Guru Needed
-
Hello,
We are interested in finding someone experienced in SEO, who is willing to take a look at my work that I am doing for my employer, on an ongoing basis. This would help me ensure that I am on the right track and we are doing the right thing.
Even tough I have some knowledge with SEO, I am still novice in the field. I also have background in marketing and management. I believe by having someone to mentor, would help me to grow professionally, as I feel very passionate about SEO, but to also deliver good work to my employer.
I believe someone's experience, reviews and suggestions about our campaigns can help, and I would not expect someone to give out their time freely. Therefore, if required we could talk about a financial agreement.
Thank you for your time, and looking for your replies.
Monica

Monica, you should see if EGOL will be your guy! I believe it states in his Moz bio that he LOVES that type of work.
Juuuuust kidding!!! But seriously, he made some great points!! Best of luck

ABSOLUTELY great Egol advice here.....especially on the 'variance' you'd find by filtering thru common counsel for the 'style' that you like for you and yours....
Read...learn...test...then rank...and repeat!

Ask LOTS of questions here.
Pay close attention to who gives good and generous answers.
You will see that different people have different answers and different styles. Different answers does not mean that one is wrong but a lot of the answers that you receive will not be "best answers" in general or not be the "best answer" for you. Still, different answers are informative.
Seeing a diversity is important.
After you have asked LOTS of questions you might realize that someone has a style that you like and gives answers that you believe are valuable - and get lots of thumbs-up from members. That is when I would select a person for paid consultations.
All of the people who I have paid for consultations have first demonstrated to me in forums that they know their stuff and have respect of their peers. After this type of screening of consultants I have not been disappointed. However, if I would have hired people without this screening I would have been disappointed many times. Why? Much of the free advice given on forums is bad advice or not good advice for you.
Read the profile of anyone who you consider hiring. Some are available for clients. Some are not. Go to their website if they list one and look at it critically. You can get fantastic assistance from many of the members here, but be careful to be sure that you get the right person for you.
Good luck.

Hi Monica,
Don't forget you can always ask on here and it wont cost a penny, if however you don't want to share all the secret shenanigans you can also PM people if you wanted advice, best to ask first though! I've seen your site before where you've posted problems etc. so hopefully it can still work for you and the bonus is you get even more experts to help!
All the best.

Hey Monica
Great decision!! A "professional" second set of eyes is always the best approach regarding online marketing. I would suggest that you go through the Moz Recommended companies and call around to find the best fit.
Also (if you haven't already) check out this WBF about the topic. Hope this helps you find the right fit!
Cheers!

New g(TLD) advice needed
Hey all, I'm a bit confused by conflicting advice, need some direct input. We're quite experienced in SEO but that doesn't mean we can't get better 🙂 I manage a very old, well established, very generic TLD portal that ranks very highly in MANY keywords. (If you know our domain, I'd appreciate not naming it here) (145 1-3 ranks, 342 1-20 ranks) but there are also many topics we want to improve upon. Lets say, for example, I own gold.com, but I've failed to rank for 'gold events' and I acquired gold.events. What is the thought as to using some of the g(TLD)s versus the original .com? In the example events.gold.com or gold.events or gold.com/events/? I really can't find a consensus on which would bemost effective for SEO purposes. In a more general aspect of the same question, we own MANY "gold.newg(TLD)" domains and are conflicted as to best use of all of them. All advice greatly appreciated. Nat

I need your brains please - client site dropped significantly in search since hummingbird
I need your support. I've been doing "SEO" for several years - but sticking to sustainable methods. No junk links Decent content Decent site etc The site is advisein.com and it was ranking well for several terms such as: best lsat prep best lsat preparation best lsat course etc. Also there are some youtube videos (with the google thumbnail) that were doing extremely well in search and even those dropped in the rankings. Can any of you tell if there are some glaring issues that I am missing that would make the website and youtube videos drop 30 - 40+ spots in SERP's over the past few months after dominating for the last 3 years? Thank you in advance and I welcome additional questions and any ides....

Need advice for indexing a multilingual website
We are in the process of creating a Spanish subdomain of our website. I want to know what needs to be done in regard to meta tags, sitemap.xml and robots.txt so that Google and Bing will index both website properly and not causing the web page on the English site to lost rank. Our English site is www.mydomain.com with the Spanish site being es.mydomain.com We are planning to put a button or link on both sites so that visitors can switch between both sites. The two sites are similar but not all pages are mirror images.

Charity project for local women's shelter - need help: will Google notice if you alter the document title with Javascript after the page loads?
I am doing some pro-bono work with a local shelter for female victims of domestic abuse. I am trying to help visitors to the site cover their tracks by employing a document.title change when the page loads using JavaScript. This shelter receives a lot of traffic from Google. I worry that the Google bots will see this javascript change and somehow penalize this site or modify the title in the SERPs. Has anyone had any experience with this kind of javascript maneuver? All help would be greatly appreciated!
