Meta Geotag - two locations on one website
I would not, no on the same page at least. I would expect that the last tag is used the previous tags will be dismissed, but there could also be a spam signal who knows.

Another SEO's point of view
Hi SEO 5 Team, Just wanted to point out that this post is over two years old, so the question may no longer still be relevant.

If Google still shows my old title in the search results then there is no way my title change could have changed my ranking yet right?
If you click on the cache, that is what google is using to index the page. You can also check Google Webmaster Tools, Fetch as Google tool, to see if your title is being picked up correctly. You can also see the frequency that google visits your site as well in Webmaster Tools. I have had problems with Wordpress sites not being structured correctly and google pulling the wrong meta title.

Keyword stuffing - is it true?
Hi Jose, Thanks for looking up this thread. It looks like the issue wasn't with the site (that I know of) or our tool. It's rather that we don't support non-UTF8 characters in our tools, which is causing that count to be off. The issue lies in that we don't support slavic characters, so our on-page tool can only do their best to come up with "matches." So when we see that "уеб дизайн" our tool can't tell if that's a word/phase since Roger doesn't speak this language, it does what a non-speaker would do and do character matches instead. So in that 9 character phase, we were able to find "matches" for each of the 9 characters on the page we paired up against. So in that instance, they were seeing so many matches on that page. Currently, our product team are kicking around a few ideas on what languages to support next. They would love to hear from our customers though at: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests Feature requests helps us out tremendously since it helps us prioritize our workflow and figure out what to build next. I hope that's helpful! Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Peter Moz Help Team.

Using rel-canonical to point to page with no internal link to it?
Great answers from both responders, and I agree - every category needs a default hub page that is linked to preferably directly in your breadcrumb, and all pages within that series should reference it in link canonical. So, to help answer your questions: 1. No, its not preferrable and is probably hurtful to your campaign to not have a physical link to the primary page you are referencing in your rel canonical in that categorical series 2. Yes, using pagination and rel-next, rel-previous is a solid option which limits page load issues. Adding filters (often seen in the left hand navigation in context) is also very helpful in keeping the total results lower. 3. Likely because you are not sending strong signals to Google that you believe the hub pages are best for your visitors. By adding those links to the breadcrumb permanently, and by referencing those directly in internal links, etc, you will send the signal to Google that those pages are important, and Google will begin to utilize those. Hope this helps.

How to make video snapshot appear near your search result
I'm currently using XML Sitemap for Videos that generates the video sitemap. Is that enough? I also saw this plug in http://yoast.com/wordpress/video-seo/ and it looks like you can display video snippets even if the video are hosted on youtube. What's your experience? Thanks. Andrea

Duplicate Content Daily Rates
Hey there, I wouldn't worry too much about this. I think Google would be smart enough to know that in the context of your website this is valuable content. However, be sure to back this up with good unique content throughout your website. Perhaps for each currency conversion page you could have a passage of text such as... "The US dollar has traditionally been stronger than the GBP, however in recent years we have seen that this difference is contracting. Perhaps one of the reasons for this is blah blah blah blah." That would be a nice lead in to an article about that rate, which in turn may reduce bounce rate too (as I imagine a big proportion of people hit your site for their currency, then bounce off?)

Review my website and guide me what can do for top ranking.
Maybe the easiest way to get further up is to concentrate some time on Google+ Local. Get yourself a decent local setup with good keyword usage, make sure the account is 100% complete with photos, video etc and do some local citation building. Get as many of your previous clients to put reviews up (gradually) and once you get past 5 reviews you might see a jump onto page 1. From what I see here in the UK the competition is pretty weak for Buffalo apartments for Local so this might be your best route back to page 1. Any thoughts from anyone else on this approach? Ant

Robots file include sitemap
Fore sure. The reason is that not all sitemap files are simply sitemap.xml it may be sitemap.gzip sitemap.zip or in my case, sitmap_index.gzip. Also, some people may not be able to include their sitemap at root. Including sitemap exacts in robots.txt gives a clear directive to each of the search engines exactly where to find your sitemap. Google and Bing/Yahoo will have no issue finding it as you probably submitted it to them but crawlers like ask.com will usually look at your robots.txt and skip your site if no map is placed in it.

Content Optimization - Multiple Keywords or One?
Personally, I am a fan of your #1 option. The second option, to me, seems like it could send very mixed messages about what is most important on a page. The third option, in my opinion, is too limiting and could be very prone to coming off as spammy. I'm a big fan of synonyms and weaving keywords together in natural ways that support the context and content of a page. If you throw all your efforts behind a single keywords, all I can imagine is a very boring page. However, this really all depends on the keyword itself and the content that might be right for it. For example, for a very specific medical condition, let's use "Meniere's Disease" as an example, this might be a time when you optimize a page for that keyword and nothing else because it something extremely specific, with a very specific name given to it by the medical community. However, if your term was "gas mileage," I would expect to see content that didn't just use "gas mileage" but also used terms like "fuel economy" "fuel efficiency" - Some keywords are just naturally more prone to having synonyms, and some aren't, so I wouldn't even set a hard and fast rule about it. Given your space limitations in addition to everything else, I would go with option 1. Hope that helps!

Hi Miguel, Aside from whether or not this is good for your SEO, you should also consider whether or not this is good for your customers. Based on a loose translation, it seems that this content would provide little to no helpful value for your users, so it's safe to assume Google would treat it the same way. Instead, focus on developing more comprehensive content that clearly explains the products you offer and the reasons for purchasing these products from your site vs. one of your competitors. You definitely came to the right place if you are learning SEO - and you should definitely check out Moz's beginner's guide to SEO or Google's keyword stuffing guidelines. Good luck!
