Hi Bob, here's some resources to get you started!
This YouMOz article has some ideas:
15 Smart Ways to Find Guest Posting Opportunities
You can search google for blogs that cover the same topics as your site that accept guest posts using queries like:
finance coaching blog "guest post"
There's more about using google to find guest blogging opportunities here: 3 Smart Google Search Tips to Hunt for Guest Post Opportunities
You could try searching twitter. A great way to do this is to use followerwonk to search people's bios. You could do searches like:
nlp coach blog
Take a look at what others are doing, see if they have their own blogs that might accept guest posts or even if they don't you may be able to find out where they are guest posting.
Think about where your potential audience are going to hang-out too. If you can get guest posts infront of them and get some direct qualified referral traffic to you site then this can be even better. You may find that people arriving through this channel convert better.
Remember that guest blogging isn't just about getting those backlinks. It's a great way to build your reputation/authority and position yourself in your chosen niche.
Again, hope this helps.

I changed it up, it's a little better now.
How do I find the "lots of opportunities to guest post"?
Thanks Doug!

I'll check out SiteTuners CEO. Thanks again EGOL! You're one of the best!

Thank you for such good suggestions. I have a lot to learn.

You could hire a conversion optimization company such as SiteTuners. They can help you improve your site and your sales pages for better conversion. Or you can read Tim Ash's book (SiteTuners CEO) "Landing Page Optimization" and try to do it yourself.
Or, the best approach is what I did... read the book twice, attend landing page optimization workshop, work on the project yourself, then have them help you kick it up a notch.
It will probably not cost as much as you think. Just have them to a study and recommend and then two one hour on the phone with you sessions.

I would like to help you through a suggestion. The right approach to gain more conversion rate is to get the target audience to your site. To get target audience to your site, you should select the right keywords for your site. Try choosing those keywords which are best suited to the service that you offer. I hope this is a helpful answer to you.

Hi Bob,
Just some quick thoughts, please don't take anything here as criticism!
My first impression when visiting the site is that it's "a lot about Bob" and not much about "me!" I would suggest that you open with a clear proposition so people instantly get what's in it for them when the hit your site.
Try to take an external perspective and think about your site from your customers perspective. (Have you got a clear understanding of the type of people your customers are?)
What are the problems/needs of your target audience? You need to write content that targets those needs. (They don't need "Bob.")
Can you answer: "Is this for me? Am I going to find what I'm looking for?"
You need to explain the benefits of the service/solutions you offer.
Explain the benefits of what you do - why should someone come to you and not the next guy? What makes what you do unique?
What are the concerns that potential customers might have? How can you address these concerns?
Nice clear call to action, with a reason to take action now.
"Free consultation" is nice, but why should I be interested? Your calls to action are right at the top of the page, before you've given someone a reason to call. I don't go onto the internet to get some "free consultation."
"Call now to find out how YOU can take control of YOUR money today!"
The list of outcomes could be a lot more direct and compelling. They feel a little like "features" and I'm not entirely sure I understand what they mean. Can you flip these into more direct benefits - with what that actually mean to the potential customer. (It's useful to ask "why should I care?")
Once you get someone to call for their free consultation - do they convert to customers?
As for link building, I would have thought there would be lots of opportunities to guest post about these kinds of thing? Not only would this get links, but gets you in front of the right eye-balls and builds authority/credibility?
Hope this helps!

Spammy page with canonical reference to my website
A potentially spammy website http://www.rofof.com/ has included a rel canonical tag pointing to my website. They've included the tag on thousands of pages on their website. Furthermore http://www.rofof.com/ appears to have backlinks from thousands of other low-value domains For example www.kazamiza.com/vb/kazamiza242122/, along with thousands of other pages on thousands of other domains all link to pages on rofof.com, and the pages they link to on rofof.com are all canonicalized to a page on my site. If Google does respect the canonical tag on rofof.com and treats it as part of my website then the thousands of spammy links that point to rofof.com could be considered as pointing to my website. I'm trying to contact the owner of www.rofof.com hoping to have the canonical tag removed from their website. In the meantime, I've disavowed the www.rofof.com, the site that has canonical tag. Will that have any effect though? Will disavow eliminate the effect of a rel canonical tag on the disavowed domain or does it only affect links on the disavowed website? If it only affects links then should I attempt to disavow all the pages that link to rofof.com? Thanks for reading. I really appreciate any insight you folks can offer.

New websites
Hi Moz community, My company updated and used a new developer to build and re-design their charity websites: www.runforcharity.com, www.cycleforcharity.com and www.sportforcharity.com. This sites were "re-launched" at the beggining of December 2015 and I have now been able to get a good 6 weeks worth of data. I've been religiously using Moz.com for a couple of years and I use it simply for SEO purposes. Our websites are built upon organic traffic being driven to them and I have noticed that the PA on the new sites has taken a hammering. They all appear to have a PA of 1 and I'm at a loss why? It appears that no page has h1 text? Would this be an issue with the developer or something the content team is doing wrong? Any help of advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks Ryan

Duplicating an existing website - new name and reskin
Would re-skinning, duplicating an exising ecommerce website with a new domain name cause any ranking issues? The plan would be that all product data, pricing info etc would be identical, the site would have a minor redesign to change colours, logos etc and all duplicate content would be rel=canonicaled to the original site. In case you are wondering the reason for this is a customer with an existing site wants to try out a new brand without incorporating a massive development costs. The majority of traffic would be driving through google shopping, a bit of PPC, social etc. Is this site duplication likely to harm the original site or will setting up rel=canonical to point to the original site going to be sufficient enough to prevent this happening? Is there anything else is should consider? Many thanks for your help

Website rebranding, what should I worry about?
Hey guys, A client of mine will be doing a rebranding exercise, this include changing their brand name and their domain name. They are considered a well known brand within their industry (Their brand name shows up in Google's "Search Related to..." section) My question is: Apart from making sure all 301 are put in place,changing all the links to point to the new domain and doing PR exercise, is there anything else I should keep in mind / be aware of to ensure a smooth transition? Also can anyone come up with possible issues we might encounter during the move? Apart from having a significant drop in traffic and rankings? Thanks, Clement
