Part Number Variations 10-10-55-P or 101055p
-
I hope I'm not investing too much of the communities time but I diving into saving my site from the Panda or other unknown damage and have issues.
My two biggest selling parts are in a configuration like 10-10-55-P. They are low searched, maybe 50 people per month worldwide but this sale is crucial to us.
The manufacture ( which sells direct but more difficult to deal with, I think you still need to give them your birthday and sex to place an online order) has #1 and 2 rank, I have 3,4.
I have 3000 parts and focused. . The other 5 large competitive distributors have 100,000 to 1,000,000 parts and have more resources. Sometimes when I test 101055 or 10-10 55( which sometimes is used) I can drop to 7 or 8 and the competitive distributor beats out the manufacturer. I suspect because they get 1000 times more traffic.
Today I still am 3,4 for 101055p, but is there an organic strategy to address dashes and is capitalization import and should it be addressed to insure #3 organic rank?..

My opinion is that using two different variations of the same keyword in the title does not qualify as keyword stuffing.
However, I would suggest that you include the part name, too, like:
Part 101055, Gasket For Yamaha 2030 | 10-10 55
Just because some people may search for the part by name, and it is more descriptive.

In another question regarding keywords, another " authority told me if I make the title page::
101055 / 10-10 55.
That this would be keyword stuffing. What is your opinion?
-
If you are ranking for 101055p but not for 10-10-55-P, I would suggest that you ensure that both variations are:
- Present in the page title.
- Used at least 1-2 times in the page content.

Is there a way to rel = canonical only part of a page?
Hi guys: I'm doing SEO for a boat accessories store, and for instance they have marine AC systems, many of them, and while the part number, number of BTUs, voltage, and accessories change on some models, the description stays exactly the same across the board on many of them...people often search on Google by model number, and I worry that if I put rel = canonical, then the result for that specific model they're looking for won't come up, just the one that everything is being redirected to. (and people do this much more than entering a site nowadays and searching by product model, it's easier). Excuse my ignorance on this stuff, I'm good with link building and content creation, but the behind-the-scenes aspects... not so much: Can I "rel=canonical" only part of the page of the repeat models (the long description)? so people can still search by model number, and reach the model they are looking for? Am I misunderstanding something here about rel=canonical (Interesting thing, I rank very high for these pages with tons of repeat descriptions, number one in many places... but wonder if google attributes a sort of "across the site" penalty for the repeated content... but wouldn't ranking number 1 for these pages mean nothing's wrong?. Thanks)

[E-commerce] Duplicate content due to color variations (canonical/indexing)
Hello, We currently have a lot of color variations on multiple products with almost the same content. Even with our canonicals being set, Moz's crawling tool seems to flag them as duplicate content. What we have done so far: Choosing the best-selling color variation (our "master product") Adding a rel="canonical" to every variation (with our "master product" as the canonical URL) In my opinion, it should be enough to address this issue. However, being given the fact that it's flagged as duplicate by Moz, I was wondering if there is something else we should do? Should we add a "noindex,follow" to our child products and "index,follow" to our master product? (sounds to me like such a heavy change) Thank you in advance

My site dropped 10 spot on Google last week... why ?
Hello I have launched my site in April last year. http://www.hobartphotographertasmania.com.au/ It took a while but I finally got to rank 2 on Google for "Hobart photographer" and rank 1 for "photographer Hobart Tasmania". Suddenly last week my site dropped to page 2 and I don't understand why. Was there a Google update ? If not, what can be the reason for such a sudden drop ? Thanks Loic

Create different pages with keyword variations VS. Add keyword variations in 1 page
For searches involving keywords like "lessons", "courses", "classes" I see frequently pages in the top rankings which do not contain the search term in the title tag, despite these terms being quite competitive. It seems that when searching for "classes", google detects that pages about "courses" may be just as relevant. What do you recommend? option 1: creating 10 pages optimized on 10 different keyword variations, each with a significant part of unique content or option 2: one page and dropping throughout the page 10 keyword variations in body and headlines Given that keywords are all synonyms and website has already high domain authority in the niche. thanks

SEO - Why variation in Google positioning? Are we penalized?
Our webiste is made of 2 different parts hosted in 2 different directory on the same domain: 1. The website itself, which can be seen as a catalog. 2. A blog on WP. Sometimes we lose 50% of our traffic and 5 to 10 days later the traffic goes up again. When looking at position in Google it appears that when losses of traffic happen, the Google positions of pages from the website become bad. The blog pages themselves keep their good position. Suddenly after few days we find our previous good postioning and we have a good traffic again. Here at the questions we have: 1. Why do we have variation on our Google positioning? Which parameters can influence? Bounce rate? Speed? 3. Why only the website is penalized and never the WP blog whereas they are on same domain? If someone has experienced it before or has a idea, your expertise is welcome... Thanks.

Googlebot found an extremely high number of URLs on your site
I keep getting the "Googlebot found an extremely high number of URLs on your site" message in the GWMT for one of the sites that I manage. The error is as below- Googlebot encountered problems while crawling your site. Googlebot encountered extremely large numbers of links on your site. This may indicate a problem with your site's URL structure. Googlebot may unnecessarily be crawling a large number of distinct URLs that point to identical or similar content, or crawling parts of your site that are not intended to be crawled by Googlebot. As a result Googlebot may consume much more bandwidth than necessary, or may be unable to completely index all of the content on your site. I understand the nature of the message - the site uses a faceted navigation and is genuinely generating a lot of duplicate pages. However in order to stop this from becoming an issue we do the following; No-index a large number of pages using the on page meta tag. Use a canonical tag where it is appropriate But we still get the error and a lot of the example pages that Google suggests are affected by the issue are actually pages with the no-index tag. So my question is how do I address this problem? I'm thinking that as it's a crawling issue the solution might involve the no-follow meta tag. any suggestions appreciated.

Does having a high number of reciprocal links hurt you?
I know reciprocal linking isn't ideal, but does it actually hurt your site? Is there any penalty for having a high number of reciprocal links?

Do sites with a small number of content pages get penalized by Google?
If my site has just five content pages, instead of 25 or 50, then will it get penalized by Google for a given moderately competitive keyword?
