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.
-
What i really need is some really good talented copy writers. Any references? Please message me or email me.
-
Thanks thus far. Looks like im on the right path!
-
Agree with EGOL any type of link bait (like a calculator) is great. Also consider an infographic. We have published a few and I would describe them as moderately successful.
-
definitely thumbs up from me for datasheets / cheat sheets as well.
-
The calculator is a great idea. We have a Perl calculator that gets a lot of use and a couple of printable data sheets that are popular.
-
Another one I'd add to Egol's response is to consider some kind of tool if it is suitable for their market. Strictly it's still content, but online tools fall outside of what most people think of. A well thought out and useful one can generate quality links for the long term.
Remember to leave budget to get traction for whatever you build too.

Content is a no brainier.
The client should prepare articles on the most important things that his clients don't know that they don't know. These should be kickass articles that make everyone who reads them say WOW!
The $5K should be spent on professional editing, a photographer to get great photos, an illustrator to make the graphics that are needed.
If you have another $5K spend it on articles that cover the most important things that his clients should know to get started with his service/product.
If you have another $5K get the best articles storyboarded and shoot video for youtube.

Does redirected traffic still contribute to SEO?
My company recently rebranded with a new website (and comparatively lower authority). We've built a bunch of backlinks for our old website, which now redirect to the new one, and I was wondering if these still contribute to SEO? Is there a difference in the SEO effect of a direct link versus a redirected one?

Custom Domain Vs Free Sub Domain for SEO
What is your take on custom domain vs free sub domain for SEO? (example.com vs example.blogspot.com) Say if I have 10 links from 10 different domains but all hosted on blogger.com, will it still have the same link benefit as ones hosted on different hosting account? I am assuming it might be less due to the same C class IP appearing for blogger hosting. What do you think?

Should I outsource any SEO work or can I do it all?
My website needs a lot of improvement and we are working on it but I also don't want to fall behind on the SEO work. I am guessing that I can do much of it myself through SEOmoz.org but is there a part that busy folks should get others to do? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Utah Tiger

Backllinks to our site but via redirect (still SEO helpful?)
Hi, A large website may link to us but via their internal redirect mechanism. So it would be somthing like this: [If you select the link, it eventually goes to our site but not from the original page. These links would be placed on lots of pages, but since they would all "pass through" the "redirect" page, it seems not as beneficial from an SEO perspective. Is this reasoning correct? Would google still follow the link and see where it ends up, even though it is via multiple pages? Ideally I'd prefer direct link but how much better is it than the redirect as listed above?](/redirect/rd?site=www.oursite.com/page&trackingparam=111111)

Negative SEO
It looks like either opensiteexplorer is broken or two of our domains are being spammed via negative seo with very low quality links:
Link Building | | Beatbuster
http://winter.bergleben.at is a project pretty new in development. Last time I checked we had 39 linking root domains. Now - couple of weeks later - we have more than 800 linking root domains. Most of them very dubious ones. Problem is: the link anchors look correct of what we or a user would typically link to most of the URLs identified by OSE I cannot even find a link back to us on there If it weren`t for the correct link anchors I would consider something wrong with OSE.
Another URL affected is www.skiinfo.de We are very proud of our quality and organic approach to editorial journalism, but we are in a very competitive field, so I would not be surprised if someone would apply negative SEO against us. Can someone briefly look into it and tell me if they came up with the same issue?0 -
