Keyword explorer
-
Hello,
I was trying the keyword explore and got some questions :
I first used it with all the search terms for the keyword "italy bike tours" and came across terms like this one
"tuscany bike tours florence italy"
- Does it mean I have to include this exact expression in my content or do I just need to include somewhere in my content the words tuscany and florence ?
Then I did the same search but this time with closely related keywords and the keyword explorer give me the word
"pasticceria" or "tirrenia" are being closely related to the keyword italy bike ...
- How does the keyword explorer find those words because I don't see how those can be related...
If someone could explain that would be awesome.
Thank you,

Hello,
Just a disclaimer - I don't speak italian, but do understand some parts.
For the question about non-related kwds...the kw explorer finds these through some algorythms between what people search before/after they search those keywords and what content pages that rank for those keywords have.
For the other question, you need to run a good analysis and create a list with your kwds. Then, make sure to carefully skim through it, assign your own priorities for each kw judging by how important they are for your business (ex if you sell bikes the kw "italy bike tour" or "italy bike rental" might not be important for you at all, but might still be suggested by moz). After doing this, you need to order your kwds by overall priority rating. This will make an average between how hard it is to rank for it, the volume of search that kw has, and your priority rating.
For the very top kwds you absolutely want to include the exact kw string at least once in your content (this can be as an alt tag on an image). For the top 2-3 results you'll want to include those exactly in h1's , titles, meta titles, meta descriptions.
For the rest of the kwds, things like including the work "tuscany" will help, but it won't give you a 90+ rating of "keyword optimisation" on that page. Of course you won't be able to be at 90+ for all kwds, but it's ideal to be there for the most important 5-7 kwds you want to rank for (at first at least).
After you create your campaign you'll be able to check how optimized your page is for each kw.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Page URL keywords
Hello everybody, I've read that it's important to put your keywords at the front of your page title, meta tag etc, but my question is about the page url. Say my target keywords are exotic, soap, natural, and organic. Will placing the keywords further behind the URL address affect the SEO ranking? If that's the case what's the first n number of words Google considers? For example, www.splendidshop.com/gift-set-organic-soap vs www.splendidshop.com/organic-soap-gift-set Will the first be any less effective than the second one simply because the keywords are placed behind?

Keyphrase / Keyword arrangement
Hi all, What are your thoughts on the arrangement of keyphrases / words? For example, does it make a difference if the words are arranged in the following way: "Keyword 1 Keyword 2" or "Keyword 2 Keyword 1" Both ways make a phrases which is favourable in the search engines. Can I stick with 1 way or should I be going with both arrangements. Hope that is clear 🙂

On page report card for the keyword "computers"
I was looking at which websites ranks in the TOP 3 for the keyword "computers"... I noticed that first is wikipedia and then there are Dell and Apple... I then did an on page report card and I noticed that wikipedia has a grade A (which is great ) However, Apple has an F ( which sucks !! ) but there still rank out there. My question is why is Apple ranking for the keyword computers with no tiitle, no URL, no H1, no body, no B/Strong... when wikipedia has all of that and the term " computers " occurs 290 times on its page... Is is due to the fact that apple has millions of external links and is that enough to rank even with an " irrelevant " page ? By the way I have noticed that on other keywords such as " bicycle ". Wikipedia is ranking 1 st and then sites like www.trekbikes.com are out there but they shouldn't based on their homepage "optimization ". I know there are other factors but I am just trying to figure why such sites ( like apple or trek bikes ) rank out there. Thank you,

Using exact keyword domains for local SEO
The website is for the attorney that serves several nearby cities. The main page is optimized for the biggest central city. I have several options how to go after the smaller surrounding cities: 1. Create optimized pages inside the main domain 2. Get more or less exact keyword domains for each city e.g. for the city ABC get yourABClawyer.com and then a) use 1 page websites that use the same template as main website and link all the menu items to the main website b)use 1 page website with a link "for more information go to our main website" c) point exact keyword domains to the optimized pages within the main domain. Which option would be the best in terms of SEO and user experience? Would people freak out if they click on the menu item and go to a different domain website even though it uses the same template (option 2a) Would I get more bounces with option 2b in your opinion? Would option 2c have any positive SEO effect? Should I not even bother with exact keyword domain and go with option 1?
