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. ???

Items listed based on size - Use "inches" or " " "
I sell Decorative nutcrackers of various sizes. At this time, I use the term "inches". I was looking at my competitor the other day, and when I did a search on his site, using the term inches did not provide me with a result. I was forced to use ex. "10" nutcracker" instead of "10 inch nutcracker". Is there a preferable usage for seo purposes. Thanks! my site: http://www.nutcrackerballetgifts.com/category/5/10-Inch-Nutcrackers.html his ite: http://www.kurtadler.com/Search?search=10"+nutcracker

Affordable SEO?
Hey,
Moz Pro | | ChrisHolgate
I love the resources available to me through Moz.com and although I've found it's possible to make a half decent attempt at improving our site using these tools. I have however got to the point where it would be nice to have a second opinion as my view on our site and what can be achieved is no doubt somewhat stale. Obviously asking the community through Q&A is a start and I have benefited greatly in the past from your advice but I wouldn't expect anybody to give our site more than a two minute glance for free. As such I'm hoping to locate someone that I can pay to talk things over with just to get some fresh ideas and perhaps a list of tasks that my staff and I can continue to undertake over the coming months. I appreciate that Moz has a list of recommended SEO companies however these all seem to be targeted towards larger brands and I can imagine a relationship with one of these companies being less personal than I would like. Asides from going through lists of users and checking out their profiles individually, is there a resource that lists the smaller independent on Moz.com and if so where can I find it? Alternatively are their any external resources that might help me to find someone that would be a good match?
Thanks for your help. Chris1 -

Can the link acqusition tool / web directory list be used for non-english language enquiries?
Hi there, We are currently in the trial period of seomoz pro and have been testing all of the availiable tools. We are very happy with OSE and the other professional tools however we have discovered a barrier in our research methods. 1, Does anyone know how can you use the link acqusition assistant for non-english enquiries? The suggested search queries that are automatically generated are "submit site" "submit url" etc, but this has almost no use for a non-english keyword. - Also are the results only displayed for google.com - is there no localization at all of search enquiries? 2, The list of directories provided by seomoz link: http://www.seomoz.org/directories are anglo-centric. What are the availiable options for non-english speaking directories / local directories NOT based in the United States? Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated!

Site Ranking Report
Hi guys, My site ranking report says that I've gone from being 1-20 for a variety of keywords in Google UK to not in the top 50. When I do a search myself I see that my site remains where it previously was (between 1-20). How reliable is the site ranking reporting on a weekly basis? Is it best to look at it monthly?
