Keyword whit accent (é, è, ê) ?
-
Hi all !
I have a quick question. On one of the site im working, my principal keyword im working whit have a accent such as é or è or ĉ. How does google seen it ?
When im trying to see a page in cached version to see what google is suppose to see, i often see my keyword whit @ or other weird sign in it. Does it affect my keyword ranking ? Can i lose autority ? Should i hide some "no accent keyword" somewhere on the page ? Cause some of them make no sense whitout it.
Thanks !

So i guess i could just fill the text on the page whit Keyword whit accent since it make sense and replacing url and picture ID and Alt= whit non-keyword accent. It would prolly restore the balance.
Ty for your help !

Hello!
I'm from Brazil and also thought about that, so let's see:
If I search about café or cafe (it means coffee in portuguese), the Google Adwords broad match doesn't care much, it gets them as the same, with Local Search Volume of 3,500,000 for both.
But in the Google Adwords Exact Match, it goes different:
Local Search Global Search
café 27,100 60,500
cafe 18,100 246,000
So, it seem that you can use in theory both keyword for Broadsearch, but you are going to lose some when it goes Exact.
So you have to see which one is the best one for you, that brings more traffic and at the same time a good conversion.
1)You're going to have a keyword ranking for each of the words.
2)I don't recommend you to hide a "no accent keyword" because Google can see it as a Black Hat and punish you.
3)And if some of the words don't make sense without the accent, you should use them with it, because you can't forget your users, because won't make sense to them either. Therefore, it's going to have a big bounce rate.
Hope it helps! =]

No SERPs contains my keyword phrase
Hi! I have a question that is the best described by an concrete example: When I use Google UK and search for a keyword "wood floor" why the top 100 search results show pages for "wood flooring" instead? Is it because that keyword is simply more popular and pages are in general better optimized for "flooring"?

How to choose a Keyword
I searched around for this answer first but got information overload. I write a photography blog and tonight I will put up a post of photography from around Jiyugaoka Train Station. I will probably call the post Around Jiyugaoka Station or Around Jiyugaoka or something like that. I like in Jiyugaoka (a part of Tokyo) so I have other posts that I have keyworded for Jiyugaoka. What is the best way to determine what is the best derivative of 'Jiyugaoka Station' to choose for the best traffic? I assume I could enter them in to manually into the Keyword Analysis but is there is easier way that would give recommendations?

Adding qualifiers to keywords?
I know that it's worth adding qualifiers to high value keywords to create long-tail variations which will later have the potential to rank well for the main keyword as well... My questions is, how important is it that the newly-formed keyword/phrase also be evaluated for search volume? E.g. "tips for job interviews" has a high search volume, but scores 72 in the Keyword Difficulty tool - quite high. I would therefore be tempted to create a "10 tips for job interviews" articles or something similar, yet THIS particular phrase is searched for <10 times per month... If there are not any easy-to-find qualifiers that also create a well-searched for keyword/phrase, is it still worth adding them?

Keyword variations
I have a question about keyword variations. To be specific, let's say "blue upside down cars" has low competition but fairly low traffic. However, the shortened variation "upside down cars" has low competition but extremely high traffic. Can I double my bet by going ahead and using "blue upside down cars" whereby in some instances Google would refer traffic based on the entire keyword, but it would also refer traffic based on the the last part of the keyword which has the higher traffic ("upside down cars"). In this case, we would optimize around "blue upside down cars" with hopes of getting traffic for both keywords (the long tail and longer tail). Is there any reason not to pursue this strategy? I hope I made sense!

Location-based Keyword Targeting
We are located in Denver, Colorado. I want the majority of the site to be focused on Denver keyword terms but I also think we should branch out to other cities around Denver, as well as around the keyword "Colorado." What's an appropriate way to do this? I've seen site that have a page for every city in the area but it looks terrible and doesn't really fit into the site. How do I cross link to these new city pages (I don't want them in the main navigation)?
