How do I help an author of family histories and biography's reach her niche's
-
Please have a look at this site for me http://www.louisewilson.com.au/ louise also has about six blogs on different books she has written. She has sold a few thousand copies which is great and has help people find out where they came from.
Not many of these people have linked to her site's and she is not getting the traffic she deserve's for lots of long tail keywords and some broader ones.
What simple on page changes can she make and what would be the best broader keyword's to go after.
What would a good strategy be she has a very small ( tiny ) budget but can write and is enthusiastic , It's also a great way for her to be involved with people who are interested in simalar thing's.
Oh yeah she has never used facebook of social networks how could she effectivly market her books and engage with potential reader's.
Thanks in advance Oh and by the way Im not getting paid to help her Just incase you think i'm trying to get you to do my work for me. I just think this is an interesting case.
I do do sales for an IT and SEO company but she is not one of our clients.
So far I have just explained to her about keywords in titles meta tags and internal linking and just explained to her a bit about link building. But really need some help thanks very much.
PS was this question too long?

Hi Mate,
The site needs a few touch ups I can see some SEO considerations that need help.
I would also advise to link all the sites up so people can cross buy products.
Furthermore I would also advise on Forums and message boards where people are talking about books and this type of niche.
I would also do some keyword research around this area, see what you can use to optimize the sites.
Another niche idea if you are limited on money is to find other bloggers in the space and say you will make content for them if you link back to the sales site, it is a easy way to build traffic and links. I have seen some niche book sites around.
Hope this helps.

Moz authority. Should this be taken as just a guideline.
Hi Guys. We have an opportunity to get a back link from a charity site...the site of "Friends of Richmond park'. I've just checked it out in open site explorer and Moz grades it's domain authority as 25/100. However, looking in more detail the site has gained quite a few high authority links, both in terms of DA and PA. Many of these links are reciprocal i.e) Friends of Richmond park have links to sites which also link back to them. So i'm wondering... should the 25/100 DA be taken as a basic guideline? Or is this quite a sophisticated measure that has taken into consideration the reciprocal links and 'downgraded' them as Google might? Isaac.

Low Page Authority for key landing pages
Hi guys - I am struggling to understand why I have a Page Authority of 1 (!) for most of my key product landing pages. All of them are linked to directly from the Homepage, which has PA 46 and DA 40. Many of them are also linked to from high ranking external sites. Less valuable pages on the site, with far fewer links, seem to have much higher PA. For some reason these just don't seem to be registering the link juice which is flowing to them. In fact, OSE doesn't seem to register any links for them - perhaps this is the biggest clue? I am at a bit of a loss. Some of these pages still rank highly for relevant keywords on Google. But something clearly isn't quite right. Has anyone experienced similar?

Why is my domain authority so low?
Hello, a couple of years ago I started publishing on my site more than 10 posts a day of content that no one else had. For this reason, my competitors started paraphrasing my content without giving proper attribution, and they ranked better in Google. That's why I realized that apart from creating content I had to work on my SEO, so I started to get some backlinks, most of them via contests on blogs. I am getting about 1 high quality link from PR2, PR3 or PR4 blogs each week. According to Open Site Explorer, I have 20 root domain links (200 total links). In reality I have more backlinks but they don't show up (they do show up in Ahrefs, about 50 root domains). To my surprise, I only have 15 Domain Authority. This is the most evident example, take a look at this screenshot: http://imgur.com/dFk2rkx My website is on the far left, two of my competitors on the right. As you can see I win every category except total links and the most important, domain authority. Are total links that important for Domain authority, even if 99% are internal? By the way, I also have more posts than these guys, I don't know why the report says otherwise. Why is the site on the right ranking so high? The same thing happens with the rest of my competitors, they have a lot of low quality links from "lists of domain sites" and in general a lot of very spammy links. According to what I have been reading, my good quality links should be more helpful than my competitors' spammy links, which should in fact affect them. So what is going on? I have no idea if I'm doing things right. Why is my domain authority so low? Thanks for your help. dFk2rkx

Decent SERP site sending 1000's of links to your website?
I've spent most of this summer trying to clean up my link profile, most links I've never requested myself, they just appear. Here's a question, www.allworldlinks.com appear to have a decent page authority but they are bombarding my site with hundreds of links, I now have over 12,000 from them. This is not good I guess?

SEOmoz's ranking of links on competitor question..
I am Perplexed about SEOmoz crawl for new links on a competitors website. When I looked at a company who received very high ranks for the links...on SEOMoz...such as. 95, 96, 97 etc..... I couldn't figure out how they ranked so high. One company bought 20 links for a couple hundred dollars and all of them were ranked very high on SEOmoz but when I used the page rank tool on them individually they were either "0" or "1" and none were over a 2. I was debating submitting for those since I am just starting out and wanted to get our name listed in the internet world. Are the high rankings by SEOmoz related to something else? Would I be better off buying a listing in some of the premium directories instead. Like Yahoo or BBB or Manta. ( After I get my site optimized first) Thank you, Greg
