What keywords should i be using to promote my site
-
Hi i am looking to promote my home page which is a lifestyle magazine www.in2town.co.uk and i am not sure what keywords i should be using to promote it.
I am doing ok for the keyword lifestyle magazine but i am struggling on what other keywords i should be using to get people to the home page of the magazine.
The magazine is nearly finished and we still have a couple of finishing touches to do but the basics of the magazine is as follows
holiday and travel news, soap gossip, celebrity gossip, product reviews, lingerie brands, gastric band hypnotherapy, health, fashion and beauty and holiday reviews.
I want the home page to be the main page where everyone visits but i am not sure what i should be doing to accomplish this.
Any ideas would be of a great help

Along the lines of what Alan is saying, I think your site is a prime candidate to take advantage of many juicy long-tail keywords.
I understand that you'd like to drive traffic to your home page, but keep in mind that the more likely scenario is you'll draw traffic through your articles which are easier to optimize than a frequently changing home page. This is a good thing, though, because people who enjoy your articles will click the home banner and read other articles from your home page. I've become a fan of many blogs this way.
So how do you get more traffic to your site? Make sure you incorporate keywords into every article you write, especially in the titles. For instance, with the Michael Le Vell article, you can search for relevant keywords by simply using Google Autocomplete (see attached image).
This will show you what people are frequently searching for related to Michael Le Vell. In this case, it's good that you included the word "arrested" in your Michael Le Vell article title, but it would be better for SEO purposes if the phrase was together. An alternate title might be "Michael Le Vell Arrested: On Coronation Street AND In Real Life!" There are a lot of related Coronation Street keywords you could use that can be found through the Google Keyword Tool.
My advice: leverage the strength of your site to draw traffic to the entertaining articles and your readers will naturally go to your home page when they want to read more.
I hope that helps!

most glossy lifestyle magazines cover topics from holidays, celebrity gossip, true life stories etc.
Our online magazine is aimed mainly at women

You say that you are targeting.. "lifestyle magazine"..... but you also have lots of content about these topics....
holiday and travel news, soap gossip, celebrity gossip, product reviews, lingerie brands, gastric band hypnotherapy, health, fashion and beauty and holiday reviews.
.... So, which of those would be considered a "lifestyle" and which of them do you have abundant content to support.?

well i doubt many people enter "lifestyle magazine" into search. they may want to read one, but i doubt thats what they type.
I would go to the google keyword tool, and start investigating, but most visists will come from long tail search terms, your type of site i think will do well out of long tails. You may not get far with the exact term "Paris Hilton", but you may get a lot of long tails if you write about her.

keywords are not ranking as per the expectation and need site review too
Hello, Recently We have a taken a project " http://customerconnect-services.com/ " and are responsible for the Digital Marketing for the website. FYI, we have been following the best On-Page SEO practices ever since we took the project: Performing Keyword Research, Finalizing the Keywords,Using those in the Page-Title, Meta-Descriptions, Heading Tags and of course in the Content as per MOZ suggestions & SEO standards. But, we are unable to rank in first page; all the considered keywords have a ranking of 51+ which is a serious matter of concern for us. We have also checked whether the Domain / URL has been blacklisted, but it's not (Not even by Google). We are therefore unable to figure out what is going wrong even after following so many best practices to get the keywords a good ranking (1st & 2nd page of SERPs). Therefore I would like to request you to provide your expert opinions in this regard by checking what is it that we are not getting right. The website url is http://customerconnect-services.com/. As this is a high-priority issue for us & the client is a prestigious one of course, please help. Looking forward to hearing from you at the earliest. Thanks & Regards,

How Often is Site Crawled
Good morning- I saw some errors in my first crawl and immediately removed the pages from my website. I then re-created my XML sitemap and uploaded to Google. The question I have is will the site be crawled to recognize the changes in the next day or so? The pages were just placed on the site as test pages and never removed. The initial crawl that notified me it was done found the errors and were removed. Thanks for your help. Peter

Keyword and URL
I have a client who has a popular name (like 'Joe Smith'). His blog URL has only his first name and the name of his company in it, like joe.company.com. His blog doesn't rank well at all in the first 3-4 Google SERPs. I was thinking of advising him to change the URL of his blog to joesmith.company.com, and having his webmaster do 301 redirects from the old URL to the new one. Do you think this is a good strategy, or would you recommend something else? I realize ranking isn't just about the URL, it's about links, etc. But I think making his URL more specific to his name could help. Any advice greatly appreciated! Jim

.CA site same as .com site - are both necessary?
Dear Friend, We representa a major national brand in the auto care industry, and they have locations in both US and Canada. There is a primary content site at .com that we have duplicated at .ca. We are hosting the .ca site on a separate IP on a server in Canada - but by in large it is the same site. (there are some minor changes we made to change US English to Canadian English - though minor. When we search Google.ca we generally see strong search results for the .com site, but rarely, if ever any evidence of rankings for the .ca site. The .com site was launched several years ago about 18 months before the .ca site. Why doesn't Google.ca show the .ca site? Is this an issue of duplicate content, and Google.ca simply shows the .com version which it knew about first? Are we wasting our time, money and efforts having both? Thanks, Tim ps. this isn't about location. We use a separate site to locate local shops, and have coordinated that well with Google Places, and when looking for local auto care - we do well in both US and Canada. The sites described above are largetl content sites.
