Is there any SEO value to Infographs?
-
I purchased Piktochart to make what they said were SEO friendly infographs. Hearing conflicting responses on the SEO value I figure I should ask SEO's. The program is easy and you can download as an XML. Any responses are welcome Thank You

They can absolutely have a positive effect to support your SEO efforts. One thing I feel you should know is though, simply using a service like Piktochart and some of the other infographic creators and slapping together something quick isn't going to give you the results you are looking for.
I would recommend designing a custom infographic from scratch - or hiring a designer to do it for you after you provide him with a creative brief.
You also need to think of your plans on how you will distribute the infographic. Here is a great youmoz post on how to push an infographic - http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/how-to-push-an-infographic

Infographics can be awesome vehicles for driving inbound links, thought leadership and social media activity. You do have to promote it, though. That means proactive outreach to industry sites, consistent push through your existing social media channels, etc.
The landing page you host it on should also have a substantial amount of written content. You also want to make it easy as possible for someone to share it - so providing a copy of the code needed to republish/share right on the page is a good idea.
Good luck!

Hi,
First, thanks for referring this site. I will dig into this further. I know the good info graphs utilize html and css, so you get the benefit of your information indexing. I'll look into this product and provide feedback. Thanks again for pointing out this site. I'll research it soon.
Thanks,
Andrew

Simply creating the infographics won't create value for you. You have to go out and promote them to build social links e.g. tweets, shares, comments and links (when people share them).
Does this help?

What is the new / current google algorithm update targeting and how to adapt / fix SEO approach accordingly ?
Over the past c. 3 weeks our average Google SERP rankings for a site have been as follows : week 1 : average 3rd in SERP week 2 : average 1st in SERP week 3 : average 7th in SERP Reading on sites including Moz, SEO Roundtable and looking at Moz's mozcast tool it seems there is allot of change going on with Google's algorithm at the moment. Is there a general consensus as to what the new algorithm update is targeting so that we can adapt our site / marketing accordingly ? Or is it too early to adapt ? When Google rolls out an update like this is it common to see fluctuations as they try out things or if we are currently down in the rankings should we take action now. I know there a tools that look at your google analytics data an overlay a list of major google updates such a penguin and panda, but from what ive read this is a generic algorithm change rather than a defined named update.

Did .org vs. .com SEO importance recently changed?
I have seen previous answers in the Forum about this subject but Google has seemed to have again changed the playing surface. Within the past 30 days, we have seen a huge spike in organic search returns seeming to favor .org as domain authorities. Has anyone else noticed this shift and is it just coincidence or worth factoring in? If it is a shift, will Google punish those that have .org but have used.com previously for switching the redirects to serve .org first? Thanks, Jim

Help with local Seo?
Hi, I am really struggling with current predicament i find myself in. I am a small to medium sized business based in Newcastle in the UK and am trying to rank well locally for the keywords that i feel my customers will be searching for locally. I have got to the stage where i am on page 1 of google uk or nearly there but cannot compete against the national companies who have the search terms then just add pages for virtually every city in the country. For example my main product is "Artificial Grass" and my city/town is Newcastle This is where my office is and where my customers are. This is also where my google places page states. Now theres a company that sells Artificial Grass called www.asgoodasgrass.co.uk that are based no where near but use the power of there site to come up in every local search by adding a page "Artificial Grass Newcastle" as well as hundreds of others. They rank 3rd and im 8th. There actual Newcastle page is poor, where as i put everything into my page including pics, video etc. Still no joy. I feel i am always going to rank behind these big boys even though i am the actual local company and have no intention of working others area that are not local to me. By the time i rank behind the above type companies and the likes of yell.com i feel i am never going to be seen and fall back on expensive adwords to help me along. I am a complete newbie at this and would love any help or tips you could give to give me a fighting chance in my area. My site is www.totaldrivewaysne.co.uk incase you want to look as you will have gathered my other primary product is driveways for which also i feel like i have a million competitors! many many thanks for any responses John
