Help with HitTail
-
Does anyone else use HitTail?
I am using it for a free trial at the moment. The idea was to get some keyword suggestions and write blog posts on these topics.
My problem is that I am ranking on the top page sometimes spot 2 or 3 for the keyword terms that are being suggested, so what's the point? I don't see the point in writing for google searches in other countries so I delete them as it isn't an international business?
Am I getting the most out of this or just missing the point?

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your reply. I did think it was odd for terms to be suggested that I was ranking so high for. I will send an email if I come across it again.
Cheers!

You can get keyword data from Analytics, but not the suggestions. That's the core benefit of HitTail.
-
Don't forget: has an algorithm that cuts through the noise, filters through your keywords, and suggests only those that you have a high likelihood of ranking for.
So instead of having a keyword list of 500, you might receive 20 or 30 suggestions from HitTail, and those suggestions are your low-hanging fruit. The keywords where you'll get the most bang for your buck right away.

Hi Shaun,
I'm Rob, the owner of HitTail. Let me address your questions:
My problem is that I am ranking on the top page sometimes spot 2 or 3 for the keyword terms that are being suggested, so what's the point?

You should not be receiving suggestions for keywords that you already rank that high for. Are you using an incognito window to check your rankings? If not, Google's personalization is likely to boost your website much higher than other people see it. Try again with an incognito window and if this is still happening please email us at service@hittail.com and we will take an in-depth look at your keywords.
Because you are correct - if we suggested terms that you already ranked that high for there wouldn't be much of a point to it

Has anyone else got any experience using HitTail?
I like the tool but I'm struggling to justify paying for it.
-
Long tail ones arn't really helpful for me as well. like you said.
the thing is we can get all this data from google analytics and webmasters if checked thoroughly.. so yeah this tool isn't really helpful
-
Yeah I feel the same.
The long tail keywords was where I wasn't getting anything significant. Unless you mean literally 'long' and wait for some that are maybe 5/6 words long.
-
Well yes its not as good as i thought at first.
what it is good for is :
- Long tail keywords ideas!
- shows realtime search keywords
- sends a report of total keywords in email with which users reached the site
That's all what i gathered so far :}

Help getting a Wordpress.com site to rank
Hi all, I have a blog for my site, but it hasn't been integrated into our site yet (that will happen in the next few months when we do some site changes). For now, it sits on a Wordpress.com site, and links from my website. I post a couple times a week, have social media linked to it, and feed posts to aggregators regularly. I also comment and like other Wordpress.com sites, but it just isn't ranking. Do I just need to stay persistent? It's been up for a month now, but still only getting a few hits a day. Any advice?

Canonicle Help
Hey everyone, Hoping someone can shed some light on canonicle links for me. Have read as many articles and tutorials as possible but am still unsure about how to use them in my situation. I'm about to sign a content syndication agreement with a large newspaper for 3-4 of my articles per week. It's great because this national newspaper has a PR of 8, to my recently reduced PR of 3. The newspaper are providing attribution links back to my website, both to the homepage and original article on every article. Nice, but worried their size will make their copies of the article list above mine. Can anyone tell me, IF the newspaper agreed to making canonicle part of attribution, where exactly would it go? On my article? On their article? In their document ? Or in the link that directs back to me? Thanks.

Does a directory running on a subdomain help or hurt SEO on the main site?
I have a blog, with a directory on the subdomain: directory.fbforbusinessmarketing.com. Is that smart for SEO, as it gives the overall domain more traffic? Or bad for SEO because of the different topics and all those outbound links? I'd appreciate opinions. Thanks.

Wordpress Duplicate Pages/ URL's - Help !
Hi guys, I have been running SEOMoz for just over a month and slowly cleaning up one of my Wordpress Blogs. While going through the crawl reports I have noticed that I have duplicate pages showing on the crawl. For example, the main post would be; www.xxxxx.com/blog/post-title Then I see another URL which would be; **www.xxxx.com/blog/page/59 ** When I click on either URL it goes back to the actual post title URL. What's with these page URL's ? Isn't these two URL's showing duplicate content to the search engines ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
