Has anyone used Micrositez? Or can recommend them?
-
Hi all,
After using SEOmoz for a while (and I have learnt alot - it's a fantastic resource) I think it's about time our website is given the nudge by a professional, who unlike me isn't learning the ropes and trying to compete with the big boys!
So easy question, has anyone used/can vouch for http://www.micrositezdigital.co.uk/
I've been in contact with them alot recently and spent hours on the phone. 1 side of me is impressed, the other is scared to death of the monthly price.
Any help would be appreciated with this, It would nice to know how good they are especially in regards to their bespoke campaigns.
Thanks,
Allan

They've rebranded to Swish Digital now, here is a recent thread discussing a site currently being worked on by them https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/keep-or-fire-the-seo-company-please-help-asap.2654110/

Allan,
I also used Opensiteexplorer.org to look at your back links. They are all from directories, it would help to diversify your link structure to include high domain blogs and post on forums related to your industry, DJ equipment.

Hi Allan,
There are many SEO company's (employees and owners) who post on these forums ( I'm not one of these people). A few of them to me are very impressive with their knowledge. Have you considered looking at these users, then if you feel they are compatible with your needs looking at their profile and visiting their site?
This way you know whom you are dealing with and can judge their knowledge well before they even give you a price.
Just a thought, hope it helps

Allan,
My short answer is no.
They outsource their clients keywords to text brokers and bloggers, and use alot of back linking to sites with low domain scores, for the main part, as well as linking on international domains.
SEO isn't always easy, fun, and exciting, but as long as you want to learn how to do it, you can achieve first page. I promise with hard work, you can save a lot of money and see results.
Their client www.xoticdreamcars.com who are chasing the keyword "exotic car rental" as advertised on their site isnt on the TOP 5 on google ranking.
I do understand it's a very highly competitive keyword :
| <a class="aw-ti-resultsPanel-details">exotic car rental</a> | High | 201,000 | 135,000 (from Google's keyword tool) |
However, in my opinion it's best if you learned how to SEO for your niche market. Like you have said SEOmoz is a great resource and it's time you take a crack at it.
I'll give you a few tips too.
There's a starter guide for SEO on here, I don't have a direct link for it so please look it up.
Get Google Chrome Browser and get the SEOmoz toolbar plugin, it checks homepage Domain Authorities and Page Authorities. In my opinion, your best bet is find sites in your relevant area and back link from their site to yours.
Another tip, see those sites that micrositez use for their Google results? Good. Now open up http://www.opensiteexplorer.org
and type in those sites they list, and check their inbound links and anchor texts. You will see where they link to, the domain scores, and what kind of links they give to their customers.
Now ask yourself, is this something I want to do?
SEOmoz as well as the internet also offer FREE advice how to fix your homepage.. ie..H1 tags, no duplicate content, proper title pages, no 404s, original content(the most important factor)
So please, save yourself that money and enjoy happy hour somewhere.

Can you confirm legitimate Google Bot traffic?
We use Cloudflare as a firewall. I noticed a significant number of blocks of bot traffic. One of the things they do is try to block bad bot traffic. But it seems they are mistakenly blocking Google Bot traffic. If you use Cloudflare, you may want to look into this as well. Also, can you confirm if the following IPs are for legitimate Google Bots? 66.249.79.88

Error in how URLs were set up, how can it be fixed?
Hi, I managed a website port to a WP responsive deisgn for a client, see http://chicagotelephony.com. Unfortunately, he wanted me to work with a graphic designer rather than a web geek, so the resulting website has messed up URLS, i.e. index.php is smack in the middle of almost all the pages. I know that is all wrong, but I also realized that she was not fluent in the way the Genesis framework was set up or how the particular template I selected, operated. So I just wanted to get it out there.... and now it is live, but has all these errors. Do I have to do 301 redirects? Is there a setting or a button inside of the WP template that would put correct slugs but get rid of the index.pho within the URL? For example, http://chicagotelephony.com/index.php/cloud-based-solutions/ and http://chicagotelephony.com/index.php/var-network-value-added-reseller/ should be chicagotelephony.com/cloud-based-solutions/ and chicagotelephony.com/var-netowrk-value-added-reselle/ and so forth.

Is using a Href in Div OK?
Hi, I was just wondering what your thoughts are on using a Href in a Div, which contains anchor text. We currently use the Href on the div, as opposed to just the anchor text as I want the whole div to be clickable as opposed to just the anchor text. So currently I have: Keword 1

Keyword 2 However I would assume a search engine is smart enought to know its the same thing??? Thanks0
