Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi, I recieve a grade A on my on page grader, however i get "Avoid Keyword Stuffing in Document" - now on my page, i am not sure if its avoidable. It says this is highly important, but here is the issue. My website specialises in a particular product, so we have many variations of that product, different fabrics, styles, trimmings etc, so we have over 50 URLS pertaining to different variations of that "keyword" it's not in a spammy way, its actually done as customers are searching for it that way. Let's say for example scarves.

Cotton Scarves, Viscose Scarves, Polyester Scarves, Pom Pom Scarves, etc etc

So on my homepage even if i reduce the text mentions of "scarves" the urls still have 50 or so with it as the title, and in the URL. So how do i avoid this form of "keyword Stuffing" ?

As in most cases of seo, there's always a slew of things. i've reduced the 404's but these shouldn't have any implication on my landing pages, the competitor in question certainly has more edu links. But i would not say they freshen the content more.

It is most probably better domain rank in that case, in which I will look into building my domain rank. and improving my on page optimisation (which im yet to figure out which is the best route through the other thread).

The strange thing that I find about my competitor is that they do not have great content, they actually have almost 0 content, and it is either filled with a video or a link to a site holding the video. What they do however have is age, they've been around for a very very long time, and have some edu links, but all in all, the site is really bad. Could those links be the only thing propping the page up?

I, in the mean time (in another thread) identified with the help of seomoz private some issues with my site, and i created another thread which relates to video, content and where they should be placed on a page and if ads above the fold hurt serps, but then you have the dilemna of loosing revenue.

I have started updating my content and providing very relevant and useful content.

It seems as though my site has been hit, possibly because of above the fold adverts or lack of content above the fold, so I have a number of questions regarding this.

1. Are videos regarded as content by Google Bot?

2. If three adverts are placed above the fold with text content clearly readable. Will these three adverts still affect my search engine rankings?

3. Is it better to put text before the video and have the video placed a bit lower?

4. I have a number of pages that have video but no text, could these pages combine to decrease the value of my best landing pages?

thanks

I know there could be numerous reasons here why they may be ranking higher but I hope I can get some answers from the details that I provide below

I am looking at one particular page so its

• www.mydomain.com/urlhere.html
• I have page rank 5 on this url
• I have had the domain for 7 years
• I have videos on this page (my competitors do too)
• I have 65 linking root domains
• 14,000 inbound links to this page.
• I have 6 keyword phrases in my title tag

My main competitor has a lot more pages and has been around longer, but has lower page rank and lower inbound links to that page. They also have less words in the title tag.
