Seo for my medium.com site
-
I have my regular site blog at www.Guideyourhealth.org and a blog on www.medium.com, should I try to get back links for my medium articles as well that are on topics not competing with my site?
-
The short answer to your query is no.
An exception could be unless the medium articles are contextual and have links pointing to www.guideyourhealth.org. Then the backlinks could enhance www.guideyourhealth.org.
That said should consider comments by effectdigital above.
Hope that assists.

From what I understand, the main advantage of a Medium blog is that it's embedded within the Medium community and has (pretty much) instant access to a small pool of users / readers, so the audience is semi built-in to the platform
I don't see how it could hurt to promote your medium blog, but if you can't think of a way to capitalise (commercially / financially) on a great Medium following, then maybe don't bother. What will you get out of it, in the end?
If it's just for vanity and big reading numbers, forget it. If you can think of a way to commercially leverage your Medium blog's following, go for it
-
If they're on-topic - yes, it can be a good thing as per of your content strategy.
-
To blog on topics outside of my niche in another niche market. I don't want them for my home site or links from my home site.
-
So you have a website www.guideyourhealth.org and also you have a blog on medium Medium. So the first question that comes to my mind is
- Why do you want backlinks to your medium blog? I mean is this blog part of your funnel? or part of your content promotion strategy?

Mobile site scrolls past content straight to the products. Can this affect our seo?

Webjaguar SEO shortcomings
Hey All. I have a client whose ecommerce site is build in Webjaguar. Does anyone have experience with this platform. It appears to be loaded with technical SEO challenges (duplicate content, weird URLs, etc). Interestingly, when I Google "webjaguar SEO challenges" and things like that....nothing comes up. Suspicious, methinks. I appreciate any thoughts from SEO folks. Thanks!

Critique My Site For SEO
Hi Everyone, I was wondering if someone might critique my site and let me know what you think. I've done pretty much everything I know to do proper seo for my site. I'd love to hear some critiques about what I am doing wrong. I'm not sure if my titles are okay, being that they are similar amongst pages. The other thing is that for all the javascript buttons on the top I have no followed them since they don't have any anchor text. The way google will crawl my page is through the links in the footer. I was thinking of moving them throughout the body of the page since I hear google isn't giving as much weight to footer links. I also wanted to hear what you think about putting a blog on my site and updating with fresh content as opposed to creating a separate blog and then linking back to my website with anchor text. Thanks for all the help. And glad to be a member Bill

Are the results provided by site:domain.com + keyword a good indicator of the quality of certain pages? For example, should the first result be more relevant, have a higher number of links, etc than the second result?
