Are qr codes still worth the effort.
-
I Have a client who is interested in qr codes. Not by my suggestion. I haven't heard much about them lately and was wonder if anyone thinks its worth the time.
If you think they are, then where is "the" place to get them at a reasonable cost?

Hi Diegopp, it looks like you might have a relation to this service you're promoting. If you do have a relation, could you please disclose the relation? Thanks!
Also, it looks like this post was an abstract of http://www.cnet.com/news/qr-codes-arent-useless-after-all-nielsen-study-says/, where the original posters might want to go to find more information.

Hi there, this article will help you take you own decision: http://uqr.me/2014/07/study-says-qr-codes-actually-useful/

I agree with Yiannis.
Just use a free online qr code creator, copy, and paste it into your design. It does not take much effort, time, or money.

Hi Nathan,
Not sure what you mean by the "place to get them at a reasonable cost"? there are plenty online QR code generators where you can create as many as you like for free.
In regards to your question there is no one-size fits all answer as to if it "worth the time". It depends the product, the market and how creative you are.
For example I have see QR codes on the train stations that have been very useful for train delays etc and have seen some random ones on building roofs which I am sure the only reason I notice them is because I am an on-line marketer, otherwise I would have probably just passed.
Hope this helps!

Confused About Potential Spammy Inbound Link
I unsure how my page got backlinked on this "passive DNS" website: http://pdns.daloo.de/search.php?alike=0&q=66.96.162.137 This looks to be my only inbound link, so I am worried this is negatively affecting my site ranking. Is this 56% spam score link negatively affecting my website? If so, any suggestions? Any feedback or insight would be greatly appreciated as I am very ignorant to what this person's webpage is about and why my page was linked.. Sincerely, Hayden My website: https://cashflo.org/

Community Discussion: The hardest (& most surprisingly valuable) thing you've gone through for your SEO career?
In the comment discussion for Thursday's blog post, An Essential Training Task List for Junior SEOs, there's been mild debate around some of the items, such as having a Junior SEO build a website by hand. It's a fantastic comment discussion (the kind that makes a blog manager's heart sing), and it's got me thinking. We've all gone through the wringer when it comes to boosting our careers. Heck, I was a poetry major and found myself learning SQL last week. What hurdles have you jumped that have been painful and challenging, but have taken your career to the finish line? Maybe even gotten you the gold?* What would you recommend to newbies just starting out (or warn them about)? *Yeah, I got Olympic about it. I went there. 🙂

Will editorial links with UTM parameters marked as utm_source=affiliate still pass link juice?
Occasionally some of our clients receive editorial mentions and links in which the author adds utm parameters to the outbound links on their blog. The links are always natural, never compensated, and followed. However, they are sometimes listed as utm_source=affiliate even thought we have no existing affiliate relationship with the author. My practice has been to ask the author to add a rel="norewrite" attribute to the link to remove any trace of the word affiliate. I have read that utm parameters do not affect link juice transfer, however, given the inaccurate "affiliate" source, I wouldn't want Google to misunderstand and think that we are compensating people for followed editorial links. Should I continue following this practice, or is it fine to leave these links as they are? Thanks!

What is your Biggest SEO selling point to prospective clients?
Typically, our SEO questions are around "how to's" and etc. So, to change it up I will ask a business question: What is your biggest selling point when presenting your SEO services to a new client? In a spirit of transparency, I will tell you mine ahead of time. With PPC, TV, Radio, and Print at some point in time that ad comes to an end. When it ends, that is it. There is no residual from that advertisement - or very minimal at best. With SEO, once you are ranked well and well optimized you continue to get clients for a much longer period of time. With clients who TV and print, this rings especially true and is easily provable. I can't wait to hear yours.
