Can't see why been marked 'Avoid Keyword Stuffing'
-
Hi SEOmoz!
I'm a newbie, first post, here goes...
Working my way through On-Page Report Cards.
Noticed this page http://www.vintageheirloom.com/vintage-chanel/vintage-chanel-bags flagged with 'Avoid Keyword Stuffing in Document'.
Keyword is 'Vintage Chanel bags' and there is just one instance of it on this particular category page??
Any ideas?
Any general pointers for me on www.vintageheirloom.com would also be much appreciated.
Thanks SEOmozzers...

Hi Donford
Many thanks for taking the time for your comprehensive suggestions.
Your spot on with adding 'Why buy from us' on each product page. Sometimes you need another perspective, seems blindingly obvious now...
I'm using OpenCart CMS so adding similar products is a whizz - thanks...
And again great suggestion re dynamically adding 'Vintage...' to just products, I'll need to throw that over to the community but nice suggestion.
Cheers...

Couple good points there.
First on your ranking on google.co.uk, that is great! I verified the ranking for you and did find that google is ranking http://www.vintageheirloom.com/chanel-bags as 1 for that keyword, which is a page that currently doesn't exist on your site (possible it did) and this is google's cached result.
Second on the long tail keywords. I completely agree with the logic if it ain't broke...
In case it does become broke..
Just remember long tail keywords are generally easier to target so simply using the long tail keywords a couple times in the product description maybe sufficient. Also it maybe possible to use them only on the product page and not the listing pages. I know I've had to come up with solutions like this for oscommerce, so I'm sure your CMS would allow you to as well. (Logic, if on product page, echo "Vintage" + $product_name)A couple final suggestions for the site...
1. When a product is sold, it would super convenient for the user who lands on a sold product page to have a quick link to similar products.
2. Your 100% authentic guarantee (I found it on the Why Buy From Us page) should be very easy to find on each product page. I know cost is relative, but before I drop several hundred dollars I want to be sure I'm going to get what I think I'm paying for.Anyway the site looks nice, and and the keyword stuffing warning is just a notice.

Thanks Donford
Although I've got a Grade C page optimisation score, I've just checked and in the UK our site appears on page 1 rank 1 for Vintage Chanel bags (Google) which did surprise me somewhat.
Our products are transient, staying around for 2-6 weeks on average. Each item is unique, so no real time to build links to products / page authority etc. So I think your right to mention concentrating on the category SEO rather than the products (especially for us).
But... if I search for a more long tail term 'vintage chanel pink shoulder bag' we also appear page 1, rank 1, so I feel a bit like 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.
The link to previous discussions isn't specifically about Ecommerce sites. I've checked a few competitors and they use 'Vintage' too, not that this means it is correct.
However I'm always open to change, my gut (not factual) feeling is that dropping Vintage from products would affect adversely the longer tailed search mentioned 'vintage chanel pink shoulder bag'.

Hello Wellits1lounder,
Recently another use had a very similar question. Some of us posted some helpful information there.
Specifically, I did not see an over use of the keyword Vintage Chanel Bags.
However, you should pay attention to your product names and how they will effect category and listing pages. I mention this because "Vintage Chanel" is used extensively on the page you listed. Mostly, this is due the product names. Those names are great for eBay listings, but maybe not for a website. Hierarchical structure would assume that anybody searching for Vintage Chanel Bags on a search engine you would want them to find your category page, not your final product page as those products then are competing with each other for that keyword. This is just a thought, you will need to be the judge of the flow of your website and keyword usage.
I hope this helps you
Edit: must have been typing while you were responding.

Hi Donald
Thanks for speedy response.
Yes you're right, I can see the repetition of phrase 'Vintage Chanel', report is a little misleading. These mostly come from the product names all prefixed with 'Vintage Chanel...'
Feel a bit stuck with the idea of removing 'Vintage Chanel...' from the titles of products though, seems a legitimate phrase and valid if I want to SEO for this phrase. But I'm happy if I'm wrong...
Thanks...

If you look at the keyword 'Vintage Chanel,' the term appears very frequently on the page. You have to remember to see the page as crawlers see it. View the source and do a search and find on that keyword. Or examine it in Webmaster Tools. You'll find that it appears very frequently, in copy as well as in alt text, titles, urls, etc. Hope that helps!

Duplicate 'meta title' issue (AMP & NON-AMP Pages)
how to fix duplicate meta title issue in amp and non-amp pages? example.com
On-Page Optimization | | 21centuryweb
example.com/amp We have set the 'meta title' in desktop version & we don't want to change the title for AMP page as we have more than 10K pages on the website. ----As per SEMRUSH Tool---- ABOUT THIS ISSUE It is a bad idea to duplicate your title tag content in your first-level header. If your page’s <title>and <h1> tags match, the latter may appear over-optimized to search engines. Also, using the same content in titles and headers means a lost opportunity to incorporate other relevant keywords for your page.</p> <p><strong>HOW TO FIX IT</strong></p> <p>Try to create different content for your <title> and <h1> tags.<br /><br />this is what they are recommending, for the above issue we have asked our team to create unique meta and post title for desktop version but what about AMP page?<br /><br />Please help!</p></title>0 -
Should I be worried about our 'Duplicate' content
Hi guys... I've just been working through some issues to give our site a little cleanup. I'm working through our duplicate content issues (we have some legitimate duplicate pages that need removing, and some of our dynamic content is problematic. Are web developers are going to sort with canonical tags this week.) However... There are some pages that are actually different products, but are very similar pages that are 'triggering' MOZ to say we have duplicate pages. Here an example... http://www.toaddiaries.co.uk/filofax-refills/filo-12-month-inserts-personal-size/fortnight-view-filofax-personal and http://www.toaddiaries.co.uk/filofax-refills/filo-12-month-inserts-personal-size/week-to-a-view-filofax-personal They are very similar refill products, it's just the diary format is different. Question: Should I be worried about this? I've never seen our rankings change in the past when 'cleaning up' duplicate content. What do you guys think? Isaac.

Content hidden behind a 'read all/more..' etc etc button
Hi Anyone know latest thinking re 'hidden content' such as body copy behind a 'read more' type button/link in light of John Muellers comments toward end of last year (that they discount hidden copy etc) & follow up posts on Search Engine Round Table & Moz etc etc ? Lots of people were testing it and finding such content was still being crawled & indexed so presumed not a big deal after all but if Google said they discount it surely we now want to reveal/unhide such body copy if it contains text important to the pages seo efforts. Do you think it could be the case that G is still crawling & indexing such content BUT any contribution that copy may have had to the pages seo efforts is now lost if hidden. So to get its contribution to SEO back one needs to reveal it, have fully displayed ? OR no need to worry and can keep such copy behind a 'read more' button/link ? All Best Dan

Can't figure why ranking dropped after SEO improved.
I took a website that never had any keyword research performed, meta data filled in or anything strategic regarding getting ranked on the search engines. We rebuilt the website from an old Dreamweaver install using Wordpress, did keyword research, optimized one page per keyword term, filled in all the appropriate meta data and alt tags. The site has dropped in rankings and I've been working for the past 3 months to attempt to raise it up. Can you see what I am doing wrong? (This is the client site: http://www.atozqualityfencing.com).

Archetecture to avoid content duplicate
Hi, I have lots of duplicate stuff and I need a better site architecture. http://www.furnacefilterscanada.com/ We are selling furnace filters. All furnace filters are sold in 50 different sizes, each sizes comes in 3 different qualities, Bronze, Silver and Gold. Total: 150 products. Right now I have created many categories and subcategories for furnace filters sizes. When the client pickup is sizes, he will end-up to the products page with 3 different options, Bronze, Silver and Gold. They can then compare the filter a select the one he wants to purchase. The problem is, it is not possible to provide different content for each filters, Gold has a description, Silver has another one and also Bronze. The only text that will change in the descriptions, is the filter size. This makes Duplicates text description. Not good when you what to index your site. The positive things to 150 different products, is the page title. example 16x25x4 furnace filters. Those exacte tem get search in Google. A new site architecture with 3 categories, Gold, Silver and Bronze & 50 variables by products (filters sizes) might not be the best options, because no filter size will be index. Can you please help me to find the best architecture in a SEO point of view? Also what about the top navigation bar menu, what is the best options in using it? Right now it is use for Legal, Contact, Policy and I fill it is a wast, those page only get less then 1% clicks. It might be more convenient to use those for categories for example, what is your recommendations in a SEO point of view? Can I create a information page in the left navigation menu and includ all the standard page, like: Policy, Legal ... If I do, will I get penalize by Google? Thank you for your help. We have puts lots of money in AdWords before, but now the next step is to come home organics. I'm using SEOmoz tools, read there new book, and I want increase traffic. I just need your help. Thank you, BigBlaze
