Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Ok that is interesting!

So the next question is how are Google determining who owns which website? Are they using who is data? Or something else altogether?

Thankyou for the above points.

I think it's worth pointing out that our keywords are Niche, so although there are a lot of competitors we currently are the mojor brand representing our service.

What we are looking to do here is create new websites, each branded individually offering the same service.

Yes we may be cutting down a consumers choice in reality, but is that an issue when our business core is to offer the best service possible?

I understand that morally this is a grey area. BUT. Has anyone actually attempted or done this with individual sites rather than other methods.

Thanks,

Hey guys,

I tried to search across the q&a for an answer but came up with nothing for this.

I'm competing well for our keyword rankings with 20 keywords, 13 of which on the first page and 9 in the top 3. Which is great!

But what we are interested in doing is taking over the rankings. Currently competitors reside around us in the serps taking up the remainder of traffic.

We are considering creating new websites and competing on the same keywords to rank and eventually take over the google rankings for our products. So that if you were to look to buy 'purple buttons' the top 5 websites sell these but are owned by ourselves.

The question is. Has anyone else done this? What are googles views? Are there any traps that we could run into?

As far as I see it the only real issues we could run into are with google on a moral basis.

Thoughts?

Thanks Andy!

I will look to implement those changes!

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks for responding Andy.

The benefit of joing the list is that they subscribe to the guestlist of the club they choose for their chosen date. WIth instant response via text and email, with a follow up call within the hour.

Plus it does also give them access to our weekly newsletter which covers celebrity gossip emailed to them weekly.

Are you describing the 'Join Guestlist' buttons in Pink? If so are you suggesting I make these larger?

Yes I agree listing the benefits of joining the guestlist should be listed on the advert where the girls face is.

Hey all,

As always thanks in advance to any help given.

So I think we haven't done a bad job, but I know there is always more that can be done with conversions.

We have a website which provides guestlist to clubs in London, we are competitive on our keywords and ppc and get the clicks through with very very relevant adverts and meta descriptions....

The questions is 'How do I improve our conversion rate on page?'

The said pages are setup like the examples below:

www.capitalalist.com/movida-guestlist/

www.capitalalist.com/chinawhite-guestlist/

www.capitalalist.com/mahiki-guestlist/

The conversion comes when the click 'join guestlist' and fill out the form.

Any help with be GREATLY appreciated!

Has anyone had any experience submitting to DMOZ and waiting times.

The category i've submitted to has only a few links (http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/London/Westminster/Arts_and_Entertainment/)

Yet I submitted the site (www.capitalalist.com) over a month ago!

Can anyone give examples of waiting times, or a way to perhaps get some feedback from DMOZ?

Thanks in advance as always...

That's great Brett, thanks for the idea. We will certainly look into this. Does anyone else have any tips on how to get more interaction going with your facebook friends?

This is a messy way of doing it in my opinion and will cause you plenty of cross browser issues. But... You can create a background image for the overall div then create a new div inside of it for the like button and use z-index to float it above and simply use margin-left and margin-top to position it. Problem solved If stuck use a css/html forum to ask about the specific code.

OK. Embedding the button into a graphic cant happen.

This all ties into the facebook graph API and is a plugin specifically created at facebooks side to be standard across the board.

Sorry buddy. But no can do.

Work out a way to put the like button where it will be noticed.

Our site: www.capitalalist.com throws it at the bottom of every page.

Here you go buddy.

Short answer is yes, but it will take 24 hours...

Personally I believe its best practice to have user friendly urls, rather than search generated ones. Google favours this and so do the users. It may be a lot more work to implement, but in my experience (having a site with a lot of categories and posts) it was well worth it.

Its wort checking out the webcast made back in the summer called something like 'successful link  building'. The overall message was the classic link building is dead and that social media signals and great content will do your work for you. Have a look at the video and all becomes clear.
