How else to find backlinks for training site
-
Hello,
How would you recommend finding and gaining backlinks for
nlpca(dot)com
other than looking at the top 10 competitors?
Also, we could do an infographic but the owners don't have time to produce a lot of additional articles.
Thanks!

I'd also recommend checking out the SEOmoz articles on Link Building to give you some ideas http://www.seomoz.org/blog/category/4.

Bob,
OSE and Link Finder are 2 amazing and useful tools, you should definitely check them out.
Although I think that the number one link building strategy that always works and always pays off is content, actually quality content.
I think you are in a quite interesting niche and with the programs that you offer you could pulled a lot of high quality content that you can then spread through the social media channels.

I would literally search everything under the sun re: topics I noticed on your homepage. I.e.:
- training
- certification
- wealth
- hypnosis
There's gotta be tons of bloggers on most of these topics on top of associations or organizations as well. There's probably even directories and forums specific to all these topics and so I would scour those as well. Start with the basic searches on the broad topics and then start going down tangents.
You can find some gold in those hills, if you travel far enough...

Yes, try to find the backlinks for your competition...not just the top 10 competition for your top term. Use other keywords to see if the same set of websites ranking. I am sure there will be other niche sites ranking for some of your long tail keywords or something. Look at their backlinks as well. I would also sometimes try to look into the backlinks of the backlinks to see if I can find any opportunities.

I've used OSE on the top 10 competitors. But I'll check out the competitive link finder.

Bob-
Have you used the SEOMOZ tools on the site. Opensite explorer and competitive link finder under research tools is a great place to start. It will give you detail much deeper than the top 10 competitors. I find that the more time I spend on SEOMOZ, the more value I get.....not just "brown nosing" these guys. No affiliation.
Happy seomozing.

Site Migration - Pagination
Hi, We are migrating our website and an issue we are facing is how to handle paginated content in our categories. Our new website will have the same structure but with different urls. Should we 301 redirect all the paginated content (if crawled by Google) to the url of the main category? To put this into an example: Old urls: www.example.com/technology/tvs (main category of TVs & also page 1) ** www.example.com/technology/tvs?v=0&page=2 ** ( page 2 of TVs) New urls: **www.example.com/soundvision/tvs **(main category of TVs & also page 1) **www.example.com/soundvision/tvs?page=2 **(page 2 of tvs) Should we redirect all of the old TV urls (also the paginated) to www.example.com/soundvision/tvs ? The is no rel next, prev tag in our site and no canonicals. Also there is a view all products page in each category, BUT it doesn't contain all the products(max. is 100 per page - yes the view all page is also paginated). The same view all products page (paginated) will exist in the new website also. I checked google search console, and Google has decided to treat as canonical page the first page www.example.com/technology/tvs . Also, all the organic traffic of our categories goes to these pages (main category page - 1st page). I would appreciate any thoughts on this.

Ajax tabs on site
Hello, On a webpage I have multiple tabs, each with their own specific content. Now these AJAX/JS tabs, if Google only finds the first tab when the page loads the content would be too thin. What do you suggest as an implementation? With Google being able to crawl and render more JS nowadays, but they deprecated AJAX crawling a while back. I was maybe thinking of doing a following implementation where when JS is disabled, the tabs collapse under each other with the content showing. With JS enabled then they render as tabs. This is usually quite a common implementation for tabbed content plugins on Wordpress as well. Also, Google had commented about that hidden/expandable content would count much less, even with the above JS fix. Look forward to your thoughts on this. Thanks, Conrad

Bad site migration - what to do!
Hi Mozzers - I'm just looking at a site which has been damaged by a very poor site migration. Basically, the old URLs were 301'd to a page on the new website (not a 404) telling everyone the page no longer existed. They did not 301 old pages to equivalent new pages. So I just checked Google WMT and saw 1,000 crawl errors - basically the old URLs. This migration was done back in February, since when traffic to the website has never recovered. Should I fix this now? Is it worth implementing the correct 301s now, after such a timelapse?

Link juice site structure?
If we have a top nav with contact us, about us, delivery, FAQ, Gallery, how to order ect but none of these we want to rank and then we have the usual left hand nav.are we wasting juice with the top nav and would we be better either removing it and putting them further down the page or consolidating them and adding an extra products tab so the product pages are first.

After Receiving a "Googlebot can't access your site" would this stop your site from being crawled?
Hi Everyone,
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | AMA-DataSet
A few weeks ago now I received a "Googlebot can't access your site..... connection failure rate is 7.8%" message from the webmaster tools, I have since fixed the majority of these issues but iv noticed that all page except the main home page now have a page rank of N/A while the home page has a page rank of 5 still. Has this connectivity issues reduced the page ranks to N/A? or is it something else I'm missing? Thanks in advance.0 -
H2 Tag Backlink - is this safe?
I have found that my site is getting a link from a good site, but my concern is that the link is in a H2 tag in the footer of the front page of the site Would getting a link from a site wrapped in H2 tags be safe? The anchor is my sites brand name

How To Best Close An eCommerce Site?
We're closing down one of our eCommerce sites. What is the best approach to do this? The site has a modest link profile (a young site). It does have a run of site link to the parent site. It also has a couple hundred email subscribers and established accounts. Is there a gradual way to do this? How do I treat the subscribers and account holders? The impact won't be great, but I want to minimize collateral damage as much as possible. Thanks.
