Keyword phrase for entire site
-
Hey everyone!
I'm fairly new to SEO but I have a large number of sites I'm needing to SEO. I'm a tad confused as to how many keyword phrases I should use throughout my site. For example, my site is www.uluru.travel. I want to rank highlight for the phrase 'uluru tours' throughout the site, as many of my pages list uluru tours and people searching for this phrase are my type of customers. As you can see I've tried to do some basic on page SEO for that phrase by including it in page title, headings etc. But the entire site doesn't seem to rank very well.
Would you guys suggest trying to target 'uluru tours' phrase throughout the entire site of just focus a couple of pages on this term?
Any advice is greatly appreciated guys!
Cheers

Hi Lehia!
Something I recommend all the time is to read through Cyrus Shepard's "Keywords to Concepts," which covers topical keyword research. It might help you to understand how best to think about your keyword targeting.

Hey Moosa, thanks for your advice! I will get onto creating unique tags for each page as mentioned.

Hey Alick,
Thanks for your tips. I didn't realise this would be a problem...how wrong I was! I have a page called '3 Day Uluru Tours'...would it be a problem to call it this considering it includes the keyword phrase 'uluru tours', or does adding '3 day' to the front create a long tail that will be unique enough?

As far as my understanding goes about SEO the way you are targeting the keywords on your pages is not the correct approach. My advice is to list down all the keywords head and long tail keywords and then map the keywords on different part of the website accordingly.
I usually target one to two keywords per page and then set the page content accordingly. Once done you will have a clear idea if what pages to target against which page when building quality links back to your website.
It is best to hire a SEO Consultant that can help you with these issues and help you get better visibility in search engine form the keywords that you ideally want to target. If you go with this approach you might not be able to outrank your competitors.
Hope this helps!

Hi Lehia,
I have checked your website and I found that you are doing on page terribly wrong, you cannot use same meta title/same keyword on two different URL.
Home page meta title and Uluru tours (http://www.uluru.travel/uluru-tours/) have almost same meta title.
You should target 'Uluru tours' for one URL only so it is better to target for URL - http://www.uluru.travel/uluru-tours/
First I would like to advice you to first go through SEO basic so you can understand things very well then you can implement on your website .
Here is one of the best SEO tutorial for beginners @ https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Keyword research
Do I understand it correctly ? Let's say my keyword is Piedmont bike tours. From what I understand I need to use synonyms of Piedmont bike tours that people would use to find my website such as bike trip in Piedmont or cycling vacation in Piedmont and then closely related phrases in my content which are not necessarily synonyms but that semantically related, correct ? Do I need to do that for every topic that I decide to talk about on my webpage. For example let's say another topic I have decided to talk about on my page about Piedmont bike tour is Barolo. Do I need to do the same process for Barolo ? Thank you,

Keyword Rich Domain
We purchased a keyword rich domain name to use with an existing website. What is the best way to use this domain? Below are some thoughts, I welcome any input. Use this domain as an add-on to the main domain, but only have it load one page off the main domain? Would that cause duplicate content issues? Create a single static page of content for the domain (separate from main domain) Redirect domain to page on master domain, would we loose any benefits of the keyword rich domain? Thank you!

International Site Migration
Hi guys, In the process of launching internationally ecommerce site (Magento CMS) for two different countries (Australia and US). Then later on expand to other countries like the UK, Canada, etc. The plan is for each country will have its own sub-folder e.g. www.domain.com/us, www.domain.com.au/au, www.domain.com.au/uk A lot of the content between these English based countries are the same. E.g. same product descriptions.

So in order to prevent duplication, from what I’ve read we will need to add Hreflang tags to every single page on the site? So for: Australian pages: United States pages: Just wanted to make sure this is the correct strategy (will hreflang prevent duplicate content issues?) and anything else i should be considering? Thankyou, Chris0 -

One platform, multiple niche sites: Worth $60/mo so each site has different class C?
Howdy all, The short of it is that I currently run a very niche business directory/review website and am in the process of expanding the system to support running multiple sites out of the same database/codebase. In a normal setup I'd just run all the sites off of the same server with all of them sharing a single IP address, but thanks to the wonders of the cloud, it would be fairly simple for me to run each site on it's own server at a cost of about $60/mo/site giving each site a unique IP on a unique c-block (in many cases a unique a-block even.) The ultimate goal here is to leverage the authority I've built up for the one site I currently run to help grow the next site I launch, and repeat the process. The question is: Is the SEO-value that the sites can pass to each other worth the extra cost and management overhead? I've gotten conflicting answers on this topic from multiple people I consider pretty smart so I'd love to know what other people say.
