Creating a daily to-do list for SEO my website
-
Hi all,
I'm very new here, and I'm quite slow in terms of learning things. Now I've had MOZ for about one and half month, but still only just understand to use on-page grade to SEO my site.
I've been spending quite a bit money (for a small business) for online marketing: facebook adverts $50 a day; google adwords $10 a day; MOZ $99 a month... However, the conversion rate isn't ideal... only less than 2%
Now what I'm trying to do is, while keep doing the cash burning online adverts, do more SEO on a daily basis. Can I please ask: other than optimise 5 pages' on-page grade, what else should I include into my daily SEO to-do list?
Many thanks!

Is there a PM function on this site? I don't really wanna share my IP to public:)

Might be that your IP address got blocked somehow. We lock down our sites really strong. If you supply your ip address, I can make sure it's unblocked

There are a lot of ways to save money, and do your SEO for less cost.
FaceBook: What are the details of your ads? Do you target local or nationwide? Are you promoting the page or a certain post? Advertising on FB can be tricky, and may take you a few ad runs to find out what resonates with your audience. $50 a day isnt that bad, considering that most FB ads don't use the full amount. Could be you just need a few killer posts to really get your page promoted and more likes. I don't see this as a big conversion source platform, (unless your posts are conversion-focused) but it could help to raise better brand awareness.
Google Adwords:
What type of campaign are you running? Do you target only a few keywords, or are you running multiple ads? You can keep the cost of your ads lower by getting a higher ad rank. This is based on the quality score of your ad and landing page. Better quality can lead to lower costs Learn more here: https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2454010If you are looking for direct conversions, (I'm assuming you are since you state that "However, the conversion rate isn't ideal... only less than 2%") I would add more into your Adwords budget and diversify your keyword targets. Decide on a set amount you want to spend daily per keyword, and keep track of your ads and performance. Create a separate page for goal tracking from PPC in analytics to see what ads are worth keeping, and which ones need to be modified.
MOZ:
The more you help people, the better it works out for you. The points system works in your favor. You help the community, you gain points. If you gain more than 200 per month you get a free month of MOZ pro. I'm guessing this is their way of saying "you scratch our back, we'll scratch yours"Since you are trying to learn more about SEO, here is a post we did about how to analyze your competitors. This can be the fastest way to see what works for your industry, and how your high ranking competitors get conversions. A few other sites to learn (besides this one) are Search Engine Land and SEO Roundtable
Hope this points you in the right direction! If you need additional help, feel free to shoot me a PM.

Thanks Andy, for your prompt reply.
I think this http://seoservices.dotsquares.com/blog/daily-seo-checklist/ is too general, is there a link on this page that gives more details? I seem can't find it.
Less than 2% (1.6% ~ 1.7% more accurate) is the conversion rate I got from GA, not individually measured yet as I just started FB adverts.
I'm not new 'new' to SEO (went through beginner's guide long time ago), but just lost with so many available tools at MOZ... and I can't find many useful data/insight about my site since we are only a starter business...
Anyway, thanks for your input. I will see what more other experts suggest.

Hi
The very basics would be http://seoservices.dotsquares.com/blog/daily-seo-checklist/ they are my must every day, but it all depends on how much time you can spend on SEO.
If you are really new to SEO try reading this blog on the moz site: http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
Regarding conversion rates, I don't like FB advertising I have never been able to get it to work, so if you can get 2% from FB well done.
2% from Adwords, thats still quite impressive. I would like to get that as a basic level on all my campaigns, however I run campaigns that are far better than 2% to compensate for the ones that under perform, but are essential to long term business plans.
Hope they are useful links for you.
Thanks
Andy

How to seo my site ?
Hi, I'm owner of farsindex.com. I want to seo my site and improve page authority. What are your suggestions?

Site with 2 domains - 1 domain SEO opimised & 1 is not. How best to handle crawlers?
Situation: I have a dual domain site:
Getting Started | | DGAU
Domain 1 - www.domain.com is SEO optimised with product pages and should of course be indexed.
Domain 2 - secure.domain.com is not SEO optimised and simply has checkout and payment gateway pages. I've discovered that Moz automatically crawls Domain 2 - the secure.domain.com site and consequently picks up hundreds of errors.
I have put an end to this by adding a robots.txt to stop rogerbot and dotbot (mozs crawlers) from crawling domain 2. This fixes my errors in Moz reports however after doing more research into 'Crawler Control' I figure this might be the best option. My Question: Instead of using robots.txt to stop moz from crawing all of Domain 2 should I use on each page of domain 2? I believe this would then allow moz and google to crawl Domain 2 but also tell them both not to index it.
My understanding is that this would be best, and might even help my overall SEO by telling google not to give any SEO value to the Domain 2 pages?0 -

Problem creating campaign

If you entered the wrong URL and would like to track a different site, please create a new campaign." please see attached image. I thought it would be very straight forward...

Creating a new campaign?
Hi, Upon signing up I clicked the link to create a new campaign, but nothing happened. The background loaded and that was it. I tried refreshing and still nothing. I went to the Pro dashboard and keep seeing "Oops! Try refreshing the page, if that doesn't work, please click here to contact our help team." Under campaigns there's no button I see to create a new one. The documentation about it here:

is outdated. I tried putting in a support ticket but the link doesn't work, just redirects me back to the top of the page. I was using Firefox but switched to Chrome, but neither browser works. Any ideas? I have to say this isn't exactly the best first impression...0 -
Multiple websites -- one for each brand
I am a MOZ newb, and didn't find answer to the following: We are an enterprise with four distinct brands, each acting as a (reasonably) independent subsidiary. I want to track their performance and report on keyword rankings for the enterprise. Is Moz Analytics capable of this? In Google Analytics, for instance, we have an account for each brand, and multiple properties within each account, and so on. I use 3rd-party dashboard tools to combine multiple accounts into a single report. Can I do something similar here. Thanks in advance.
