In a case like this @Ross Sedawie, I would say don't try to out clever yourself. If the majority of the top ranking pages are a combination of informational and commercial, then that's how I would structure my pages as well. It makes a lot of sense on a broader term like that. You really don't know if a person is looking to buy a black opal or if they are looking for a wiki style page to learn about where black opals come from.

My vision for the The SEO Pub Community is To Become the largest, most well-respected SEO community on the planet. Obviously, as I write this, we are a long way from that goal. It’s a big goal. I believe that in order for one to succeed in business you first must help others to succeed. I hope that comes across in my contributions both in the public and private areas of the community. For this place to become what I envision it becoming, it cannot just be me that feels that way. We need other marketers contributing their knowledge and experiences to help the membership too. I have always found that by helping others it keeps me thinking about what I am doing in my own business, and it grows as a result. Our membership is always going to be full of marketers of different levels of experience and skills. There will always be members brand new to internet marketing and members who have been doing this for 10+ years. All are welcome here, and I hope that all participate in the community. The type of member that I hope to attract and foster here are ones that are really serious about building, growing, and maintaining an online business. I hope you read the Being a Better Member thread and take it to heart. Sometimes being an internet marketer can be a bit lonely. Often times it is just you and your computer. It does not have to be that way. Here we will have a TEAM of marketers pulling in the same direction, helping one another to achieve their dreams and success. T-ogether E-veryone A-cheives M-ore Welcome to our community.

Looks like there may have been another Google update this week...

Feel free to introduce yourself in this thread. Tell us about who you are and how you got here.

Hi all, I own a series of websites, one of them being www.opalauctions.com and I have been doing work on website structure and really trying to understand how I can satisfy different search intents with keywords. I want to run through an example that I have been going through that hopefully I can get some help with. Seed keyword: Black Opal short tail, big search volume Information Intent keywords: What is black Opal, black opal meaning, black opal properties etc -> We did have these answered pretty successfully in our blogs (URL /learn) Sales intent keywords: Black Opal for sale, loose Black Opal etc -> We usually rank well for these on our sales pages, but recently have been dropping in rank. When I go to SEMRush, and when I look at SERP's, the term "Black Opal" is shown as both Commercial and Information. However, in the actual SERP's the pages that are doing well are sales pages, not informational page. The sales pages that look to be ranking well, all seem to have both products and informational on the same page. This would be a good example: https://blackopaldirect.com/category/opal/black-opal/ It seems to me like Google is not really sure of the intent of the short tail keyword "Black Opal" so it just tries to deliver pages that contain info and products to satisfy the end user. So my question is, what sort of structure should I be looking at going forward a) Separate sales and information pages that share the same seed keyword. I feel like if I do this, then I wont be in the running to rank for the keyword "Black Opal" since my sales page would be thin on information content b) Create a single sales page that has everything on it. Products, information, FAQ's. I am seeing this type of things for just about every keyword in my niche. Emerald, Ruby, tanzanite etc. And the sites that rank the highest, don't have a separate blog section that talks about each of the stones individually. Would love to hear thoughts and thank you in advance PS. Thanks Mike for making this forum!

Indexing is not as hard as people make it out to be. This is after about 60 days with limited resources.
