Best Practice for Non-Cannibalisation of Money Term
-
Say I have a site which sells widgets.
Site structure is as follows:
- Home
- Widgets
- Blue Widgets
- Green Widgets
- Red Widgets
- About Us
- Contact Us
I know the money term is "blue widgets". Not "widgets" (as this is too generic, and blue/red/green widgets are only a subset of the whole 'widget' universe).
How do I prevent the site from cannibalising this keyword? Do I only try to make www.mywidgetsshop.com/blue-widgets the main page for blue widgets or do I try and make the home page rank for this phrase?

Double listing - all the way!
-
Go for the deep page lining and aim to achieve the double listing like EOLG has suggested!
-
Thanks - good point on the #1 and #2 slots!
-
Google currently ranks multiple pages from the same site so if you have mojo for "blue widgets" you can get #1 and #2 in that SERP. I have seen four or five pages from a single domain ranking for a single keyword.
IMO cannibalization is an opportunity for me and a problem for my competitor.

Is this keyword stuffing or best practice?
I'm a psychotherapist here in California. Its common practice for people to say "counseling and therapy" on their websites. Although the two are technically different, most people consider them to be synonyms. Do you think google would consider this practice to be keyword stuffing? Also, I am making a page for the forms I need people to fill out before they see me. Do you think it is bad to list links to the forms like this:
On-Page Optimization | | joebordersmft
-counseling / therapy intake form
-informed consent for counseling / therapy
as opposed to
-intake form
-informed consent
.....I think this falls under the idea that readability is important. I'm just really struggling because recently google decided my main keywords are things that have very little to do with therapy/counseling.0 -

Static content VS Dynamic changing content what is best
We have collected a lot of reviews and we want to use them on our Categories pages. We are going to be updating the top 6 reviews per categories every 4 days. There will be another page to see all of the reviews. Is there any advantage to have the reviews static for 1 or 2 weeks vs. having unique new ones pulled from the data base every time the page is refreshed? We know there is an advantage if we keep them on the page forever with long tail; however, we have created a new page with all of the reviews they can go to.

Best approach to create a mobile version of a website
Hi all, I have a customer that wants to create a mobile version of his website, he wants to create a subdomain to redirect visitors to the mobile version and this mobile version will be a separate folder hosted on the same hosting. I'm seeing really good things from frameworks like JqueryMobile but I thinks they are not really SEO friendly since they load pages with Ajax. So, the question is: its ok to use this kind of frameworks or should I create all the html and css by myself? I'm really looking forward to use the frameworks, since its faster and less time consuming than creating the whole site with html. But I don't want to waste time if it will not be SEO friendly. Thanks in advance

Title optimization best practices for clients with insanely long business names
How do others utilize keywords and preserve branding in the title tag for clients with a REALLY long name? Two examples. Example 1: Business name is 38 characters long in the following format: [Firstname] [initial] [Lastname] [Businesstype] Services 38 characters is workable, but the keywords for what he offers and this industry in general are long too. He abbreviates to his initials in the domain name - I don't love doing that as the acronym has a meaning of its own. (We unintentionally acquired at least one very amusing if useless backlink thanks to that.) Leaving off "Services" saves a few characters. Example 2: Business name totals 58 characters and references their two related lines of business. Similar to: Rogers Institute of Robotic Studies and RIRS Robot Repair

or (saves a few characters)
Rogers Institute of Robotic Studies and Robot Repair How would you handle that? Use the appropriate half of the name on pages related to that particular LOB? Only use the brand on some pages? Abbreviate more? I've been using their full name on the more "general" pages of the site and omitting it in favor of keywords on the more specific pages . Suggestions? Other ideas?1
