FAQ page to target "long tail keywords".
-
I'm wondering if there is any benefit to creating a FAQ section on a website for the purpose of ranking for long tail keywords. If so, are there best practices in the way that the page is structured?
Also, would doing this just help me rank the FAQ page for these terms or would it also help more critical pages on my website, such as homepage, contact, about, etc... which do not contain these keywords.

I have always had mixed feelings about FAQ pages. On one hand I do sometimes try to find them to use when I'm searching although I feel that if I need a FAQ page I haven't adequately provided what my user is looking for on the other pages.
I like the idea of using landing pages and just distributing out the content in logical areas of the site verses putting all this somewhat valuable content on one page.
As far as helping other pages, if you are getting links to the page it will help but otherwise not so much.

Of course there is benefit in ranking for long tail keywords.
However, you have to consider that you are essentially making the FAQ page a landing page. If someone lands on a FAQ page - unless it is very well structured and contains highly relevant information, there's going to be a lot of bounces from that page compared to traditional landing pages on your site.
My advice? Create dedicated landing pages where each target segments of information that you want to rank for. Thus, you'll be creating more relevant pages for each search query. On each of these pages have a clearly definable path for visitors to then proceed through to other areas of your site. You'll get less bounce rate, and visitors will more likely be directed to any subsequent pages on your site (i.e. directed to where you want them to go).

I don't think so , but specific landing pages targeted for those keywords with " relevant " content is the way to go

Separate service page for each key-word we're ranking in
Hello guys, I have a service-based website. Right now, I have around 30 commercial pages for different services, that we offer. I came up with idea to add service page for each keyword we're ranking in. For example, we offer home-construction service and we have 1 commercial page for this service. I will create 10-20 pages for keywords, related to home-construction services.

For example: bricklaying, Fundamental works, Landscape works, Concrete works, etc. I saw similar approach on this website. It's a link on bricklaying page: https://kiev.kabanchik.ua/ua/category/kladka-kirpicha If you scroll down you will see section with keywords, related to bricklaying and each keyword has separate page with duplicate content. My questions are: Do you know the name of this SEO tactic, so I can google more information about it? Do you think that it's good idea to use similar approach in order to improve your rankings for certain keywords? Is it a dangerous SEO tactic that may cause some penalties for your website or it's completely safe?

The same phrase in many different pages of one site
Hi,
Content Development | | webg
Recently, I had to add the same phrase, with 15 words, nearly, in 700 posts in a same blog. In this phrase is written about the site ownership and eventually some links showing the posts sources. I thought in create a image, but it will be some variations in the source words (2 or 3), therefore I chose to use text format. I'd like to read some comments and opinions about this kind of insertion (the same phrase in many different pages of one site). For exemple, did you handle this in your site? Problems or benefits (mainly with indexing)? Special code to indicate in this case? Any threat?0 -
Too many links on page?
Hello, Can my rankings suffer if some of my inner pages have too many links/anchor text? Or would link juice just stop being passed after X amount of links? I have content on these inner pages, and it all flows. Thanks!

Content being copied from our product page hurting our site overall?
On our product pages, he have short descriptions and some bulleted lists. Resellers of our products, and many other sites who are not resellers are copying this content, often verbatim. While I'm not as concerned for the product pages themselves as we're hoping the category pages will rank, does this duplication of our content hurt our site overall? FWIW, our brand name is in our domain and often also shown on these sites that copy the content.

Keyword stuffing
I am writing a document with a big enumeration (100 subjects) and in that enumeration a keyword will be shown also 100 times. e.g.: 1. little car 2. little shoe and so on... I will use the unordered list html code. The document isn't 4 SEO purposes such as high ranking. I 'm afraid that because the keyword is repeated that often this could reflect the website. What are your thoughts about this?
