Yahoo Directory! Is it worth Paying $299 for? Is this going to help you be better indexed. Will it help your site over all beside having one link?

How can you be creative? Where do you go to try to find good links worth $300 worth. Any suggestions?

If you have $299 in your budget for a good link, then sure. It's not the worst way to spend $299 as far as SEO is concerned.

If you're pretty creative and on a shoestring, you can probably do something really awesome with $299, and then create original content out of it, and you'll have a better chance of getting a variety of links from different domains that don't cost you an extra dime and last for a longer time. But that's certainly more work.

What the secret for Bing and Yahoo

I guess you guys will probably think me a complete airhead, but I've been so focused on obtaining traffic from Google that I completely forgot about Bing and Yahoo. Moz Analytics shows that 99% of my organic traffic comes from Google, 1% from Bing (up by 67% from last week!?) and 0% from Yahoo and baidu. Just wanted to check a couple of things. Is this poor performance due to any lack on my behalf Or are these search engines used? I'm kind of thinking that if I can obtain multiple page one phrases with Google; why isn't this replicated by the other search engines? And if there are opportunities available how do I optimise my pages for them And if I do, will this affect my Google rankings Cheers in advance, Lee 🙂

How to redirect subdomain to new blog directory

I have moved my wordpress blog from a subdomain to a subdirectory /blog/ on my site. What is the best way to setup a redirect from the subdomain to the new /blog/ directory? Or should I just delete the subdomain blog and wait for google to index it on /blog/. I need to do one or the other so as not to run into duplicate content issues.

Is it still worth changing a url with half the pages target keyphrase in to the entire phrase still ?

Hi If a pages url has half the pages target keyphrase (i.e. 1 word instead of 2) is it still worth changing to include entire keyphrase (2 words) given need to then add 301 redirects etc after ? If it was a new page then I would definately include full keyphrase but the page is a few months old and has quite high page authority as is (i know a 301 should transfer most authority) but given this page and other sub pages would also need to be 301'd if this change occurs and the dev time/cost that would incurred/charged by the design/dev agency. Also thinking Google being cleverer now (the pages content will be about the target kw) so thinking G would work it out from rest of page content and partial match kw in url. In other words to best target keyphrase is it best to leave url as is or change url to include keyphrase ? For example if the pages target kw is 'swimming clubs' and the current url is www.franksleisurecentres.com/clubs changing it to www.franksleisurecentres.com/swimming-clubs :Thanks Dan

Email in Local Search Directory Listings

Hi! I am relatively new to the world of SEO . . . let's say I'm still testing the waters. My role is at the company I work for is Local Search Specialist. I'm claiming/verifying/publishing listings for my employer's clients in attributing search directories. Yada yada yada. You guys are pros. Anyway, I have become apprehensive when listing a client's email in directories besides Google Places. I know that content matching between the client's website, Places, and attributing directories is a must; but spam is the worst. I'm trying to avoid spammers and sketchy directories contact the clients with sales pitches via email as much as possible. Should I create an additional email specifically for these directory listings and keep tabs to see if real people are using it as a means of contact? Not list the email at all? What should I do?!?!?!?!?!?!? Any insight/words of wisdom is appreciated!

Can you recommend a few resources for Yahoo SEO

We get very little traffic from Yahoo Search and it seems only 15%-20% of our pages are indexed by Yahoo and Bing although we do submit sitemaps to both of them. Do you have some tips or resources (articles, blogs, books) you could recommend for Yahoo Search optimization?

Directory Structure

Hi, We are creating a new content directory for online courses hosted on our site. Like a typical directory, we have high level categories and then more granular subcategories. A course will typically only be in one high level category and then multiple subcategories. What would be the best URL structure for an individual course? Should we force users to pick one 'master' subcategory that gets included in their URL? Or should we just not include the subcategory at all in the URL? Right now we've been thinking about: OurUrl.com/upper-category/sub-category/course-title or OurUrl.com/upper-category/course-title
