Can I target the same keywords on multiple sites?
-
I am launching a series of geographically specific sites to support my main website.
Is there any problem with targeting the same keywords on both sites?
-
The short answer is no, there is no issue with targeting the keywords on each site but you will have to put twice the work in... A better option would be to use the same site and build more domain authority to that site and target some different keywords to increase traffic.
Or are you trying to appear on the first SERP page multiple times using different domains?

Competing Pages for Ranking Keywords?
Hey there, My client has this existing page which ranks for rentals-related keywords that are product type specific - i.e. electric wheelchair rentals, mobility scooter rentals, etc. https://mobilityequipmentforless.com/pages/rentals I recently made a rentals page for each product type to try and really target those keywords that the rentals page is ranking for. Is this a problem? Is the potential nature of the pages competing for the keywords a real issue? Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Mike

Over 20 Categories, No Keyword Strategy, Can someone help?
Hello Friends, I have recently built a big site with nearly 300 pages (to begin with) and there are around 20 categories on the website. I want to get 3-4 keywords ranked for each category but I don't know how and where to begin. My site revolves around wedding industry but does not have a "Main Keyword" - not yet at least. A couple of "Main Keywords" (these keywords actually describe my website) that I thought of have ZERO traffic but I have few good keywords for each category. Can someone please suggest how do I begin with? Regards, Naimath

Two for the price of one: Can I rank for multiple keywords when only targeting one keyword?
If I'm optimizing for a specific keyword, is it accurate to assume that by ranking for that specific keyword that I will also be able to rank for similar or root keywords merely by ranking for the original keyword? For example, if I'm targeting 'free online bucket list' is it safe to assume that I will also be able to inadvertently rank for 'online bucket list' or 'free bucket list'? Can I assure clients of this? Or if I'm targeting 'Colorado grocery store' should I also naturally rank for 'grocery store Colorado' and not need to make both of these my targeted keywords?

Do building sites on expired domains help?
Many times I have wondered whether building sites on expired domains, which are sold at popular domain auction websites like TDNAM(Godaddy),SEDO etc. Is it of any worth ? Buying domains with existing parameters such as PR,Alexa ranks etc. and already indexed pages where these expired sites rank on keywords which one is looking forth and then building sites on these domains to promote your other sites. How successful would this trick be?
