Title tag question
-
Hi,
If I wanted to rank for 'cheap football boots' and 'football boots' which tag would be the best option:
1. Cheap Football Boots (notice both keywords im targeting are included)
2. Cheap Football Boots, Football Boots (both keywords separate)
and the keywords sit on an EMD (cheapfootballboots.co.uk)
Cheers

Online Football Boot Store, Buying Football Boots, something of that nature that would imply buying. I like using keywords that don't necessarily have the product in them, but target the lifestyle of the shopper. Good luck on your Quest!

I like these... they present the keyword and then a value proposition.

i am not sure about how much juice you can get with the anchor text's pointing to same word.
as i read some where that it is better to have different pages and different keywords linking to your site to get max.. i mean with the cheap football boots and football boots should lead to different pages in your domain..
correct me if i am wrong

Thanks for the replies.
One other thing I thought about as well, was when link building if the anchor text was 'cheap football boots' would this benefit both terms at the same time? basically kill to birds with one stone or would mixing it up a bit with some 'cheap football boots' and some 'football boots'.

may be you can try
Cheap Football Boots with one day free shipping
or
Cheap Football Boots sale for children
as Heather mentioned if you are targeting local clients in your area add your location..
-
Surely first one is better. If you look at the second one than football boot makes up nearly 50% of the the text which is close to keyword stuffing. One other option could be to use like cheap football boots - football boots to indicate google that those are two totally different querries you are targeting, but I would defintely use the first one only. In addition you have both words in your domaini as well.

Hi there
I don't think it's necessary to repeat 'football boots' as it could look a bit spammy, so I'd go with option 1, but then expand a little, taking it up to 60 characters or so.
For example: add in your location if you have a bricks and mortar shop and want to target local searches, or perhaps think seasonal and add 'Christmas deals', 'back to school', etc.
Hope that helps
Heather

Meta Title in Google does not match the HTML meta title I have coded in a site
I have a client site that is pulling a meta title that is not in his code. I am using Yoast for the titles and descriptions on this site. Not 100% sure why Google is not listing the title we have in place. Could the code be pulling from somewhere else? Is there a fix for this?

SEO Location Pages - ALT Image Tag Question
Hello Guru's, I have a Hire Website whereby you can rent products online. I have created different Location pages for these which are in essence the same pages page but with different location specific urls, title tags , on page content etc etc. This helps me to rank for local search. These location pages also display 20 products per page. My question is Should I make the ALT IMAGE TEXT location specific for each of the 20 products . Example - Steam Cleaner Rental in "location" or should I only amend a few of the Atl Image Texts to be location specific. I don't want to come accross as spammy in google eyes but I also don't want to be seen as having duplicate content , images etc etc What do you think ? thanks Sarah.

The actual title tag is different from the one showing in SEOmoz
Hello all I was looking at the crawling report for my project, I have noticed that there are so many duplicate titles in the "Duplicate Page Title" report, I checked the title tag for one of the titles (for this page) manually (in the page code), and it was showing like this: <title></span><span>Interviews | TechSparks</span><span></title> where it's showing in the "Duplicate Page Title" report like this: Interviews | TechSparksEasyRotator Preview Hovering over the tab in the browser shows the title as I mentioned first, and searching Google for this page shows the title like the first one I mentioned too. Do you any clue why that is happening? fUbtXe6 fUbtXe6.png
