Hi,
I run online pharmacies websites. I sell no prescription medicines. But now I want to change the word “no prescription” & want to implement it such a way that it doesn’t look we’re selling no prescription meds.
I tried the following :-
No Prescription hassels
Without Prescription hassels
Please you all give me suggestions what else combination can I try?
“We do not sale prescription medicine” Simple, soft tone.
“We sell a variety of non-prescription medications including…”
There’s many ways to state this depending on what you want to convey. Make it a positive, not a negative:
Exclusively offering under-the-counter medications.
Bringing you the best in non-prescription…
For all of your non-prescription needs
In all cases you may want to follow with a linked popup that explains you only sell this type of medication, for prescription products they should see their doctor.
Sure looks like you are selling prescription medication to me. Are you an affiliate for that destination site, and want to downplay the fact that you are actually supporting the sale of prescription drugs without due care and medical review?
Actually we want the keyword “no prescription” or “without prescription” to appear in the meta tags, but it must be manipulated well. I was thinking for like “Without prescription hassle” or “no prescription headaches” or “no prescription hassle as prescription can be mailed or faxed later on”. This will show like we’re not selling no prescription meds but still the keyword will be there so that the rankings are not affected.
To Sagewing’s point, looking at the sites in your signature you do sell prescription medications – not directly perhaps but that’s splitting hairs. After re-reading your posts a few times I think I understand the use of negatives. You sell “no prescription” as in you don’t require a prescription, not that the drugs are under-the-counter and do not require a prescription, they do – just not from you. But now you want to soften that to appear differently without changing your product.
This being the case, I can only assume you are trying to skirt the US regulations around this practice. If I have misunderstood please correct me.
"The fact is “no prescription” is high ranking keyword and it is very popular among our target customers. But we do not sell any medication without prescription. As an online pharmacy we sell generic medicines prepared by well know pharma companies with proper QA/QC processes that cost a fraction of the branded ones but are equally potent and approved by the FDA. So i hope that clears the confusion if any.
Basically I want to use the keyword “no prescription / without prescription” without making it sound as if we sell meds without prescription.
Surely more appropriate for the SEO forum?
I agree and have moved this thread to the appropriate forum.
So what you are trying to do is target those who would search using the words “no prescription”. However, when they access your site you have nothing to offer them that completes their search.
Bringing in visitors that don’t find value when they access your site erodes your credibility and, sooner or later, the search engines will notice that your bounce rate has risen.
If you want to target this market, give them something of value when the reach your site. You do this by adding content that gives them the reasons why “no prescription” is a bad idea, not by trying to game the search engines. In your content, you add the keyword phrase you want to target. There really is no other way to reach your objective. When you try to game the search engines, you lose.
I agree with your post, except that I think the site is intended to attract people who want to buy prescription meds without a prescription 
So that would be some people who, for whatever reason, want to forgo medical advice and maybe some people who want to save money by buying meds over the internet from a questionable source - but mostly you are trying to attract drug abusers I think.
Who me? I ain’t tryin’ to attract anyone. I’m taken.

Google keyword suggestion tool.
How would they do that and why would it matter?
Simply not true, plenty of people are making a ton of money from gaming the search engines. Why esle would google be engaged in a non-stop battle against manipulation.
I don’t know how significant a factor it is, but I’m sure Google can tell if you click a link from the search results, and then a minute later come back and click a different link, and I think it’s pretty likely they’ve done some analysis of what interval between clicks is most likely to suggest that the person has looked at the website and not found what they were after so returned to the search results.
Yeah, that is a good idea. Will try to implement in one of the sites and see how it works out. Thanks for the suggestion.
And if they could what would that tell them? If CTR is a ranking signal then I’m going to pay some service to have my link clicked on several thousand times and then left open, or a competitor’s clicked on and then left immediately.
I strongly doubt that CTR and time on site are rankings signals, it’s just way too easy to skew and not accurate. I regularly have several browser tabs going and may have a site open all day without having been past the home page. And what about one or two page sites that sort out the visitors requirements quickly so they leave quickly. Does that mean they’re not good sites?
Is there any logic that would support CTR and time on site being ranking signals?
