Can I base a SEO campaign on a specific MLS listing inteads of full broker web site?
-
I have been ask to do a SEO campaign for one MLS listing: house for sale in the rosedale area in Toronto, and I am having difficulty to target one specific MLS listing .
I don't want to do the SEO campaign on http://jimmymolloy.com but rather one specific listing http://jimmymolloy.com/feature/?mls=A_C2337646&listing=for-sale
Google Analytic does not allow me to have a URL with a query.

I will try my best with what I have now.... something to create for a coding genius... Wordpress MLS listing SEO friendly
Thank you Anthony

"... Is my only option is to create a parallel web page with no MLS so I can have the right keywords in the URL?"
Yes, I wold think making a new page with keywords in url would be the best way to go.Once PR and link equity has been established you can always at that time 301 redirect to the wordpress mls query page.
But if you have to optimize the wordpress site page with MLS query, not having keywords in the url is not the end of the world. You can sstill do alot to optimize that page as is with good content, quality links and a social media blitz.

Thank you Anthony... i guess it is my fault, I should give you more info....
The house for sale That I need to do SEO is located on a Wordpress site that use a MLS component. So each houses have a different query from the MLS system.
So far I can not change the URL of the query... it is not to my advantage for the SEO work.
... Is my only option is to create a parallel web page with no MLS so I can have the right keywords in the URL?

Ok, if I understand correctly, your are getting an MLS listing posted on MLS website. Then adding a link to that listing fro your site, www.jimmymolloy.com. Your then wanting to change the MLS listing url to search engine friendly keywords?
If the answer to above is yes, then I don't think you could unless you own the MLS site and changed its query strings to SEF (Search Engine Friendly)
Now if your wanting to simply create a page on your wordpress site there is an option in wordpress to make url's SEF. You can make one according to the keywords you want, then link from within your page to the MLS listing page. This would pass any link juice from your page to the MLS page.

To my knowledge I can not change the URL for the MLS listing... I which I could change the URL with keywords but I am at the mercy of the query created by the MLS component...any idea to how to go over that issue?
-
Would it be plausible to make a page like http://jimmymolloy.com/rosedale-toronto-house-for-sale.htm
Link to the MLS listing from that page, then work on your content, links and social media. Once you see progress and rewards apply a 301 redirect to the MLS listing to pass link juice to it. ???

How to Properly Set Up My Campaign
My url www.pcf.org redirects to ttp://www.pcf.org/site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.5699537/k.BEF4/Home.htm because of my old CMS and this cannot be changed. Should I set it up as a Subdomain, root domain, or folder? For example using the homepage url http://www.pcf.org/site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.5699537/k.BEF4/Home.htm I get the following results: subdomain: You've decided to set up a subdomain campaign, but entered the subfolder path:
Moz Pro | | mstanwyck
www.pcf.org/site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.5699537/k.BEF4. Don't worry, we'll switch that for you and crawl everything on your subdomain: www.pcf.org. If you meant to set this up to only crawl pages in the subfolder /site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.5699537/k.BEF4, click "Go back and Change" and choose the subfolder option in step 1. root domain: You've decided to set up a root domain campaign, but entered the subfolder path: www.pcf.org/site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.5699537/k.BEF4. Don't worry, we'll switch that for you and crawl everything in the subfolder /site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.5699537/k.BEF4. subfolder: It looks like you submitted a URL that relates to an individual file: www.pcf.org/site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.5699537/k.BEF4/Home.htm
rather than a folder:
www.pcf.org/site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.5699537/k.BEF4. Don’t worry, we’ll switch that for you and crawl everything in that folder instead. If you meant to set this up for a different folder, click ”Go back and change” and enter a different path. To complicate things further, as you move through the site, the only part of the URL that starys consistent 100% of the time is: http://www.pcf.org/site/c.leJRIROrEpH/ Depending on where you are on the site, it appends the url. For example: One page is http://www.pcf.org/site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.6185669/k.9792/Sherry_Galloway.htm while another is http://www.pcf.org/site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.5800843/k.94DE/Everyday_Heroes.htm0 -

SEO Yoast data export
Just thought I would give something back. (Is this the right place!) I use Wordpress with the excellent SEO Yoast plugin. I needed a way of extracting the focus keywords that I have entered onto my pages along with the url for use on the SEOmoz On-page Optimisation tool. So I created GetYoastData which outputs to the browser the required data (and a bit more) that can be saved into an csv (Excel) file. Hope you find it useful - Yes it's not polished and yes it might output a blank line now and again but it's fairly useful. http://deanandrews.uk/get-yoast-seo-data/

SEOMOZ Crawling Our Site
Hi there, We get a report from SEOMOZ every week which shows our performance within search. I noticed for our website www.unifor.com.au that it looks through over 10,000 pages, however our website sells less than 500 products so not sure why or how so many pages are trawled? If someone could let me know that would be great. It uses up a lot of bandwidth doing each of these searches so if the amount of pages being trawled reduced it would definitely assist. Thanks, Geoff

Creating a SEO Report
We are looking to create a SEO report that is broken down by keywords. The traffic that the keywords generate for the site, the rankings in the search engines, the number of backlinks that have used the keyword as anchor text. We have a few tools that can do some of this, but are looking to find something that can aggregate all this info into a clean report. We are wondering if anyone knows a good website/application that can help manage a month-to-month report on the aspects above. Thanks!

Quote "There is no SEO software that can help optimize a site"
Hi all I am a developer for a small agency in the UK. I am using SEOmoz for a couple of our clients and I am also using it to learn from. So far I am finding it a great tool and this forum is also incredibly helpful. Now I also visit another forum called HighRankings.com and this months newsletter is a list of points that are defined as "SEO Mistakes". In it, point number 2 reads: "Repeat after me: There is no specific number of times a keyword phrase should be used in my content. There is no magic number of words that my pages should have written on them. And there is no best number of words or phrases that belong in a Title tag. And most of all: There is no SEO software that can optimize my website (despite the claims of their creators). Use your common sense to optimize your site! Learn how your target audience searches for products, services and information such as yours, and write about it accordingly on your website. Then write to make an emotional connection with your visitors so that they'll convert into happy customers." Now as a user of SEOmoz I wondered what others thought of this comment? Many thanks for reading. Kris

SEOMOZ can we trust you?
I was thinking today what are the chances that SEOMOZ can look into my campaigns and see what keywords I am targeting, strategies etc. and then sell that information to others? There has to be some type of clause when you sign up correct? But who knows because I'm not sure. Having Rand and Matt Curts talking via twitter to each other kind of concerns me. Not that I'm worried that Google will know my strategies because we don't do any black-hat linking and anything shady but how much power does SEOMOZ really have and can they leak any information to other companies or Google? Scary stuff that's why I don't put all my eggs into one basket, I spread them out. Thoughts? Thanks in advance - Brett Shaffer
