Items listed based on size - Use "inches" or " " "
-
I sell Decorative nutcrackers of various sizes. At this time, I use the term "inches". I was looking at my competitor the other day, and when I did a search on his site, using the term inches did not provide me with a result. I was forced to use ex. "10" nutcracker" instead of "10 inch nutcracker". Is there a preferable usage for seo purposes.
Thanks!

I would most definitely write it out as inch & inches and even in. when necessary.
A simple Google search for intitle:48" will show you that Google ignores the inch mark on this search.
Another search of intitle:" shows no results.
Any search I can find using "inches" does not return a result with " in the title.A simple search for most keywords with synonyms or alternate versions shows the synonym or alt version in at least some pages. Inches does not.
(Dinner shows dinner, dining & diner. Autos shows results for cars. Inches does not show " and a search for 10" shows results for 10, not "10 inches")
So yes, I would use the full words in this case.

It really is your SEO strategy in what methodology to adopt ie what do your customers search for with ie inches or ". If you are unfamiliar with your searchers intent there are some great keyword tools you can use. I am favorable to semrush.com but there are many out there.
That said because it is such a niche field and every click matters I would try and rank for both.
All the best.

3. Title: 1 Time

Feedback on Content Ideation / "Skyscraper" Spreadsheet Template
Hi All - I've been getting a ton of use out of the MOZ API for discovering the popularity of content - which I'm using for content ideation or to implement the Skyscraper concept. I built a spreadsheet template that combines MOZ with some other APIs to apply this to new topics of my choosing, and my friends encouraged me to clean it up a bit and share with the broader community. So, here it is - fire away! I'd love any and all feedback about the spreadsheet - it's a prototype still so it could stand to pull back more results. For example: would you want to include Domain Authority in the results? Focus more or less on the social sharing elements - or let you choose the thresholds? Would love to know if there other methodologies for which you'd be interested in seeing spreadsheet templates produced. Cheers! skyscraper-template.png

How do YOU use site explorer?
I normally use open site explorer to identify links that competitors of my clients have and sometimes this gives me what I call 'some low hanging fruit' to go after. (and of course links that are more challenging to get) I don't know why this didn't occur to me sooner. If my client is a chiropractor why not look at the links for 50 or 100 of the top rankings chiropractic sites all over the US? This would HAVE to uncover a wealth of blogs to comment on that have good authority, great industry associations, publications, forums - a whole wealth of items. It made me wonder how many people use site explorer like I have been (top 3-4 competitors that your client has) or identifying links pointing to LOTS of competitors? How do you use it? Couldn't you almost base an entire link building campaign using OSE? Why would this be a bad idea if not? Just some random thoughts. THE WEEKEND IS ALMOST HERE - Have a great day everybody! 🙂

"Too many on page links" phantom penalty? What about big sites?
So I am consistently over the recommended "100 links" rule on our site's pages because of our extensive navigation and plentiful footer links (somewhere around 300 links per page). I know that there is no official penalty for this but rather that it affects the "link juice" of each link on there. I guess my question is more about how places like Zappos and Amazon get away with this? They have WAY over 100 links per page... in fact I think that Zappos footer is 100+ links alone. This overage doesn't seem to affect their domain rankings and authority so why does SEO moz place so much emphasis on this error?

Duplicate content due to "Email a Friend" and "PhotoGallery"
Crawl Diagnostics gives me 1650 duplicate page content errors. 800+ are for photo gallery, the link upon which my large image is shown. 800+ are for the Email a Friend form page. Presumably SEOMoz's tool is getting there by following the link inside a product page, which as you can see will differ only by the ProductCode of every product.

www.completemobilehomesupply.com/EmailaFriend.asp?ProductCode=Shutter001 1 - Is it critical to fix?
I am assuming Yes, but if for some reason the answer is No, please share. 2 - Any idea on how to fix?
The site uses Volusion, fyi, so it may be a limiting factor of the platform. Thank you for your time.
Also if this topic has been previously covered, please link and I'll read there instead.0 -
Best way to use OSE Advanced Reports (Repost after Q&A issues)
