How to get gold star reviews on SERP's
Hmmm, depending on the product and number of reviews I would either have a database holding your reviews so you just add to the DB and it updates your dynamic variables per scheme. If it is for a brand and the same aggregate review is over the entire site you could maybe have a config file that references a single dynamic field which will update the entire site, this method may not need a DB. You may have to do some leg work in the first instance to make the figures dynamic. I tend to use PHP and MySQL for this purpose.

Should I use 'Click here' as an inbound link for my cornerstone content?
Hi xdunnings, I would strongly advice you to use the relevant keywords as an inbound link in your content instead of 'click here'. When you use 'click here' in your link text, you just let search engines know that your content contains a link. By using keywords in your link text instead, you let search engines know what content visitors may expect when clicking the link. The search engines' ranking algorithms are partly based on inbound links to a website. Therefore the text that is used for these links matters to the eventual ranking. Another reason is that people don't always read your hole page or article. Therefore it is important for visitors and searchbots to use clear headings tags and anchor text on your page or article so they can have a quick and clear overview. Hope this helps you!

Yoast SEO Question
Hi xdunningx The focus keyword is an arbitrary concept made up by Yoast - it forces you to think about what the piece should be ranked for in terms of a single target keyword or phrase. It should be one - three words ideally. As long as the target keyword you want to rank for is on the page, preferably in the H1 and used as the feature image ALT text you are good to go. Yoast is great but it does have this irritating feature where it fails to recognise the focus keyword on the page. Regards Nigel

Using Bold text for keywords
I believe it's more of a user experience thing rather than SEO, although technically it is a ranking factor (very small one). Additionally, too much bold text will probably have the opposite effect. The purpose of bolding text is to emphasise, keep it in context and relevant and bold where you need to.

Do WooCommerce product tags effect SEO?
Hi xdunningx, You can use them and they could have a positive impact on SEO if they are not duplicates of the Category taxonomies. So for instance you have an eCommerce site that sells sports clothes and you have categories for fitness, tenis, golf, soccer etc.. . than you could have tags for leggings, t-shirts, tops, etc... Many times though they would be subcategories as well so you would have a subcategory page for leggings e.g. sports.com/category/fitness/leggings and a page for the leggings tag e.g. sports.com/tag/leggings. Both these pages would be competing for search queries related to leggings and therefore have less of an impact (as its not a clear statement of your site to google as to which page should rank) compared to one unique page on your website ranking for that query. In general i would stay away from tags (woocomerce or others).for ecommerce unless they are very tightly managed and are for terms with sufficient search volumes and relevant for your business, and dont duplicate your categories. Hope this helps

Professional Content Writters
Hi, I have been working with several writers in the past from peopleperhour with excellent resuts. They however did not do the keyword research and were only used to write the copy according to our instructions. There are several people offering this service though so you could give them a try.
