Woot! Finally got some linkbait out.
-
I have been working on a cool piece of linkbait for our real estate site and I finally bit the bullet and published it last night. I pushed out a few emails to some local media. This morning I was woken up by a phone call from a local radio station wanting to interview me about my article!
I realized when I hung up that I didn't ask for a link or even a mention of the website. Hopefully they will mention it so it will get more attention!
I'd love to hear your experiences in working with the media like this.

Congratulations on publishing, and the good response so far. Always a nice way to start a Monday!
You might still send something to the radio station. They could hardly complain about you wanting to make their lives easier with some written (email) information that they don't have to create, and you could get in your links that way.

Excellent job! WHat a wonderful way to start the week.

more important they will not write the story themselves and screw up your important message.
I love it! Funny, yet true.

Great idea!

I used to work for a government agency and the media frequently called wanting information on one of our projects or a topic in the news. To help them we always sent them pre-prepared information that they could publish verbatim. If you do this they will love you and come back again when you have some thing else - but more important they will not write the story themselves and screw up your important message.
Include a couple of quotes from the director or CEO and then when they publish the article it will sound like they did an interview.
Congratulations on getting the linkbait out and an immediate interview. Nice work!

Well performing blog article
I have an article that gets a lot of hits, way more than any other I have. Is there a way I can figure out why? For example, Is there a tool to help me find out where people are finding it? Or another important factors I should look at? Thank you in advance

Lost almost all organic traffic. Need some help.
Hi Mozers. I blog about our son with Down syndrome (https://noahsdad.com) and you may remember me from this case study here on Moz. https://moz.com/blog/seventeen-ways-to-improve-your-blog-case-study I was getting close to 100,000k a month in organic traffic to our blog, then it slowly started to decline to the point where I am not only getting 3k in organic traffic a month. So basically I lost all of my traffic. I honestly have no idea what is going on or why this happened. I know everyone is busy but would anyone be up for taking a peak into my GA and search console and seeing if you can figure out what may have changed and why my traffic dropped off so much. Our website helps a lot of people so you'd be doing some good and it may even be a good case study post! Thanks so much!

New blog contributors
For context my website is a content resource portal. In SEO training I have been told that it is a good SEO move to have as many content contributors as possible. As a result we are pushing to recruit new content contributors so they can be listed as new contributors/authors on our site alongside their valuable content. Would this move be good for our SEO rankings and is there anything in particular to consider with this?

Have i got my google adsense in the right place
Hi, i am working with a new site which is in wordpress and i am just wondering if i have the google adsense in the right place. I want great user experience but i also want maximum exposure to earn money to pay for the site. I must say i have no experience with google adsense, have used it for a couple of years but never sure where the right places are to put it. here is the page and i would be grateful for your thoughts. i was thinking of moving the top google adsense above the title and replace it with a 300 by 250 box in the middle of the content and either keeping the bottom or moving that to the side. any advice would be great. http://www.cheapflightsgatwick.com/rome-the-ideal-location-for-a-wedding-abroad/
