Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Our crawl report detects that we have not put in a meta description for any of the tags we have used on our blog.  (total tag words we have used is around 70). We have however, put a full description of each of our categories, do we really need to put a description for each of the tags we use?  Will this really help us with SEO? Also can tags on posts be the same as the keyword your trying to rank the post/article about? For further information We are using Yoast.

Hi Guys I am just wondering whether or not for SEO purposes it is better to have a small number of categories for your blog posts to fit into as opposed to numerous ones.  The reason I ask is that I have one site which is fairly new to the search engines - 8 months old which has 7 general categories within the blog for instance "rail contractors", "railway construction" "airport construction" etc   I have another site which is 10 years old which has built up 25 different types of categories for instance brand design, brand development, brand management (i guess you could put all these under 1 category "branding"?  We've been writing lots of press for both sites... yet the younger site is getting more coverage on Google page 1.  Would this be because the blogs / press are more concentrated under a specific category as opposed to being spread thinly throughout the site? Any help would be appreciated. Debs 🙂

Hi Guys, I am new to SEOmoz and just finding my way around the site.  I currently have two websites up both in wordpress and both using SEO Yoast for keyword / page analysis.  SEO Yoast software basically only allows you to have 1 page / blog post optimised for 1 keyphrase.  If you try to put the same keyphrase in 2 + times for different pages or posts then Yoast flags it up as not good for SEO purposes.  Is this correct? Also how do massive websites go on when previously they would have optimised many web pages / blogs for the same keywords?
