Is this keyword stuffing?
-
This is one of my competitor's sites. I ran the on-page report card and the word Hyundai is on the page 102 times, and 67 times in the body. Here is the link: http://www.rosenhyundai.com
I would love to hear your guys opinion, if this is keyword stuffing and could it get penalized by panda? Thanks for your help.

So what if it is. So what if it's not. The question is: What are you doing to produce content that increases engagement with your brand? In cases like this, what your competitor is doing is inconsequential.
Understand that content mapped to your business goals is the whole deal and if you're not ranking at the top of search results, then someone is doing what needs to be don better than you are. If that's the case, you need to figure out how to be better--not how to dis them.
Don't dilly dally over what the competitor is doing--create an editorial calendar that blows them away and stick to it. Dig deep into the needs of your customers and produce content that will satisfy them. Think engagement. Think G+. Think social networking. Think about what your prospective customers need as they set out looking for a new car and write about that. Think like a publisher. Be creative.

If he is outranking you for your keywords, which I assume he is, I don't think it is purely because of the keyword stuffing. This company appears to have at least two other top ranking domains. That is just for the search term 'Hyundai Algonquin'. All of which appear to be using 'Hyundai' terms heavily.
Maybe it could get penalized, but it doesn't seem to be hurting them too bad right now. As EGOL mentioned, they could be a lot stronger. Capitalize on their weaknesses. Being that you are on SEOmoz, you have access to all the tools necessary to find out what you need to do to beat them.

opinion, if this is keyword stuffing ?...
The copy is written more for SEO than it is for the visitor. I have seen a lot worse. I don't think that it is too risky. A few years ago lots of website content was written this way and lots of it is still out there producing visitors.
opinion, if this could it get penalized by panda?
I doubt it. I think that panda is after thin content and duplicate.
Really this site is dangerous for you if you are his competitor. If they fix the title tags, improve h1, paragraph text and linkage their performance will go up.

What's the value of Exact Match Keyword Domains vs. Company Name Domains?
Hey Mozers, I was in a discussion this morning about the value of Exact Match Keyword domains vs. a company name domain and wanted to get a little more clarification. Let's say we are doing a site for a company called Favored Dental, and they have had the domain favoredental.com for quite a while and have their authority built up in it. Is it better to have favored-dental.com or favoreddental.co or keep its current form? The reasoning behind the alternate domains would be they have the exact match keyterm, in this case lets say "Favored Dental" is the keyterm we were going after. To my knowledge EMDs aren't as relevant as they'd use to be as Google would rather branding of companies instead of keyterm domains? Is this correct, or do EMDs of keywords you're going after hold higher authority? Thanks for the clarification!

How to check Google Keyword rankings?
Hey, So I recently watched the DuckDuckGo commercial about Google's results bubble. My question is how can you get the actual keyword rankings of relevant key phrases without Google taking your locations and search history into account? Would it just be a case of clearing your cache & history from the beginning of time or is there an accurate tool (other than SEOmoz ofc that I can use? Best regards, Dan

How to compare my pages with a Keyword Difficulty Report
I'm very new to SEO, but know just enough to be dangerous. I've run my first full KWD report and formatted the results per Jordan Judson's blog post. Now I'd like to compare how related pages on my site compare to these results. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to accomplish this task. Any guidance would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Steve

How do you relate this reletively abstract "number" to the real world? Thank you!
