Advice on how to improve our Facebook movement
-
Hello,
We recently launched our facebook page found here. Our website is here.
We give away 30% of our products and we donate to help bees, wolves, and people discovering themselves.
I am wondering how, without spending too much money (we have some money) or for free to improve our Facebook campaign.
We sell orgonite, art-like devices that absorb negative electromagnetic waves and help heal people with health conditions. We also are soon launching a little known powerful mineral supplement campaign (MMS - Master Mineral Supplement) to help people with cancer in return for donations if and only if it helps a lot. Our budget for that post is $100.
Let me know how we can, for free or little money, improve what we're doing. Any advice is appreciated. We're trying to do a lot of good for the community.
Thank you.

I just wanted to say that EGOL's and Fuel Travel's post are the most excellent responses I've ever received for our site.
Fuel Travel, we don't have many (maybe any?) competitors that are like us. We have competitors that compete with different aspects of our site (competitors for orgone products, competitors for shamanism, competitors for supplements) but no-one ties them together like us. How can we use this to our advantage, and what in the heck do we use for home page keyword - not that you can tell us but give us some clues on how to come up with them since we are so unique and almost too cutting edge in our field. There's not really a path set in Google and searchers for our site as a whole, just as pieces.
Please any more advice from anyone is also appreciated.

Hi there!
To build upon the first response, we definitely agree that your product / service is highly niche. Assuming you and the client have a solid understanding of your target audience, use Facebook's precise targeting to your advantage. You can get incredibly granular with who you target - interest based, behavior based, people who like other pages, and several different types of retargeting including email list uploads and website tracking. Since your page has a very small amount of likes to begin with, it would be best to try and grow your audience through "like" campaigns to a hyper specific audience that will appreciate and interact with your page content.
Additionally, we would recommend changing the format of your organic posts. There is obviously a bit of a learning curve with your products / services, so maybe try posting informational but interesting videos or blog articles that demonstrate how to use the products or the benefits of using them. Testimonials from users or other user generated content could work here as well. Test different formats to see what gains traction. From there, you could start dedicating more budget towards promoted posts or other campaign types.
We also noticed that the page itself isn't incredibly informative. Fill out the fields on the "about us" page to give your site more credit and authority. And, perhaps something more descriptive than "a site dedicated to the study of everything" - since that doesn't really tell users anything.
Finally, do you have any competitors? Identify your primary competition on the web and see what they are doing via social media and in general with their internet marketing efforts. This might give you some ideas on what works / doesn't work and could provide some insight into what the market is looking for.
Hope this helps!

I believe that you and your client have more information about this than anyone.
The combination of naked, shaman, EMF detectors, orgone accumulator pucks, hoes, freaky sex, etc. will strongly attract a certain type of customer and at the same time strongly limit the appeal of this business.
The average ecommerce guy isn't going to understand this business. For that reason, any specific advice that you get from him or from me will not be well-informed.
So, if your client has any history of success, I would suggest studying where that success springs from, and then model the Facebook movement after that. Or, identify similar businesses that appear to be successful and learn what seems to be working from them.
In short, I would find working models, try them, tinker with them, discover if any of them work.

Content Advice for SEO Newbies
Hi all, I've been asked to put together a presentation as part of an internal series for marketers within the company that don't know much about SEO, but want to learn the basics and contribute. My topic for this one is on-page SEO/content marketing's role in SEO. I have lots of ideas for this already, but I thought I'd turn to the Moz forum to get some feedback and help me prioritize the points I hit. So, if you could give SEO newbies working on content for a company site, blog, etc. just one piece of advice, what would it be? Looking forward to seeing your responses. Thanks, Andrew

My 40 year old, well established business has a brand name that I think is hurting my SEO. Need advice please.
Our business brand name has words in it which when we were using it as our domain name, was a) bad for our SEO and b) got our emails marked as spam in our client's inboxes. This was not a problem when we first got online, years ago. It eventually became problematic, but we didn't realize it for some time. When we realized the issue, we simply changed our domain name to something more SEO friendly, using exact match keywords. This was fine for a while, but eventually, algorithms changed again, and now with Google putting an emphasis on Brand Names and not looking as kindly on exact match keyword type domains, we are again at a place where we don't know what to do. We can't change our brand name. I don't want to post our real name or business here, but I will give an example. Brand Name: Living Free Travel The Issue: "Free Travel" gets blocked by spam filters, gets us useless traffic from people looking for free travel (which makes out bounce rates very high), gets our domain blacklisted. The Solution: travel2europe.com is the website of Living Free Travel The New Issue: travel2europe.com is not our brand, and probably doesn't look like one to Google, especially since on our site, travel2europe.com is never really mentioned because it is only our domain, not our brand. "Living Free Travel" is generally the anchor text for travel2europe.com wherever we are linked to. We assume this mismatch is problematic for us in ways we don't even know. Are we screwed? Need advice, please. THANK YOU.

How do I improve the ranking of a site, which already receives huge volumes of traffic?
I have taken over the SEO campaign for one of our largest clients. They already receive over a million visits a year due to the brand itself. However, I'd like to start targeting some new search terms to diversify the incoming visitors. Any advice on this type of situation, beyond traditional SEO best practices? Thanks in advance!

Facebook, Google Plus - What to share/like?
Hi everybody! We are planning to offer an incentive to all our customers who interact with us on social media websites. What's the most important thing to ask from a customer? Facebook to like our Facebook business page or to like our own website through Facebook? to just follow us on Facebook or to actually comment / interact on our wall? Google + to +1, share, add to circle our Google+ business webpage or to +1 or share our own website? So basically what do we need to promote most? Our Facebook / Google+ business pages or our own website through social media marketing? While we understand it's important to actually interact with the customers and offer value on social media websites, we are looking to boost our SEO efforts. Thank you!

Facebook Like my website or fan page??
Should I want people facebook liking my website or my fan page? Is there a way to link the two? Here is my dilemma... People liking my website will obviously have an effect on rankings within bing and google possibly. BUT - People liking my fan page will allow me to engage with them in the future about givaways, sales and so on. I'm stuck, is there a way to link these? Or if not, which do you recommend?
