Why do people rarely give each other Thumbs Up?
-
I just don't understand. If a question or an answer is decent, I give people a thumbs up. I don't think I've really seen anyone else give a thumbs up. Why not?
-
Honestly, I think a lot of people probably read, but just don't take the time to hit the thumbs up button because they don't know what the point is, or don't care.
-
No, no, no, nothing like that haha I could get more points without the effort!
I just noticed that a ton of people had great answers, but no one was giving them points!
-
@alhallinan - great thumbs-up-bait question!
-
I give a thumbs up when someone answers a question in a very accurate and understandable way. Also I tend to thumb up something that really makes me stand back and think - or just makes me laugh
-
I got 9 thumbs up on mine, but I think it's because I asked for it. Here was my post. Give me a thumbs up.

As someone who has just spent three hours today going through the public Q&A entries (I'm an SEOmoz associate), I have seen responses with multiple thumbs. I think the most I've seen (or noticed) is 3-4 thumbs, but I do see two thumbs quite often. The Public Q&A is fairly new, and the most recent two weeks are restricted to pro members (I don't know if free members can add thumbs after two weeks, or just view the answers), so it may be just a lack of people so far. I do thank you for your thumb usage and participation!

I do... and I think most people do it it's something really great. Here you go though... haha

Top 5 tips you would give for an ecommerce blog
Hello, What are the top 5 tips or resources you would give to an ecommerce site that is starting a blog? If EGOL could share, too, that would be great. He's the best. So far we are doing: 1. Around 1000 words per blog post, but varying depending on the topic 2. New product and best product reviews for some of the posts. 3. I'm doing my best to have the writer make them best-of-the-web 4. After we've got a track record, I'll analyze the statistics to see what's working. 5. There's very little blogging in our industry Thanks!

Huge Google Dance For Some Rankings. What Gives?
I've got a relatively new website (launched at the beginning of June 2013). For some keywords I'm targeting, it first ranked around page 15. It made huge jumps to finally rank on page 2 or 3. Since then, it goes back to page 15 and then back to page 3. It does this every now and then. Any ideas?

Resource Links Still Working for People?
We've been using an outreach method that targets resource links & improvements seem to be minor, even though links are coming from .edu's and .gov's -- has anyone else noticed this trend? Guest posting seems to work much better in terms of ranking / traffic improvements.

Do people associate ads with crap content?
One of our client gets links from his content but he has ads everywhere. We were thinking he would get more links if he took down the ads. I think when people see a bunch of ads on a site they associate it with crap spammy content . What do you guys think? More specific adsense link and banner units. one square one letter board one tiny square all above the fold.

Is it possible to Spoof Analytics to give false Unique Visitor Data for Site A to Site B
Hi, We are working as a middle man between our client (website A) and another website (website B) where, website B is going to host a section around websites A products etc. The deal is that Website A (our client) will pay Website B based on the number of unique visitors they send them. As the middle man we are in charge of monitoring the number of Unique visitors sent though and are going to do this by monitoring Website A's analytics account and checking the number of Unique visitors sent. The deal is worth quite a lot of money, and as the middle man we are responsible for making sure that no funny business goes on (IE false visitors etc). So to make sure we have things covered - What I would like to know is 1/. Is it actually possible to fool analytics into reporting falsely high unique visitors from Webpage A to Site B (And if so how could they do it). 2/. What could we do to spot any potential abuse (IE is there an easy way to spot that these are spoofed visitors). Many thanks in advance

What Gives????
I am looking at two different sites. Blueskyscrubs.com and ScrubsandBeyond.com. out of the two sites scrubsandbeyond is performing so much better, probably six times better. I am just curious if there is anything that sticks out as to why. Blueskyscrubs has a lot more and seemingly higher quality links. There are nearly 2000 domains linking into them while scrubsandbeyond only has around 500. The links they do have don't seem to be that great either. I don't see a huge difference in their on-page SEO either. So if anybody has any ideas or sees something obvious I am not seeing I would love to hear from you.
