Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Do you have Bing Webmaster Tools on there?

Having the phrases on two separate pages is the way to go, one page for one phrase. With them both having the word boost it will not affect your ability to rank.

From Moz-

Since search engines keep different metrics for domains than they do subdomains, it is recommended that webmasters place link-worthy content like blogs in subfolders rather than subdomains. (i.e. www.example.com/blog/ rather than blog.example.com) The notable exceptions to this are language-specific websites. (i.e., en.example.com for the English version of the website).

For your second question-

As long as you are getting conversions that is all that really matters. It doesn't matter if it is coming from your domain or subdomain.

We are excited at the prospect of being able to put up multiple languages, at both the cost and effort level that your company describes.

But a couple of specific concerns that we need addressed before we could try the service is the potential for incurring Google penalties for both duplicated content and auto-generated content.

Can you provide some detailed insight as to how your service has addressed those issues?

If they serve two very different functions I could see the advantage. Does your client already have the the multiple websites? Or are you looking at splitting up their current site?

This is the best I could find to so someone who had a similar problem with Joomla-

"In the premium version you can slow down the crawl rate under 'speed' in the configuration. In the free lite version, you can crawl the site and then right click on any URLs with a 403 response and press 're-spider'. The server will generally then allow you to crawl these pages (and return a 200 ok response) as you're not requesting too many at once, so you might have to re-spider them individually."

Is this content that the author has already posted on their site? If that is the case I would be worried about duplicate content. If it is not it looks like guest posting and Google has recently said they aren't a big fan of that. Those would be my two big concerns.

If your are looking at helping true beginners I think some of this might be too advanced. Your first article "The Un-Checkbox Approach to Content Marketing" might be too advanced. I would try to point them to something like the Moz beginners guide.

Great website design btw

From Adwords perspective, I don't think it matters for them, it comes down to person preference. My preference for what you have offered would be service level with adgroups and keywords for each city, that seems like it would be the easiest to manage in the future.

Besides the things you mentioned it seems like one of the biggest downfalls would be creating more work for yourself. Optimizing one site is a lot easier the 2 or more. Seems like having it all on one would also help with domain authority. Is there any upside to having multiple domains?

I have taken a look at that and mine is set normal. I also checked Google and that is set to what they recommend.

I am running both Bing and Google ads. I turned the campaigns off for the two weeks around the holiday's and flipped them back on last Monday. maybe it will end up being equal over time. I still feel like my crawl is low. I am submitting 25k items on a sitemap but I am not hitting a 25k crawl.

I recently setup Cloudflare so I can see how much my site is being crawled. It looks like Bing is crawling me about 3 times as much as Google. Any ideas on why that would be or what I should check?

I am adding translated versions of my sites to a subdomain for example es.example.com. Will I add each subdomain into Google Webmaster Tools? Will each need its own sitemap?

We are looking at using it as a translation service but I have SEO concerns. Does anyone have any experience or see any potential problems?

You have certainly built a nice looking website. I looked at this page, http://www.quotery.com/mark-twain/?PageSpeed=noscript and assumed you wanted this page to rank for the keyword "Mark Twain quotes".

1. Have you looked at changing your url to http://www.quotery.com/mark-twain-quotes/

2. Your first image has correct alt text, but the ones after that say "grid-author". Instead of using the same picture 20 times on this page I would either get rid of the pictures after the top one, get a variety of pictures, or at the very least fix the alt image tag.

3. I see at the very top you have "Mark Twain Quotes" in your h1 tag. But not anywhere else on the page, even though Moz showed you used it 4 times in the body. When I looked at the source code it seems like it appeared mostly with the addthis buttons. Keyword density is pretty dated but I would try to have it in at least one place in the body.

Big Fan!

Yes the pages are in the Google Index, I'll message you the URLs.

We have category pages and some of those pages have pagination due to us having additional items. Screaming Frog could not find the items that were after page 1. Is this a problem for Google? These item pages are still in the sitemap. I am sure they can find them to index them but does it hurt rankings at all.

We have never done anything blackhat or spammy, but over time we have just acquired crappy links. We had a traffic drop when the first penguin was rolled out so we thought cleaning up some of the old crap would be a good idea.

According to my latest links in Webmaster Tools the first time it happened was October 2012, which is before the site launch. It seems to have accelerated this year. It is a total of 16341 links but under linked pages it only says 27.

I went ahead and private messaged you the ip.
