Content suggestions from MOZ
-
Hello,
I checked moz content suggestions and for one of my keywords “Burgundy bike tours”. It gives me expressions such as “Burgundy France” and “Burgundy wine”.
My question is whether I should include the exact expression “Burgundy wine” in a sentence or if include burgundy somewhere in my text and wine somewhere else if it is fine ?
PS : What is the real difference between marketmuse and moz ? and why do they sometimes give different suggestions ?

you are welcome. if you like you can mark the question as answered if you liked my answers.
cheers

Hi,
I sometimes use the Keyword Planner as inspiration for new keywords, most of the times its of no use, some times it is.
You can also have the Keyword Planner looking up a particular website and give you suggestions. Did you know?
Usually its best to have them together in the title/headers/text not split up. But if your competition doesn't have the exact match, split in the text would suffice as well i guess. But I am pretty sure that for the relevant, most important keyword combinations in your field this wouldn't be the case. Short answer: not separated.
Cheers,
Cesare

Thank you for the suggestions. I have used related searches and the keyword planner my self and I have noticed it work but not for every keyword.
Usually what I do I remove all the expressions with my keyword in it and usually find other expression to include...
By the way when you give the examples of "burgundy by bike" or "bicycle touring in Burgundy".
Does the expression need to be the way you write it and can the words be separated through the text ?
Thank you

If your site is about bike tours in burgundy please don't add wine keywords to your homepage! I assume you just offer bike tours there, not wine tours as well or some combination. Wine has nothing to do with bike tours at all, thats absolutely not relevant there. To add that to your site would confuse Google.
These are suggestions made by a software only. It takes the closest guess that comes with burgundy in France and thats obviously the wine. In my experience these kind of automated suggestions are almost never useful.
To do a proper keyword research I would do the following:
- brainstorming keywords
- look at Google suggest (when you type in a keyword Google in the search box it gives you possible choices underneath)
- Google related searches on the bottom of the search results
- look at the keywords your (better ranked) competition uses
- If you like have (quick) a look at Moz or Adwords Keyword Planer (very useful for traffic data) to see if there is any intelligent suggestion there
Keywords like 'bicycle touring in burgundy' or 'burgundy by bike' are in my opinion better guesses to complement your keyword list.
I don't know about marketmuse, try the Google Adwords Keyword Planer once, its one of the most used tools in this domain, it will give you most likely different suggestions. Differences come from the implementation of the tools, priorities, databases they have available and use for that purpose.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Cesare

Quotery.com Suggestions?
Hello, I'm hoping to find some advice on how to proceed with a site I started last year — Quotery. I've spent a ton of time and money on it, tried my best to build value to what is typically a copycat niche, and adhered to Google's SEO recommendations (I believe, anyway). Yet, subpar sites rank well above mine. Now I'm wondering if I should find a buyer for the site and cut my losses. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the next steps might be in order to rank higher? Here is what we've tried/accomplished so far: We were mentioned on Netted. We built a well-designed and easy to navigate site that works on all devices. We've added topic descriptions and images, unique author descriptions and pictures, and exclusive picture quotes. We built a well-designed and useful WordPress plugin, and kept the backlinks nofollow (note: our main competitor also has a subpar WordPress plugin with dofollow backlinks, yet they don't get penalized for it). We've published curated blog posts, along with infographics that have been shared millions of time #1, #2, #3. We've built up significant social media profiles on Facebook, Twitter, and elsewhere. We even tried hiring 97thFloor (highly recommended on Moz) for 4 months, although most of their efforts seemed spammy and/or very basic to me (and cost a fortune), so we decided to take SEO into our own hands afterwards. We've added sources, pictures, and relevant information for thousands of quotes (e.g. example seen here). We started working on user profiles, and had plans for much more down the road. However, despite these efforts, sites like BrainyQuote dominate Google's rankings. So is it truly value that will earn you rankings... or is it still all about gaming the system? Of course, any suggestions in my case specifically would be much appreciated.

Duplicate Content Issues :(
I am wondering how we can solve our duplicate content issues. Here is the thing: There are so many ways you can write a description about a used watch. http://beckertime.com/product/mens-rolex-air-king-no-date-stainless-steel-watch-wsilver-dial-5500/ http://beckertime.com/product/mens-rolex-air-king-stainless-steel-date-watch-wblue-dial-5500/ Whats different between these two? The dial color. We have a lot of the same model numbers but with different conditions, dial colors, and bands.. What ideas do you have?

Content Above The Fold (strategies)
Does anyone know if using a wide responsive layout that brings content well above the fold on big screens (but still pushes it down on small screens or mobile devices) is a good option? We have an adsense site that just got destroyed and I'm assuming its this new Google algo that's looking at sites with too big of ads above the fold.

Is legacy duplicate content an issue?
I am looking for some proof, or at least evidence to whether or not sites are being hurt by duplicate content. The situation is, that there were 4 content rich newspaper/magazine style sites that were basically just reskins of each other. [ a tactic used under a previous regime 😉 ] The least busy of the sites has since been discontinued & 301d to one of the others, but the traffic was so low on the discontinued site as to be lost in noise, so it is unclear if that was any benefit. Now for the last ~2 years all the sites have had unique content going up, but there are still the archives of articles that are on all 3 remaining sites, now I would like to know whether to redirect, remove or rewrite the content, but it is a big decision - the number of duplicate articles? 263,114 ! Is there a chance this is hurting one or more of the sites? Is there anyway to prove it, short of actually doing the work?

301 redirect for duplicate content
Hey, I have just started working on a site which is a video based city guide, with promotional videos for restaurants, bars, activities,etc. The first thing that I have noticed is that every video on the site has two possible urls:- http://www.domain.com/venue.php?url=rosemarino
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | AdeLewis
http://www.domain.com/venue/rosemarino I know that I can write a .htaccess line to redirect one to the other:- redirect 301 /venue.php?url=rosemarino http://www.domain.com/venue/rosemarino but this would involve creating a .htaccess line for every video on the site and new videos that get added may get missed. Does anyone know a way of creating a rule to rewrite these urls? Any help would be most gratefully received. Thanks. Ade.0 -
Should I do something about this duplicate content? If so, what?
On our real estate site we have our office listings displayed. The listings are generated from a scraping script that I wrote. As such, all of our listings have the exact same description snippet as every other agent in our office. The rest of the page consists of site-wide sidebars and a contact form. The title of the page is the address of the house and so is the H1 tag. Manually changing the descriptions is not an option. Do you think it would help to have some randomly generated stuff on the page such as "similar listings"? Any other ideas? Thanks!
