Warrior Forum, Is it good for seo?
-
The Warrior Forum just changed there membership from free to paid. They have do follow attributes but I was wondering what peoples take is on joining them for both learning and seo purposes?
-
Agreed with everyone above. I started there as well and got fed up with the "overnight results, push-button easy!".
There are some smart people with good stuff on there, but too much to wade through to find it.
Your time is much better spent on SEOmoz, in my opinion

Skip it.
You feel like taking a shower after spending time on this site.
Seems to be mostly a bunch of small-time sleazebags trying to con each other into spending a few bucks of marketing guides that provide...
Secret Tips!

There may be a little worthwhile info on the site, but it's a very bad neighborhood, IMHO.

Like others have said, you have to wade through a lot of noise to find the nuggets of good content on the Warrior Forum. However, the paid forum has a better S/N ratio than the free forum, and it's a fairly inexpensive one-time fee to join, so I think it's a pretty good deal. I am personally a member.

SEOmoz FTW!

I completely agree with Ben.
You can find a lot of useful info on the Warrior forums and there are some really good SEO's on there but you often have to wade through a lot of misleading information to get to the real pearls of wisdom. I probably wouldn't pay for acces to it either.

Hi Joel,
I used to spend a ton of time on the Warrior forum. Every once in a while there is a worthwhile discussion, but mostly people are looking to sell their products. When I first became interested in SEO, I even bought a few of their guides. And while they were not completely useless, most of them didn't tell me anything that I could not have learned for free on a blog.
I personally would not pay for being a member of the Warrior Forum. In the Post-Penguin world, many of the tactics expoused there are not only useless, but can be detrimental to the health of your websites. Maybe I am painting with too broad a brush, but there it is.

You can learn a lot.
But what you'll learn is probably a lot different from what you'll hear on SEOMoz.
I wouldn't want to say that one is right and one is wrong but right now I wouldn't pay for access to Warrior Forums.

When optimizing for a keyword, what would be a good ratio for keyword diversity?
We all have primary keywords that we are optimizing for. For instance one of mine is "Video Conferencing Systems." I've read that you should have about 5-10 different keywords you should optimize for, however, would you want to create more links with your primary keyword than your other keywords or spread them out evenly and optimize for the primary keyword on in the actual content of the page?

Purchasing local domains for SEO
Hi, I'm considering buying domains to help build our SEO traffic. But, I'm looking for some advice on whether or not this can hurt us. For example, if our site is www.brandname.com and the site is all about online education, would it beneficial for us to purchase a local domain like education.boston.com and optimize with unique content so we can point back to our own site (if "education boston" is a high volume keyword)? Thanks!

How long should does it take before I see SEO results?
I am thinking about launching a website connected to Christmas - which gives me less then 2 months to develop and begin ranking for the site. Is this too short a timeframe and I should put off this plan until next year or can I actually begin ranking for low competitive keywords within my timeframe.

Fresh ideas on SEO budget spending
I have a client who is willing to spend an additional 5k into his SEO campaign. I was curious if anyone has any other ideas on spending this in terms of link building. Human edited directories work really well and i have seen some huge successes. Unfortunately i have gotten stuck in purchasing these and would like some fresh ideas. Content is a no brainier.

Seo using images
I have a client that creates a lot of custom jewelry and takes pictures of it. They've been reluctant to part with it for fear of competitors stealing their designs, but I was able to finally wrastle them into submission and get them to release 30+ original images. I had some ideas about it, but I was wondering if you guys could help me brainstorm doing some linkbuilding using these images. 1. tag them all on pinterest 2. create a slideshow using them and upload to slidesharing sites 3. create a flickr account and upload all the images 4. search for other image/slideshare gallery sites and upload to them. (I welcome any suggestions regarding this). Any other suggestions for submissions? I was also thinking of creating some written content around each image. What type of web properties would be best for for example a FAQ about custom made emerald rings, or other types of jewelry.

Paid Directories and On-page Keyword SEO
I have a new website and I am getting ready to submit to a few paid directories to get my links started. I wanted to optimize my domain name/keywords for those directories and also for my on page SEO. My domain contains my keywords. For example "www.horsebuggy.net Questions: #1 Should I target the horsebuggy.net in my on-page SEO or just target horse buggy? #2 When I submit to a paid directory which should I choose for my company name. (I currently have a DBA for each term....for ex.. horse buggy and horsebuggy.net . Thank you, Boo
