Question for the experts please After removing google sitemaps our site is getting some great traffic. Google site:www.swapshop.co.nz was 520ish not 17,100 A while back we triggered the duplicate filter due to the same title, desc and tags. Changed this by creating dynamically created titles and desc's on the fly. This is working well. Our site has around 520 catergories since it is a free classifieds site. Each catergory has a keyword section back to a mysql table. We have the ability to enter keywords against the catergory. Reason for this is the current drop down menu system produced duplicate title, desc etc. My question is how do we now find the best keywords for a classifieds site against the catergory? A example. Using Google.co.nz search term was second hand backpack vacuums Placement was #2 front page Second Hand Swapshop Classifieds Online Swap, Buy, Sell, Exchange ... exchange second hand goods, exchange goods, exchange, Swap, Buy, Sell, Exchange, ... Toys, Backpack, Carriers, Baths, Accessories, Blanket,Covers,Spreads ... www.swapshop.co.nz/classifieds2/index.php?catid=486 This was from the menu catergory keyword. Example #2 second hand gymnastics equipment Second Hand Swapshop Classifieds Online Swap, Buy, Sell, Exchange ... exchange second hand goods, exchange goods, exchange, Swap, Buy, Sell, Exchange, ... Climbing,Adventure, Cycling, Dancing,Gymnastics, Gym,Exercise, Fishing ... www.swapshop.co.nz/classifieds2/index.php?catid=486 So every catergory has a set of 3-4 keywords. Orginally we used the tool Good Key Words. So how do we now change each keyword to get a better higher SE ranking? Again good example is 2nd or Second Hand or Secondhand?
Use this tool http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion in order to find most popular keywords for your categories
This is the other tool we used Yes Some catergory keywords perform better than others. Need to figure how to make the under performing keyword to perform better.
