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.

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

Duplicate Content
Let's say a blog is publishing original content. Now let's say a second blog steals that original content via bot and publishes it as it's own. Now further assume the original blog doesn't notice this for several years. How much damage could this do to blog A for Google results? Any opinions?

Http vs. https - duplicate content
Hi I have recently come across a new issue on our site, where https & http titles are showing as duplicate. I read https://moz.com/community/q/duplicate-content-and-http-and-https however, am wondering as https is now a ranking factor, blocked this can't be a good thing? We aren't in a position to roll out https everywhere, so what would be the best thing to do next? I thought about implementing canonicals? Thank you

Ranking Suggestions
Hi There, I am currently working on this site: completesteamclean.ca to rank as high as possible for "carpet cleaning windsor" on Google.ca and I can't seem to make any head way against the other websites ranking. I've optimized the page, created social media accounts for activity, even invested in Google Adwords and Facebook ads to try to boost my presence. Does anyone have any suggestions on any tactics/revisions I can make that may help boost my site?

Duplicate content on subdomains
Hi All, The structure of the main website goes by http://abc.com/state/city/publication - We have a partnership with public libraries to give local users access to the publication content for free. We have over 100 subdomains (each for an specific library) that have duplicate content issues with the root domain, Most subdomains have very high page authority (the main public library and other local .gov websites have links to this subdomains).Currently this subdomains are not index due to the robots text file excluding bots from crawling. I am in the process of setting canonical tags on each subdomain and open the robots text file. Should I set the canonical tag on each subdomain (homepage) to the root domain version or to the specific city within the root domain? Example 1:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | NewspaperArchive
Option 1: http://covina.abc.com/ = Canonical Tag = http://abc.com/us/california/covina/
Option 2: http://covina.abc.com/ = Canonical Tag = http://abc.com/ Example 2:
Option 1: http://galveston.abc.com/ = Canonical Tag = http://abc.com/us/texas/galveston/
Option 2: http://galveston.abc.com = Canonical Tag = http://abc.com/ Example 3:
Option 1: http://hutchnews.abc.com/ = Canonical Tag = http://abc.com/us/kansas/hutchinson/
Option 2: http://hutchnews.abc.com/ = Canonical Tag = http://abc.com/ I believe it makes more sense to set the canonical tag to the corresponding city (option 1), but wondering if setting the canonical tag to the root domain will pass "some link juice" to the root domain and it will be more beneficial. Thanks!0 -
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?

Impact seomoz.org to moz.com?
HI Seomoz, Yes, this question is to you :-), but it might come in handy for the rest of us. With the revamp of your service and website, you guys also decided to change your web address to Moz.com. Myself and perhaps others here consider to do the same. Yet I fear loss in the SERP's. Did you guys experience any loss in the SERP's for your most valuable keywords? What was your plan of action?

What to do when unique content is out of the question?
SEO companies/people are always stating that unique, quality content is one of the best things for SEO... But what happens when you can't do that? I've got a movie trailer blog and of late a lot of movie agencies are now asking us to use the text description they give us along with the movie trailer. This means that some pages are going to have NO unique content. What do you do in a situation like this?

What constitutes duplicate content?
I have a website that lists various events. There is one particular event at a local swimming pool that occurs every few months -- for example, once in December 2011 and again in March 2012. It will probably happen again sometime in the future too. Each event has its own 'event' page, which includes a description of the event and other details. In the example above the only thing that changes is the date of the event, which is in an H2 tag. I'm getting this as an error in SEO Moz Pro as duplicate content. I could combine these pages, since the vast majority of the content is duplicate, but this will be a lot of work. Any suggestions on a strategy for handling this problem?
