Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I would say it depends on the number of links you got on that page pointing to your 2 different pages before saying that it's "bad"... But indeed, normally you would want to use an anchor text to point on a page that is in fact related to this specific subject and suppose to have one single page build with the same main keyword.. I would personally vary the anchor text on the same page..

Ok thanks

Nice. Would you mind showing me one live article that you produced.

Ok thanks for the clarification. Those would effectively be best-on-the-web articles.

Thanks for the input EGOL. Question: How many content are you looking at to say "couple of month or more" ? I mean that's a lot of content.

I have a good feeling that a kick start with around 50 high quality 1000 words articles all well optimized, each one targeting one specific keyword and interlinked would be a good starter for the content. And forward on the link building afterward.

Thanks for this input. I going in the same path as your first phrase. Making all the page perfect for the choosing keyword. In fact, pretty much of the competition are ranking due to

• Domain Authority
• High number of links ( internal, external, etc )

Most of the description for the "product" are short and more on a "specifications" style. I think that several good article/spec pages ( like 50 to begins with ) all very well optimise would give an edge putting some "content" up.

"Find the keywords that provide the best traffic (your competitors will be using them) and focus on the best 2-3 word phrases" -> yes, I prefer since a long time now to work with 2-3 and 4 word phrase even more.

Thanks for the input again.

Thanks for your input Gordon

Hi all,

What would be ( highlights ) your strategy in order to rank and compete with a new domain against competitors that have an average of 50% domain authority and around 2000 root domain linking to them, if you would start with a completely new website/domain?

How long would you estimate the new site to be competitive?

In the retail area.

Working on it a month full time

I would go with

1. On page SEO off course, detailling each products and building the internal link structure
2. Get back links, backlinks, backlinks and... backlinks...
3. Build the social media network
4. feed a blog

Thanks for your input

Considering working on the site for a month full time, I would estimate a ranking after a month or 2 although the competitions very high. Your thoughts ?

I personally prefer to use both as the same. I will slightly change the H1 if I have a long title thought. But overall, I use the same or if not well very similar for both tags.

Thanks for your input Gordon
