Entities and SEO
-
How do you find the correct words (entities) to explain an entity ?
The words (entities) that go together within a sentence seem to be based on the specific corpus (the keyword you want to rank ) and when they are million of results it seems impossible to find what word / entity is going to explain the entity / concept I want to explain.
It seems that I got a better chance at the lottery a
Do you have any advice or software that could parse and find the words that co-occure the most often out of millions of results !!Thank you,

Good to know I am thinking along the right lines The only thing I don't understand is what you mean by "The corpus isn't the keyword though, it's the body of text which you check the keyword against".
My idea of for example is to take the word / entity "Petite France" and explain google which one I am talking about (as a human I am limited I only know of one but google has such a database that it knows many and unless I explain it, it doesn't know which one I am talking about, is that correct ?
For google Petite France (according to Wikidata is a cheese is South Africa as well as area in Strasbourg (which is the one I want to talk about) etc... My question is how do explain the Petite France in Strasbourg, is is by using the word district nearby that entity... or if the word district isn't used in the corpus by the people that rank on the keyword I am going after it won't work ?
Is that the idea ?
Thank you,

You're thinking along the right lines, especially focusing on corpus-based co-occurrences between words. The corpus isn't the keyword though, it's the body of text which you check the keyword against (and it has to be substantial to be accurate, in the Gigabyte range). I don't know of any pre-built software to assist you. You would have to develop scripting knowledge

Pagination & SEO
Hi In one of my other Q&A's someone mentioned I may need to look at pagination. For instance, are these pages counted as 'new' pages in Google's eyes when clicking on pagination? http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/plastic-storage-boxes http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/plastic-storage-boxes#productBeginIndex:30&orderBy:5&pageView:list& Does anyone have any advice on what I could do? It's not something I have had much experience with. Thank you Becky

Outbrain Select SEO Implications
A member of our marketing team wants to use Outbrain Select to curate content to augment the original content we have on our site. http://www.outbrain.com/select/how This content would be taken from other pages on the site and shown through as though it is on our site through javascipt. Obviously this page would be setup as a no-index. This seems to me like something Google would frown on. Does anyone know the SEO implications behind using a tool like this? I'm concerned google will see links to a blank page no-index page and find it suspect.

Do these results indicate a problem with my seo?
I've entered my the following search query into Google.co.uk related:mywebsite.co.uk However the resulting website that are brought back are on the whole nothing like our website, nor do they offer similar services to us. If I run this same query on my competitors websites they all bring back similar websites to each other. I read somewhere that gaining links from the websites that Google believes are similar/related to our own website is beneficial. But looking at our results it would seem that Google can't place what our site is about and which sites are similar. So I'm guessing this is a more pressing matter than link building right now!? Other info about our website: We rank fairly well for a lot of our target keywords.

Wordpress Blogs and SEO
So far we have been creating separate blogs on wordpress.com for our sites, and writing there. Today I was told that there was better SEO hosting the blog on the actual domain. i.e. www.widgets.com/blog instead of widget.wordpress.com Is this true? Oddly I have had my WP beat my own URL on one account. So I am not sure if this is valid. Can someone tell me pros and cons of both? Thanks!

Page information out of date - implications for SEO
Hi everyone, We have a page on our website which is optimised for "London to Amsterdam trains" and "Any Dutch station" (a particular fare type). It's one of the best performing pages in terms of organic SEO. However the fare is being discontinued so the information is now redundant... what should we do? It's an old blog post so it's dated but it will be frustrating for people to get to it through a search engine and then realise that it's old information. Should we create a new page and optimise it for the same keywords or will this be detrimental? Should we update the original page or add a note that links to a new page? Confused as to the best way forward... Thanks Nila

Do interstitials hurt SEO?
If you go to www.homeportfolio.com and click on one of the links in the footer. you'll notice you are presented with an interstitial. Can you tell me if that hurts our SEO and if we lose any link juice or suffer in any other way as a result of this linking method? my main concern is whether having anchor text that says "bathroom ideas" that goes to an interstitial that doesn't mention bathroom ideas is non-relevant... even if it refreshes 12 seconds to a page that is.
