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?

Great, I'm so glad your issue has been resolved, Greg! Thanks for updating us!

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

For an e-commerce product category page that has several funnels to specific products, for SEO purposes does it matter whether the category page's overview content is above or below those funnels?
We manage an e-commerce site. On a category page, there are several funnels to specific products. We moved the category overview content below those funnels to make it easier for users to quickly get to products. Seems more user friendly to me, but could that move of the main content to the lower part of the page be a negative ranking factor?

Updated page not ranking.
Hi Guys. Bit flummoxed by this. I've recently updated our Mid year diaries page to be this years mid year products. i.e) Diaries that go from 2015-16 not 2014-15. Last year we rank really well for the search term 'mid year diaries 14-15'. All i've done is update the page to be focused on 2015-16 diaries, but when i type in 'mid year diaries 15-16' it's no where to be seen in the SERP. Even our home page is ranking higher! I'm really puzzled about this, nothings changed apart from the year! The only reason I can think of is that Google is reading the file name of the images which are related to lasts years products? For example the file name might say mid year diary 2014-15. Do you think this is what's effecting us? Very puzzling 😕 I've submitted it through Webmaster tool btw 🙂 Isaac.

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

10 Mobile Pages. 5 Desktop Pages. Canonnical to where?
I have a mobile site with more pages than the desktop site. Normally I would just point the page equivalents to the desktop site using the rel canonnical tag. What about the 5 pages? Do I just leave them be? Thanks

On Page Optimization Reports
How is it determined which terms and associated urls are chosen when SEOmoz tracks your On-Page Report Card? I'm receiving a lot of F Grades for terms I'm not really interested in and a lot of terms I'd like to be tracked aren't. Is there a way I can manually choose which terms and pages I'd like to be shown?

Duplicate Page Title
Hi Guys, First off, it's an honour to be a part of this awesome community. I'm using WordPress and getting top 3 rankings for great keywords and I'm very excited, however my page titles are in this format "keyword optimised title here - site name here" eg: "This is my keyword - this is the name of my blog", "This is another keyword - this is the name of my blog", "This is a longtail keyword - this is the name of my blog" SEOMoz is reporting errors because of duplicate page title tags due to the "this is the name of my blog" being in every page title. Will this hurt my rankings? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work! Cheers, Troy.

I'm running a campaign report within SEOmoz & am getting 9 pages that appear on this report. They all happen to be our author pages www.example.com//author/admin We have multiple authors. Is there a proper way that I should take care of this? Also as a side note, I'm using Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin, is there a setting on their I should change that will fix this issue? Or is it an issue at all? Thanks, BJ
