Would this be considered keyword cannabalization?
-
If I have an article, titled 7 signs of unhealthy eating and the title tag for five different pages looks like this:
keyword | article title
ex: Binge Eating | 7 Signs of Unhealthy Eating
ex: Lack of Fruits & Vegetables | 7 Signs of Unhealthy Eating
etc, etc.

Hi Michelle.
The article you link to describes pagination issues. That is where you have a single topic whose length extends the page so you see multiple pages (page-2, page-3, etc). That has no relation to what I described, although it could be a factor with the solution EGOL shared.
Keyword cannibalization happens when you have multiple pages on your site competing for search engine traffic for the same key word. That does not happen in this solution.

Wouldn't technique #1 described here http://www.searchenginejournal.com/pagination-and-duplicate-content-issues/7204/ be an example of keyword cannibalization as well?

I would publish ALL of this information on a big single kickass page using your "Seven Signs" as subheadings. At the top of your page there would be a nice article menu that contains anchor text links that shoot the visitor down to the sections of the article. These are powerful for optimization.
People who land on this page will faint when they see all of this information in a huge authoritative page. An impressive presentation like this can attract a lot of links if you do a good job.
Just one concern.... I hope that your article has better punctuation, grammar, capitalization and format than your question here. It would also be a good idea to avoid the etc. etc. stuff - replacing it with clear detailed descriptions. I am not trying to be mean with this comment but hoping to kick you up a notch in your asking questions here and in your writing in general.
Good luck!

Yes, that would be an example of cannibalization.
If you were going to write an article with that tile, I would recommend offering 8 pages. Page 1 would be titled "7 Signs of Unhealthy Eating". It would list the 7 signs, and each list item would be a text link to the page which addressed that topic.
Page 1 title: 7 Signs of Unhealthy Eating
Page 2 title: Binge Eating

Is using part of a meta description already on your site for another product considered duplicate?
I'm writing meta descriptions for this site, trying to keep them different, however, for two product types, I want to add the same info I added in the other likeminded product's meta descriptions. Is this ok as long as it's not the whole sentence or am I really to rewrite the same info another way, which is hard for " quick shipping available for x amount of colors ". Any Advice?

Does a GTLD extension 'count' as part of the target keyword?
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me. Reading about GTLDs, I came across this quote from TSO Host: 'What we don’t know is whether an extension can double up as a keyword, which is picked up by Google and treated identically to the rest of a domain name. I.e. - would ‘bristolguitars.music’ have more ranking potential than ‘bristolguitars.com’ as ‘music’ is a relevant search word?' Source: https://www.tsohost.com/blog/how-do-new-gtlds-affect-seo Does anyone know if a GTLD extension does double up as a keyword? For example, if Nike buys 'Nike.shoes', does this double as the keyword 'Nike shoes', or is Google and other search engines just looking at the domain name _before _the GTLD extension? I'm looking at .photography for examples (not my niche) and seeing folks are having mixed results ranking for 'Keyword + Photography', so would be keen to hear your thoughts.

Target Keywords not being picked up by Moz On-Page Grader
Thanks in advance for any help, It seems our target keyword "digital marketing agency" is not being picked up by yoast or the on-page grader as having the keyword in our home page content. Exact Keyword Used in Document Text at Least Once comes back as a zero. When we run our website through Google Webmasters fetch tool the keyword shows up fine in the content. Any ideas how we can fix this?

A keyword suddenly dropping 25 positions in Gooogle
Hello, One of my clients have a new website (just 3 months old) and for some keywords it's already working quite well (some of them already on first page for organic search results in Google). But suddenly one of the keywords (just one) dropped 25 positions from one day to another, while the rest of them are ok and even getting better. What may be happening here? The only thing I have done for this keyword different to the rest is that I have created a few internal links (just 7 o 😎 using the keyword. The site is big, with around 60 pages including a blog. I know that I'm not being very explicit with the information I'm providing... Thank you in advance for your help!

Is use of javascript to simplify information architecture considered cloaking?
We are considering using javascript to format URLs to simplify the navigation of the googlebot through our site, whilst presenting a larger number of links for the user to ensure content is accessible and easy to navigate from all parts of the site. In other words, the user will see all internal links, but the search engine will see only those links that form our information hierarchy. We are therefore showing the search engine different content to the user only in so far as the search engine will have a more hierarchical information architecture by virture of the fact that there will be fewer links visible to the search engine to ensure that our content is well structured and discoverable. Would this be considered cloaking by google and would we be penalised?
