Yep, you're on the right track with your thought process. Google will try and give credit to the original source of the content.

Hi Shawn,

There is some discrepancy with details in regards to what each of these terms could be used for. Some see these terms as basically synonymous, as organic traffic does indeed refer to web traffic directed through search engines. Organic traffic can also include direct and social media links. Natural traffic can also be used to describe the same element, with links from search engines or any website. When traffic is generated through users directly entering a URL, this is usually referred to as “direct” traffic.

Good Question Luis,

Suggested Process below:

• Get a list of all your backlinks
• Make a list of all the known bad neighborhoods. You might have to research SEO blogs for this info
• Compare that with your list of backlinks
• You can also manually check any site to see if it is indexed in Google or not to confirm it's negative impact.

Hi Tyler,

My thoughts would be to go with the keyword+location. Also the keyword or location should not be mentioned more than 2 times in the title tag.
