Keyword Question: How to Target my Niche
-
Hello,
I'm a health coach helping people with multiple sclerosis. Here's my website:
bobweikel(dot)com
What do you think the top 4 local keywords would be for my niche? I'm in Boise ID.
I'm thinking
MS Boise
MS Boise Idaho
Multiple Sclerosis Boise
Multiple Sclerosis Boise Idaho
With your intuition, do you think these are valuable keywords for a coaching site? Also, can you think of any other keywords? I want this 100% white hat.

Sorry for the very late response, I was traveling and busy in office once I got back, thanks to penguins, pandas and the rest of the zoo.
To answer the second part of your question the keywords need to be revised accordingly. I would focus on NLP therapy, NLP Practitioner, NLP life coaching as primary seed keywords. For MS related keywords it would be best to focus on lifestyle for MS keywords.
And yes, the title goes well with your service, though its longer than 65 characters.

Sangeeta,
Thank you. That makes sense. A possible title is
NLP Health Coach | MS Treatment Center & Therapy, Multiple Sclerosis, Boise Idaho
Except that my services are not at a center, they're at my office, and I don't do therapy, it's more like life coaching than therapy.
Your thoughts?

Hi Bob,
I would not go with anyone of these keywords. You need people looking for treatment to come you your website. That way they will convert better. So even if the search numbers are few, your primary keyword should be
MS Treatment Boise
multiple sclerosis treatment Boise
MS treatment center Boise
multiple sclerosis treatment center Boise
MS therapy Boise
Multiple sclerosis therapy Boise
We have tried this and with good results; if you do not append the city name you can add geo metatags for the best local results.
However your website is more geared towards NLP. There are almost nil searches for NLP and MS together.

Should we go after this main keyword?
Hello, We run an online store. The main content keyword for our niche is very competitive, but if I was going to go look up information and I was one of our customers, that is exactly what I would type in - this main general keyword. We have an expert in the field to write it and plenty of time. Although the main keyword is competitive, there are many many subkeywords that are a lot less competitive that would be answered in the article. It's tough to find good topics in this niche. We're thinking about doing a "Complete Guide to X". We would have far less backlinks and authority for about half of the 30 keywords it will cover than our main competitors. Should we do this and spend the next couple of years working on it, or should we perhaps target a smaller topic? Any advice is appreciated.

Specific KW question...
Hi, I have this site: http://www.aerlawgroup.com. It's ranking very well overall for all targeted KWs. However, I have seen a drop for one main KW: "Los Angeles criminal defense attorney." It currently ranks #8 (it used to be as high as #2). What's interesting is that for similar (yet slightly less competitive KWs, he ranks much better - "Los Angeles Criminal Defense Lawyer." I'm not trying to be greedy with rankings, but I would love feedback and/or tips regarding any issues that could be contributing to this drop. Thanks.

Ecommerce Internal Linking Questions
I am a bit confused at internal linking for ecommerce site. Is it wise to link say all "boots" term in the review section to the boots page? Zappos is doing this. Wouldn't this incur penguin penalty? Since all internal anchor to that page is "boots" ? Scroll down to the bottom and checkout their reviews: http://www.zappos.com/tony-lama-6071l Is this the wise way to go about doing internal linking? Thanks

Infographic question
I am about to post my first Infographic and have a question. The graphic is fairly long and was wondering, is it better to split this graphic up in to chunks? So that it loads in stages? I am new to this and would be great if someone could point me to the latest and best practices for infographics. I have seen a few articles but they appear to be old. Thanks for your help

How to Target Multiple Keywords in Single Page
Hey There, We're planning to target multiple keywords in a single page.. they keywords are definitely related and to an extent could be considered as synonyms.. We have a few questions as to how to optimize the page for on page and off page. On Page Do we mention all the targeted keywords on the page? At a maximum we could mention the keywords once..of course want to give out relevant and quality content and do not want to focus on keyword density How do we optimize the URL structure? For ex... We have keywords aa, ab and ac, where a is the base keyword Is it a good option to to have a URL structure like http://www.example.com/a-b-c.html? How do we go about mentioning the targeted keywords in meta description.. We've read the articles at SEOMoz.. but would want opinions What about HI, H2 and H3 Tags? how do we go about optimizing these Off Page While using off page we will of course vary our anchor text with the multiple keywords... this will make it look natural. Will we manage to rank for the multiple keywords (if we vary anchor text) that we're targeting if our backlinking method are strong? Thank you all for your inputs and responses...
