About Page - optimization keywords ideas
-
I am interested to know your thoughts on which keywords to target for your about page.
While most keyword strategies are about creating or optimizing pages on categories. This is great for product/service page ideas, but I never know what my about page should come up for.
Should it just be your name or can you utilize this page to capture some categories or keywords that are difficult to rank for; I.e We rank well for "web design [location]" not so well for "[location] web design"

Sorry, Andy. I must be tired. I have edited it now

Hi Rod,
Agree with Andy you're not really looking to target that page, however in my opinion i think you can utilise this page for more about company and prodcuts related keywords. Such as "Our Design services" , "Our B2B sulotions" etc.

Ahh you said Homepage above. "...which keywords to target for your home page"
The about us page isn't really one that you want to be SEOing for any of your key phrases. It's just a page that gives you some opportunity to tell your story and background. It isn't something that people would necessarily visit to purchase a product or service.
Is there a reason you are trying to get more people to it?

My home page is doing well. It's the "about us" page that is getting very little traffic.

Hi Rod,
Your Homepage is literally an overview page and is also more about your brand overview - it is a bit of everything that introduces you.
I tend to map out the pages on a site and then look at what I have, what keywords should be aligned with those pages and then expand the keyword research to see what else it would make sense to talk about.
For your Homepage, if all you do is web-design, then something like "Brand Name | A Florida web design agency" - you get the idea.
Try not to be too specific and leave room in your keyword / page map to optimise your internal pages that drill down to skills you want to talk more about.

Hi, on SEO article submissions, do I only include the link to the page I am trying to promote or is it best practice to also include a link to home page or parent page?
Good day. I am writing articles for submission, I would just like some help with the page structure. Do I only include the link for the page that I would like to promote or is it advisable to include other page links, such as home page or the parent category too? Any help would be appreciated

Hi guys, We plan to close down our blog, which is a subdomain to our anchor site. I need advice on how to keep the link juice and its SEO value. Is it better to 301 redirect the blog to the homepage of our site, or just 404 all the pages of the blog? Thanks

Simular product pages
I have 27000 products on my website, showed one by one on a separated webpage. Google index them almost all (+- 25000). But the SEOmoz report shows them as duplicated content. Indeed, most of the page is identical, only changing description and price of the product which is indeed not more than 2% of the total content of the page. On the bottom of the product page are shown the alternatives for this product, mainly other colors. So, within the same family of products that can have 50 products, the site creates 50 webpages showing the product and it's family. That's why nearly everything on the page is identical within this family of products. My guess is, as Google indexed them all, I should not worry about duplicated content. Is my guess correct? Thanks for a soon answer. Rik

Too many links on page?
Hello, Can my rankings suffer if some of my inner pages have too many links/anchor text? Or would link juice just stop being passed after X amount of links? I have content on these inner pages, and it all flows. Thanks!

Is it advisable to have unique pages for different cities/states though there wouldnt be any actual differentiation in the actual content.
Is it advisable to have unique pages for different cities/states though there wouldnt be any actual differentiation in the content. For example should we have separate pages for "hammers in california" & "hammers in new york". The product is same and content more or less the same. The search volume for individual queries is low but collectively makes a large number. The unique title tag automatically will generate traffic. So does it make sense to make 50 such pages. Else is there any way to uniquely target 50 such queries/month/city
