Pinterest is a nice SEO tool for sure. I've found that by listing new products and articles, you do gain new links from Pinterest while also capturing the attention of potential customers. It's a different audience than Google+ or Twitter, and a very active audience similar to that of Facebook. It seems to reach a slightly older crowd.

Thanks Matt.
I think the key to pinterest for ecommerce is to mix up our own product images and graphical creations along with other products that could compliment your range. Obviously having great product photography helps massively.
(ooh I can feel a youmoz post coming on!)...

Sounds like a good suggestion to me and if it works for hangers then I think you must be on to a winner. I haven't used Pinterest much, but I think your recent post on the blog is a good example of its potential - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/a-small-success-story-inspired-by-seomoz-and-its-contributors

I've found Pinterest to be really useful as A social networking site, a link building tool and a resource to gain targeted traffic.
-
Cheers Aran, you are right maybe I should have spelled that one out a bit more, however I envisaged and have found from personal experience that when creating content on your site you would need to share links to that content to your social networks (this is the exposure part) and then this will bring you likes, tweets and also links from other sites.
In utilising social networking as an effective way of gaining exposure for your content you will always gain your likes, tweets, etc if carried out effectively don't you think?
I guess the important thing here is to make sure you have enabled social sharing on your sites pages!
You are also right this will be a long process but anything worth having always takes time and effort.
-
Agreed with Matt, but surely social signals are going to be in play too. Encourage social sharing of your pages and the links, G+'s, Likes and tweets will follow, then the Page rank will flow.
Get comfortable as its going to be a long process though!
Best of luck.

Hi Jack,
To increase your Domain and Page Authority you need to increase links to your website and in particular your homepage if you want to increase that specifically. To do this you need to think how can you create some decent content that is link worthy and then you need to make sure it gains exposure so that it will start to gain links. There are lots of ways that you can increase your link profile using things such as:
- In depth product reviews,
- A blog (consider encouraging and rewarding guest bloggers that are authorities in your niche as they will have a strong, relevant following),
- How to videos in relation to your products and how they might come in when carrying out a task for instance,
- Content curation is also an idea (some decent articles on this on SEOMoz).
Now for the exposure; best place to start is to build up your social networks and start to interact and form relationships with people that are likely to have an interest in your products, in particular those that are authorities in your niche/product area. Then when you have built relationships with them you can expose them to your new content, which will then hopefully get passed on to their social following and through this you will start to gain links and more attention slowly establishing yourself as an authority in the process - win win situation!
If you do this and work hard at it your DA and PA will increase as you want it to. Just remember that when you are building links in a post penguin world don't over do the anchor text and always go for quality links over quantity, don't start using dangerous methods, such as forum signature and blog comments. Hope this helps - Good Luck!

Really, what are the benefits of creating a Google Brand page for an e-commerce site?
We have a jewellery store client who already have a Google My Business page set up for its store front business. Should we also create a Google Brand page for its e-commerce site (which has a different business name to the jewellery store)? This client already has a pretty robust Facebook profile. Is it worth it maintaining a Brand page then - since it targets Google plus users?

How to measure adwords campaing success on an non ecommerce/leads website
Hello,
Branding | | teconsite
We have a website of a furniture company that runs an Adwords campaign. This company has a lot of distributors. They have several objetives: people explore the online catalog people visit the distributor page (where they can find the nearest distributor in his/her area) people share the pictures and info in social media. (For example: pictures in pinterest) people watch videos new distributors contact them to be a new distributor and so on. As this is not an eccommerce website they can not buy We have created objectives in analytics to meassure those engament results.
My question is how to measure this in Google Adwords...
If I import GA objetives into adwords, I get conversions rates of 350% and even more, and the number of conversions is to high. For example. If one objetive is to visit Distributors page (the one where users can see a map and search for the nearest distributor), I find with a lot of conversions of this type. I was thinking in importing some objectives and giving them a value in $ and instead of evaluating conversion rates, evaluate ROAS. But I really would like to know, what you are doing with this kind of companies. How do you measure the campaign success when most of the objetives are measuring engagement. Please, could you give me any advice? Thank you!0 -
Which domain/subdomain strategy would be better?
I have multiple subdomain based news website. Each subdomain is in the format languge1.newsdomain.com, language2.newsdomain.com etc. These are not mere translation of one site into another but giving content tailored for the language and culture of the audience it serves. In essence they are related but different. When it comes to "english" I have two options. Option1. Create english.newsdomain.com using the same format and use the main www.newsdomain.com as a launching pad (navigation site) which allows the user to choose language and goto appropriate site. This gives the advantage of creating a common brand of newsdomain.com for all languages. There won't be any other content on this www.newsdomain.com Option2. Use www.newsdomain.com for english content and only allow the list of other sites as footer or part of menu. This gives the advantage of having main domain with content (and links and other benefits) but makes it a bit difficult for users who do not speak english, to find their destination. Any thoughts which is better or worse?

The pros and cons of subdomain or new domain for a new brand?
Hi there Moz experts, We're launching a new brand and product offering for a completely different audience than we've worked with before. We're expected a significant amount of business to come from inbound marketing, so we're wondering whether we should launch the new brand as a subdomain of the parent company or as a completely separate domain. The parent company's website has thousands of inbound links and is over 10 years old, so I'm thinking in the short term it would be easier to get new content ranked there. However, in the long term I think it would be better for the new brand to have a separate TLD. Thoughts or other things I should consider? Thanks!

Is this the current recommendation for hyphen(s) in domain name?
Let's say your customers company name in the real world is "Foo Bar Baz Inc." and if it is read (and understood) as "foobarbaz inc." by someone hearing the name it does also make semantically sense (like "Dog Food Market"). Customer owns a lot of domain combinations, but notably foobarbaz.com foo-bar-baz.com Would you recommend to dedicate "foobarbaz.com" as main brand and domain for all SEO efforts and do the proper redirects from the other domains? Or would you do it the other way around, redirecting to the foo-bar-baz.com domain? Thanks!

How do can I compete with 60-80 Domain Authority?
As the title says, how can I compete with competitors that have a domain authority of 60-80? (Only around 2-3 major competitors) However I would like to compete with them. Is anyone else in this situation? What did you do? I've read a lot about building backlinks etc etc but surely theres more to it. I've got to rank 1500+ subcategories for my niche and it's nearly impossible to do so. Thanks to all who reply!

Domain Authority Mind = Blown
Hi guys, I've focused on building my domain authority for a while now, it's stll low but i'm sure it'll increase. My competitors have 0 backlinks to most of there products which is good, i guess. However they have a domain authority of around 70-80. Which is really high. There product pages get a page authority from 60-70+ which means they rank very high with no backlinks. I can easily out rank them by getting backlinks but it's a very time consuming and costs quite a bit of money to out source it. My question is... is it really all about page/domain authority? I can't see any other factors that allow them to rank high for the products. Also my mind is blown as you can create a blog with a high Domain authority such as Wordpress but that doesn't mean your blog will instantly rank high right? Is there something i'm missing with there website? I'm so confused right now! Any help would be great. Main competitor is: http://www.stinkyinkshop.co.uk along with http://www.cartridgesave.co.uk (Stinkyink to be a member here actually)

I need to get my hands on some already registered domains?!?
Hi Guys & Gals, There are a couple of already registered domains i'd like to get my hands on, but i'm coming up against a brick wall. I have already tried contacting the domain owners directly if there contact info is available through whois and tried using a domain brokerage service from the likes of SEDO to try and acquire the domain on my behalf...but they seem to only work they have solid whois contact info to use. My problem is that where do I turn now after the above routes failing? Are there any good domain brokerage services you are aware off or any other approach I could try to aquire such domains?? Thanks James
