Explore by Site Feature not working properly
-
Hello! I am searching for high-ranking keywords through Explore by Site feature. But, it doesn't show me the relevant keywords I'm looking for. Like if I search for "written communication skills" on Google and copy URL of a lower authority domain and paste it into the Explore by Site search bar, it shows the results for "example of proposals", "hardware vs software", and so, but not relevant to written communication. What should I do?
-
@Zafar435 Here are some possible solutions to your issue:
-
Check the site's content: Before using the Explore by Site feature, make sure the site you're searching has content related to "written communication skills." If the site primarily focuses on hardware and software, it's unlikely that the feature will show you relevant keywords for written communication.
-
Use more specific keywords: Try using more specific keywords related to written communication skills, such as "business writing skills," "professional communication techniques," or "technical writing skills." This will help narrow down the search results and increase the likelihood of finding relevant keywords.
-
Use Google Search Console: Google Search Console is a free tool that allows you to see how Google crawls and indexes your website. It can also provide insights into the keywords that are driving traffic to your site. By using this tool, you can identify high-ranking keywords for written communication skills and then use them in your content and Explore by Site searches.
-
Use a keyword research tool: There are many keyword research tools available, such as Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, and Ahrefs. These tools can help you identify high-ranking keywords for written communication skills and provide insights into search volume, competition, and related keywords.
-
Analyze competitor sites: Look at sites that rank higher than the one you're searching for in Google search results for "written communication skills." Analyze their content and see what keywords they're using. This can give you ideas for relevant keywords to target in your content and Explore by Site searches.
-
Use long-tail keywords: Long-tail keywords are longer, more specific phrases that are less competitive but still relevant to your topic. For example, instead of "written communication skills," try "how to improve written communication skills for business professionals." This can help you find more specific and relevant keywords through the Explore by Site feature.
-
Use Google Trends: Google Trends is a free tool that allows you to see how often a particular keyword is searched for over time. By using this tool, you can identify trends in keyword popularity and adjust your content strategy accordingly. This can also help you find related keywords that are trending and may be worth targeting in your content and Explore by Site searches.

Should ALL of my blogposts be focussed on my main target keywords for my site?
Hi everyone. I am an interior designer and I'm looking to boost my rankings locally for my target keywords (eg: Interior designer in Cheltenham) and I'm wondering about whether my blog posts should all be planned out with this (and other similar, location based) keywords in mind. For example, should I always make my target keyword for each blog post something related to 'interior design in xxx' or should I look for other keywords just related to my field? Eg: interior design tips, furniture guides, paint colour advice etc, just because it is related? As an example, I am planning a blog post to go on my website which will be about a trip I'm taking to Copenhagen. Could my keyword therefore just be something like 'interior design', and this would be okay? Thanks for reading! Lauren

Can keyword research be used across different similar sites in different countries?
I am assuming the answer to this question is no but confirmation would help. I have a site in the UK and a site in Spain both on the same topic but different copy and obviously language – therefore I am assuming it is not possible to produce keyword research on the UK site and use the results on the Spanish site?

Why will my site not rank for this keyword?
My site http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/ performs quite well for most of my keywords and gets ok traffic. But for "electric radiators" it just isn't ranking? I was thinking about redoing the landing page for it? Can anyone offer some insight as to what else I could do? Here is the current electric radiators page http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/index.php/electric-radiators-2/ Thanks, Laura

Keyword cannibalization - blog posts vs. site content
As an example, I am trying to rank for the term "ice cream". I have site content pages that relate to "chocolate ice cream", "vanilla ice cream", etc.These content pages have been SEO optimized using best practices. Would I be ruining my SEO work if I begin to publish blog posts for the same keywords that my content pages target? Am I basically forced to find alternative keywords and only target one page per keyword?

Niche vs One massive site
In the past I've done fairly well building niche sites for automotive accessories. The problem is, it's hard paying attention to 50+ sites after a while, and the quality ends up going down. Because of this, I've decided to focus on one large site for trucks and their accessories. I have a site called truckprofile.com where people can create profile pages for their various trucks. It gets fair traffic for not doing much with it. I recently threw a blog on the site: truckprofile.com/blog. This will be my area for posting articles on niche, commonly searched, easy to rank for phrases. So my questions are: Is building one massive site better? If so, how should I structure the blog area so that each article ranks well? Would it be better if they were well categorized pages in wordpress instead of blog posts? By posting all the articles on a single site, does that mean it will be harder to rank for any single thing since the topic is so broad? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Keyword analysis/optimization for blog sites (avoiding self cannibalization)
Hi there, I work on a site that has regular blog and article posts (or at least, we're shooting for regular), and I'm trying to work on a fluid approach for keyword analysis and optimization. I am wondering...is it best to research new keywords for each new post? I am unsure of what the effect is of optimizing multiple pages for the same keyword. I've been using the SEOmoz report card tool to grade my on page optimization, and I noticed one of the criteria was to avoid self cannibalization. Will I be competing against myself if I optimize multiple pages for the same keyword? I'm worried about what will happen in a month or two when I run out of common keywords and have to start optimizing our latest posts around really obscure keywords. Am I thinking about this the right way? Thanks!
