AuthorRank - The main aim for SEO?
-
Is AuthorRank now the main game in the SEO world for 2013?
I've seen some say AuthorRank must be worked on now, if you haven't started already?
Who's agrees with this and who doesn't? And why...
-
I can't say that my CTR has increased. Nothing noticable.

Thanks for that EGOL,
Always helps when someone has experience of actually doing it.
Did you see a higher CTR when you added the pictures?
Cheers

AuthorRank helps and the more G+ engagement you have, the better. Here is an example: http://pandodaily.com/2013/01/07/how-google-author-rank-could-change-content-marketing-and-journalism/. If nothing else, I would be more apt to click on a link if someone's photo was next to it. Also, many are now getting their G+ post snippets to rank in the SERPs as well (Mark Traphagen comes to mind).

From what I understand you connect your Google+ account with your website much like the way you do with other Google products.
You then link the article to your Google+ and create a connection by linking back, seems to me this would be the best way of doing it, if indeed Google was going to come up with a system (AR).
Yep.... I have years and years of content that has lots of great rankings and lots of great links and lots of social sharing. ALL of this content is posted on one website - not shared with anybody, syndicated or republished.
We waited for several months after google introduced linking your work to your Google+ page and I did it exactly as you describe.
I expected to get a huge boost in the SERPs.
Nuthin' happened. Well.... my photo now appears in the SERPs beside my articles... but it had zero influence on my rankings.
Maybe Google did this to get good authors to sign up for Google+.

Thanks Egol,
Looking at the way the Authorship system works, do you think if Google was to connect content with auhors then the current system is the best way to do it?

I've just been looking into way of tapping into social a bit more this year really, I know from older posts of yours EGOL you believe in creating great content and using it on your own website/blog, but do you do anything offsite to help with the marketing of the content?
Thanks

I believe that creating kickass content is the best way to advance your website and I have been working on that for quite some time.
However, I can't say that AuthorRank does anything for you.
Just create content that is better than what already exists for your topic and you will probably be rewarded.

Social Media & SEO
Hi Does anyone have any good articles or case studies on how SEO/Social compliment each other? I know the benefits, I just need something tangible to show management, which justifies me spending more time on it. I currently do a lot of onsite SEO, but I know we're missing the content marketing/social media aspect and it's something I want to push. Any help would be great 🙂 Becky

Will Huge bounce rate from social media visits affect SEO or website Ranking according to Google algorithm factors?
We have one website and have posted our blog post url in the social media sites and got almost 5k visits in 3 days’ time, with 11sec avg time on site, zero conversions and with 97% bounce rate. This in turn reduced the total conversion rate for the same month to less than 0.5%. According to google algorithm, these are factors affecting website ranking. Can anyone guide me whether which visits from social media affect our website in any case based on these Analytics factors? Please help me out on the same! Note: Blog post topic was related to latest technology update and the landing page also based in the respective topic as well.

SEO For New Website
Hello Mozzers, I've recently (2 weeks ago) launched a website with a brand new domain for a client. I know I can't expect instant results but I'd like to know I've done all I can to get the best results as fast as possible. I've done the following already: It's a WordPress driven website so the site is very SEO friendly Submitted the sitemap.xml to Google Listed the site on Bing Sorted out the canonical issue Got keyword rich URLs Meta tags are in Site structure is heavily optimized with H1, H2 tags, etc. used appropriately Set up a Google Places listing Made sure all images and links are semantically optimized Copy can be improved but is pretty keyword rich However the client is not using Social Media at all and there's no link building strategy in place. Will this undermine the rankings a lot? What else can I do to get the client better results, faster? Any help will be much appreciated. Best regards, Rex (SEO Noob)
