How to perform Keyword Research for the e-commerce website which has more than 20,000 products
-
Hello,
I want to work on keyword research for one of our e-commerce website - http://www.grandcrayon.ca which provides office supply products in canada. I am targeting only canada and keyword research will be based on Canada Search results.I would like to know how i will start targeting keywords in organic way for this website. I am using keyword planner tool and get results some how. But should i start keyword research by filtering with different categories or any other easy way that i can give me the keyword results for this site.
I want to know which are the main keywords or the list of keywords on which i should work.
Your valuable inputs will help me a lot!
Thanks

Absolutely agree. Dealing with 20k keywords is something that is almost impossible to do manually. In this case I would personally turn up to http://keywordtool.io/api. This is basically an API for Google autocomplete. I'd use the API to get first 10 results from Google autocomplete for every keyword. Usually the first 10 results from Google autocomplete are the most relevant keywords anyway.

Start with Google Analytics and separate out by landing page - find out what you're already getting the most traffic on and start with those pages/keywords.
Then get some sort of crawl (Screaming Frog, personally) and start with the "levels" from home. Start with homepage targeting, move out to the ones that are "1 level away" and then "2 levels from home."
Add that to your top selling products and categories around them - should get you started.
It's not going to be an easy go, just have to start and keep cranking through it. Run each category through Adwords tool as well and you should get great lists to download & start from.

I would immediately start looking into any solutions that offer an API to make sure you can pull keywords at a fast pace for the 20k products that you offer. By doing this you can cross examine them to make sure you have all the right data sets to make good decisions.

Blog articles on website vs submitting to article submission sites
I had some articles created for a client. The site is on WordPress. I'm wondering if it is best to add the articles to the blog page of the website or if it is better to submit the articles to ezine articles. Or can I submit the same article to both places? Is there a strategy that should be followed generally speaking when creating content for the blog vs article submission sites? The goal is to increase the ranking for target keywords. I realize that the answers could take a lot of different directions. But generally speaking I would like to know, If I have an article where is the best place to add it to achieve better rankings for target keywords? Thanks for the help.

Duplicate Website.. Please Help!
Hi, My Client's Website has been duplicated, exactly the same website theme and etc. It's like a mirror site and my client couldn't figure out who duplicated his website. Actually, it has been hit by Penguin update last May and didn't fully recover yet, because of unnatural links but there's a little improvement with its ranking. I have already fix the keyword stuffed from his homepage with a link to it and the footer links. After fixing it about a week, its ranking is moving up a bit from page 14 to page 8 but it's not stable. Sometimes it go back to page 10 then back to 8. But there still a lot of unnatural links pointing to his website using its targeted keywords to much. I guess the main issue here are the duplicate site and unnatural links pointing to his website. By the way, here's the original site of my client www.apparelus.com and here's the duplicate one www.fs-biz.info/ Thanks!

Keyword Strategy for Very Large Website Launch
My friend and I are launching a website used to track alcoholic beverages. It has over 115k pages, three tier site structure. I am curious about the keyword strategy for the homepage. I know I will get a lot of long tail search traffic for drink names and how to mix drinks. Do I need a Keyword Strategy for my homepage with so many internal pages? Its a new brand we created, not a keyword domain. We would like to rank for how to mix drinks, etc... However with the number of pages we already have a lot of internal link juice. Where should link building be focused?
