Keyword reserch 'blends' to much. How to decide on focused landing pages?
-
Hi guys.
I work for stationery company. We make personalised diary products, but recently we've expanded into binding services/ printing services.
I've been doing some keyword research around these new services we offer, but i'm struggling to 'separate them out' into focused areas that we can then apply to our landing pages.
In the images i've attached you can see how the keywords naturally fall into groups (and were generally in different groups in Ad words) but they also overlap somewhat. E.g) There's a 'Book binding service' group as well as 'print and binding' group...they're different but overlap. Another example would be 'Book binding' groups and 'leather book binding' group....so on and so forth.
So... do you think there should there be a landing page for each group (and therefore having some keyword cannibalisation), or should I try be more broad trying to capture the searches within 1 or 2 landing pages?
Make sense?
Sorry I know it's kinda open ended question... but i'm struggling with this one
Hope you can help.
Isaac.

Yeah good call, thanks.
The link to the 'Keywords to concepts' content was really useful.

This is a pretty general answer, but just try to think of what would be the most helpful to your customers, in the absence of the search engines. Does "leather book binding" need it's own page to best communicate to your customers? Is that the most natural term, the one you'd use if you were talking about book binding with leather? Then go for it.
If "book binding service" is different enough from "print and binding" to warrant different content, then go ahead and give them each their own page. If not, then don't worry about it. The search engines are advanced enough to pick up on intent and synonyms to a reasonable degree.
I recommend it all the time—like, I think I recommended it to someone less than 5 minutes ago—but I love Cyrus Shepard's "Keywords to Concepts" for how well it explains the concept of topical keyword research. If you haven't read it, it may clear some things up for you.

Keyword Density and ALL CAPS
Hello everyone, New member and first time asking a question! Having a disagreement about keyword stuffing on a home page. The client has 14 mentions of their brand all IN CAPS. So it's sentences like ... BRAND was established in 1968 and has become one of the biggest leaders in the donut industry. In fact, BRAND has created a strong BRAND community ... etc. [the lead paragraph is three sentences and four mentions of BRAND] A design agency that is also in the picture says that this is fine because the word appears naturally in the sentence. Can you either 1) tell me I'm wrong and explain why or 2) give me some ammo to give to my client to support my argument. Thanks! Lisa

Is my copy too keyword rich?
www.heartwavemedia.com - Wordpress - All in One SEO Competitors: photonsf.com, h2video.com, corduroymedia.com, thehivestudios.org I've spent the last week writing and tweaking my landing page copy along with my SEO page titles and descriptions. I think I finally feel pretty good about it but I'd like your professional opinions. Is it too keyword rich? Does it flow naturally? Is the voice fresh? Do my SEO titles vary enough? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice.

Keyword competitiveness/research
I'm familiar with ranking factors and can get a pretty good idea of whether going for a keyword is realistic by looking at the seomoz keyword difficulty tool. As well as the % score it has a lot of useful information. There was an seomoz article a while ago that detailed how 100 or so experts determine a keyword's competitiveness. Does anybody have the link? Or just as good, any useful guides to interpreting the data to gauge how possible it is to compete? Thanks

Keyword Search
Keyword search How low is too low for choosing to use a key phrase for one of your articles, website pages, etc. I see some with 100 local and global searches. Is this too low to really be spending the time working on this key phrase?
