          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.

                    Hi, I want to index all my categories and tags. But I fear about duplicating the meta description. for example: I have a tag name "Learn Stock Market", a category name "Learning", and a main article "What is Stock Market". What is your suggestion for meta description of these three pages that looks great for seo google?

                    Does anyone know of a tool where you can get all of the keyword that any given landing page is ranking for?

                    I'd like to find out what landing pages are ranking for which keywords, but I haven't been able to find a tool that does it. I was hoping there would be something where I could submit the url and get a list of every keyword it is ranking for. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

                    Why is my contact us page ranking higher than my home page?

                    Hello, It doesn't matter what keyword I put into Google (when I'm not signed in and have cleaned down my browsing history) the contact us page ranks higher than the home page. I'm not sure why this is, the home page has a higher page authority, more links and more social media shares, the website is an established one. When I have checked Google Analytics my home page gets more people landing on it than the contact us page. It looks like people are ignoring the contact us page and scrolling down until they find the home page. I'd appreciate any help or advice you might have. Thank you.

                    Noindex child pages (whose content is included on parent pages)?

                    I'm sorry if there have been questions close to this before... I've using WordPress less like a blogging platform and more like a CMS for years now... For content management purposes we organize a lot of content around Parent/Child page (and custom-post-type) relationships; the Child pages are included as tabbed content on the Parent page. Should I be noindexing these child pages, since their content is already on the site, in full, on their Parent pages (ie. duplicate content)? Or does it not matter, since the crawlers may not go to all of the tabbed content? None of the pages have shown up in Moz's "High Priority Issues" as duplicate content but it still seems like I'm making the Parent pages suffer needlessly... Anything obvious I'm not taking into consideration? By the by, this is my first post here @ Moz, which I'm loving; this site and the forums are such a great resource! Anyways, thanks in advance!

                    E-Commerce product pages that have multiple skus with unique pages.

                    Hey Guys, With the recent farm/panda update from google i'm at a cross roads as to how I should optimize product pages for a project i'm working on for a client. My client sells tires and one particular tire brand can have up to 15 models and each model can have up to 30 sizes. IE: 'Michelin Pilot Sport Cup' comes in 15 different sizes. Each size will have it's unique product page and description bringing me to my question. Should I use the same description on every size? I do plan on writting unique content for each tire model however i'm not sure if I should do it for every size. After all the tire model description is the same for every size, each size doesn't carry any unique characteristics that I can describe. Thanks in advance!

                    SEO value of "in the news" links on home page?

                    Notice more sites have an "in the News" section on the home page, or something similar like press releases... Apart from providing users fresh content, is there an SEO value to this?  What is the explanation for this? Have a feeling the answer is obvious but just not too sure Thanks a lot.
