What are some good organizations an SEO company can join that are strong trust signals?
-
We are working on a website redesign, and want to prominently include some trust signals that help people feel comfortable with us. We're including logos of a few places we've guest posted, and also the BBB and local chamber of commerce.
Do you have any other ideas on logos we can include that are good trust signals? Any associations or organizations we could join?
We are a trustworthy company, we just want a way to communicate that visually, and it seems organization seals and logos are the way to go.
Thanks!

I agree, BBB is a definite must. $400 is peanuts for that seal on your website and the trust it builds for you in a user's unconscious mind.
-
We do have a couple of clients that would look good there, yes - we'll see who's permission we have to put there. Thanks
-
Hadn't heard of SEMPO before, look cool - thanks! Also didn't think about the Google & Bing seals, we'll have to get those.
-
Good idea on the Authorize.net seal. We have an Authorize.net account, but didn't think to use it as a trust symbol. Now that I look at the seal, it looks pretty good and will probably be a nice addition to that section - thanks!
-
Thank you, Todd!

We use the BBB, personally I love it. Spending $400.00 is a small price for more trust on a site.
-
We use the "Authorize Verified Merchant" as a trust logo..... plus you can put up something like.... 45,000 satisfied customers in 2011.
I have been thinking about BBB because it would give me a trust logo and a link from their site to mine. The cost is about $400. Anbody have any strong opinions on BBB?
-
I would see about adding some secure logos via Verisign or McAfee.
And do you have any well know brand names you could display as clients?
-
SEMPO would be a good start. Add into that things like Google Adwords, Google Analytics and Bing AdCenter certifications

Anyone have experience using BloomReach Organic?
Anyone interested in a reciprocal knowledge sharing opportunity? Does your team have experience with BloomReach Organic Services? We’re considering testing it out and are unsure of the long-term payoff given the substantial monthly fees for the SEO add-on. We're a pure e-commerce shop already using BloomReach’s merchandising solution so the technical integration is behind us.

SearchDex for SEO consultation? Price feedback?
I know the JCPenny story from 2011 and read their CEO response to that. I've been pleased with my conversations with them so far and was given a reference that checked out well. Now us. We are a small business and our expertise is in print manufacturing and fulfillment. A portion of our business is running a network of retail websites related to the print business and that network generates six figure revenue, but we rely entirely on our affiliates to promote and drive traffic. I've been learning SEO for about 9 months - primarily just so that I can be informed while managing our direct to consumer initiative. But we don't have the internal expertise to pull off a campaign that is not heavily outsourced so that is why I'm open to talking with SearchDex. Does anyone have any feelings about them one way or another? Does anyone have a recommendation for me to talk to that might be an even better fit for what we want to do?

Is it OK to discuss SEO for an adult site?
Hey guys, I run a few big tube sites and sales pages that contain adult material. I'm also new to these forums, so before I do anything that might be considered rude or innapropriate, I wanted to know what the stance was on asking for advice related to the SEO of my adult sites and/or posting links. I've read the Etiquette disclaimer, however, I don't actually intend to post images or anything of the sort, only ask for your opinions and preferred strategies. If its completely frowned upon, then I completely understand and will never bring the subject back up again. Cheers and Happy to be amongst you all!

Problem with SOME Indian based SEO companies, HELP!
First of all I want to say that I hire 2 great Indian SEOs at my company and this question is in no way meant to offend, or single anyone out. However It's come to a point where the amount of emails we receive for "Ethical SEO, High PR Guaranteed Link building Services, SEO professionals etc" from Indian based companies is costing us a lot of time on a daily basis to filter out spam from real enquiries. Blocking their emails is not even working as they use gmail accounts and multiple domain emails so we can't keep up with them. I have even spoken to some of the owners of these 'companies' and they admit using different email accounts so as not to be blacklisted. They also seem to believe that the opt-out option (which is legally required when sending out promotional emails) is itself optional!!!!! Now when I asked how exactly they were getting my email they said that they get info from the, and I quote "first page of Google"!!!!! So my question is the following; is there anyway I can block my site from showing up in a particular country altogether? Again this is in no way attacking ALL Indian based SEO companies, my beef is with the 74 (we counted) different 'companies' that are flooding our email with offers P.S. Is anyone else having these issues?

EMD question. How far can you push it?
A site targeting "orange juice" and "apple juice" as keywords is the example I'm going to use. Would you have any EMD related benefit if the domain was appleorangejuice.com for either of those keywords or both? To elaborate, this is NOT a question about how users would respond to such a domain. I think we can all agree that having the domain orangejuice.com would make ranking for that term easier and the same with applejuice.com. Is there any benefit then in using appleorangejuice.com with regards to optimizing for Both keywords or only 1? and which do you think would get the bigger benefit; apple juice or orange juice since the latter appears in sequence? I also feel the need to mention that this question arose from the fact that one of our clients insists that having the keyword in his domain will make his life a lot easier but the EMD for that phrase is not available so we're looking for different domains that are not mind numbingly obvious in their attempt to get ranked quickly.

How Do You Organize Your Bookmarks?
Hey guys (and girls)! Every day, I access a number of different online blog posts and articles. It is not uncommon that I want to save them for later use. Also, I have loads of different SEO services bookmarked. Now, I am finding it harder and harder to keep everything organized even though I try to use bookmark folders. Hence, it would be really interesting to hear how you keep your bookmarks, links, text snippets and articles tidy and organized. Cheers
