Is this keyword cannibalization?

[RogersSEO]

Hi,

Is using keywords in different orders considered keyword cannibalization?

for example, if I my client has a catering business based in mississauga, Ontario, should I create separate 2nd tier pages on the following keywords?

1. mississauga catering

2. catering mississauga

3.  catering in mississauga

Is that keyword cannibalization?

The reason I ask is because it's often hard to find a good # of diverse keywords for local businesses that are also used more than a few times each month in the search engines.

thanks,

Martin

There isn't enough of a difference between those terms to justify creating basically duplicate pages for each of them. If you check the results for all three of those, they are the same with only a few results being switched up, and none of the ranking sites have created multiple landing pages. just make sure the content on the page varies which form of the search term is used as well as varying anchor text in the links you build. In the end you will have a much stronger page.

Common sense says cannibalisation, although G certainly doesnt always obey common sense.

More importantly, how were you planning to create 3 sets of rich, unique content there? I suggest one page and using the keywords in various combinations on the page, then linkbuilding with the exact texts you want rank for as well.

1 page of strong content here will do better than 3 duplicates
