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.

Use of the word Find in Title Tags
Hey, So i'm looking to make content that is optimized for Finding an injury lawyer in boston. The Phrase "Personal Injury Lawyers in Boston" get's a lot more searches than "Find Personal Injury Lawyers in Boston" but with the Find is it less competitive? The same thing goes for "Find lawyers in Boston" vs. "Lawyers in Boston." My question is, is it better to put the word FInd in front or not? Is there a downside?

Should stop words be used in titles? I'm aiming for natural title structure.
I have fully optimized on-page SEO for the following keyword (not really the one I use, but it can serve as an example): -personal driver in los angeles Even though "in" is a stop word, I prefer to have a natural (non-robotic) structure for the title - I do this by including "in". I believe that "personal driver los angeles" is too spammy and too robotic. Is this a good or a bad thing?

Two keyowrds for one page
Hi there! I just optimize two pages for the same keyword as I didn't find a especific keyword for each one independently. On the other hand, these keyword was "suitalbe" for the same two pages. Obviously Google will have to "make a decision" regarding what page should it be indexed in the first postion? In what aspects or elements of the page should I incide in order to give priority to one page more than the other one? Thnaks

Large block of several thousand words on homepage of Ecommerce site - opinions?
I work for a local SEO company who are continually adding content to the home page of clients websites. While i do agree that it is a good idea to add content to the home page and to link to inner pages, the home page of several clients exceeds 6,000 or more words. Every month, an article based on a brand or category (which already has its own page which is optimised with an article) is added to the home page with links to inner pages. I have stressed that it is not a good idea to have so much content on the home page, and even more so that it shouldn't target all the same keywords. I have pointed out that many of the brand and category pages do not rank well for their keywords, whereas in most cases it is the home page which is ranking instead, which i have suggested this is because the home page is too well optimised for those keywords. What are your opinions on this? Are you for or against continually adding content (which already has its own designated page) to the home page of an Ecommerce website? I should also add that this content is within a drop down div box at the footer on some sites and just above the footer on other sites. The category and brand pages also have drop down divs with an article just below the header.

Hi Moz peeps, google said that we should have two site maps...
Hi Moz peeps, google said that we should have two site maps... one for google and one for people. Now i know having a site map to submit to google for the first time is important for SEO, but is having a site map for people visitng the site help at all in terms of google's bots crawling your site? I know it might actually help human people navigate through your site, I just want to know if by not having it or having it affects on page SEO at all, thanks guys
