<dt>Cannibalizing link</dt>

<dd>Several links...
</dd>

<dt>Explanation</dt>

<dd>It's a best practice in SEO to target each keyword with a single page on your site (sometimes two if you've already achieved high rankings and are seeking a second, indented listing). To prevent engines from potentially seeing a signal that this page is not the intended ranking target and creating additional competition for your page, we suggest staying away from linking internally to another page with the target keyword(s) as the exact anchor text. Note that using modified versions is sometimes fine (for example, if this page targeted the word 'elephants', using 'baby elephants' in anchor text would be just fine).</dd>

<dt>Recommendation</dt>

<dd>Unless there is intent to rank multiple pages for the target keyword, it may be wise to modify the anchor text of this link so it is not an exact match.</dd>

<dd>How do I fix this?

Hello, my site is fairly new and I started building a lot of backlinks to it by posting my 5 from my website to several different web 2.0 and then posting all those 5 articles again to different article submissions + getting social bookmarks to my main site as backlinks.

My question is: Should I throw all those backlinks in an indexer to get them all indexed at once / ping them all OR do I let google crawler naturally find them and index them itself sort of like 'dripping' as it will find it one by one; stack by stack?

I would also like to know why Yahoo! hasn't indexed my site yet

To make my page look better for readers I HAD to move the 3 posts on the main page making it this now

<dd>We've seen evidence that excessive use of keywords can negatively impact rankings and thus suggest moderation.</dd>

<dt>Recommendation</dt>

I don't understand what you said

Dammit then because I picked a keyword that has 4,400 exact local BUT with a competition of 49-50%. Most of the sites in the top ranking are high authority sites like wiki but don't pertain to my keyword / have only 1 page for it.

Lets say my keyword is United States Military. The top sites in the first page don't focus on the exact keyword 'United States Military' but the pages that come up talk about 'US Forces'.

Is United States Military and US Forces the same keyword? They are both the SAME thing in definition but I have a different keyword as opposed to the ones listed on google.

Another example is "Wireless adapter" when I use the keyword "Wireless USB" and they use "Wireless adapter". They are the same thing in content and definition, but, different keyword. Nothing on the first page has the keyword I mention (even wiki) except for one site that mentions it eight times in the 1 page of content they have focused on it.

I also have a .net EMD for my domain as opposed to my 'competition' that dont.

Could I take my competition that includes high authority sites with over thousands of backlinks but have only 1 page of content on what they are talking about and I have 5 pages + soon to be thousands of BL?

What is a good score for a newbie to take?

When I'm checking my page on SEOmoz should I use http://www. or http:// or www. or just keyword.com?

And I get this for my check

Appropriate Use of Rel Canonical

Moderate fix

<dl>

<dt>Canonical URL</dt>

<dd>XXX</dd>

<dt>Explanation</dt>

<dd>If the canonical tag is pointing to a different URL, engines will not count this page as the reference resource and thus, it won't have an opportunity to rank. Make sure you're targeting the right page (if this isn't it, you can reset the target above) and then change the canonical tag to reference that URL.</dd>

<dt>Recommendation</dt>

<dd>We check to make sure that IF you use canonical URL tags, it points to the right page. If the canonical tag points to a different URL, engines will not count this page as the reference resource and thus, it won't have an opportunity to rank. If you've not made this page the rel=canonical target, change the reference to this URL. NOTE: For pages not employing canonical URL tags, this factor does not apply.</dd>

<dd>I have absolutely NO idea what this means

thanks however my site isn't exactly fresh or new; its around 1 month old with more than 500 backlinks.

I'm trying to do link research and analysis on my website for

dogtraining.blogspot.com
