Any quality Local SEO tools with good reports?
-
We have used BrightLocal for some time now. With Bright Local we do not like the reports from a qualitative point of view in that the information is often wrong.
Does anyone recommend something other than Bright Local?Thanks,

So glad to be of help, Robert! Have a great week.

Ahh, Miriam,
You are always there for me. This appears to be a great resource and I will follow up on it in the a.m. I will let you know how it goes.
We usually just buy whatever workable level (like SEOmoz Pro) to start with and test it out for 3 to 6 months. If it works we expand or stay with it and if not, well we don't.
I actually had higher hope for BrightEdge, (EDIT: THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BrightLocal NOT BRIGHT EDGE. We use BrightEdge for our enterprise solution and are two to three months in and liking it so far.) but we get to much conflicting data to make it actionable for our clients who are paying us. I will let you know how Places Scout works out for us.
Thanks as usual, you are the best,
Robert

Hi Robert,
Nice to see you on this sunny Monday! I have been hearing good things, on an agency level, about Places Scout for local tracking/reporting. I have not personally used it, but some of the Local SEOs I respect most have spoken highly of it.
You have to sign up for it via this page on the Warrior Forum:
I'm not sure how it compares, point for point, with Bright, but I thought you might like to check it out.

Also what would be corrective action in case of reason 1 and 4

Do low quality subdomains affect the ranking performance/quality of a root domain?
Hi, Late last year the company I work for launched two new websites that, at the time, we believed were completely separate from our main website. The two new websites were set up externally and were not well-planned from an SEO perspective (LOTS of duplicate content) - hence, they have struggled to rank on Google. Since the launch of the new websites we have also noticed that our main website (that previously ranked very well) has suffered a decline in visitation and search engine rank. We initially attributed this to a number of factors, including the state of the market, and ramped up our SEO efforts (seeing minor improvement). We have since realised that these two new websites have been set up as subdomains of our main website, with MOZ displaying the same domain authority and root domain backlink profile. My question is, do poor quality subdomains affect the ranking performance of a root domain? I have not yet managed to find a definitive answer. Please let me know if more information is required - I am quite new to the whole SEO concept. Thanks! Amy

Any Good Ideas on Promoting a Contest?
Does anyone have any good advice on how to promote a contest? Has anyone hosted a contest and had a lot of good luck that could offer some pointers on how to get the word out? The contest consists of people uploading a 60 second or less WildBlue commercial video that they have created. The video with the most votes will win the competition, and we are giving the winner a $50 cash prize. So far I have been Tweeting about it, and I have sent out a press release. Any other advice will be appreciated. The link to the contest page is http://www.mybluedish.com/lp/contest/ if you want to take a look at it. Thank you in advance.
