Tilde + On-page Optimization
-
I'm analyzing my Hispanic site www.escolares.net, and I noticed that on-page optimization rank with an F pages using a tilde in target keywords.
Does anybody know if SeoMoz software can completely understand in their analysis special characters as tildes?

Hi Cyrus,
I think it is absolutly a bug in the software for the spanish community.
If you analize "tipos de línea" (look at the tilde in the i word), you will notice the bug in the on-page optimizssation section, because it does not understand that línea is the same as linea. So for example, on-page thinks that the title does not use the main keyword that we are analizing, then, grading with an F my webpage...
Please let me know if it is really a bug or not
Any feedback you need, I'll be here!

Hi Cristian,
Sounds like a bug in the software. Thanks for letting us know. Do you have any specific examples the engineers can look at?
I'm going to ping the SEOmoz help team (help@seomoz.org) and let them know. Again, thanks for the heads up.

Hi Cristian,
I'm not sure what do SEOMoz think about it, but I am really unsure that Google will take the tilde in consideration when ranking your site. Of course you should use it in text since it's part of a good spanish grammary. But a most of tje people I know in Latin America do their search without the tilde in Espana etc... And I personnaly don't add them to page title etc of spanish site I do for my clients.
Hope this help you making yourself an opinion about that question !

To create extra pages, or not to create extra pages?
I'm responsible for a site where we cater for all kinds of medical & legal problems. I recently conducted keyword research that shows a lot of questions being 'asked' in relation to the conditions we cater for. Naturally, I want to create content to answer these questions. We have a page for 'Cancer compensation' - the 'possible content' that answers questions won't necessarily help someone claiming compensation for cancer mistreatment, BUT someone who asks a question relating to cancer, answered in the 'possible content' may find the 'cancer compensation' page useful. SO! Do I: Add this content to the existing 'cancer compensation' page? Create individual pages of content answering each question, linking to the 'cancer compensation' page? or do I amalgamate all the answers into one heafty 'resource' page that sits elsewhere on the site? What do you think? Thanks in advance. John King

Pages or Blog posts?
Hi, I am currently building content for a customer's website. There are approximately 50 new content pages I am building about the business, products they serve, how-tos and tips and advice. The website is built on Wordpress so my question is would it be best to post this content as a different blog posts or as separate pages in Wordpress and link them up to a 'hub page' as mentioned on this post about How to rank (point 16) Thanks for any advice.

Over Optimization - What exactly is it?
I keep hearing this term "over optimization" and people assuming they have received an over optimization penalty. I also hear people say, "You need to optimize every page on your site." So at what point does a site become "over optimized?" Are there any good reads around here that explain this better?

Spammy keywords on a page
My client's website has a box of text on each page that is spammy and horrible to read and stuffed with keywords. The text boxes are there only for search engines as they mean nothing to humans. I say remove them as it must be doing more harm than good. However, my client is scared to remove them as the text has been there on each page for ten years and he is worried about a drop in visitor numbers if they are removed. Is he right to be worried?
