Interlinking-Canibalization?
-
I have a page http://villasdiani/diani-beach with which I am trying desperately rank for keyword Diani beach. Seomoz report showed me some hints regarding cannibalization where is it pointing out that I am linking to restaurants in Diani beach: http://villasdiani.com/category/restaurants-and-nightclubs-diani-beach/ etc...Would be the best Seo practice if I rather place the links to categories with restaurants, activities in Diani beach to side bar?

Thank you very much Scott, I am not familiar with htaccess files so I guess I will try out the plugin
Thank you very much Scott!

If you are familiar with .htaccess files, you can add a 301 redirect from the old page to the new page.
Otherwise, I recommend you install the Redirection WordPress plugin instead: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/
Regarding the link from sunsetdianivilla.com, that's too bad the domain name expired

Thank you very much for your answer Scott. Yes, I have reset the page and placed links to categories on side bar.
Yes, I have removed this category recently(few days): http://villasdiani.com/category/diani-beach/ I thought that as it has the same slug as the page and it is not good. I was not really sure what to do so I just deleted it:-( Should I redirect the category to Diani beach page? How can I do it?
I am desperately trying around 2 years to rank for Diani beach, I have been once on second page. In that time I lost link from www.sunsetdianivilla.com which was our previous website and had a link from www.dianibeach.com I do not know if this was really the cause or it is just too much word "beach" or what is the problem:-(

It looks like you've set up your http://villasdiani.com/diani-beach/ page correctly now. What page is currently ranking in the search engines now for a "diani beach" search?
I notice when doing a "site:" search in google this page shows up as a 404 page http://villasdiani.com/category/diani-beach/ ... is that recent?
If you want to rank for 'diani beach', you will probably need much more backlinks from other websites to your beach landing page.
How many years have you been trying to optimize that page?

Reputable Place For Guest Posts
We do our SEO in-house, and I don't have the time for blogger outreach. Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can submit our content to be pitched to relevant outlets for backlinks and US traffic? I am not in it for someone creating our content; I write it myself and have a degree in the content I produce. I am looking for a place that gets REAL US traffic, not some P.B.N. sites or those where I can create accounts at a post myself. I want real traffic from relevant, reputable blogs or a place where I can have them use my content and find niche sites for me.

What type of interlinks are best from articles I write?
Hi everyone, I run a job board (job website) - www.hawaiijobengine.com - and on the homepage I have 50 job categories ("Accounting / Finance" is one another is "Admin / Clerical" etc). I write your typical 400 word article length, giving career insight. Questions: should I 70% of the time try to use exact keywords in the article and link to those categories and other 30% of links should be to more specific search terms like "accountant in CITY NAME". The 50 categories already have decent rankings already and those are the once I am trying to push higher. Obviously, I also want weaker pages (more specific search terms) to rank higher too. I am writing genuine and original content, it is just a matter off whether I should adjust my keyword focus. On average how many different interlinks from a 400 page article is acceptable. Range of 1-3, with 2 on average sounding about right? Most of the times I have only 1 or 2 interlinks from each article, but once in a while I want to link 6-7 places within the article. I don't know if that is appropriate. thank you, Kristian

Interlinking articles and posts
I have many articles and blog posts on my site. How should I interlink them for the MOST benefit to my root domain. For example, should I consider pointing pages with higher SEOMoz page rank or trust to those with lower rank? Or does that not matter?
