How to Handle SEO for Daily and Weekly Market Updates
-
I have a market news and education site focused on the bond market. Each day we have an end of day market wrapup piece. We also have several weekly pieces as well as pieces that come out once a month.
My question is how should I handle these from an SEO standpoint? When someone searches for "bond market update" for example I want my latest piece to show up in the results.
Similarly when someone searches for "savings bond interest rate forecast" I would also like the report for that month to be the one that they find.
Here are two examples of what I am talking about:

and
http://www.learnbonds.com/bond-market-recap-41712/
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the response mike I think those are some good general SEO tips.
Specifically what I am looking for however is advice on how to handle content which is similar in nature but updated on a regular basis like the example pieces I sited.
Any additional advice on that subject would be appreciated.
Thanks

David- No magic pixie dust solution...but there are a couple of things you need to start doing regularly:
#1: Make sure you are posting the new updates every week on the site. If it is truly original and unique content, either add them as a separate page or add them as a blog entry on your main url.
#2: Make sure they are keyword rich for your primary terms. Main keyword (your example "bond market update") should be in the title, the first sentence and the last sentence of the article. Make sure you mention other second tier level keywords in the main content t least 2-3 times (for example "bond" "Market update" "bond market". Make sure in each article you use underline, bold and italics at least once to highlight certain keywords, terms or phrases.
#3: Make sure your landing page has the article or a link to the correct article. If you are building seo value for only your home page, then make sure it is there.
#4: Make sure that you are leveraging as many online and offline PR outlets as possible with each release of information. You should be releasing the updates on your Facebook page; your twitter page; your linked in page; your rss feed; as well as any online news sources that are relevant to investment, market updates, etc......make sure they all have a link back to your main site or a landing page with anchor text.
All of the above are in addition to making sure you keep doing on page and off page optimization with a focus on your related main keywords. You can't eat an elephant in one bite....but if you continue to do the above on a regular basis, you will make big progress in getting your news articles ranked on the search engines.
Hope this helps. Please make sure if this is helpful that you give me the thumbs up!!!!! Thanks

My Question About SEO
I'm working on a new website and attempting to make it as efficient as possible. I've put it through a few scanners and have a few concerns. Is it true that having long titles is beneficial? My contact page, for example, is just titled contact, while my FAQ page is simply titled commonly asked questions. What about meta descriptions for each page? Do they still serve a purpose nowadays? Because my site title is a graphic header, having a big text title doesn't really suit with the style, the H1 tag is missing on a few pages. Is there any way to get around this?

How best to roll out updated website to new responsive layout
We are having an issue about when to upload newly converted pages to website. By going responsive we are basically going with a new layout, different look entirely. I think it's best to wait until every page in the site has been transferred over to the new layout. Partially because some urls are being updated too, and the look is different enough that it may look like half the site got hi-jacked. My partner thinks rolling out/uploading each page as it is complete is the way to go. Need input on pros and cons of either method.

Restarting SEO when you move to different state
Hi every one, I have been working on my local citations but I have a blog which has been up for 4 years and has about 500 blog posts but I was living in NJ before and there is loads of stuff from jersey and also I have a lot of errors which is way too much to go back and fix like thousands since I am a photographer and loads of images. Would I be better off starting a new blog in my new SC region? my blog is feuzablogs.com and my main website is feuzareis.com so I thought of just doing a www.feuzareis.com/blog is it too much google juice to miss out on? is changing locations worth keeping blogging at this previous blog or should I just leave it up and start a new one which will be focused on new location? thanks

SEO for a Deal Blog
Hi, I have a deal blog that is several months old. My established and successful "competitors" have a high Domain Authority (43, 46, 63) but most of their blog posts are very short. Our readers want to know about the coupon, deal, discount, code etc - they don't want 250 + words for each post. However I am concerned that lots of short posts will label my blog as low quality and that Google Panda will get me. My competitors easily get on page 1 of google. Yes they also write articles but majority of their posts are short. I deindexed quite a few short blog posts but my audience googles for coupons and deals like crazy. I try to give as much info as I can without being wordy and annoying but sometimes that still gets me only 100 words. I also write a lot of articles relevant to my niche (mom/baby/maternity) that are high quality and several hundred words. Just looking for input on deal blog SEO. Thanks!
