Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the replies, but it never got past 2 pages crawled. I have no idea why this is. I got a message saying it may have something to do with user-agent discrimination, but I googled that and there's actually no one talking about it on the internet.

Google isn't indexing my site either.   It's not a robots.txt problem, I've had that looked at.  The only thing that has changed is that I upgraded the site from cscart v3 to v4. Not sure how that could change anything.

In my campaign results, only 2 pages have been crawled, when there are many more.  Also, when I do the on-page evaluation for my homepage and the main keyword, I get a grade of F, with a ton of errors that my page actually does not have.  It's as if SEO moz is having trouble crawling through my site.

Any ideas on this?

Jesse,

Thank you for your response.  I hope you don't mind if I ask you a couple more questions.

Lets use the "Framing your Fake Diploma" example.

So I need to change my titles and for this example "How to Frame your Masterpiece" sounds perfect. But I should still use "Framing your Fake Diploma" in the meta description correct?

As far as internal linking goes, when I am writing new content and it is either appropriate or necessary to link to this article I should use "Framing your Fake Diploma" as my anchor text since I want this page to rank for "Framing your Fake Diploma" correct?

I am pretty much a rookie when it comes to the SEO game and to be completely honest SEO is really confusing. I just recently started using MOZ and I was looking at my On-Page report and I saw that I needed to correct some “Avoid Keyword Self-Cannibalization” errors. So I looked at the error and the fix. Here is what MOZ gave me.

Cannibalizing link

"How to make a fake diploma", "How to get a fake diploma", "Making a Fake High School Diploma", "Fake Diploma Template", and "Framing your fake diploma"

Explanation

It's a best practice in SEO to target each keyword with a single page on your site (sometimes two if you've already achieved high rankings and are seeking a second, indented listing). To prevent engines from potentially seeing a signal that this page is not the intended ranking target and creating additional competition for your page, we suggest staying away from linking internally to another page with the target keyword(s) as the exact anchor text. Note that using modified versions is sometimes fine (for example, if this page targeted the word 'elephants', using 'baby elephants' in anchor text would be just fine).

Recommendation

Unless there is intent to rank multiple pages for the target keyword, it may be wise to modify the anchor text of this link so it is not an exact match.

This error is for my Hompage(http://www.fake-diploma.com) for the keyword Fake Diploma. My understanding is that for Self-Cannibalization to occur I would have to have a link on this page pointing to another page using "Fake Diploma" as my anchor text since I want this page to rank for Fake Diploma. I do have the right hand sidebar which contains my most recent posts and some of my titles do include Fake Diploma.

How to make a Fake Diploma
                Fake Diploma Template
                Framing your Fake Diploma
To me theses are separate longtail keywords. While they do include Fake Diploma in them I thought theses were fine because they are not an Exact Match to each other nor are they an Exact Match to “Fake Diploma”. Am I wrong about this?

Secondly I reached out on another Forum trying to get a better understanding of this and just got even more confused. I was told that I am also Keyword Stuffing and could be penalized. They said because I have Fake Diploma in most of my article titles that I am Stuffing Fake Diploma. I am in a Niche Market and of course most of my titles include Fake Diploma because that is what my entire site is about. I used the Google Keyword Tool and searched Fake Diploma and it gave me a list of about 79 related keywords like:

Make a Fake Diploma Online
Create a Fake Diploma
Fake Diploma Software

This is just a few of the many that I have. I thought the best way to rank for a keyword was to actually write a post about that Keyword and use it as the title of the article.  I am not over using the Keyword in the actual article and I maybe have a Keyword density of about 2-5%.  I thought Keyword Stuffing was where you actually used the Keyword like 50 times and also just added random Keywords to the article that did not belong.

Please help me with any insights you can offer.  I feel like I am doing all of this completely wrong.

Hey thanks for the great article.  I am definitely going to have to check a few of them out as I have only been using the Google Keyword tool. Maybe I am confused again.

So Fake Diploma is my main keyword. But I also want to rank for some longtail keywords like " Fake College Diploma", "Fake Diploma Generator", "How to make a Fake Diploma" just to name a few.  I thought the best way to rank for the longtail keywords was to actually write a post about that keyword and use it in the title as well. But if I am understanding you correctly by doing this it could be considered as keyword stuffing. So how and I supposed to try to rank for the longtails.

Again thank you for your patience and answering my questions.

Federico thank you for your response.  I am a Rookie when it comes to SEO and I am trying my best with the information I have been able to track down.  I didn't realize that could be considered Keyword Stuffing. I used the Google Keyword Tool and searched Fake Diploma and it gave me 79 related keywords and they all included the phrase Fake Diploma.  I figured since Google saw them as separate Keywords I was safe.  Unfortunately there are not to many other words to describe a Fake Diploma.  Can you offer up any other options or suggestions? Or maybe point me in the right direction.

This has been addressed plenty of times but I cannot find an example that addresses my issue so that is why I am posting this. I am getting the following Self-Cannibalization error for my Homepage and I am trying to fix it but I just don't see it or maybe I do not understand this correctly.

http://fake-diploma.com    Keyword Fake Diploma

Cannibalizing link"How to make a fake diploma", "How to get a fake diploma", "Making a Fake High School Diploma", "Fake Diploma Template", and "Framing your fake diploma"

My understanding is that for Self-Cannibalization to occur I would have to have a link on this page pointing to another page using "Fake Diploma" as my anchor text since I want this page to rank for Fake Diploma. I do have the left sidebar which contains my most recent post and my of my titles do include Fake Diploma but I thought that since they were not an Exact Match and are actually longtail keywords that they did not matter or cause Self-Cannibalization.  Am I wrong? How do I fix this.
