Will becoming a YouTube partner get me higher rankings on the site?
-
One of the branded channels I run has been offered to be apart of YouTube's Partnership program. Trick is - I don't necessarily want to see ads pop up for my videos, as I imagine the revenue is fairly small.
I would be wiling to join the program if there is evidence that joining the program helps our rankings on YouTube. I imagine it may - as YouTube likely would give preference for partnered channels, partly due to ad/revenue opportunities for them, and partly because partners have obviously proven to have better content.
What do you guys recommend?
-
I'm not sure on that one, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't as you can do so in Adwords and that's where Youtube gets its ads.
-
One more question - Will I be able to limit the advertisements that appear on my account?
I'm somewhat concerned that competitive ads may appear on my videos.
Thank you for all your help so far.

Ya. Check out the details here: www.youtube.com/t/partnerships_benefits

What kind of data will it provide? My videos are already linking back to our site - and provide links to our main site in the description. So I see referral traffic, I'm aware of our views and ratings (as well as any random user would be).
Is there any specific demo data it would give?
Thanks for this answer btw

It'll give you more promotional options and data which in turn will get you more exposure. That alone could get you more views than Youtube rankings in the conventional sense.

How do you turn off ads on your YouTube videos?
How do you remove ads that pop up on your youtube videos? I have created several videos only to have my competitors ad be the first thing to show up on the videos. Curious how you turn that off.

Facebook Instant Articles - will it hurt SEO?
I am intrigued by Facebook IA and am thinking that putting some of my company articles on it would be beneficial for marketing. Question is, will it hurt SEO if I take an article that is on my website and also submit it to Facebook IA? Will it register as duplicate content in Google? Could it have other benefits/risks?

No employees so will a search engine optimisation company work me?
I'm self-employed and run two different companies solely by myself there is no employees but I contacted the two UK SEO companies which are recommended on Moz both of them based in London, but after sending them emails and speaking to them on the phone neither contacted me about they must think I'm too small. Do you find that small one-man band companies find it hard to get a SEO to work for them because my budget will be too small? The company I would like to improve the rankings on is a Whitby Holidat Cottages letting agency in Whitby www.EndeavourCottge.co.uk with 10 properties, so obviously I can't afford a large budget but I could happily afford a monthly subscription if they could do necessary works for me do you think this sounds feasible? Or am I better just continuing and trying to make the time to do the work myself even I'm not that expertise. What is your thoughts and experience? Thank you Alan Davidson

How do your direct social media to use another picture when the web site is shared?
I set up a web site to raise funds for my nephew(www.helpmatt.org) and social media randomly picks a picture on the share. Unfortunately this picture is from happier times and sends a different message than we would like to prospective contributors. Is there a way to set the picture that is used when this web site link is shared on social media? www.helpmatt.org

We also have a rel=me tag on each post. Still after serveral weeks, the Google+ profile picture isnt showing up in the search results. Here is two examples: http://www.facit.com/se/test-renault-megane-sport-tourer-16-dci/ http://www.facit.com/se/test-av-vw-passat-alltrack/ Can anyone help me or explain if there is something I have done wrong?

Getting more fans on Facebook
Does anyone have any tips or experience on how they increased their Facebook fan base? I work in the oil/fuel industry and getting people to like your Facebook page is quite difficult because our customers are mostly middle-aged men, who if statistics are to be believed aren't the most active on social media anyway. I've been doing regular posts for the past couple of weeks, liking other pages and joining conversations but don't seem to be getting any increase in followers. Does anyone have any advice, ideas or examples of what you did that worked? Thanks

Infographic/Link Bait idea. Unrelated to my site though, suggestions?
Question, been thinking of some link bait infographic ideas for my site www.jobshadow.com I've got a couple in the careers/job niche but the one I think would be best is completely unrelated. I study free market economics a lot and want to debunk the whole 'deflation' debate that is on the news these days. The overall gist would be to do so with a history of Apple products showing why falling prices aren't anything to be afraid of. Given that it's econ/techie related(even non econ people would find this graphic neat I think) and not specific to the 'career hunting' and job searching my site is I'm curious what people suggest. Give it a shot and release on our blog anyway? Or trade it to someone else in a more relative niche(assuming the graphic gets built, I know ideas are relatively cheap:).

How to determinate current site situation?
Sorry for probably stupid question. But we are asking it ourself during last few month and can't make a decision. After reading this article (http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whats-better-on-page-seo-or-link-building) it is hard to say which case is for us. We have the eCommerce site, but we are using category pages in addition to eCommerce. So we put on this page images, specifications and videos for a bunch of products. On the specific product page from eCommers we have only general information about products and a canonical tag that goes to the category page described above. This was done to avoid duplication content for similar products. So we concentrated on these main category pages. SEOmoz shows to us: Duplicate Page Content - 179 (why is canonical tag not working?),
Social Media | | ctam
Duplicate Page Title - 746 (why is canonical tag not working?), Long URL (> 115 characters) - 117
Temporary Redirect - 1,306(eCommerce login redirect)
Title Element Too Short - 63
Title Element Too Long (> 70 Characters) - 2,357(why is canonical tag not working?),
Too Many On-Page Links - 616
Missing Meta Description Tag - 873(why is canonical tag not working?), For main pages, on-page reports look like: Factor Overview
Critical Factors 4 / 4
High Importance Factors 4 / 7
Moderate Importance Factors 8 / 9
Low Importance Factors 7 / 11
Optional Factors 3 / 5 And according to SEOmoz we have 7,865 External Followed Links So please help us to decide which case from article is the best for us. Thank you. Duplicate Page Title0
