How should be a perfect SEO Title, Description, H1 and H2?
-
Hello friends,
i have a very good question.
In a website of coupon codes, how should be a perfect Title, Description, H1 and H2?
For example: If our main keyword is "Promo codes Amazon" but we we want to get good results with "Coupon codes Amazon", "Discounts Amazon" and "Coupons Amazon", how should be a perfect SEO?
In some sites, people we use some tactics like month or year in title and descriptions or number of coupons and offers.
Thanks so much.

Love the mouse analogy - perfect. This is a great answer and a great example of how to answer. Agree with the substance as well. Find the morsels you're able to get quickly, feed off those & grow.

Egol has detailed a very good answer. It depends on your site strength and site attributes before you can make a firm decision.
ie if a weak site I would not start off with Discount as the first word in your title - The title has high SEO impact so I would chase keywords that are of high relevance. The title generally can only be 512 pixels before it truncates, back to 487 pixels. If a very weak site I would include a location in the title to get ranked for something, take a beach head and expand from there.
So use a serp optimizer tool and review your Title, before finalizing
So you could use as the title
Promo Codes Amazon | Coupon Codes | Name of website
Then depending on which is your landing page you may be able to make the SEO URL relevant. ie www.website.com/promotional-codes-amazon
The description has no SEO value that I am aware so this should be your CTA for a click. So that is where you have fun and can be aggressive is the tick ✓ Free Shipping ✓ Cash on Delivery ✓ 15 days Return - Jabong is using this to devastating effect at present.
Your H1 is important for SEO and again it depends on your site but it could simple be "Promotional Coupon Codes Los Angeles". H2 again should compliment your strategy so google sees all ducks lined up and has a clear picture of what your website does.
Not sure if answered your question, but hope that helps, as Egol indicates the strategy depends somewhat on the strength of your site.
For the actual perfect clickable optimized ad - we actually run scientific experiments in the form of surveys on them for clients. No other way we know it can be done. Finally use the pipe | splitting phrases in your headline as that makes generally for a more clickable ad that hyphens etc. plus uses less pixels.

Hi there
It really comes down to doing proper research based on what your users are searching for and making sure your content and on-site SEO are a reflection of those searches and finding variations of those queries/keywords.
It will take a bit of manual labor and research, but again, it will pay dividends in the long run.
Hope this helps a bit! Good luck!

Thanks so much for your answer.

It is really hard to give advice like this because "Perfect SEO Titles" and descriptions and headers depend upon what website you are going to publish them on.
If you have a big, strong, kickass website you can put very little effort into this and beat everybody around. Just slap up "Discount Coupon Codes for Amazon" and you will beat everybody for all permutations of the keywords. You will rake in almost everything.
Now if you have a new, weak, tiny site then you will have to be like a mouse in the elephant cage at the circus. He has to target one tiny little morsel of food on the floor, wait until none of the elephants are looking, dash out, grab it, run back to his hiding place, and pray that he doesn't get stepped on the entire time.
So, your title tags have to be customized to the strength of your site compared to your competitors and the query that you are targeting. Coupons is a very competitive niche so you will have to be very smart.
If you have a new, weak, tiny site, your goal should be to find queries that are used but that noone else is targeting. You gotta be a really smart and fast mouse. For that reason, researching what people might query and finding those that are unguarded is everything. And, generic advice has no value.

SEO Menu Question
I have a question regarding to the SEO benefits of different types of menus. Recently, I have noticed an increasing number of websites with the sort of menu like at www.sportsdirect.com, where there is only one main dropdown and then everything is a sub-menu of the sub-menus if that makes sense. Is this approach more, less or equal beneficial to what you see at http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ where there are multiple initial dropdown menus? Appreciate the feedback.

Seo black hat tricks
I have a competitor in the local area. He registered a new domain name. www.orangecountypatentlawfirm.com. It was created back in 11/10 and updated a few months ago on 11/13. My domain is ocpatentlawyer.com. I put my domain and his domain in the open site explorer. The peculiar thing is that my competitors website mirrors identically to my domain. (see attached image) my competitors website rose through the SERP very fast. I never saw it coming. Anyways, I wanted to know if he was using some type of black hat seo trick to hi jack my domain authority to get his own website to rank higher? Plus, if so, does it hurt my ranking? compare.png

Canonical tags and product descriptions
I just wanted to check what you guys thought of this strategy for duplicate product descriptions. A sample product is a letter bracelet - a, b, c etc so there are 26 products with identical descriptions. It is going to be extremely difficult to come up with 25 new unique descriptions so with recommendation i'm looking to use the canonical tag. I can't set any to no-index because visitors will look for explicit letters. Because the titles only differ by the letter then a search for either letter bracelet letter a bracelet letter i bracelet will just return results for 'letter bracelet' due to stop words unless the searcher explicitly searches for 'letter "a" bracelet. So I reckon I can make 4 new unique descriptions. I research what are the most popular letters picking 5 from the top (excluding 'a' and 'i'). Equally share the remaining letters between those 5 and with each group set a canonical tag pointing to the primary letter of that group. Does this seem a sensible thing to do?

Frames and SEO
In the old days frames were a problem because they could end up being orphaned pages that get indexed and appear in the SERPS but had to navigation so they were useless. Are frames still a problem with Google and if so what are the suggested solutions?

SEO Strategy for Microsite
I am working on a project to build a microsite of sorts that will represent a joint program between two large organizations with established web presences and strong domains. Each of the organizations has dedicated sections on their sites speaking to the program, but the leadership has decided the joint program deserves it's own site with dedicated content. The two larger sites perform very well for SEO, and I don't necessarily want to jeopordize thir rankings by delivering content that competes directly with them. So I am doing some keyword research to find some opportunities that will alllow me to use the new site to target keywords not yet being captialized by the larger sites. My grand scheme is to have the three sites targeting the broadest array of keywords possible, thus maximizing exposure and avoiding competition. Here is the rub: the content between the three sites will be different but very similar, and there will be plenty of cross linking, especially from the existing sites to the new site, as we grow the brand of the joint program. I'm curious to here some expert opinions on what the puitfalls of the strategy are and what are some of the things I can do to avoid falling in the black hat category - I recognize that proliferating sites around a single topic and cross linking them is black hat. The organizations simply want to build a brand around a joint program and we are striggling to do that without a dedicated website.

Are there any SEO Tips before killing a website?
Hey guys, My company acquired another company, and after a couple of months we decided to completely kill their website. I'm not finding any info about SEO best practices for this type of situation. From the "switching domains" and "new sites" articles and blog posts I can extrapolate that I should: 301 redirect their home page to ours Look at specific pages with good authority that relate to our pages and 301 them. Look at the strongest backlinks to their site and try to change them to point to our site. Create a 404 page for the rest of their webpages that tells them that we acquired the company (hopefully with a main menu and search bar) Any other suggestions?
