Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi David,

In all three URLs I would like to go with 3 but 2 is also fine.

One thing I would like to point out here that Optimizing your URLs—by avoiding extraneous characters, using dashes, and adding appropriate keywords is absolutely fine However, there’s no need to focus too much of your marketing efforts on your URL structure because it doesn’t impact rankings as much as backlinks or content quality.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

1>GKP gives only closely related keywords, it’s horrible at coming up with new keyword ideas.

2> I'm not picking either of your option here IMO you should try for high traffic & less competitive keywords

3>You should target long tail keywords along with two terms keywords.

4>First I would like to suggest you to check these two (below) keyword research guide.

a>http://backlinko.com/keyword-research

b>http://backlinko.com/long-tail-keywords

and semrush tool would be the best.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Your website is opening on both with http & https . You must keep one version only & in your case https. Redirect (301) http version to https.

As you intended to keep https version take link on https version not on http version.

If you are talking about old links that pointed to http version those links will pass link juice only if you redirect http version to https using 301 redirect  otherwise all links won't have any value.

Hope this helps.

You can't run Adwords remarketing campaign for competitors visitors. You can remarket only your own site visitors.

Hi Pulkit,

This phenomenon, called domain crowding. You should happy your two pages coming in search results. I think your two pages appearing because location is slightly different first is mumbai and second is navi mumbai(a locality in mumbai city).

First of all It is not good practice to create pages for city and every locality of the city so If you don't want to appear both pages either you can block them or optimize other page for other keywords by placing different keywords in meta title , h1 tag and web page content.

3. Check landing page

Hi Becky,

Internal links help spread link juice (ranking power) around websites. Find detailed article on best practice @ https://moz.com/learn/seo/internal-link

While internal linking is highly recommended, avoid doing it with keyword-rich anchor text. Using too many keyword-rich anchors can have a negative impact on your link profile. Try the healthy alternative of spreading the anchor across a sentence. For instance, instead of using “link building definition," you can go for something like “learn about the definition of link building." So, this ideally means that you create a long anchor and spread the keywords within. - SEOmoz excerpt

Hi Luke,

Hi Frederic,

Certainly not and Google officially announced that switching your website over to HTTPS will give you a minor ranking boost. There are some other benefits including 1>More Security 2>Better referral data 3>SSL build trust and credibility.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

"This is very difficult to measure, but if you use rel=canonical appropriately, and if Google honors it, then it appears to act similarly to a 301-redirect. We suspect it passes authority/PageRank for links to the non-canonical URL, with some small amount of loss (similar to a 301)."

Hi,

Please check reply of Dr peter in similar thread, hope you will get your answer.

• If you haven't yet, please see my follow-up post:

  http://moz.com/blog/new-title-tag-guidelines-preview-tool

  This is a moving target, and it's actually a pixel width (512px), but I tried to take a data-driven approach, and as best I can measure, 55 characters is a safe limit about 95% of the time.

  I will add that Google definitely processes characters beyond that limit (some are even in the source code) and words beyond that limit could count toward ranking. They won't count much, I strongly suspect, but this new limit doesn't mean you automatically have to cut everything shorter. There's certainly no penalty for going over, as long as you're not keyword-stuffing to extremes.

  One down side is that the new method (using CSS for the cut-off) means that Google now cuts mid-word, instead of between words. This could be more detrimental to CTR, in my opinion. It's very situational, though. The best I can say is to look at your most important title tags in the context of real searches and make your own judgment call.

Hope this helps.

Hi Tim,

1. No, there won't be any negative effect if re directs done correctly(301)

2.There is no hard and fast requirement but I would like to let you know that "Fewer folders is generally better".

Thanks

Hi,

Primary keywords are the main keywords for which you want to rank. You are optimizing this keyword so that you can rank in Search engines. e.g Laptop chargers has the highest search volume

Secondary keywords mean those keywords which plays supporting role.

E.g Laptop batteries and chargers and Universal laptop chargers

Hope this helps.

Hi,

It all depends on competition. In order to rank competitive keywords huge effort and time required specially in case of single word keyword.

If you search 'SEO' in Google ,42,90,00,000 results showing while searching 'best seo tools in 2018', 39,70,000 results showing.You can see difference is huge that is why 'best seo tools' easy to rank and get less time and efforts.

In short competition is directly proportional to time & effort*

Thanks
