This is a real dumb question about on page optimization
-
I've been reading the docs for using this site and am puzzled by the on page optimization reports, and the tactics for creating the reports.
In no place can i find that you first must use the keywords you have identified to track in the campaign on pages on your web site. Am i missing something?
From just reading how to do your campaign, it would appear that you never have to touch your pages with the keywords you want to track, all 500 of them for one page, if that's what you want to do.
Not knowing how the application works, it is possible to imagine anything, including not needing to do the obvious steps of writing a well optimized page first.
I want to presume that first you optimize your pages with the keywords you want to track, then go ahead and run your campaign. Although this is the obvious thing, I don't see that part of the seo puzzle being mentioned in any of the docs.
Where do i hunt for that part of the equation?

Hi Ed,
You can use the On-page tool to optimize for any keyword term as long as it is loaded into the keyword list in your campaign.
By default the On-page tool offers a report card for every keyword already loaded that it finds relevant to your home page. You can create Report cards for individual pages and keywords by digging a little deeper into the tool.
To use the tool for specific pages:
G****o into the On-page tool and you will see the Summary view. If you look right above the big heading On-page Optimization, there are two blue text links. Choose Report Card.
Now you will see a selector which allows you to choose any keyword from your campaign list and enter the URL of any page in the site.
Click Grade my On-page Optimization and voila! Roger will fetch your Report Card!
Wherever you are in the Pro App, if you need instructions, look for the small blue "Help" link toward the top right (just below the Pro menu bar). The Help page for the On-Page tool is at this link
Hope that helps.

The keyword tool is mostly used for the keywords that you want to track. So yes, you will need to optimize your site for the keywords you want to be in the SERP. A good tool to do this is the Grade Cards, where you check how your site performs for the certain keywords.
The best part, is that you can do all this things to your competitors as well

Erasmus room for students in {city.name} | {name} English title

Page Not Indexed
Hi Guys I wrote and published an article last night on my site but it is yet to be indexed. This is strange as articles are usually indexed pretty quickly. Could you have a quick look and see what the problem is? http://www.rankmytri.com/tomtom-running-and-triathlon-watch/ Also all my Blog posts (in the blog section of the site) are not indexed as well (and I dont think they have been for a while) yet I dont have any messages from Google in my webmaster tools. Thoughts? Thanks in advance Ross

What makes a "perfectly optimized page" in 2013?
Hi all, I was re-reading this blog http://moz.com/blog/perfecting-keyword-targeting-on-page-optimization and wondered how relevant you guys thought this post still was? Moz link directly to it from their 'learn' page http://moz.com/learn/seo so I'm interpreting that to mean it is still accurate and as current as it can be? What else would you add to it? Thanks,

Missing meta descriptions on indexed pages, portfolio, tags, author and archive pages. I am using SEO all in one, any advice?
I am having a few problems that I can't seem to work out.....I am fairly new to this and can't seem to work out the following: Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂 1. I am missing alot of meta description tags. I have installed "All in One SEO" but there seems to be no options to add meta descriptions in portfolio posts. I have also written meta descriptions for 'tags' and whilst I can see them in WP they don't seem to be activated. 2. The blog has pages indexed by WP- called Part 2 (/page/2), Part 3 (/page/3) etc. How do I solve this issue of meta descriptions and indexed pages? 3. There is also a page for myself, the author, that has multiple indexes for all the blog posts I have written, and I can't edit these archives to add meta descriptions. This also applies to the month archives for the blog. 4. Also, SEOmoz tells me that I have too many links on my blog page (also indexed) and their consequent tags. This also applies to the author pages (myself ). How do I fix this? Thanks for your help 🙂 Regards Nadia

Optimizing for Neighbourhoods
Say I'm optimizing a website for a Veterinarian in North York, a neighborhood in Toronto. Is it important to use Toronto in the keywords/ keyword phrases? When people from within Toronto search for "North York Veterinarian" and "North York Dog Kennel" I want to be found. If I optimize a page for the keyphrases "North York Veterinarian" and "North York Dog Kennel" and only mention Toronto once in the footer with the office address will that be enough for Google to serve up these results in Toronto? Thanks,

Is there a proper way that I should take care of this? Also as a side note, I'm using Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin, is there a setting on their I should change that will fix this issue? Or is it an issue at all? Thanks, BJ
