Addicted to SEO: Please Help!
-
Hello.
My name is Justin. And I am an addict.
I have recently starting dabbling around with SEO about five months ago. And I have found myself wanting more and more.
I feel like I needed to come to this group of other addicts and admit it to you. I am constantly checking my ranking in Google. I am obsessed with my keywords. And I will sell my soul for a PR8 in-bound link. I desperately want my site: www.findahealthcarejob.com to be the best in the universe and it has been a wonderful drug for me.
This must stop.
Please help me.
What are some steps of your own 12-steps that help you detox from this addicting lifestyle?
Thank you.

This is it.... channel the energy into planning and development.

"What are some steps of your own 12-steps that help you detox from this addicting lifestyle?"
There are none, you're stuck with it now... resistance is futile, embrace it!
If you started five months ago you might not have read this yet, get it and read it, it will help you quench some of your SEO thirst for knowledge

Like enzogg2 says, work on improving your site. Certainly there are features you want to add? And bugs to be fixed? For example, when I view your site in a window that is less than 768 px wide, the banner links start getting lost on the right (like the contact link). Also, your home page is trying to grab http://www.findahealthcarejob.com/wp-content/themes/JobBoard/style.php twice and it's returning a 403 status code (forbidden). Also, your sharing icons in the upper right hand corner aren't positioned quite right in my IE9.

You got a nice site and concept so I can understand. Try building something new instead of focusing on refreshing rankings all the time.

Backlinks to internal pages help website to rank better or vice versa?
Hi Moz community, We have our backlinks mostly pointed to our homepage. We are trying to rank better and not having minimum number of backlinks to our internal pages is one of the things I worry about. Backlinks to homepage alone help in ranking internal pages or backlinks to internal pages help in ranking homepage? Or both required? Thanks

Using Brand value for SEO: Can we use keyword with brand name?
Hi Moz community, I am curious to know this. Let's say there is a brand value for a company. It has it's own popularity that it's been mentioned across the internet and social media directly with brand name without their service or industry keyword. Now if the company started promoting themselves like keyword along with their brand name, will it help them to rank for that keyword. For example, Moz is already famous, now they want to rank for "SEO" and related keywords, so they started calling themselves on internet "Moz SEO"; will this fetch them in ranking for keyword SEO? My ultimate question is, using primary keyword along with brand name will work out in ranking for that primary keyword or not? Thanks

After optimising for SEO my ranking went down...
Hello, My website was ranking for over 100 keywords but was not really optimised properly. For example, the page title was much too long, it was segmented like this: "keyword - Category - domain " I followed recommandations in SEOMOZ and I removed the domain and category from the long page titles to only leave the keyword and updated the H1 to reflect also the keyword. We dropped in ranking since even though we did not change anything, only made things more SEO optimised. I don't understand how it made us drop in ranking?? David
