Keywords per Page
-
Iv'e looked through the QA here and there are a lot of different conflicting opinions on what is a generally a good idea.
For Example
- Florist Clearwater
- Clearwater Florist
- Florist in Clearwater
- Florist in Clearwater FL
- Clearwater FL Florist
- Clearwater Florida Florist
- Florist in Clearwater Florida
- Florist near Clearwater FL
- etc....
So for something like this example....should I have one page represent all of these keyword iterations or split them among different pages?
-
don't forget plural "florists"
if your site is targeting just clearwater then it should be spread out across the site and not just on one page.
These are too many variations to have on one page BTW. it would look like spamming and not good for readability.

I think this is a fair assumption to make Benjamin. I imagine that Google would semantically link all of those terms together. I'd create a single page and try and use as many iterations of the original keyword as possible - but don't stuff them of course.
-
Sorry, I didn't understand the initial question.
But yes they are extremely similar. The location and keyword is the same throughout all the terms. I think it would be best to have them in a single page.

Hey William,
Thanks for the response but let me clarify. I don't want to get into the tactics for on page keywords per page.
Rather I would like see what SEO's opinions are about if all of these keywords.
Do they accurately represent the same search intent for a local user?
and more importantly does google?
If both are yes then I should have these all assigned for a single page on my website. Correct?
Regards,

Your main focus should just be one keyword and different instances of the keyword.
Lets say focus on Florist Clearwater..you want to have that maybe 1-4 times throughout the page(depends how much content is on that page) and then you want to connect florist with lets say flowers and then you want to connect Clearwater and Florida.
I hate visiting sites and seeing blatant mass keyword terms on a page. It is not good SEO. You should just focus on a single term and then have different instances of your keywords in a way the user can benefit from it.
Try not to clutter the keywords into your page and Google is usually pretty good at connecting different keywords and connecting them in terms.

Am I accidentally Keyword Stuffing?
Hey Guys, So I updated some copy on my site recently and noticed that whatever slender rankings I had (often on page 😎 have completely disappeared. The copy was the only change I have made. Now I haven't intentionally keyword stuffed however I have noticed that there happens to be a lot keywords in there. For example on my PPC page I use the phrase PPC 16 times however it has just naturally fallen into the content as that is what I'm writing about. I'm wondering if there are maybe too many mentions here? 16 repeats of the word PPC and on the page there are 490 words. Does that feel like too much repetition or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks, Matt

Geotargeting on Home Page
I work on a website that have listings across the country. Is it possible for us to geotarget the home page of the website to cater to the person based on location so we can show the geogargeting links, articles, videos on the home page and direct the user in the right direction. Forrent seem to be doing it: http://www.forrent.com/ Will this have any negative SEO impact or we can lose rankings ?

Duplicate page content
Hi Crawl errors is showing 2 pages of duplicate content for my clients WordPress site: /news/ & /category/featured/ Yoast is installed so how best to resolve this ? i see that both pages are canonicalised to themselves so presume just need to change the canonical tag on /category/featured/ to reference /news/ ?(since news is the page with higher authority and the main page for showing this info) or is there other way in Yoast or WP to deal with this & prevent from happening again ? Cheers Dan

Page architecture
We have some good content on our site, particularly relating to UK employment law. One section on unfair dismissal is split into 9 pages - there is a fair amount of legal detail. The question is whether we should combine it all into one "mother of all unfair dismissal" page just to satisfy the Google monster or keep in as it is. Some of the individual pages rank on page 1 already. If we change the architecture are 301 redirects the best way to handle the changing urls? The other more important issue is whether it is easier to read it all on one page or split it. Keeping G happy may not actually keep our users happy. As the content is quite dense we want to ensure we don't overload people. Any thoughts appreciated.

How does a keyword get crawled and pointed at a certain page
I was wondering if you can give me some insight on how a keyword that I put on my campaign gets linked to a specific URL on my website by SEOMoz or Google. For example: updating a brick fireplace is my keyword. On the campaign when I am looking at my on page optimization, the URL assigned (or given) to it is my homepage. How is this determined and is there a way around it and or directing it to the correct page? Thanks

Woah, my A-grade optimized pages that were on the first page have all vanished outside the top 50 in Google... is this Panda?
Yep as mentioned, I had some pages hit the top ten pretty quickly after ensuring they were A-grade for pretty uncompetitive keywords however, today, all bar 2 have just vanished from the top 50! All were ranking in Google.co.uk and I know we were predicting the Panda update to hit soon but WOW! My client is understandably a little upset, what on earch do I tell him and what should I do about it? Cheers! jT
