How to Target Multiple Keywords in Single Page
-
Hey There,
We're planning to target multiple keywords in a single page.. they keywords are definitely related and to an extent could be considered as synonyms..
We have a few questions as to how to optimize the page for on page and off page.
On Page
-
Do we mention all the targeted keywords on the page? At a maximum we could mention the keywords once..of course want to give out relevant and quality content and do not want to focus on keyword density
-
How do we optimize the URL structure? For ex... We have keywords aa, ab and ac, where a is the base keyword
Is it a good option to to have a URL structure like http://www.example.com/a-b-c.html?
-
How do we go about mentioning the targeted keywords in meta description.. We've read the articles at SEOMoz.. but would want opinions
-
What about HI, H2 and H3 Tags? how do we go about optimizing these
Off Page
While using off page we will of course vary our anchor text with the multiple keywords... this will make it look natural.
- Will we manage to rank for the multiple keywords (if we vary anchor text) that we're targeting if our backlinking method are strong?
Thank you all for your inputs and responses...

Not saying these are best... just how I do it....
1) How do we optimize the URL structure? For ex... We have keywords aa, ab and ac, where a is the base keyword
I use most searched keyword.
2) How do we go about mentioning the multiple targeted keywords in meta description.. We've read the articles at SEOMoz.. but would want opinions
I do something like this.... formal name: blah blah slang name
Brass Widgets: Also know as gold widgets are kickass....
- What about H1, H2 and H3 Tags? how do we go about optimizing these for the multiple keywords
I optimize H1 for formal name and use slang (highest search volume) in H2
4) Is it a good idea to put up these multiple keywords on the sidebar of our website... we're basically referring to breadcrumbs all over over website for the targeted keywords...
I just include them in the text of the page.

Thanks EGOL... that was really very helpful and made a lot of sense...We did search for certain keywords and the synonyms did show up.. thanks a ton..
However, looking from an SEO point of view, few questions still remain unanswered and we're looking for views and opinions from the experienced that will clarify our doubts on the below:
- How do we optimize the URL structure for multiple keywords? For ex... We have keywords aa, ab and ac, where a is the base keyword
Is it a good option to to have a URL structure like http://www.example.com/a-b-c.html?

I sell a product that has a formal name, a slang name that is used by most customers, an archaic name that is used by old-timers (like me) and an ignorant name that people who are unfamiliar with the product often use.
The slang name has most of the search volume, followed by the archaic name. Our best customers are professionals who use the formal name.
I have made a point to use each of these names somewhere on every page of the site. However, I optimize for the formal name and the slang name. My site ranks well for all four of these terms. However, I give Google the credit for these rankings instead of saying that it is my expert optimization.
If I go to Google.com and search for the formal name, google bolds the slang name, the archaic name and the igonrant name in the SERPs.
You can test this for yourself... go to google.com and search for 'celebrity pics". You will see that "photos", "pictures" "pics" "celebs" "celebrity" and other terms are bolded in the SERPs.
If this is happening for your keyword variants then your optimization work is going to be easier.

Rel canonical tag from shopify page to wordpress site page
We have pages on our shopify site example - https://shop.example.com/collections/cast-aluminum-plaques/products/cast-aluminum-address-plaque That we want to put a rel canonical tag on to direct to our wordpress site page - https://www.example.com/aluminum-plaques/ We have links form the wordpress page to the shop page, and over time ahve found that google has ranked the shop pages over the wp pages, which we do not want. So we want to put rel canonical tags on the shop pages to say the wp page is the authority. I hope that makes sense, and I would appreciate your feeback and best solution. Thanks! Is that possible?

How To Optimize A Page For Multiple Keywords
Hi Guys, In this video by Brian Dean he talks about how to go about optimising for multiple keywords. He basically said the main factors for optimising a page for multiple keywords are the following: Identify other keywords with same search intent as your primary keyword. Add them to title tag strategically, don't stuff them in there. Add as many of those keywords as h2 tags into the content, again when it makes sense. Are there any other more advanced ways you can use to optimize a page for multiple keywords with same search intent that could be good? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated! Cheers.

Duplicate Pages #!
Hi guys, Currently have duplicate pages accross a website e.g. https://archierose.com.au/shop/cart**#!** https://archierose.com.au/shop/cart The only difference is the URL 1 has a hashtag and exclamation tag. Everything else is the same. We were thinking of adding rel canonical tags on the #! versions of the page to the correct URLs. But Google doens't seem to be indexing the #! versions anyway. Does anyone know why this is the case? If Google is not indexing them, is there any point adding rel canonical tags? Cheers, Chris https://archierose.com.au/shop/cart#!

Multiple Results On First Page
Hi Guys, First question here, after splitting our content across 2 subdomains (~6 months ago) we've noticed google showing several of our pages on page 1. Would it be better to somehow consolidate to just one page (in the hopes that together it would push the rank higher or is it better left to google to work out on its own? I've attached an example of this happening with one of our targeted keywords. HwEARxd

Wordpress - Dynamic pages vs static pages
Hi, Our site has over 48,000 indexed links, with a good mix of pages, posts and dynamic pages. For the purposes of SEO and the recent talk of "fresh content" - would it be better to keep dynamic pages as they are or manually create static pages/ subpages. The one noticable downside with dynamic pages is that they arent picked up by any sitemap plugins, you need to manually create a separate sitemap just for these dynamic links. Any thoughts??

Consolidating MANY separate domains into a much better, single URL: Should I point a landing page or redirect to the new site?
I am consolidating a site for a client who previously, and very foolishly, broke up their domains like so: companyparis.com companyflorence.com companyrome.com etc... I am now done with the new site, which will be at: company.eu with pages as appropriate: company.eu/paris company.eu/florence company.eu/rome This domain, although not entirely new, does not have much authority or rank. In terms of SEO and link-building, is it better to redirect the old domain to the specific page on the new domain: companyparis.com --> company.eu/paris or... is it better to put a landing page at the old domain LINKING to the page on the new domain: companyparis.com --> landing page linking to --> company.eu/paris

Ranking drop for a particular page on a particular keyword
Take a look at centerforhealthysex.com/sex-addiction. For months we were ranking in the top 3 spots with this URL for "sex addiction los angeles", even reaching #1 for a while. Late last year we redesigned and developed the site to clean up the code and redirects. We also cleaned up the internal linking structure. For years we had been ranking on "sex addiction los angeles" for the home page ... bumping around the top 5 spots, but we wanted organic traffic to go to /sex-addiction. In the Fall, we saw overall site traffic rise steadily. We made few changes to the site and none to this page or links flowing back to the page once we had achieved strong ranking -- we didn't want to mess with a good thing. Then November 27th we started losing ranking on this term and a couple others. The good news is that we gained ranking on some high volume traffic terms so overall organic traffic is reasonably strong, BUT we're not ranking on the terms where we want to rank. Centerforhealthysex.com/sex-addiction is now nowhere to be found on the target search term despite fairly strong page rank. I tried redoing and resubmitting the site map, cleaning out some potentially duplicative content but to no avail. I see no issues, errors or warnings in Webmaster Tools. We have a few medium priority fixer-uppers in SEO Moz, but we've taken care of the majority of the big stuff. What am I not seeing? Thank you!
