see if they searched "Cats" or "Dogs?"
