Hello,

This is more than tricky. I have witnessed websites that are ranking high doing the same practices (Most of Internet Marketing Companies, Web Design Companies, Themes, Plugins etc) but such link schemes have costed thousands and thousands of websites.

Here is example of one big brand victimized recently by such link schemes

• http://searchengineland.com/google-has-officially-penalized-rap-genius-for-link-schemes-180777

There are hundreds of such examples. So if you like to move this way

• Use Non Money Anchor (May be Brand Name)
• Make sure to turn link into "Nofollow"

I strongly agree with Travis! Nice advice in deed!

I hope that this will help!

Hey Daniel,

You might be looking to use these landing pages for PPC. Just make them "nonindex" through robot to avoid duplicate issues with your website! Please make sure that it will be implemented with care.

Hey Shawn,

You can get estimations of CPC through Adwords Keyword Tool or Keyword Spy!

But I agree with Adam, it's more theoratical! CPC depends upon

• Quality Score of keyword

Which is derived from 3 Things

• Click Through Rate
• Quality of Ad
• Landing Page Experience

Overall performance of campaign depend upon many other factors as well!

I hope this will help!

Wiki Pages links are Nofollow'ed So They do not pass link juice to the external pages.

But Wiki links are still valuable as it adds authority/diversity  as well as traffic too.

Thanks

Hey Keith,

Let's discuss things one by one

1. Title Tags

• Too long! It must be around 60 Characters with spaces (Some Suggests 70 as well). So, try to fix it
• Be unique for every page. Like for About Page, you can use "About | San Francisco's Leading Video Production Company". For Services "Video Production Services San Francisco". Search more keywords for your business (Google Keywords Tool)
• Use your brand as blog title. Using keyword is not very recommended as it leads to increase length and over -optimization

2. Meta Description

• Unique description of around 160 words with proper optimization of keywords is ideal
• Your Meta descriptions are not optimized at moment. Please optimize them

3. URL Structure

• Optimized URL is not all about placing keywords in URL
• Deliver authority to your pages and they will start to rank

I hop this will help!

Hey Anton,

As far as links pointing to other pages of website, no problems as they belongs to internal linking which is nice in deed!

But for links pointing to other websites (Clients), please apply no-follow attribute to them as they are currently passing authority of your website and this is not an ideal thing!

Regards

Hey Alan,

Reducing footer links is certainly a good idea. Using lots of footer links is an outdated SEO Technique. Yes, adding text links is really a good and recommended thought!

It's not gonna affect your rankings. You can give links from other navigations like sidebar. If you are redesigning website, you must see this video of Rand: http://moz.com/blog/what-should-i-put-on-the-homepage-whiteboard-friday. It will help for sure!

Hi Lee,,

I think We just need to be smart in guest blogging.

You don't need to Post your Links in the author area going forward and just add links in the body of Articles and If We add links to some other sources then It will be even Good.

Just Make it Look Natural with images, links to other creditable sources thats all.

Thanks

I have been Noticing it with one of my clients Website in Australia Where Google Keep changing Rankings URL's. Some day inner page and some day homepage back.

I think that Now We are only building branded Anchor text links So Google is Taking the best optimized page to rank for a Search term itself.. Just my thought.

thanks

Hey,

This is good idea if implemented properly! You need to check few things before redirecting this domain

• Verify that there is not Manual Penalty to this domain (Verify it through Google Webmaster Tool )
• Check the back-links of domain if any. It might be victim of Penguin 2 & 2.1 (You can use ahref.com or Moz Explorer)

Redirecting this domain without above verifications could lead to further trouble!

Hi,

I think Its a Good idea to disavow first and then Go after the Link removal thing.

I have a domain which got penguin penalty , We have Spent alot of time in removing links and Still have domains where links can not be deleted duw to certain issues So Atlast We have to disavow them.

So I would advise you to Disavow all of the bad backlinks first and then spend time in removing them.

Also, As Matt said above, It is impossible to recover domain from penguin in around 3 weeks Time.

You my better to start a New domain.

Thanks
