      I am starting website focused on consumer complaints/reviews with purely User Generated content. Is there really "keyword strategy" for such sites? I can only think of analyzing competition's keywords and understanding long tail http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-big-is-your-long-tail-whiteboard-friday.

      Any experiences? Or ideas?

        I never use user generated content on its own. I always try to put some description besides like if it is a product than I give a brief about the product, where I can use it's name in the title, in the headings and maybe with a picture. The length depends on how much research would you like to do. Than in the end II alwas encourage people to share their opinion. I do it this way. I think that simply user generated content should be enough if you are targeting something so new, that nobody or really few people know exact things, everybody is rather just guessing about what is might exactly be or how should it work. In this case nobody will have long content with much keywords te beat you with.

        • Can you target a keyword to a specific page on your site or are all keywords in seomoz broad keywords to describe your entire site?
