On-page keyword usage
-
SEOMOZ gave me all zeros for keyword usage. Why? The site is www.grass2greens.com and the keywords are "Asheville Landscaping Edible." The site includes these words in the title page and throughout the body text.
I am not really sure, but maybe one cause for these low keyword usage ratings might be redirects or some meta tag issues, but I am really not sure.
Any ideas?

We're having a similar issue, but the exact keywords are in the content, page title, and Header tags. The site is hitchweb.com and the keyword is "trailer hitch". Is it an issue with our site, or is it a common problem with the on-page optimization tool?
Thanks!

The keyword scan is looking for EXACTLY "Asheville Landscaping Edible" not looking for them separately.
And the site redirects to a directory, not that great for SEO. You should have the homepage as grass2greens.com not what you have right now.
If you put "Asheville Landscaping Edible" within the body, it will show up but it has to be together.
Get your H1 tags up as well.

If you're using SEOmoz's On-Page report card, you can only track one keyword at a time. In this instance, a "keyword" can also be a phrase. If you're searching for "Asheville Landscaping Edible" using the On-Page tool, it'll show zeroes because that exact phrase never appears on the page.
If you try them one word at a time, they each show up.

How can I maximize my On Page for these two common usages
I have a page that is tuned for this query: 1886 ten dollar bill and I am happy with my placement. The same page performs poorly if someone types: 1886 $10 dollar bill Is there anything I can do short of having another page tuned for the $ rather than 10?

Am I spamming my Keyword?
Hi All I am trying to rank my site for many key phrases but the pretty much always contain the word "Sussex" The biggy with a lot of competition is "Caterers Sussex" and similar variations when I view source on their page I find that Gastro catering's code uses "sussex" 92 times in it code. My site www.SussexChef.com uses the word "Sussex" 590 times, the competitors site mentions the word less in its code and is dominant for all my desirable key words. Am I spamming my keyword by using Sussex too often when naming my image file? Is there anything in this or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks for your help Ben

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.

Does keyword density on a landing page effect SEO?
I'm relitavely new to SEO, and I just wondered how keyword dense the homepage to our businesses site should be? Is there any value in loading the frontpage at the potential expense of readibility, or should our content elsewhere be responsible for our yield in search engine results? Look forward to any responses. Thanks, Mark

Page Authority
I have recently optimised a set of images for a client of ours: I'm looking through all the PA of these newly optimised images, and have varying PA {from SEOmoz toolbar} I understand that internal linking will pass link juice, and obviously external links will add to the overall PA. I have several pages with a PA of 36: { Fairly deep pages} Yet they have no external or internal links going to them. My question is "How can a page gain any authority when it has no visible links pointing at it?" Obviously there must be a link pointing at it {internally} as Google wouldn't have crawled the page right? Also lets say all the keywords are of equal competitiveness would the keywords with highest PA rank higher than those on O PA pages. Many Thanks
