Webmaster Tools Content Keywords & Meta Tagging
-
In Webmaster tools , Content keywords give an indication of what Google thinks a site is about.
This site is a health site ( online shopping - health supplements ) - but one of the terms it thinks the site is about is "Dollar" . I'm guessing this is because on every page there is Currency Selection from multiple currencies.
How do I tell Google that this part of the page is nothing to do with what my site is about?
Thanks for your reply in advance!

Webmaster Tools isn't telling you that it thinks your website is about Dollars, its telling you that it sees that mentioned often on your site. You really don't need to fix anything, but perhaps adding more content about your target keyword will help push that down a bit. Are you saying something costs "88 Dollars" all over your website or actually using a $?
If its the latter, that would be very interesting. If its the former, remove dollar and use $ instead. Cheers!

Hi Marty,
I wouldn't worry about it too much. It doesn't mean that Google thinks your website is all about dollars or that you'll start ranking for dollar-related keywords. It's just a list of the most common words Google found on your site, and in my experience, it's not a very useful feature in Webmaster Tools.
There's also a "Significance" bar next to each keyword. I would bet that "dollar" might have a lot of occurrences on your site, but Google has assigned a low significance to it.
If you really want to get into analyzing the content on your site, you might want to look at something like the the Moz Page Grader (https://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader) or Scribe (http://scribecontent.com/).

Rewriting content dilemma? should i include keywords ?
hi, i am rewriting content since it had 300 words , lower than top 10s i did some keywords research, on ahrefs, moz, keywordtool . io, semrush. and there are lot of variations like, main keyword is (ios 12) has variations like (ios 12 download), (ios 12 install), (ios 12 not supported) and so on, people have been searching all these terms with ios 12, it feels like if my page talks about all these variations. i have more chances to rank. does it make any sense?

Soft 404s for unpublished & 301'd content
Hi, One site I work with unpublished a lot of thin content. Great idea, right? These unpublished pages were then 301'd up to the main category page that they previously existed in. Now Google Webmaster Tools calls them out as soft 404 errors. This seems unexpected since the pages were 301'd. Here is my question; Is this a serious problem that may affect the site's overall organic results and if so what should I do about it? Thanks... Darcy

Product descriptions & Duplicate Content: between fears and reality
Hello everybody, I've been reading quite a lot recently about this topic and I would like to have your opinion about the following conclusion: ecommerce websites should have their own product descriptions if they can manage it (it will be beneficial for their SERPs rankings) but the ones who cannot won't be penalized by having the same product descriptions (or part of the same descriptions) IF it is only a "small" part of their content (user reviews, similar products, etc). What I mean is that among the signals that Google uses to guess which sites should be penalized or not, there is the ratio "quantity of duplicate content VS quantity of content in the page" : having 5-10 % of a page text corresponding to duplicate content might not be harmed while a page which has 50-75 % of a content page duplicated from an other site... what do you think? Can the "internal" duplicated content (for example 3 pages about the same product which is having 3 diferent colors -> 1 page per product color) be considered as "bad" as the "external" duplicated content (same product description on diferent sites) ? Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Is this ok for content on our site?
We run a printing company and as an example the grey box (at the bottom of the page) is what we have on each page http://www.discountbannerprinting.co.uk/banners/vinyl-pvc-banners.html We used to use this but tried to get most of the content on the page, but we now want to add a bit more in-depth information to each page. The question i have is - would a 1200 word document be ok in there and not look bad to Google.
