http://www.godaddy.com/search-engine/seo-services.aspx?ci=44163
it said "Includes Standard Search Engine Visibility to Improve Search Rankings"
it begs for question... Search Engine Visibility??? Improve SERP?!?!!? is it really that good? O.o; or have i successfully been eaten my promotional messages?
Can anyone with experience with them share some information with me ?
(The price tag is mighty interesting)

Any hosting or ISP packages for SEO are not really SEO packages at all, they're just submissions. At some point in the future there will hopefully be more transparency on this stuff, and companies will have to make a proper distinction where they can't just loosely use the term SEO, when they only offer something that is under 1% of what SEO really is.

that is true. Just curious about their promotional message "Includes Standard Search Engine Visibility to Improve Search Rankings" , but guess that has been answered by oznappies too

thanks a lot , glad to hear from someone who have experienced in using their tools

We host some sites on GoDaddy but find as far as SEO goes, it is very limited. If you are looking to rank for a long tail keyphrase it may get you somewhere, but the tools of SEOMoz are far more tuned. The onpage in the campaigns here give much more detail than the seo reports on GoDaddy and they are instant. So, you can make some changes and test your onpage with out waiting for 12-24 hours for GoDaddy's email. I have found their 'website protection' is useful for detecting quirks that pose security issues.
When you look at the wording you get an idea of what they are offering 'to improve search ratings'. So if you are on page 50 and they get you to page 48, they have improved your ratings. No-one will find you, but your rating has improved. If you want good rank, work with a good SEO to get your site where you want it, and be patient.

I personally use GoDaddy for purchasing domains but I do not use any of their add-ons. I would not recommend paying for their SEO tools. Submitting to any search engine is a free process and one that is easy to do.
For Bing go to: http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster/
For Google go to: http://www.google.com/webmasters/
Setting up an account and doing so will also allow you to become familiar with their tools and reports that they provide. It is a great way to learn how and when they are indexing your site.
One additional thing to consider is to create a sitemap that dynamically gets updated as your site does. Submit this sitemap to the search engines and then it will improve the crawling efficiency and accuracy of the search engines. The individual responsible for your web development should be able to set this up for you.

are you saying that they are doing bad thing? If i am not mistaken Godaddy is Official Google Partner. O.o;

One of their features is "Easy, One-click Submission to Google,
Yahoo!, Bing and Ask" - if the pricing doesn't ring alarm bells, that certainly should.The premium plan just includes what must be a very small scale ppc campaign.

Video Accessibility and SEO
How do you implement video meta data, closed captioning and transcripts to ensure both search engines and screen readers can crawl/read? For example, in a mostly text-based video with a simple audio track hosted one brightcove and embedded into our site, we want to make sure 1) google can crawl the text on the video and 2) a vision-impaired viewer would be able to use a screen reader to hear the text on the video.

How does Google know if a backlink is good or not?
Hi, What does Google look at when assessing a backlink? How important is it to get a backlink from a website with relevant content? Ex: 1. Domain/Page Auth 80, website is not relevant. Does not use any of the words in your target term in any area of the website. 2. Domain/Page Auth 40, website is relevant. Uses the words in your target term multiple times across website. Which website example would benefit your SERP's more if you gained a backlink? (and if you can say, how much more would it benefit - low, medium, high).

How to promote good content?
Our team just finished a massive piece of content.. very similar to the SEOmoz Begginer's Guide to SEO, but for the salon/aesthetics industry. We have a beautifully designed 10 Chapter, 50-page PDF which will require an email form submission to download. Each chapter is optimized for specific phrases, and will be separate HTML pages that are publicly available... very much like how this is setup: http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo My question is, what's the best way to promote this thing? Any specific examples would be ideal. I think blogger outreach would likely be the best approach, but is there any specific way that I should be doing this?.. Again a specific start-to-finish example is what I'm looking for here. (I've read almost every outreach post on moz, so no need to reference them) Anyone care to rattle off a list of ideas with accompanying examples? (even if they seem like no-brainers.. I'm all ears)
