What effect does a single visit have? Multiple visits?
It looks like Google is putting a definite emphasis on social signals, through Google+ anyway. Has anyone tested the effect of social circles on SEO yet? Same effects as the "magical +1 button?"
+1 on shifting your time and resources to Social Media?
It seems there's a lot of negative connotations with the phrase "Article Marketing" as it's associated with spam, spinning, etc. I couldn't find anything other than that, which begs to ask, what are the white hat tactics that you use after you publish your article?
What tools do you use to streamline the process? Social Bookmarking? RSS?
Any methods you use to score quick backlinks?
How do you get your content in front of bloggers?
Ah I see, what keyword are your posts targeting? And what keywords are you targeting for your home page?
Thanks for the knowem recommendation! Is the free version sufficient, or is it worth paying for?
Thanks for the detailed response! Looks like I'm right around #5.
For my website, Recessionitis.com, I'm targeting the keyword phrase "Find a Deal".
Using the AdWords tool, a broad match shows 49,500 local searches, while a phrase search only yields 320. That's a pretty dramatic difference.
Directories? Social Media? PR?
Decrease your bounce rate. If users search for "your keyword," click on your site find it irrelevant and immediately return to SERP, your ranking will decrease.
The first thing I would try would be to improve your landing page.
I'd say more importantly, is what you do with wordpress, no matter what theme you use. +1
+1 on Wordpress SEO by Yoast.
Thanks! We do have an additional details field.
One more question, in SEOmoz diagnostics, I'm getting warnings for "Title Element Too Long" because the crawler is rendering apostrophes as "'" adding 5 characters per apostrophe. Should I be ignoring those warnings?
I see, so the notices are URL's that have the canonical attribute?
I just want to make sure PR isn't passing on to "recessionitis.com/page/2/", "recessionitis.com/?homeq=recent", etc.
Followed One Way Links = Good
Followed Reciprocal = Neutral/Good
Followed Paid = Black Hat
NoFollow = Neutral/Good
I've used Picasa and Flickr and have found Flickr to be my favorite.
Flickr has higher ranks and a larger community, increasing the chances of your pictures being found.
I run a Q&A site (Recessionitis.com), should I limit posts (questions) to 64 characters for SEO purposes?
Right, SEOMoz Diagnostic notices.
So are the notices showing urls that should be seen as Canonical or url's that are seen as Canonical?
Crawl Diagnostics is showing a lot of Rel Canonical warnings, I've installed Wordpress SEO by Joose De Valk and Home Canonical URL plugins without success. Any ideas?
I'm getting a lot of URL's that I thought I blocked from being indexed, such as author pages, category pages, etc.
I'm also getting stuff like "recessionitis.com/?homeq=recent" and "recessionitis.com/page/2/", those pages are similar to my homepage. I thought those plugins were suppose to automatically clean things up.. anyone use these plugins that have any helpful hints?
Broad, [Exact], or "Phrase"?
Random noob question that I thought of.
I'm getting spammy trackbacks/pingbacks on my Wordpress site. Should I bother deleting these or do these count as backlinks?
I've never tried it. But that gallon of milk sitting in my fridge looks rather tempting right about now
New to SEO and want to stay clean,
What are white hat incentives you can offer in exchange for links?
Giveaway for their readers? Give them helpful advice? Record video of me drinking a gallon of milk within 5 minutes?
Are sites like ReviewMe or PayPerPost white hat? Are follow links allowed within the post?
Should I use those aforementioned services, or cold contact high authority sites within my niche?
Well there's miles difference between good and great. I'd say a good 90-95% of blog posts out there (let alone guest blog posts) aren't StumbleUpon worthy - and most fall within the "good enough" range.
How long?
a.) 500 words
b.) 1000 words
c.) As many as I need to get a link
How good should it be?
a.) Digg/StumbleUpon worthy
b.) A decent article that the webmaster wouldn't mind posting.
c.) Good enough for a link
Who should you go for?
a.) Go big or go home! High authority
b.) Start small

Hi guys,
New guy to SEO and new site, need some help.
I've got a really good article (Deal Guide: How to Pay $50/mo (or nothing) for Unlimited Everything on AT&T), a few days old and it's already going viral on StumbleUpon and is getting shared on Facebook and Tweeted. My question is, now what?
What can I do to boost it's value? I feel like I should be doing something to further push my article and build recognition for my new website.
Should I run a Facebook sponsored story and further increase "likes" and shares?
Blog/Forum commenting? I've done a little bit of this but there's so many iPhone 4s articles out there, that I don't know where to start. Should I be hitting the high PR pages? How can I find out if comments are follow/no-follow?
Any other ideas?
MozBot crawled a found a couple errors that isn't included on my sitemap plugin, such as duplicate page content on author pages.
Should I worry about things not on my sitemap?
