SeoMoz Pro - Keyword stuffing but its a forum
-
hiya guys
Just going through the Seomoz Pro on page thing
One of the flagged items is keyword stuffing, I have 22 keywords (stuffed) but they want it down to 15, the thing is, my website is a forum. and the keyword stuffing is from the title name of each categories eg
its a nightlife forum so
Birmingham nightlife forum
Brighton nightlife forum
Leeds nightlife forum
Manchester nightlife forum
u get the picture
To avoid this keyword stuffing, should I change some of the forum names to eg leeds nightlife forum > leeds nightlife forums? just by adding the 's that will half the keywords, but its not solving the problem in the long run, if i was to add more cities and areas with the XXXX nightlife foru.
What you reckon guys?
Cheers guys

Cheers, I very much appreciate your comments dana!! from your opinion, should I fill / wait / for the forums to fill up with content then add more areas, or add more areas now and gradually fill the forums, its a catch 22, more forums = less busy = less attractive, but more area's = wider audience = more traffic (sort of)
what you think about this?

Hi Luke,
I think your idea is a good one. Another possibility would be "Birmingham Club Scene" or "Birmingham Night Clubs Talk" or anything that's a synonym for what you want. Change it up a little bit and make it fun.
Hey, I just browsed around your site. It' fun! I think you are doing a killer job. Aside from using more variety in your on-site language, stay the course man. I envy you having a site with UGC! (User Generated Content0.

thanks for your response, what do you suggest? take alook at http://www.talknightlife.co.uk
Do you think I should change the category names from eg Birmingham nightlife forum to Birmingham Discussion ? would that lower my rankings for the term birimingham nightlife ? although in the forum within that section there is a keyword placement, birmingham nightlife.
I'm unsure what will benefit me
Cheers
Luke

I don't think the problem is the name os the locations. I think the problem is the over use of the term "nightlife." There are lots of synonyms for that, like "Night clubs" "night life" "night spot" "club" "tavern" etc. I really think the problem is with the over use of that word "nightlife"

Meta keywords
should every site have meta keywords or is this not used anymore? I don't use yoast and prefer rank math but there is nowhere to insert it. when I look at moz bar it shows meta keywords as a field so maybe it is important...

Keywords ranking on Homepage but are not mentioned.
I was wondering why some of my keywords are ranking in my homepage but are not mentioned even once. Is it maybe because they are semantically related with the keywords targeted on the homepage? What are the reason(s) for this? Thanks for enlightening me with this one.

Keyword Appearing on Home Page - Moz Page Grader
Hi Today I entered www.partydomain.co.uk through the Moz Page Grader and found that the Home Page is Ranked B. I noticed that an Area we could improve on is the amount of times we are using our main keyword "Fancy Dress" on the home page. Please can you take a look at www.partydomain.co.uk and scroll to the bottom of the page were the tabs are containing losts of content. I am thinking about removing all of thoose Tabs. Our Competitors dont have any content as such on the home page and are ranking higher than Party Domain for "fancy dress" What do you think ? remove all the tabs to be like the others that rank better? Or cut the text right down ? Thanks Adam

Ted Baker London - Men's Clothing Collections 2005-2008 | Sartorialmoz.org The keywords:
Ted Baker
Ted Baker London
Ted Baker Clothing
Ted Baker Mens
Ted Baker Mens Clothing
Ted Baker Mens Collection So what I am wondering is the keyword Ted Baker Mens Collection actually getting found. In this case we are dealing with a contraction (men's) and a plural form of a keyword (collections). Is it plucked out from the title tag above?
Like this? Ted Baker London - Men's Clothing Collections 2005-2008 | Sartorialmoz.org In his article he goes on to say the biggest mistake he sees is, unfortunately exactly the way our site was built 6 years ago. That is people doing this: Ted Baker, Ted Baker London, Ted Baker Clothing, Ted Baker Men's Clothing, Ted Baker Clothing Collection - Buy Online Now at Manamialameseo.com Our site does just that, while we are PR 4 and get decent traffic for the business we are in, we are doing a huge update with new pages, information, and most importantly trying to get all the SEO the best as possible. I want to make sure before we make these what could be huge impact changes that search engines do in fact Pluck the keywords from the title tag, and they are not required to be together. Thank you for any thoughts, answers and most importantly your time. Example following this formula: Our Top 3 Keywords:
Molded Rubber
Rubber Molding
Custom Molded Rubber Our Old way:
Title: Custom Molded Rubber, Rubber Molding, Molded Rubber
The new way:
Title: Custom Molded Rubber - Molding Services | OurSite.com0 -
Keyword vs Brand Domain Name
Hi guys, I'm about to launch a new site for a friend who is an accountant in a specialist field. He's already bought 2 domains: **www.[keyword]-accountants.net ** **www.[brand]accountants.com ** We have made the decision to use the brand domain to host the site but what can we do with the keyword domain as exact match domains still seem to be ranking well in the serps? e.g. build keyword links to the keyword domain (heavily seo'd content) and build brand links to the brand domain (conversion-optimised content) then after while 301 the keyword domain? Any new suggestions will be gratefully received!
