How can I maximize my On Page for these two common usages
-
I have a page that is tuned for this query: 1886 ten dollar bill and I am happy with my placement.
The same page performs poorly if someone types: 1886 $10 dollar bill
Is there anything I can do short of having another page tuned for the $ rather than 10?

Hi Greg, has this issue been resolved? We'd love an update! Thanks, Christy

Easiest thing to do is replace every instance of "1886 ten dollar bill" with "1886 ten dollar ($10) bill" - it contains all variations you need to rank for. Let me know if that helped.

Sounds like I need to do some trial and error with the on page utility. I will add the $ to the body and see where I get too.
Thank you!

I agree re two pages... I can't imagine the overhead that would require. I grade an A for the spelled out version and an F for the $ version.

Hi Andy,
I am working from New York city but anywhere in the US should hopefully give the same results. The target is the US.
I sent you the URL privately.
Kind regards,
Greg

I've actually gotten google to recognize scenarios like that for pages like that so it's possible.
I've experimented on doing some internal linking (if possible) and get a few links to come in with the $ sign.
Mention the $ sign in the body and eventually, I've gotten it to work.
Sometimes, location does affect that kind of search term though so that's another variable.

I would not recommend setting up a different page for the different queries.
Have you used the Moz page-grader tool and entered in each query to ensure you get an "A" grade for both queries?

Hi
What is the url you are wanting to improve - without looking at the page its a bit hard to give some advice. if you don't want to share it - you can send me a private message and I will take a look.
Without looking at the page, does the page actually contain the phrase '1886 $10 bill'.
Also when you are checking your rankings, what area (state, town etc) are you looking from so that I can try replicate the same conditions as you and see the same competitors. So that I can identify what is making them rank above you.
Thanks
Andy

Duplicate Page Titles
It seems as though we are being flagged for duplicate page titles when really they are slightly different. Is it better to remove the "dart board" or "dart board backboard" from all the product titles? We were doing this for optimal SEO - to rank for the search of "dart board" - but is it really hurting us? for example, our product titles are: Obama dart board backboard, Texas dart board backboard, Oklahoma dart board backboard, etc. Yet they are being flagged as duplicate titles.

Home page and category page target same keyword
Hi there, Several of our websites have a common problem - our main target keyword for the homepage is also the name of a product category we have within the website. There are seemingly two solutions to this problem, both of which not ideal: Do not target the keyword with the homepage. However, the homepage has the most authority and is our best shot at getting ranked for the main keyword. Reword and "de-optimise" the category page, so it doesn't target the keyword. This doesn't work well from UX point of view as the category needs to describe what it is and enable visitors to navigate to it. Anybody else gone through a similar conundrum? How did you end up going about it? Thanks Julian

Homepage On-page Optimization
How do you all handle homepage optimization, if you (or a client) offers a variety of services? Our homepage has the strongest link profile of any of our pages, but it lists all the areas of law we cover. Therefore, it has too many keywords and none really rank well. Should we just pick our most profitable areas and optimize for that? www.kempruge.com in case anyone would benefit from looking at the actual page. Thanks, Ruben

If I want to rank well on one keyword would it be better to optimize multiple pages on the website for the keyword or should I only optimize one page for that keyword?

Exstinguishing Page Rank?
Hi Guys, Here is a thought. Google gives more weight to links in content, less to navigation etc.. Therefore if they say give 50% of a pages rank to a link within content and 50% to the the other elements. What happens to the total pagerank from a page if you have not utilized in page content links? (is it lost) If this is the case, and you have a site that does not use content links on every page, are you loosing value (and hard earned) pagerank. Google did mention sometime back about pagerank being exstinguished with the nofollow tag. I would be interested to hear what others think? Cheers Scott

Duplicate page titles
We have search results pages on our site. They share the same page title, there is no real differentiator between the result pages, other than page 1, page 2 etc. How do we de-dup the titles? just add page 1/2/3 etc to the end of them?
