      hiya guys

      Just going through the Seomoz Pro on page thing

      One of the flagged items is keyword stuffing, I have 22 keywords (stuffed) but they want it down to 15, the thing is, my website is a forum. and the keyword stuffing is from the title name of each categories eg

      its a nightlife forum so

      Birmingham nightlife forum

      Brighton nightlife forum

      Leeds nightlife forum

      Manchester nightlife forum

      u get the picture

      To avoid this keyword stuffing, should I change some of the forum names to eg leeds nightlife forum > leeds nightlife forums? just by adding the 's that will half the keywords, but its not solving the problem in the long run, if i was to add more cities and areas with the XXXX nightlife foru.

      What you reckon guys?

      Cheers guys

      Luke

        I don't think the problem is the name os the locations. I think the problem is the over use of the term "nightlife." There are lots of synonyms for that, like "Night clubs" "night life" "night spot" "club" "tavern" etc. I really think the problem is with the over use of that word "nightlife"

          thanks for your response, what do you suggest? take alook at http://www.talknightlife.co.uk

          Do you think I should change the category names from eg Birmingham nightlife forum to Birmingham Discussion ? would that lower my rankings for the term birimingham nightlife ? although in the forum within that section there is a keyword placement, birmingham nightlife.

          I'm unsure what will benefit me

          Cheers

          Luke

            Hi Luke,

            I think your idea is a good one. Another possibility would be "Birmingham Club Scene" or "Birmingham Night Clubs Talk" or anything that's a synonym for what you want. Change it up a little bit and make it fun.

            Hey, I just browsed around your site. It' fun! I think you are doing a killer job. Aside from using more variety in your on-site language, stay the course man. I envy you having a site with UGC! (User Generated Content0.

              Cheers, I very much appreciate your comments dana!! from your opinion, should I fill / wait / for the forums to fill up with content then add more areas, or add more areas now and gradually fill the forums, its a catch 22, more forums = less busy = less attractive, but more area's = wider audience = more traffic (sort of)

              what you think about this?
