In-house SEO for dummies
-
I'm doing some SEO for a small company and they have a guy available to 'assist' me, but he isn't very SEO savvy. Also english isn't his first language.
If he could do 5-10 hours per week to help, and you were me, what sort of stuff would you show/teach him to do?
Thanks!

Hey Sven,
Thanks these are some good ideas!
Just got to try and keep his 5-10 hours full, shouldn't be too hard, fingers crossed!

Hi Tim,
These are the first things that came to mind:
-
Find blogs about a specific topic, write down the PA and email address of owner.
-
Find link directories relevant to your website, write down PA and email address of owner.
-
Get keyword difficulty data for a list of 1000 keywords.
-
Crawl website for 404's and give cms access to fix broken links
Goodluck and let us know how it works out!

Yeah good thought, but unfortunately the guy is kinda new there too! ha
Im also thinking content creation probably isn't his strong suit.
Any other ideas?

Hi timscullin
This is not an easy question... If I were you, probably focused on info about company. If that guy knows how the company works and who are the targeted customers, in his opinion.
Maybe he can help you to write about the company, and probably you'll be able to write content for landing pages more easily.
In fact, you must to see and decided how could that guy help me?
I hope this answered help you.

Will these pages harm the SEO of my blog?
Hi there, If I put download pages and thank you pages on my blog, will it harm the SEO rankings? As these pages will be pretty thin and will have no links to them internally for obvious reasons, it has me concerned about the effect it could have on my blog. I want to build my blog up to drive traffic, so it's not just a case of throwing the pages up. What is the best solution? No index the pages -- will that be enough? Warm regards Colin

What should I look for when choosing a good article directory for SEO purposes?
I have been writing SEO content for blogs for the past year or so, but I am fairly new to article directories. With SEO in mind, what makes a particular article directory valuable? Currently I'm using EzineArticles and Squidoo; I liked Ezine in particular because of their thorough review process. I saw that recently Squidoo also amped up their checks for original content as a result of Google's stricter policies. I was interested in using HubPages also since they are good about reviewing content. I'm just curious how much factors like this reflect on an article directory SEO-wise. Are there any additional factors that set a a good article directory apart?

Shopping comparison sites for ecommerce Seo
Does anyone use shopping comparison sites to drive traffic to an ecommerce site? If so does that improve your organic ranking or result in the first page being dominated by comparison sites?

Custom Domain Vs Free Sub Domain for SEO
What is your take on custom domain vs free sub domain for SEO? (example.com vs example.blogspot.com) Say if I have 10 links from 10 different domains but all hosted on blogger.com, will it still have the same link benefit as ones hosted on different hosting account? I am assuming it might be less due to the same C class IP appearing for blogger hosting. What do you think?

Redirecting a previously expired domain - any SEO benefits?
Is there any SEO benefits from registering a previously expired domain name that is still linked to form an authorative source and 301 redirecting it to another site on a similar subject? Obviously first benefit is giving users who are clicking on the link to be sent to a site on a similar subject that just to a dead link.
