Recommendation of second target keyword
-
Hi there,
Our company is selling airline tickets and more products within the travelling market like car rental, hotels and holidays. Now we are busy to improve our google ranking because the market of airplaine tickets is hard with many competitors. At this moment we are optimizing our offer pages.
Our Strategy:
2 Keyword focus on that specific page
1. Vliegtickets + Destination
2. Vliegticket, ticket or tickets + DestinationBoth keywords will be in the title tag. Example: vliegtickets + destination - brandname - vliegticket, ticket or tickets + destination
h1 = Vliegtickets + Destination
h2 = Vliegticket, ticket or tickets + DestinationNow we know that there is a big search volume on the keywords "goedkope vliegtickets" and we do not focus on these words on the offer pages of a destination. Goedkope vliegtickets could be translate like cheap airplane tickets. At the homepage of our offers we are focussing on goedkope vliegtickets, is it wise to continue doing that at the other pages also, instead of vliegticket, ticket, tickets + destination.
Will goedkope vliegtickets + destination make the keyword combination vliegtickets + destination more strong and could it improve our google ranking? Or should we keep it like we do now, because vliegticket, ticket or tickets + destination is familiar to vliegtickets + destination?
Hope to hear your opinion so we could decide what to do with our onpage strategy. Next thing to do than is linkbuilding. Thank you in advance.

I'm not an SEO Guru just a junior on his way so think twice my advice before accepting it, it's just an opinion
From my point of view I'd choose a smaller submarket of the big one you're talking about. Travelling, tourism have big market with strong competition. I'd go for long-tail keywords on subpages, optimize them for those keywords. On a long-term I still wouldn't go for the whole market if the competition is too strong with strong SEO. I'd choose smaller submarkets which can be defined around keyword groups and just one keyword. In the title use the most searched term and the content should contain more keywords, preferably long-tail ones. I think from a marketing perspective: it's much better to occupy a smaller market then become the 100th on a bigger one, because not your product or service but your position in your niche will define your business strategies, goals and success.
Destiny - this is the best idea in your question! I'm sure it's a good idea and it works!
Keyword Density - is the opposite do not overuse keywords and their plural forms, it's a bad practice. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/perfecting-keyword-targeting-on-page-optimization
Hope this helped!

How we can rank two keywords
Here is my example. I developed a property inspection app, where the keyword I try to rank is property inspection app, and property inspection software. Property Inspection Software got slightly more traffic than app. I would like to rank both of this keyword high for my main website, but there is only one title, one H1 tag I can use to have keyword, where if I use "App" there is no way to have "Software" on the title, etc. How can I deal with such a case? Any help will be appreciate.

Keywords in site maps. Can there be too many? Can they be considered to be stuffed?
Hi everyone,
On-Page Optimization | | TheJewelleryEd
I'd appreciate some insight on a keyword stuffed site map I've seen on a site similar to ours (we don't have this kind of menu ourselves).
https://www.1stdibs.com/sitemap/jewelry/stone/pink-diamond/
This is accessed from a site map. Do you think it's too blatant / keyword stuffed? I haven't done this with our site, but am interested to see a big reputable site doing something so clearly just for SEO.
Would it work? Or would search engines dislike it? I'd really appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you.0 -
Using a keyword on homepage of a blog
I have a blog and the homepage has the 5 most recent posts. I ran a report card on my homepage for my main keyword. One of the problems is that the keyword only appears 1 time. I don't want to put it in the signature of every post because I found that causing problems with self-cannibalizing. I checked my competitor and they got a check mark for this but I looked at their homepage and I found the keyword NOWHERE! So where is my competitor hiding the keywords and how can I get the keywords on the homepage when the content is constantly changing? Thanks in advance!

Targeting Cities in Different States on a Landing Page
I'm having one issue with my SEO rankings. If I target let's say four cities in the same state for one keyword in a title, it ranks well. let's say one of those cities ends up being outside of the state though for another landing page, then it usually ends up on page two. Does anyone have a solution to this issue? Thanks!
