Two word keyords
-
Term Extractor gives me "realestate" as a result and I'd like to have "realestate CityName" instead. How ca I tell search engine to "skip" single word keyword and that two word keyword is more important on that page?

Out of respect to fellow programmers suspecting a bug is always my last resort, but I will sure let them know. Thanks again

Well you may want to go to the SEOmoz Tech Support Help Desk and post your question to tech support. They could have an explanation, or you very well may be letting them know about a bug in the software. Sorry if I didn't offer that suggestion sooner.

People are coming to the site fine, meaning bounce is low and people are finding what they're looking for. It's just just, what I was trying to achieve is to have one page representing my site for that particular phrase and TE doesn't see it that way. Now, if you're saying that no tool is perfect and that I should trust the tools to certain extent then fine I'll do just that. Still I don't understand why "nekretnine beograd" phrase would not be recognized in URL by TE. Thanks

I'm not sure why you're worried about what Term Extractor sees or recognizes compared to the visits that come to the site. They're what matters. Are the people coming to the site coming there because they're looking for what the site offers? Or are they coming there and leaving right away after finding out the site isn't what they want?
SEO tools are only as useful as their capability, which is never the ultimate factor for making site decisions.

I'vo done that, but that's not what I have trouble with. My problem is situation where Team Extractor vales more first word of my key phrase than the whole phrase. I have page for "realestate", and on this page I'm looking for "realestate belgrade". Unfortunately, and according to Term Extractor, just "realestate" kicks in as more important. Turns out that Term extractor does not recognize "nekretnine belgrade" in this url http://www.enekretnine.co/nekretnine-beograd.html but it recognizes "nekretnine"

I too routinely have clients wanting to optimize for multiple keyword phrases related to locations. I happen to use the Google Keyword Tool here in the U.S. and quite often it doesn't show value for these phrases. That doesn't mean people aren't searching for them - just that they're not in the same scale quantity as the more widely used phrases.
It's important to identify your site related to locations served, regardless of where in the world you are located because that's what's relevant to people doing search.
Another consideration is to look for some other geographic phrases - the next larger geographic area for example. Here where I live, in the San Francisco bay area, I can optimize for towns (such as Real Estate San Francisco), but also for the larger "San Francisco Bay Area" because that's a commonly understood geographic grouping.

Do you know how sophisticated Term Extractors use of Serbian is? It may not be able to understand the complete language.
Sorry, I'm not too familiar with Term Extractor.
Can you try Google Adwords in Serbian? It may have a better idea of how Google will handle those phrases.

Understood and you are right, but still Term Extractor didn't recognize "nekretnine beograd" (Serbian for realestate belgrade) in this url www.enekretnine.com/nekretnine-beograd.html Instead TE says that nekretnine is recognized and gave it 100% importance. TE did the same for kw belgrade. So, I'm looking for a way to tell TE that keyphrase is the most important thing on a page.

Well, the search engines are a little smarter than being limited to one word keywords. You can think in terms of 'Key Phrases.'
A lot of my clients deal with key phrases like "Indianapolis Wedding Photographers." or "New York Portrait Photographers" So it's completey fine to target "Real Estate San Diego." or "Real Estate Fort Lauderdale."
I would also use something like Google AdWords to come up with additional terms that are being searched that are similar to the one you plan to use so that you can see search volumes and potentially find better terms to target.

Does it hurt SEO to build landing pages in HubSpot instead of directly in Word Press?
Our team's website is built in Word Press, but we use Hub Spot as our CRM. We are trying to determine if building landing pages in Hub Spot is going to hurt our SEO efforts and if it's better to build directly on Word Press.

Newbie SEO ?: Does my About page URL have to contain the word About?
New to WordPress and SEO. Built and launched my website last week. The URL was originally domain/about. However, I installed Yoast plugin and it told me "about" was a stop word. So, without too much thought (my first problem), I changed the url (before Google crawled me) to clearwingcommunications.com/storytelling. Since then, I've noticed that sites I know are optimized have their URL with the word "about." So, is this considered a bad practice? My site HAS been crawled at this point. If I change it back to About and do a 301 redirect, does that hurt reporting? Thanks for your help! Christy

How many times should a word appear in an article?
Hi My site is maily about growing fruit and vegetables and was badly hit after the September Panda update. Each page is about one type of fruit or vegetable and discusses how to grow that particular plant. Each page targets two keyword phrases, "growing abc" and "how to grow abc" so e.g. "Growing garlic: a guide on how to grow garlic" would be the page title and then the two phrases used a couple of times on each page. However the plant, in the above example "garlic" can appear upto 30 or 40 times per page, also the phrases "how to grow" and "growing" will appear on just about every page, would these facts be hurting my overall site rankings? Many Thanks Simon

New Articles and Posts - what key word to focus on?
I have a few pages on my site focused on key words...such as office design Birmingham. The contact page and a tag page. http:www.businessinteriors.co.uk/tag/office-design-birmingham/ Now I recently published an article about a big new office design in birmingham for a company....and I tagged it as office design birmingham naturally...put it in the category for Birmingham office news....and then also put office design Birmingham at key strategic seo points.... the result being this article now seems to rank higher than my office design Birmingham pages?! My question is this....how should I optimise posts? Lets say I put 3 or 4 posts on my webiste/blog about an "office design Birmingham"....I dont want to rank for "HSBC office design birmingham"....I want the article to lend weight to my office design Birmingham credentials ...so I focus on office design birmingham? I dont really want my posts to rank very high though...I want them to help my key pages "float". I'm very confused how to optimise my posts. If I do it too well, they out rank the "old" pages that I actually want people to visit?! Mmm, thanks for pointers!

Two points of view on optimizing our search pages. What should we go with?
So we're in the process of going back and forth with our designer about optimizing our search results, which also doubles as a landing page for visitors searching with keywords like "Meeting Rooms Seattle" and "Seattle Meeting Spaces" We're on the front page in the SERPs, but still have a way to go. This is our current page: http://www.evenues.com/Meeting-Spaces/Seattle/Washington And this is something we've proposed for our designer to work with: http://imgur.com/JU1zg There search page text and links in the top left corner were to be placed for onsite SEO purposes ie we have no real text/content on the page for relevancy. We're currently in the process of writing the copy for each city on the search pages. Our designer made this argument: After giving it some thought I came to the conclusion that we may want to take a step back, and focus on the overall goal of this exercise. From what I have gathered, you would like to generate more click-throus and improve SEO, right? In my opinion, adding all of the provided copy and the link farm to the search results page would not necessarily help that. In fact, I think it would actually push the actual results way down. The content you provided me is more suited for a landing page, not a search results page (that is taking into consideration that you want similar content for other locations). Redfin has done a ton of great SEO work on their site. Using them as an example, if you go to Redfin.com, you will find tiny links in the footer that say "home for sale in seattle" etc. If you click on those, it puts you on a page like this: http://www.redfin.com/cities/1/seattle?src=homepage and then from there you can click to a neighborhood page like this: http://www.redfin.com/city/1387/WA/Bellevue. I would recommend that we create a set of location pages with the content the client is asking for, that are specifically optimized for SEO, and provide links in the footer of the site to get to those pages. Then the links on the new landing pages would land the user on the search results page. By keeping two different pages for two different purposes separate would help keep content more organized and help user find specific info they are looking for. As a quick fix we could put one line of text under the H1 text on search results as well, maybe with a strong tag. By doing that we will be able to keep the page looking clean and easy to navigate through. Anyways, that's just my two cents. Any ideas/input on this?
