From the above example u can see that "Guitar Strings USA" appears in H1 and H2, is it okay? or should i remove it?

I'd echo this comment. Your H1 tag should be unique and identify the most important information. H2 tags should be for subcategories. See example below:

That's getting a little close to keyword spamming by repeating the exact same thing. My personal suggestion is to keep all headers unique. Think more about what is good for the users and less about the specific keywords. Repeating the same title twice just looks off for the reader.
Important exception: Sometimes I'll have a meta title (<title>Text</title>) and
be similar in language, but that's where I draw the line. In your example above, I'd possibly use more "promotional" language in the second
tag. Think of some text that will entice the reader to what to keep reading...
One other note: Do you really need "USA"? I'm sure Google knows that your site is in the United States and targeting Americans (you can also set that in Google Webmaster Tools). But adding that phrase looks more weird from a user standpoint than just saying simply, "Guitar Strings."
I hope that helps!

Repeat keywords on the pages/titles
I know it is important to avoid duplicate titles and title tags, but I wanted to verify. Lets say you are a collection agency, would it be smart as a strategy to do domain.com/collectionagency/Dallas_ collection_agency and have that same key word structure for many states so many pages?

Is this method of redirecting of 404 okay?
Hi all, This is my first post at this forum 🙂 I'am running a Opencart shop with a SEO extension installed. This extension has a redirect module which works like this. When visiting the site on 404 url (and if there is setup a redirect for that url). It serves the correct content but on the 404 url with the correct url set in rel canonical. For example: Try visit this url:

https://makitech.no/ventilasjon/ventilasjons-pakketilbud
Here i have setup a redirect to the correct content, which is actually this url https://makitech.no/pakketilbud I am used to use a 301 header redirect so the user get redirected to the correct url. So my question is this. Is it a okay practice to serve the content on the 404 url (it responds 200) when the correct url is set in canonical? Any thoughts?0 -
Moz Pro recommends not using a keyword more than 15 times. If there is a lot of content and the density is low, is it okay to go over that?
From MOZ on-page grader... "Recommendation: Edit your page to use your targeted keywords no more than 15 times." But if I use a keyword 50 times and the keyword density is only 2 percent, is that ok? What is more important, the raw number used or the density?

Is minor duplicate content on my website okay?
I know duplicate content across multiple websites is not a good thing, however I've always wondered about minor duplicate content on your own website. I know its good practice to have unique content on each page but what about the little stuff. For example on our website certain related pages share the same content in a right sidebar. Such as links to pdf leaflets, or "you can read our blog etc" . Is there a minimum number of repeated words required before its flagged as duplicate content? Another example is a customer gave two testimonials for two of our employees - the testimonials were identical other than the employee names - if these were posted on separate pages is it a problem for the site as a whole or for both those individual pages? Thanks

Is there a problem when passages of text are repeating on varios pages?
Hi Everybody, I am working on travel-pages and there are 4 tours that all start their itinerary in "Manaus", so I have 4 pages containing all a passage of the same text about Manaus. How will Google interpret this? Just pick one of the four pages in relation to Manaus Keywords and index, or index none of them? What should I do, because there is no canonical tag for parts of pages? I'm curious about what you think 🙂 Best regards,

Are plural & singular versions of keywords considered repeats ?
Hi Are plural and singular versions of keywords if used in same page element such as a title tag considered as a keyword repeat ? How naughty are keyword repeats in title tags ? I personally think that so long as the page content justifies their existence in title then should be fine. I ask because i hear talk that one should avoid kw repeats in title tags, but surely in cases like the below example its ok ? If i were to give this page: www.leisurecentres.com/uk-leisure-centre-guide This title tag: UK Leisure Centre Guide | Leisure Centres Surely thats ok ? Cheers Dan
