          Hello,

          I want to ask a question related to that - Should we put keywords in the home page title if we wish to position another landing page better for particular keywords?

          I have read in one website about SEO that it's good the main keywords of your website to be positioned in homepage title also.

          f.e. Let's say we have website about web-design and our company is named Company Ltd. The title of the home page is "Company Ltd.  - Web design, SEO, etc"

          We have also another inner page named "Web design | Company Ltd.".

          So should we leave the first page name only "Company Ltd." and the landing page's name "Web design | Company Ltd." . I don't know if they both have the same keyword in their title they won't compete with each other.

            I forgot to include, keywords do not need to be exclusive to an individual page, they can be targeted on multiple pages, but having the specific landing page will likely be the most effective area on the site for concentrated on-page SEO tactics.

              I would also agree with Baldea and David here, be careful not to Keyword stuff the Home page.

              You can include your desired terms within elements of the page if they are relevant / to help the home page rank for those terms, but a product specific page is always going to give you the most scope to target all page elements effectively.

              The Page title is only one element, SEOmoz's on page optimisation tool should be useful for you in working out how effectively you are targeting the phrase and what trade-offs are available to you.

                Agree with Baldea, I try and keep home pages as the overview for an entire company or subject, then lets say internal products will be optimised for the actual product listed, so they rank individually for that search term and are displayed on a plate in front of the viewer. try and keep the visitors navigation down to a minimum, thus more chance of conversion.

                If your home is the only one ranking for the chosen keywords, it could look like stuffing, Google scoring less for said product/service and visitor is most likely looking for an actual product/service rather than an overview which ends in a high bounce rate.

                All internal pages would have the chosen product keyword(s), keywords hold first word presence in the title.

                for example I would most likely use "Antifouling Paint, fight the barnacles with Teamac Antifouling paint"

                hope this helps

                Dave

                  Keyword stuffing your homepage isn't the best decision. I'd keep my homepage something like:

                  Company Ltd.: Web development solutions (anyway, something that best describes your entire site, company)

                  The landing page(s) could have a title like:

                  ****Company Ltd.: Web design services

                  or

                  Web design services | Company Ltd.

                  Good luck.

                    Should I redirect a popular but irrelevant blog post to the home page?

                    Hi. I'm trying to get my website; www.ciphr.com , to rank for keywords relevant to "HR Software" in the UK.  It's a highly competitive industry and we rank ~mid to low on page one for some of our ideal keywords that are highly relevant and high volume. Years ago we took the decision to blog about topics more loosely related to the world of work. One of our blog posts, about plants in the office https://www.ciphr.com/advice/plants-in-the-office/   is popular. It gets decent traffic and consistently builds backlinks to the post without any further effort on our part. The specific page has a PA of 46 and DA of 55 with >500 domains linking to it.  This compares to our home page with a PA of 47 and 700 linking domains. It is typically the home page that ranks for our money keywords "HR Software" "HR Systems" in the UK. Because this blog post is so loosely related to our actual business, the traffic it generates is highly unlikely to  turn into a customer of ours. I am considering redirecting the blog post to the home page to pass link juice to the home page. The concern I have is that, based on the anchor text and contextual signals from linking pages, Google might then infer that our home page is less relevant for our money keywords and more relevant for "plants". Are my concerns unfounded? What are your thoughts? Should I redirect the blog post to the home page? Another internal page?  Keep the blog post live? Thanks

                    Category pages, should I noindex them?

                    Hi there, I have a question about my blog that I hope you guys can answer. Should I no index the category and tag pages of my blog? I understand they are considered as duplicate content, but what if I try to work the keyword of that category? What would you do? I am looking forward to reading your answers 🙂

                    FAQ page structure

                    I have read in other discussions that having all questions on an FAQ page is the way to go and then if the question has an answer worthy of its own page, you should abbreviate the answer and link to the page with more content. My question is when using some templates in WP, they have a little + button you can click and it reveal the answer to the question. Does this hurt SEO versus having all text visible and then using headers/subheaders? An example of the + button https://fyrfyret.dk/faq/

                    Are there any SEO benefits changing the default home page filename (index.htm) to a keyword rich filename

                    II'm a newbie. I have a website using the default home page filename: index.htm. I have total control over the web server. I was wondering whether I can get any SEO improvements for my main keyword if I change the default filename with a filename that contains the main keyword, like our-main-product.htm (doing the 301 redirect and changing the server search order, of course)?

                    Working on reducing page load time, since that is one of the ranking factors that Google uses. I've been using Page Speed FireFox plugin (requires FireBug), which is free. Pretty happy with it but wondering if others have pointers to good tools for this task. Thanks...

                    Would it be bad to change the canonical URL to the most recent page that has duplicate content, or should we just 301 redirect to the new page?

                    Is it bad to change the canonical URL in the tag, meaning does it lose it's stats? If we add a new page that may have duplicate content, but we want that page to be indexed over the older pages, should we just change the canonical page or redirect from the original canonical page? Thanks so much! -Amy
