What more to do for such a client
-
Hi.. We have taken a automobile spare parts clients SEO deal. 4 keywords to work on and competition is not that great also. So looks good.
For the first 2 months, we have finished doing its social bookmarking, social blogging , few directory submission and thre complete onsite SEO.
Now for the new months, what should be the new plans ?
What all things we can do for those 4 keywords ?
I mean, what more methods to promote ?
For this month, I have a new plan. Find all the related websites and send a personalized email to all asking them for a Link exchange.
Tell me more.

I'm going to be a little harsh here.
Does this website know your level of experience? Are you charging them appropriate to your level of experience?
The methods that you have used so far are not likely to make a huge difference in today's world of SEO. And, depending on how you are going through with this campaign you have the potential to do harm. Be very careful about what anchor text you are using. Overdoing social bookmarks and directories can cause a site to be affected by Penguin. See http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/are-seos-destroying-small-businesses-a-penguin-story
Reciprocal linking done on a large scale can get a site penalized. A few reciprocal links are not going to get a client penalized but are not going to be terribly effective as compared to one way links.
If you are not certain what else you can do for SEO, it's totally ok to ask questions and learn what works to rank sites these days but be careful that you are not doing your learning (and making mistakes) on someone else's dollar and with someone else's livelihood.

Please please do not kill that website. Whatever, you are doing is killing the website. As the website is in automobile industry, there are loads of things to do. Do you have a social media marketing plan ready? What about the local seo strategy? How is the online structure of the website? Do you have a content driven marketing plan? Are you reaching out to your targeted audience by blogger outreach? Are you utilizing the power of email marketing? What you are doing in the engagement front? What plan do you have to improve the usability of the website?

Agree wholeheartedly with Sean here.
Link exchange?! Instead of writing emails to webmasters, write meaningful, useful content in this niche. Examples would include auto spare parts guides (how to install, what to look for etc), comparison guides between brands/products etc etc.

Well said Sean

Let me just start with saying...stop and take a step back.
Above you mention a bunch of outdated (directory submission) or just bad techniques (link exchange). I suggest you take a look at the SeoMoz beginners guide first to see what is all involved in SEO and than start from the ground up

Our company creates cobranded subdomains for our clients; does that hurt our SEO?
We create cobranded websites for local businesses in many towns throughout the United States, always under a subdomain of our main site (e.g., afcreditunion.teachbanzai.com). Does this hurt our SEO rankings? We have a very specific reason for creating these microsites, because it's a high selling point. I've read and watched the material here on Moz regarding subdomains and subfolders, but it doesn't quite answer my question: since we create all these microsites not with the intent of passing authority to our website but with the intent of making their microsite have their branding.

Client has an inexplicable jump in crawled pages being reported in Google Search Console
Recently a client of mine noticed an inexplicable jump in crawled pages being reported in Google Search Console. We researched the following culprits and found nothing: Rel=canonicals are put in place No SSL/non SSL duplication We used a tool to extrapolate search query page data from Google Search Insights; nothing unusual No dynamic pages being made on the website All necessary landing pages are in the XML sitemap Could this be a glitch in GSC? We are wondering what the heck is going on. 7eaeS

Why isn't the canonical tag on my client's Magento site working?

Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Inevo
I'm doing an SEO-audit for a client. When I'm checking if the rel=canonical tag is in place correctly, it seems like it: view-source:http://quickplay.no/fotball-mal.html?limit=15) (line nr 15) Anyone seing something wrong with this canonical? When I perform a site:http://quickplay.no/ search, I find that there's many url's indexed that ought to have been picked up by the canonical-tag: (see picture) ..this for example view-source:http://quickplay.no/fotball-mal.html?limit=15 I really can't see why this page is getting indexed, when the canonical-tag is in place. Anybody who can? Sincerely 🙂 GMdWg0K0 -
Will I mess with Authorship if I setup multiple client websites under my Webmaster tools login?
I currently have a dozen client websites or so that I have setup under my Webmaster tools login. Should I put them each separately under their own webmaster tools, then just add me as a user? Is the way I'm doing it now messing with Authorship?

Client Can't Write His Own Articles
Hello, I'm helping a client put together an FAQ and 5 thorough, graphically stimulating, articles. The client can easily write his FAQ articles. However, he's not knowledgeable enough to write the 5 thorough articles, and hiring an expert to write them from scratch would cost a huge chunk of money. Should we have a writer put together an outline or rough draft and present that to the expert for editing? The client can afford that. Or what's the best way to move forward without costing a huge amount of money?

I currently have a client that has multiple domains for multiple brands that share the same IP Address. Will link juice be passed along to the different sites when they link to one another or will it simply be considered internal linking?
I have 7 brands that are owned by the same company, each with their own domain. The brands work together to form products that are then sold to the consumer although there is not a e-commerce aspect to any of the sites. I am looking to create a modified link wheel between the sites, but didn't know if my efforts would pay off due to the same IP Address for all the sites. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
