? Keyword stuffing
-
I have a new website. Did "on page grading". Although the page received a grade of A the only area that did not receive a check mark was key word stuffing.
It recommended I not use keyword more that 15 times but I only counted 11 uses of the key phrase "breast augmentation."
However the phrase is also used in alt tag of images which would take me over 15.
Are alt tag on images counted and is this a concern?
I tried to use "augmentation mammaplasty" to reduce the use of the phrase "breast augmentation" but will use of "augmentation" and "breast" alone also cause the count to increase for the phrase "breast augmentation"

And do you have Google+ account with verified authorship? You need to do that and add the sites you've published to, then add your rel="author" to your name.

Glad you asked! A great way to do this is to follow the internet citation standards in your industry (simple search will get you nice results) and then include structured markup (microdata) http://schema.org/MedicalScholarlyArticle
As for links, search engines look at the hypertext inside the link element (the text in-between the <a>text</a>) and attributes like title, rel, etc. So try something like:
<a <span="">id="source" rel="external" href="http://link/to/your/source" title="title of your source">Your source title or key word</a>

Kevin,
Thank you. Many of my postings in the past 7 years on a different site have ranked very well and received a lot of visitors because I do provide content that is thorough and provides meaningful information for patients and is not "spammy".
I am intrigued at the possibility of including references from the medical literature from well respected journals.
However I am uncertain how to add them to my content. ?? insert an active link to the journal article within my content or ?? use the commonly accepted practice of placing a numerical reference behind the mention of the article and listing numerical references at the end of the blog article.
Will the crawlers pick up the reference and the list of articles at the end of the blog?
How will crawlers or Google ascertain that my content is scientifically based and hopefully grant more authority to the page.
I understand the spammy nature of Plastic Surgery websites but have always tried to make my content informative and scientifically based. Your suggestion seems like very good advice but I am uncertain how to accomplish it technically.
Thank you.

The best way to manually test your pages is to view the page source and search for your key words. Google has commented on how it handles synonyms and related terms here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpnnXt7CHMU, so the take away is to use the key words that get you the best traffic from search results.
About stuffing in general, I'd go over your copy to make sure it reads well. If, by chance, your site is reviewed by a human and it reads in a spammy sort of way, then you might get some bad marks. Feel free to share a link to the page in question to get better feedback.
And an additional two cents (for free of course). Your subject matter is commonly associated with a large volume of spam, so I'd be posting medically qualified articles for relevant treatments and procedures. Well researched material with references and sources will help much more than short excerpts about your services and satisfied clients. Rich, informative content will attract more potential clients, as well as search engines.

How many keywords for home page?
I am a close up magician based in the UK and have just signed up for Moz Analytics and looking through the info now. The first issue was that it says my home page had an F grade for "table magician" My home page is not really optimised for table magician but Moz is suggesting I do. So my question is do I go with Moz and adjust my home page to match even though I have a dedicated page for table magician. Is this title tag for the home page too much. Roger Lapin: Wedding Magician - Close up Magician - Table Magician ?? Thanks

Simple on-site SEO - bet practice for keywords in content
Hello, The Moz on-page grader will give a grade of A if the keyword appears exactly in the content at least one time. If there are 500 words and a lot of it is about the main keyword, what have you found to be important to look for beyond the on-page grader - beyond the one exact instance of the keyword? I'm specifically talking just about keywords in the content. My guess is that it needs to occur 3 or 4 times in different forms and at least once exactly, but the on-page grader doesn't require it. What have you found?

URL Keyword Variations?
I'm aware that keywords in the url aren't as effective as they used to be, but I'm still convinced that they do have a significant impact (based on results in one of the niches I'm in). My question is, will variations of keywords and "hidden" keywords have as much value as an exact keyword? For example, let's say that I'm trying to target the keyword "day." Will including variations like "daily" in the url work just as well? What about a brand name that includes the keyword hidden in its name, like "Dayest"? And, as a followup question, does including "stop" words have any effect? For example, if I'm trying to target the keyword "Day of the Month", would including "day" and "month" in the url be just as effective as including "day of the month"?
