Keyword phrase for entire site
-
Hey everyone!
I'm fairly new to SEO but I have a large number of sites I'm needing to SEO. I'm a tad confused as to how many keyword phrases I should use throughout my site. For example, my site is www.uluru.travel. I want to rank highlight for the phrase 'uluru tours' throughout the site, as many of my pages list uluru tours and people searching for this phrase are my type of customers. As you can see I've tried to do some basic on page SEO for that phrase by including it in page title, headings etc. But the entire site doesn't seem to rank very well.
Would you guys suggest trying to target 'uluru tours' phrase throughout the entire site of just focus a couple of pages on this term?
Any advice is greatly appreciated guys!
Cheers

Hi Lehia!
Something I recommend all the time is to read through Cyrus Shepard's "Keywords to Concepts," which covers topical keyword research. It might help you to understand how best to think about your keyword targeting.

Hey Moosa, thanks for your advice! I will get onto creating unique tags for each page as mentioned.

Hey Alick,
Thanks for your tips. I didn't realise this would be a problem...how wrong I was! I have a page called '3 Day Uluru Tours'...would it be a problem to call it this considering it includes the keyword phrase 'uluru tours', or does adding '3 day' to the front create a long tail that will be unique enough?

As far as my understanding goes about SEO the way you are targeting the keywords on your pages is not the correct approach. My advice is to list down all the keywords head and long tail keywords and then map the keywords on different part of the website accordingly.
I usually target one to two keywords per page and then set the page content accordingly. Once done you will have a clear idea if what pages to target against which page when building quality links back to your website.
It is best to hire a SEO Consultant that can help you with these issues and help you get better visibility in search engine form the keywords that you ideally want to target. If you go with this approach you might not be able to outrank your competitors.
Hope this helps!

Hi Lehia,
I have checked your website and I found that you are doing on page terribly wrong, you cannot use same meta title/same keyword on two different URL.
Home page meta title and Uluru tours (http://www.uluru.travel/uluru-tours/) have almost same meta title.
You should target 'Uluru tours' for one URL only so it is better to target for URL - http://www.uluru.travel/uluru-tours/
First I would like to advice you to first go through SEO basic so you can understand things very well then you can implement on your website .
Here is one of the best SEO tutorial for beginners @ https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
Hope this helps.
Thanks

How to answer questions when there no questions for my keyword
Hello, Let's say I want to rank on "Alsace bike tour" whatever tool I use Moz keyword explorer, google suggest , keyword.io, answer the public ... there are not questions... so... what do I need to answer ? I imagine that for google there are some questions more relevant than others ? Should I answer do I need to bring my own bike or where will I go... ? and will google give me "points " for answering those questions even though people don't have questions... For the keyword title tag, it is easy, people ask the character limit, title tag generator and so on but for may keywords like that ones I am targeting people have NO Questions ! Thank you,

SEO and former site
Hi, my client had a site built and hosted with Avvo but we now shut it down and are using a new server. My concern is that Avvo's internal link structure is causing SEO issues. For example, his site will list for "San Diego Criminal Defense Attorney", but is then removed for no reason. Far worse, while he had the AVVO site, it would never rank at all on Google. He's got great content, and no spammy links. This is the site: www.thesandiegocriminallawyer.com. Any thoughts of what I could do to disavow the AVVO pages that Google still has indexed? Does it matter? Or, is it simply a function of time? Thank you for your help.

Keyword Research: How best to target keywords without using a region as part of the search query.
When doing keyword research and trying to rank for a keyword. I am wondering if we need to localize the query by adding a city to it. For example Phoenix Web Design vs. just targeting web design since Google is localizing search results now. Then when creating content and optimizing the site do we just put the keyword in the title and page content or do we also add the region/city to the keyword phrase? Any insight would be appreciated.

Site speed tests
In webmaster tools my site is showing that it is taking longer and longer to load, and it has now doubled. Is there a way to check which pages are the problem? The site is quite large so I can't check them one at a time.

Can I Refine My Keyword List to Highlight Top (15) Keywords?
My client is wondering if I could provide him with a list of his site's 15 Top performing SEO keywords. However, based on the layout of everything I've used here on SEOMoz, I don't believe that's possible. Or, am i incorrect? Can you indeed come up with a list of Top (XX) SEO keywords for a given time period, for a campaign/website? Thanks ahead of time.

Hi Friends, We have a keyword "plus size clothing" but we used this as "plus size clothing 2012" to Cover the both keywords "Plus size clothing" and "Plus size clothing 2012" My question is, are we still focusing on "plus size clothing" when use "plus size clothing 2012" instead of the main keyword.? What strategy do yo suggest that when to use long tail and when to not. (when I talk to use a long tail than it means use it prominently on the page as main keyword should be used.)

How to see which site Google views as a scraper site?
If we have content on our site that is found on another site, what is the best way to know which site Google views as the original source? If you search for a line of the content such as "xyz abc etc" and the other site shows before yours in search results, does that mean that Google views that site as the original source?
