SEO SEA strategy
-
Hi, At this time i encounter the next problem as SEO at a retailer. They increased there SEA budget on branded and non branded keywords the generate more traffic on the Adwords campaign. But Now the SEO traffic is decreasing and the SEA traffic is getting bigger and bigger.
Especialy on mobile devices where you only see the adwords link and no organic link without scrolling.
It's also good for the conversion rate, so we have to do this. But i am curious how other SEO's deal with this thing. What will you do to find new sources of organic traffic? Are you using more longtail keywords or low volume or other things. Like to hear from you.
Grtz, Leonie

Hi Monica, i am also not happy with this situation, especialy it's gonna be difficult to reach my kpi's when SEA is performing on SEO's traffic, but i have to find a solution to reach my goals. the conversion rate has changed, 1% less.
what you say: "I cleansed the AdWords account of everything I wanted to rank for organically. As the CTR increased organically the AdWords spend decreased"
Is something i want to do, i told the SEA guy about his, but he said it has no use, but now you write te same i'm gonna do it. Thanks for that!
Grtz, Leonie

Hi Leonie,
I hate organic cannibalization. The company I am working for now had a monthly AdWords spend of 100k and 0 organic rankings. Of course, you need an AdWords campaign, but you shouldn't sacrifice the organic rankings to have a productive campaign.
I cleansed the AdWords account of everything I wanted to rank for organically. As the CTR increased organically the AdWords spend decreased. If the key term is on page 1 organically and paid you will exponentially increase your CTR, however you want to attract those clicks organically because CTR is important to your rankings.
Is the conversion rate higher through paid traffic? Just out of curiosity is the AdWords campaign affecting the conversion rate of organic traffic?

Do links from such sites as TripAdvisor give any weight or support for SEO
And what about other sites like quora or other niche forums/blogs where one might leave answers, with a link to their profile, which has a link back to the owner's website? _Cindy

Does social media presence + inbound links outweigh bad SEO?
Some of our competitors have SEO errors in the thousands, yet rank much higher than us for keywords that we're targeting. The SEO errors are duplicate content, titles, and 404 errors. We've successfully nailed down much of our SEO issues to a bare minimum, although not eliminated them completely, so we're at a loss as to why we aren't gaining much ground. From what we can tell, the difference between us and them is they have a large amount of inbound links to their site plus popular social media presence. Can it be inferred from this that an active social media presence and large inbound link count outweigh bad SEO practices? What else should we be looking for to help pinpoint why we're not gaining rank with the keywords we're targeting?

Content Marketing and Link Building Strategy in Industrial B2B
We struggle link building because engineering sector has few blogs and is much more traditional than many industries. I've just had a new idea on how to do this and wanted to bounce it off people to help refine it and improve it. Search LinkedIn for "content marketing" or similar Refine by Industry etc Ask people on resulting list to guest post on our blog - which is focused on engineers in our sector Then..... For us it boosts our blog content with high quality posts that are interesting for our audience and maybe some traffic benefit. For them it provides SEO benefits and possibly some market exposure. How can I parlay this into getting a link back as well? What else can I do to make it more effective? Cheers Denis

Multiple link building strategy for multiple clients
We deal with about 200 clients for a series of websites. We create a number of articles articles per site per month. A company we used to do link building for the websites it turns out were doing a lot of spinning which has been hard hit by the new penguin update. I'm actually really happy about it as it means we can now do some legitimate SEO on their sites. Any ideas of what the best strategy would be for this amount of sites which we are already creating shareable content for?

Competitor seo
This might be a really obvious question but... If building bad links (spam links) negatively impacts and even sometimes draws penalties, what is there to prevent others from building links like to my site to try and strip me of my rankings (like from my competitors)? I ran a quick link analysis and noticed a bunch of spam links pointing to my site the other day. I haven't been affected yet but it was only like two days ago that I saw those. Just curious. Is hostile seo going to be an emerging trend? If so it will be a really easy job. Just go to fiverr and buy 20 bucks worth of links...
