you could try that. I think that would be a really good idea

I think that would be a good idea for your niche to add some history besides some people may find it intriguing. It shows more passion in addition to the content already present. Make a top 10, step outside of the box be creative but original. Get personal it makes a viewers experience more enjoyable.

Site is looking good is there a reason you haven't put it on its own domain name? I would follow the advice below and break down your team by team and decade by decade and stay the course but secure your own domain soon so you can rank higher in Google.

I like it - I would just actegorise each team so that it is easier to find for each fan... Sure is a lot to write about though...

Baseball History itself is massive, what would you promote Think about specific products and services so you don't overwhelm yourself with the amount of work that it will take to try and maintain.

The idea with a niche is to be specific so you can take a slice of the pie. Not to pursue an entire sport by throwing out a fishing line to catch a nibble here or there.

Find a segment, learn who is the most interested in that little section, then work on determining the exact customer profile so you can write posts with the correct language for that type of a person.

Figure out who they are and what issues they have so you can pitch the correct products/services to get them to come to your site and learn that you know what you are talking about so they will wind up taking your advice/suggestions seriously.

You can start with any team then as time goes, you can spread out and go deeper.

That's a pretty good niche, actually. Making different headings based on teams would be beneficial. Maybe break it down by decade maybe to make it easier to organize.

No but i would add them as sections on your site

Ask site support as they're working on a new server.

It's something that can only be done at the server level. Ask SiteSupport.

It's kind of a useless SEO tactic. MAYBE it can help in some situations, but not all the time, and it looks weird to a reader. You can experiment and see if it works for some of your articles, but I wouldn't make it a rule, and it won't make or break a page ranking.

I don't think its useful and it's kind of annoying for your audience. Bold is likely not important to an algorithm like Google. If you readers are happy, Google is happier than any bolding of keywords.

I've seen blogs do this and it's annoying to me as a reader. And big websites I follow don't do this at all. I follow their example.

I will bold important phrases for my readers though!

Please don't do that:
Google hate all letters bold!
Only the first letter is ok like that:
I Like You!
not ok:
I LIKE YOU!

I'm agree with Paul, I'm don't think it helps with ranking. Although, I could be wrong. I mean the titles are bolded and your keywords are in the titles and or subheadings of your post.

So, that along with quality content should be the SEO ranking factor. I read on MOZ that the bolding is an old tactic.

Anyhow, they did say it helps with user experience as long as the bolding is not over used. I hope this helps...

Hello! That is a great question. I am not sure if that is old hat SEO or not. I used to hear the same.

I will say that Google looks at the appearance, readability, and flow of our content.

So when creating Content I do like to Bold certain words that I would like to emphasize to the reader NOT to Google. But Google is judging our content for the Readers. So they may like the Bolding for that reason.

But I doubt that they see the bolding of keywords and it makes a difference. Except maybe to your point as a reader. When it becomes annoying. They may dock us for it.

What I do is. When commenting on other Blogs here at WA whether in Site Comments or when I see one of the Big Earners post something.

I look at their writing styles. I do see them use Bold type a good bit. So that helps me in becoming a better Content Writer. Looking at what Big websites and others here at WA.

I may be worng, but I don't thnk so..

You need to have them in your title and witihn the first paragraph.

Some also like to have them in at least one heading - I usually sneak a variation of them in at the end of the post as well.

Hi Yungguns

Here is the answer I got from the WA community on this:

Your Main Keyword should be part of your Title
Your Main Keyword should be part of your URL
Have it within your First Main Headline.
Have it as part of your first paragraph.
Try to incorporate it within your first Sub-Headline.
Have it somewhere in the middle of your article and again near the end.
Also have it as part of your Alt Tag in the first image you have within your article.

Hope this helps

There is no keyword density rules. They use to say it was X % or however much, but there are so many exceptions to the rule, that there's really no rule.

Here's the main way to use keywords: Where Do I Put Keywords?

This question has been asked many times. I use the keyword no more the two to three times in an article
If you use it to often it becomes obvious to google and can affect your ranking. As you can see everyone has a different opinion. Put keyword density in your search bar at the top of your profile page and it will bring up a number of blogs and up to date training on it. Jim

Here at WA we're taught to use it in the title and the first paragraph, then let the rest flow naturally.

If you use the Yoast SEO plugin, they suggest adding it in one subheading and I believe two or three other times.

That said, it is much better to write naturally than try to keep mentioning your keyword 1% of your 3,000 word article. That's mentioning it 30 times.

Personally, I follow Kyle's method and afterwards, when editing and I can add it one or two more times, I do. Because I use the Yoast SEO plugin. I don't focus on the keyword too much because it makes the article kinda weird.

Hi Joey, looking form the outside in there are many different theories amongst the SEO fraternity when it comes to the specific amount of times a keyword should appear in an article.

A common rule of thumb could be 1 to 2 %.

What happens if you load a post with your targeted keyword is that the text can become incoherent, due to the keyword being mentioned so often, a process know as Keyword stuffing.

A process that Google kind of frowns on, mainly because it impacts the readers experience.

So for your Article of 1500 words at a density of say 10%, you would be mentioning your keyword 150 times or 15 times per 100 words.

The text would take on a unnatural flow.

At say 1%, you would be mentioning your keyword one time per 100 words.

This would be tip of the iceberg stuff because there is a lot more to it than this.

Probably the most important thing is where you introduce the keyword if we follow the training here inside of WA we won't go far wrong.

A simple formula to work out the keyword density

- Identify the keyword
- Count the total number of words on the page/post
- Divide the number of times the keyword appears by the page’s
total word count
-Divide the results by 100 to get the percentage.

For example, if a blog post has 1,000 words and a keyword appears 10 times, 1000 / 10 = 100 / by 100 = 1% that means the article has a keyword density of 1%.

Kyle says in the training to put it in your title. Then include it in the first or second paragraph. After that, don't hammer the point. He says to just write about the subject naturally. That's all that is required. If you get too carried away (not sure what the number of times is), the search engines won't think of it as quality. Just spam.

Although I'd love to see this option too, even if it had a small upcharge to the Premium membership, I don't know if it's on WA's future feature list.

Right now, I use a plugin called MailPoet 3 and it works nicely for my needs. You get their Premium offering for free for up to 1000 subscribers. You might want to check them out.

Hey Joey,

Your question did not go to Kyle in a private message. Instead, you have selected an option that posted this in a classroom where all members can come in to answer any of the questions we know how to help with.

Thought it best to let you know rather than ignoring you.

Hope you won't mind my adding my 2¢ worth...
With WA being as all inclusive as it is, with all of the training, access to website hosting servers, keyword searching tool, Carson and Kyle literally have their "plates full" now.

With Aweber already out there providing users with a top-notch autoresponder, they would unnecessarily be adding to their already full plates that COULD end up being too much to handle.

Personally, I find WA sooooo worth the price for the hosting alone, and for me, the learning and community here makes WA priceless.

Hope this helps you.
