Unsolved how to deal with bad keywords?
-
In the rush to get our account set up and running our team added about 250+ keywords. Many are really close duplicates or a close rephrasing of the same idea. I'd say almost 100 of them fit into this category. Does it make sense to just leave these and continue to add better keywords or should we do some purging? Help!

In my experience with my blog, Google takes duplicate internal content when there is similarity in the urls.
The bad thing is that in this case what google does is index some pages and not index the others.
It would be better a good debugging and assess what are the URLs or keywords that are positioning your site and one option is to perform a 301 redirection.

Unsolved Can I get Moz keywords via API?
Hi, my boss is asking if you "have any API for keyword research -- e.g., as soon as a user creates a card title in [our application], we can auto-recommend keywords from Moz within [the application]. I shared a link with him to your Links API page, but he says he doesn't think that API does the above. Can you help? Thank you, Renae

Unsolved Mistake on keyword stuffing detection(in my view)
Hello!
Moz Bar | | Seoman45
In Mozbar, optimization factors
"Avoid Keyword Stuffing in Document"
If a blog (or any other page) publishes an article, and that article attracts a considerable number of questions, it is inevitable to prevent repeating the keyword on that page. In other words, using keywords by users in comments should not be considered as "Keyword Stuffing". In my view, if this is true, you need to optimize the detection of "Keyword Stuffing".
By the way, thanks for the valuable service and tools for SEO.
Best regards,

Silo Structure Question
Hi guys I'm trying to implement silos on a new website. I'm confused. SEO experts say you should first research all your keyphrases (done that) and then only create 1 page per keyphrase. I can see this makes sense if you did e.g. Italian Cooking - then did sub posts like Norther Italian Cooking, Vegetarian Italian Cooking etc - because those sub posts also contain the main keyphrase 'Italian Cooking'. Where I get confused, is they then have pages e.g. Pasta Dough. I can't quite see the benefit of having a sub post that is essentially about something (semantically) unrelated to the main page keyphrase we are trying to optimize on. I could understand doing a post e.g. 'Pasta Dough in Italian Cooking'. That page would be related and I can then see how the links from that page would have relevance for Google. But just Pasta Dough? In 1 siloing example I saw a main topic of Websites. Under that they had things like Website Design, Website Building, which make sense. Then they have 'Online Shop' as a sub-post. It's only related if you know it's related. Am I missing the point here? Is the point NOT to necessarily create pages related to the exact keyphrase, but instead create pages with a view to creating relevant links on those subpages to the main page? I hope someone understands the confusion here. I think my head is still stuck in mininets from 20 years ago 🙂 Any help would be very appreciated, many thanks.
