Seperate Pages for similar keywords from SEO standpoint
-
Should I create separate pages with unique URLS for very similar keywords. If the answer is yes - how do i ensure uniqueness of content?
For eg. Lets say the keywords in question are:-
send money to china
transfer money to china
money transfer to china
online money transfer to china.
Thanks.

There's a company called FutureSimple that does a good job of this in my opinion. Take a look at their pages for these two keywords:
"Online CRM Software" - http://bit.ly/xK3KZQ
"Web Based CRM Software" - http://bit.ly/yZaAow
That is a good way to handle two slightly different keywords, that mean the same thing, but both have enough search traffic and competition that you have to target both of them individually.
You'll note that they use a very similar page structure, but the images are different, and all of the text is different. If you use that method and all text and images are completely custom, then yes, I would create separate pages with unique URLs for each of those keywords that are fairly difficult.
For keywords that are more similar, such as "send money to Cina from the US" and "send money to China from the United States", then no, I would not create multiple pages. Use the method above for synonym terms with lots of traffic going to each keyword.

Page speed in relation to SEO
I cannot seem to find any information about this, so I thought I would try to get a few people's opinion. How do you think pagespeed is measured in terms of Google using it as a ranking factor? Do you think they use their internal Pagespeed app? Something during the crawl? Your GA site speed?

What should I do about not found pages?
I took over a site that had been hacked. A bunch of pages were created that said domain.com/cms/viagra. The pages are gone but they still show in webmaster tools as not being found, which is what I want. However, should I do anything besides leaving them as 404?

Postcard Advantages should "postcard" be repeated in the URL and Page Title? and in this example should each of the 5 children link back directly to the parent or would it be better to "daisy chain" them using each as parent for the next?0 -
Duplicates on the page
Hello SEOMOZ, I've one big question about one project. We have a page http://eb5info.com/eb5-attorneys and a lot of other similar pages. And we got a big list of errors, warnings saying that we have duplicate pages. But in real not all of them are same, they have small differences. For example - you select "State" in the left sidebar and you see a list on the right. List on the right panel is changing depending on the what you selecting on the left. But on report pages marked as duplicates. Maybe you can give some advices how to improve quality of the pages and make SEO better? Thanks Igor

Are there negative SEO implications to pages without any images?
Hi Mozzers, Do you think there are any negative effects of having no images on a page but several hundreds words of text? (There is a logo image and call to action buttons). Thanks!

SEOMoz is indicating I have 40 pages with duplicate content, yet it doesn't list the URL's of the pages???
When I look at the Errors and Warnings on my Campaign Overview, I have a lot of "duplicate content" errors. When I view the errors/warnings SEOMoz indicates the number of pages with duplicate content, yet when I go to view them the subsequent page says no pages were found... Any ideas are greatly welcomed! Thanks Marty K.

Keyword stuffing
I'm working on this page at the moment - http://www.gear-zone.co.uk/berghaus-bid6.html. The keyword we're going for is, unsurprisingly, 'Berghaus'. The SEOmoz on page report has flagged up a possible issue with keyword stuffing as the term is mention around 25 times. Is it worth altering this, which could be quite tricky as a lot of the page is dynamically generated? Thanks!
