Has Anyone Used Boostability?
-
Looking into Boostabilty as an option for doing SEO for our clients, will still keep SEOmoz and will still be doing SEO for our own company. Has anyone used it or heard things about it? I am very skeptical when it comes to outsourcing SEO and when it comes to any kind of automated SEO but thought I'd ask if anyone had thoughts on it.
Thanks,
Holly

Just a quick note that all links in Q&A are nofollowed.

My only experience with them is getting e-mails from Disqus when they've added another generic comment to my blog, linking to a competitor. This has happened about a dozen times over the past several years, so they either do this a lot, or happen to work in my niche a lot (which, by the way, is usually well behind the curve in the digital marketing realm).
They might do fantastic work in other realms, but this alone would preclude my ever working with or recommending them.

Great response Danaglenn! Can you send me some of your program info? I might have a couple people that could use your assistance. Yes, I'm being totally serious.

It is not my intention to begin an argument and I’m sure it was not your intention either. I am glad that you began your previous post with, “First off, I've never used their service, so I don't have any facts.” However, I did feel misrepresented by your first post. I hope I can just clarify my previous response.
- The slash at the end of the code is for tracking purposes. Add "/anything" and it will resolve. This is a common and accepted method of tracking affiliates and resellers.
- You claimed slim content, which I feel is untrue about our site as whole. I get that the term "slim" is relative, but it should be understood that some pages are bound to be shorter, depending on the purpose of the page. The goal with the content is to get them to read and call. Not overload our target audience, small business clients, with information they don't want. That particular page is mostly marketing copy, and serves its intended purpose. But with 60+ pages on the site, there are many pages that are NOT slim content.
- The 3rd point was taken out of context, as our claim for was results was"6/9 keywords in the top 5 results, 9/9 on first two pages." Being in the 4th spot for that keyword, this holds true. The rank for that client is appropriate based on their monthly spend monthly spend, time spent optimizing, and the client's goals. This client insisted that we target additional keywords because they were so thrilled with what we were able to do.
- We don’t link out because it's not good marketing practice to send potential clients to other websites, away from the site we designed to help build our client base.
Holly, thanks for your interest. We’d love to have the opportunity to show you what we offer.

"Most of what the previous poster is not true."
- Two versions of website
- Very slim content
- See link above
- Only rank #4 for the main keyword...
- See attached
- Don't link out at all
- Who do you link out to?
I'm not sure where I was dishonest.

First off, I've never used their service, so I don't have any facts.
However, this is what I caught right away:
- two versions of website ( .com and .com/)
- Very slim content that only talks about importance
- Only rank #4 for the main keyword in first case study (43/100 difficulty level)
- Don't link out at all (Minus BBB)

Does it make sense to buy a domain to be used in a year or so?
Hi guys We all know domain age is a big win in domain authority, although I am thinking - does it make sense to buy a domain to be used later on for one of our future product lines? We can publish some content on it, link it from a few sites, however use it heavily after a year? All help will be much appreciated! Lily

Using "Read More" buttons as a tool to cram in Content
Hi Mozzers! Let's say our website is clean, professional, and minimalistic. Can we use a "read more" button that will expand the text on the page to increase the amount of content while (unless clicked) not impacting the appearance? I want to make sure I am not violating Google Webmaster's guidelines for "Hidden Text" Thanks!

Can obfuscated Javascript be used for too many links on a page?
Hi mozzers Just looking for opinions/answers on if it is ever appropriate to use obfuscated Javascript on links when a page has many links but they need to be there for usability? It seems grey/black hat to me as it shows users something different to Google (alarm bells are sounding already!) BUT if the page has many links it's losing juice which could be saved....... Any thoughts appreciated, thanks.
