Keyword Research?
-
What is the best way and best tool to conduct Keyword Research for my site? With the Pro service is there a way to find out better keywords to add to my website? I am receiving emails that my web site is being crawled and will be completed in seven days and so far this is not a "Report Card"? is that correct? Thanks for any information

Thank you for both responses. I really appreciate it. Have a good day!

For keyword research, I still have to say that the keyword tool for Google is my standard. I use others from time to time, but I believe Google does a good job with it. The other thing you can do is to look at what competitors are focusing on. (The caveat is that sometimes they are wrong so check to see that people are searching on a term before you go to the trouble to use it. Again Googles Keyword tool works great). One note here is to always try different applications as they come along. (I have never used SE Cockpit as Rusty suggests, so I will take a look soon.)
For your on page report card, go to Research Tools, click on On Page Optimization, Enter your keyword and the url, and click. In a moment Voila!
There are two ways to have your site crawled - one is in campaigns and the other is the crawl test. The campaign reports come out every Tuesday. For the crawl test, you will get a report usually within 24 to 48 hours.
Hope this helps,

For the "report" you go to the on page option in the menu at the dashboard. You should have that there. If there is nothing there by default, try clicking on the sub menu for report card and you can enter any URL you like in there. It needs to be for a keyword you've setup for one of your sites though.
I find this tool best for finding out what my competition is doing in regards to links. Where are they getting them and then I try to get them from the same place. That way I pretty much match anything they do plus I have my own links. I just go after their links with the highest page authority.
I've only been in for three weeks but for keyword research I like SE Cockpit. It frankly rocks. It has an API interface for SEOmoz so I get some moz data there. I just don't get the link information that I need. For that I'm coming here. This is a great tool to monitor your rankings and monitor your competition. You do that by setting up your competition in moz. I think in the link analysis.
I hope that helps.

Choosing the right keywords when the products are similar
What keywords should I choose if I have 3 similar products, only the value differs?
Keyword Research | | Voucherstore 0
It is recommended to use the same keyword, and change the value? Example: Product 1: $ 100 discount coupon
Keyword: $ 100 discount coupon Product 2: $ 75 discount coupon
Keyword:? Product 3: $ 50 discount coupon
Keyword:? Any advice? Thank you, Sergio K.0 -
What makes a keyword good?
Having taken a day-long course not long ago, I'm new to SEO and I'm struggling to decide which keywords to target. I work in a really niche area: we make booking engines that allow travel agencies to sell flights, hotels, cars and other travel services online. I know there are various tools on the web (and on Moz) which give you the average monthly searches and competition for each term but I still don't understand how to decide which ones to target. For example, the term 'travel systems' gets a high amount of search and the competition for it is high. However, Google brings back results about prams and buggies so I think I should avoid this one. Another is 'travel solutions' which gets a high amount of search and is low on competition. Google brings back results about travel agencies. This is more our area but our target audience is travel agencies so I'm not really sure I'd be attracting the right traffic? I'd be really grateful for any advice that you can give me.

How many keywords per web page?
Hi, what is the technique for ranking for keywords? Can you optimise a web page for more than one keyword? My moz report is telling me that a keyword I want to rank for is not in the page title, as it stands my page title has one keyword phrase. Sorry for such a newbie question, my understanding is you home page carries the most weight, so you would place your most wanted keywords there? The big question is, how many keywords per page? David.

Why does this keyword have much greater volume in Bing Keyword Research Tool than Google AdWords Keyword Planner?
I'm using the Google AdWords keyword planner and Bing Webmaster Keyword Research tool. For both, I'm trying to get accurate search volume for the exact term "advertising sales". Over the last thirty days, Bing reports a volume of 5,988. Google's average monthly search volume is 880. Given the market share Google has, I would expect a much higher volume, especially when compared to Bing. Can you offer some ideas of why this might be happening?

Google Keyword Tool: What is considered a unique keyword?
I'm trying to research keywords using Google's Keyword Tool. After looking at results, I have the following questions: 1. Does singular/plurals of a word count as two different keywords to Google (ie: photobooth and photobooths)? Would I need to have a unique page targeting each word or will one page on my site be sufficient for targeting both? 2. I've noticed that different variations of keywords have the same global monthly search results. This leads me to believe that Google see's all of them as one keyword. ie: "photo booth props" and "props for a photo booth" and "props with photo booth", all have 22,200 search global monthly search resluts. On the other hand "moustache prop" and "prop moustache" have different global monthly search results (480 and 590). Can anyone explain this?

Keyword Difficulty
is probably a "how long is a piece of string" question but wondered how to use the keyword difficulty tool, particularly in relation to the % and the wording moderate, what are these actually saying? Perhaps some of you could give details of how you use this tool and apply the % and term to real world situations, Thanks in advance, Lee
