Do you have a static page for your homepage? Or just recent posts?

Thanks.

    That depends on wether its a niche site or an authority site. If a niche, most times, its the most recent post...but I make the post sticky and its the post that is targeting my primary keyword.

    If its an authority site, I "tend" to prefer to use the latest posts.

      I'm curious, for your niche sites, do you have more than one post targeting your primary keyword?

      For example, you have two posts targeting the same three keywords: 1 Main and 2 LSI's.

      What do you think about that?


      Thanks.

        Main post targets primary. 5-7 other posts target related and LSI. You should also vary your anchor text and do some deep linking.

    Heavily optimized static page.

    I have an optimized static page on one site and top five posts on another. The top five posts is doing better in the rankings, but there are a large number of factors besides homepage that could be causing that (competition, content, age, backlinks).

    It depends on the type of site I'm building. I am funneling traffic through some of my sites, and others I am getting them to rank directly. However, most of mine have the recent post on the homepage.

    Whatever you decide, static or latest posts, you want a lot of content on there. You'll pull in all kinds of long tail as well if you have 2,000+ words of content on that front page.
