Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the reply. Anyone else have an opinion? Many thanks

I'd like your opinion on the strategy of dealing with key phrase variants:

I've got a page that is ranking in the top 10 and top 3 for about 10 different variations of the same phrase.  Seomoz gives it terrible grades for all but one of the keyphrases.

Which course of action do you recommend :

----------- create new pages ------------

Create new pages for each variant and get them to grade A.

If I go this route what sort of cross linking scheme should I use between this pages?

---------- improve existing page -----------

Try to make my single page rank better for all the phrases by doing extra on-page work so the page has a better grade for all of the variants?

Many thanks for your ideas and opinions.

Still waiting. emailing the help desk.

In my dashboard I'm not showing the ranking reports from this most recent saturday.... it is now july 3rd but my dashboard still shows: Last Data Update: 06/27/2011

Is this normal to have the rankings delayed?

Thanks for any ideas

The site is about one destination. I will create another page specifically for that term. Thanks

On my "On Page" analysis report it show me a couple pages that have D ratings... one key phrase is "my destination lodging" and it is matching it up with a url like mydomain.com/my-destination-hotels.html.

It says I'm ranking 37th for this term.... Is it just suggesting that I optimize this url because it is already ranking for that term?

So should I create a different page with a different url to better match this phrase?

Thanks for any ideas.

Hi, on the Competitive Comparison section of the "link analysis" page the top 5 sites are linking to pages on my site that no longer exist. I'm wondering if it is worthwhile to recreate these pages that no longer exist or if I should just use a 301 redirect to some page on my site that has related info. Thanks for your suggestions.

Of course if you used the link juice you save by not indexing the tag pages  towards your articles this "could" bring in just as much traffic or more than you lost by blocking those pages. I guess that is my question... does blocking out certain pages on your site put your sites link juice towards other pages?

I used my robots.txt file to block my tag pages and they were removed from googles index as they should have been however I didn't notice a ranking boost. I curious what others have to say on this topic too.
