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.

Site has multiple services, how to target multiple keywords and what to to about citations
Hi i managing a site that has 3 main services its a hotel, a restaurant and a brewery. It has the word brewery in the name and URL and has for years primarily pushed the brewery side and that is doing well its has a good DA and lots of links point back to its home page. Now the problem is it doesn't rank very well for the term hotel or restaurant, theres only 2 referring domains links pointing to its hotel page. All its hotel citations point to the homepage (which is mainly optimised for the keyword brewery) should i update the citations to point to the hotel page which has been optimised for the search term hotel? or should I leave those and just create new citation pointing to the hotel page. Should i right a few blog posts about the businesses hotel and link them to the hotels page? and then I also then do the same for restaurant? I hope i've explained myself well and would appreciate the advice

How do you check keyword rankings for your sites?
The other day I used Rank Tracker form SEO PowerSuite and SEO small tools ranking checker http://smallseotools.com/keyword-position/ to check a keyword ranking. Both said that my clients keyword is not in top 50, but when I used Rank Tracker from Moz.com it showed that my client's keyword ranks #30 ! What's the tool that works for you all the time and is 100% reliable?

How to work my keywords - should I use exact, broad and phrase match in the same adgroup?
I'm looking at my adwords, and am looking to strengthen them, improve quality score by making the wording more appropriate, and ensuring they link to a more relevant page rather than just my home page. In an AdGroup should I be using all three (broad, exact and phrase) or does this just confuse Google. What are the advantages/disadvantages? When I was doing the keyword research, for some of my phrases, there was little difference in price (sometimes as low as a 3p difference) between a broad match (with large potential numbers) and an exact match (with a tiny target group) so it would seem best that I target the broad match - make sense?

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.

Using Google key word tool to reseach key words for a site
I have using Google’s key word tool to generate potential Keywords for our site. I have been focusing mainly on the information in “Local Monthly” searches (with the country being set to “New Zealand” as we are not looking to sell internationally. With regards to selecting the Key words for our site is it a matter of simply focusing on the ones that rank highest or are there other variables, in the key word tool I need to allow for. Note at this stage we are not looking to under take a PPC campaign. Thanks for you help Pete

Is there really "keyword strategy" for sites with User Generated content? Any experiences?
I am starting website focused on consumer complaints/reviews with purely User Generated content. Is there really "keyword strategy" for such sites? I can only think of analyzing competition's keywords and understanding long tail http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-big-is-your-long-tail-whiteboard-friday. Any experiences? Or ideas?

Does google exact match domain name bonus work if the keywords are reversed?
For example, we all know that there is a ranking boost to having a domain name: http://bluewidgets.com when someone searches for "blue widgets". But would the domain name http://widgetsblue.com also get a bonus in the serp for "blue widgets" ?
