@Federico Einhorn @DennisSeymour I will try this tool on weekend. I'm using google keyword planner, moz tools, market samurai and other methods. I know semrush as well. The problem is that there seems to be a very limited number of searches for this niche keywords, regardless which tool you use. @ Billy Jefferson Yes, that was exactly my suggestion. It's comforting to see that someone actually confirms it. The problem is that they seem to be obsessed with “keyword rankings” which in this case is secondary in my opinion. I want to target “dog blogs” in certain areas and use FB advertising to target people who have/like dogs and live in areas of our interest. Suggestion about “kennels” and especially partnering with local hotels was something I haven't thought about before. Thank you for your help Regards, JJ

hi

I try to find good keywords to rank a “dog day care” site for and can't seem to find anything that makes sense.

This is a company that sells franchises of their service – dog day care. So there is a “mother site” where they advertise service in general and try to sell franchises.

If you go “pet franchise”; “pet franchises”; “dog day care franchise” etc – you get virtually zero traffic keywords.

On the other hand if I use “doggy day care” it will bring mostly people who are looking for a place to leave their dog for a day. Doesn't make sense either way.

Same goes for local sites. If you look at “doggy day care location” it brings next to nothing. Using “doggy day care” without specific location doesn't make sense either, as certain location applies only to people living in say 50 mile radius.

I would really appreciate any ideas how to approach this. How to promote small “dog day care” franchising company?

And how to promote particular locations?

Thank you in advance,

JJ

@Mike Roberts

Sorry, I somehow missed your response.
thanks for your advise, I'm aware of the problem.

Whole site should be replaced with something more up-to-date and this is the direction I'm trying to push them.

Thank you very much Abe - it was me being stupid rather than something wrong with Moz:)

Hi,

Does anybody know what can I do with those “duplicate content pages”?

1/ home page shows 4 different urls with different parameters. Should I use meta-robots tag to eliminate it? Or block it in robots.txt?

2/ Also, there are dozens of duplicates created by the “gallery system”. Like this:

http://screencast.com/t/qTq4YERG

All showing for the same url. There are multiple pages for each location. Some people told me that it's irrelevant for rankings anyway.

I suggested getting rid of flash website alltogether and getting a smooth wordpress installation, but it's not an option.

Can you please help me with it?

Best Regards,

JJ

Hi,

How important do you think the image file names are for image search?
I know it used to be the best practice a while ago but is it still important?

Thanks in advance,

JJ

Hi,
I have a couple trivial questions regarding google search and the way Moz keyword reports are working.

1/ is it true that google moved to ssl encrypted protocol and doesn't release keyword data anymore?

2/ if so than how Moz still manages to collect this data? Is it because of api or some other “deal” with them? Or you're paying for it.

3/ Why is “traffic from organic search” only for one week? Or I am missing something .

It would be great to:
a/ go month by month (my client is requiring monthly reports)
b/ compare one week/month with another to see if it's getting better or worse.

Thanks in advance,
JJ

@Irving, George

Thanks for your responses. I had no access to my laptop and for some reason couldn't post my reply from Galaxy s2. I stop losing my sleep over it:)

Hi,

According to seomoz report I have two 404 errors on my site. (http://screencast.com/t/2FG8fA1dvGB) I removed them from google webmasters central about 2 weeks ago (http://screencast.com/t/MQ8XBvrFm ) , but they're still showing as an error in the next report (weekly update).

Is there anything else you do about 404 or just remove urls through gwc? Or maybe seomoz data is delayed?

Thanks in advance,

JJ

Hi,

What would be the best hosting company to go with if I want to promote my site in the UK? Right now it's hostgator and I know I'll have to change it. Should I get something located in the UK (logic would suggest it) and rather dedicated server (very expensive, especially if you're using wordpress) or shared hosting will do?

Thanks in advance,

JJ

Hi,

I'm reviewing somebodies site and just realized that it's overflown with duplicates. Like these:

<colgroup><col width="3496"></colgroup>
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=1 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=6 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=7 |

It also produces something like this:

|

|
|
|
|
|
|

I don't know what to do with that and would appreciate any help

Thanks,

JJ
