New keyword = new page?
Hi there.
My client has expressed they want to now optimise for a new keyword. This keyword isnt a main search term (according to google analytical) but I still want to add it.
So do I create a new page for the term, add content specific for that term etc, or change the existing homepage and add this extra aditional keyword?
Im sort of swaying to the idea of idea number one, creating a new page, that way i get extra content at the same time..

Your question is a bit vague. Is the new keyword related the the content on the home page? Does it fit naturally into the home page?
Its not an either/or senerio necessarily. ie if you do funnerals and now want to promote weddings thats one thing. If you do fishing trips and now want to sell accomidation at the site of the trip thats another...

Cheers for the reply. Well its based on clothing for example, so this is just another term for it basically, so yes it is still very much related to the site as a whole, and the content.
The main keywords that are searched for to reach the site have been optimised, so i can now either add an extra keyword, or as I say, make a new relevant page for this new keyword.

I would add a small section on your homepage about the new product with a link to the new page you will create with much more content, then I would try to rank that page separately for that term and not your homepage with back links. BTW the homepage edit is for better conversion and or increased sales for that item, not SEO purposes, yet it may prove to have some benefit.
After recent posts from others and recent trial and error I have concluded that minor edits to a home page's content are ok as long as you are not removing content or moving content too much and to be safe not throwing off the main KWD by more than .025% (an estimate).

You should go along with your second option because doing this you will have a fresh content in which you can put your new keyword and most of the search engine give more importance to the fresh content. It helps in crawling your page.....
