How do I find a cost-effective solution for Infographic deve?
-
I am trying to get an infographic produced from end to end. The problem is, I work for a startup and finances are tight. I have looked at agencies, but they want atleast 2.5k for 1 single infographic. Any advice?

If you have the time, you can do one yourself too. Check out http://infogr.am/. They setup a couple of cool templates and you fill everything in. It's actually pretty fun to do too!

Hi Rand,
His portfolio is here: http://www.design.evasilev.com/
Overall, his work is good. However, the amount of hours you are willing to allow will determine how detailed/customized he can get. In addition, definitely have all of your information in a thorough project brief so you don't run up charges clarifying the data.
You may also be interested in a recent post by Jon Cooper on infographics: http://pointblankseo.com/visualizations He has good tips on creating one on a budget, finding data, and promotion.
Good luck to you!

David,
I appreciate the feedback, I will take your advice. $500-$800 sounds far more reasonable.
How would you rate Zhenia Vasiliev work?
Regards,
Rand

Thanks Igor, I will do that!

I agree with the two posts above. Also, here is a great example of a unique, interactive inforgraphic:

Hi Rand,
Try elance.com <- bunch of elancers that will do it much cheaper. I've never used them for infographics but I did use them for a lot of the other stuff. Just make sure you read their reviews and negotiate all terms upfront.
or
http://visual.ly/ <- its all about infographics

I have used an oDesk provider named Zhenia Vasiliev to have high-quality infographics produced in the price range of $500 to $800. He lives in the UK so communication is easy, but he can be a little late when it comes to deadlines. I would steer clear of most of the cheap designers on the freelance sites though -- a lot of them are just using programs like piktochart and communication can be a headache.
Regardless of what option you decide on, make sure that the infographic presents awesome information in a unique way that your target user base will enjoy. Right now the Internet is flooded with crappy infographics and there is nothing inherently magical about them. Good luck!

Is there a good tool for finding Duplicate Content?
Hi! Are there any recommendation voor Duplicate Content finder tools? Is it offered on MOZ (not the one that belongs to 'seo issues') or a different site?

How do you find your ideas for content
Morning Mozzers, We have finally come to the point where we can start to focus on making good original content. We were wondering how you guys come up with ideas for your content. We are currently doing lots of keyword research to gather ideas and subject areas. But we are struggling with 'angles of attack'. Being an eCommerce site it is easy to do lots of "The 5 best products for this" type of content. But we feel there is limited value in these especially if we want to gain links to our articles in future as valued content. How do you come up with your ideas for more valuable and linkable content especially in very niche product areas. Thanks all.

Shortened page titles and changed urls to match, will this effect my page rankings?
In my recent crawl, I was given a bunch of 200 errors for having titles too long, i rewrote the titles and changed the URLs to match (using wordpress). I was then informed by my boss that changing the URLs like I did (www.website.com/abc ->www.website.com/xyz) may have changed our page rank for those pages and if so i should revert them to the old urls. There are about 14 titles in total that I made these changes to. Would it be quicker to change the URL's to their old names, or better for me to use 301 redirects to point the old urls to the new ones? Will either renaming the urls of the new titled blogs with their old titles or using 301 redirects have better SEO results? Does wordpress automatically make these redirects for me? When I click a link of the old urls I kept saved in a document it still goes to the page.

Where to find a directory of industry bloggers
Could anyone out there recommend directory sites containing industry specific bloggers or industry specific guest blogs. Always seems very difficult to come by. For example we have written a great article collaborating with a "hardwood flooring" company and would love to get this published. We are in London. Happy holidays to you all 🙂

How to use articles effectively in a blog.
I wanted to start a blog so I could get some longer tail search term results. I am a knowledge expert in my area but am very busy as an entrepreneur so I had been putting it off for some time. It occurred to me that I might be able to outsource the article writing and I have started doing that. I have either come up with or have approved the topics. I am a very critical editor and demand high quality writing. The articles are all original. We are proofreading everything to make sure the articles are of high quality and inform readers about the subject. I plan to only put external links in the articles that link out to the sources for the information that was used to write the articles. We are also using pictures info graphics and video where possible. I plan to close the comments because, while we have had a website for some time and get some visitors (2500 per month) we are new to blogging and do not have a following that would post comments. My questions is this.......will these be viewed negatively by Google? I think this will be good content but I don't want to do anything to negatively affect us.
