Nick Eubanks
Follow @nick_eubanks
The first post in this week’s round-up comes from Nick Eubanks, who has taken an in-depth look at an maximising keyword spread, something which he described as being similar to a condor approach – looking to limit risk whilst increasing profit, or in this case, keyword opportunities.
This post runs through several examples of how maximising keyword spread can prove to be fruitful in the SERPs, and offers vast amounts of insight in to how you can actually go about developing this process yourself.
During this process, Nick speaks about how you should conduct a proper keyword performance audit, utilise your site’s hierarchy to pass relevance, as well as use similar content in place of products, all with the endgame being to rank for as many fruitful keywords as you possibly can. This is a truly superb post, and is certainly a highly valuable resource to have.

Each landing page is discected, with each of it’s feature noted and reviewed, and any areas which are deemed unnecessary/poorly done are offered ways to improve upon them.
