Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks iPositions - we are in discussion with a few people at the moment and ideally looking for someone closer to home - so I will get back to you if we need any more help.

Hey Marcus,

Thanks for your response.

The clients we are dealing with will generally post a few news articles and are maybe doing a bit social, but they don't want to have too much involvement.

They generally just want to get some results for some fairly non-competitive keywords.

My problem is I don't really have the time to dedicate to the monthly work, so we are looking for a company we can out-source to.

One example is www.stratfordenergy.co.uk.

But essentially - yes - they basically want to spend a few hundred a month and see some results on Google. So maybe the bugger question is - is this just not a realistic option with all the recent changes to Google and SEO world?

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a freelance SEO consultant or company in the UK, who have proven results and don't cost a fortune?

We deal with very small businesses, who want to get some traction on the search engines, but can't afford much per month.

Or are the days of $250 a month contracts gone, because of the work involved now?

Any help appreciated.

After doing some more searching around the site I think I have found the answers myself - should have looked a little better before!

We have a client who is looking to increase the number of results on page 1 of google for their brand name to essentially force some historical negative comments off page 1 of google. I am thinking of things like a twitter page, Facebook page, YouTube page etc. plus optimising their site to try and get multiple pages on page 1. Does any one have experience of doing the same sort of thing?

In the SEOMoz tool bar it says 4,000 links from 101 domains - then I click on the link directly from tool bar and it says 2 domains...

so it seems to be a problem with the tools...?

Why do I get different results from SEOmoz tool bar and OpenSiteExplorer for some sites.

For instance I look at one site and toolbar says it has 101 link domains, so I check it in OpenSiteExplorer and it says 2 link domains...?

Am I missing something, or is it just not working properly?

Thanks! I thought it must be possible, but was just being a bit blind!

Would it be possible to display Ranking data on a graph to show progress over a period of time?

It would be great to be able to show a client how a certain keyword has improved over a time period.

Just a thought...would it be more beneficial just to use a 301 redirect to redirect the domain to my main domain name?

Would it retain the link domain authority?

Thanks that's a very helpful answer.

The domain name is the same owner and same server IP, so probably wouldn't massively valuable - however, it makes sense from a business point of view anyway, so I will probably do it, as long as it isn't a negative effect.

I own a domain that can provide links to my website, but it seems to have picked up a lot of spammy links - 2000+ linking domains. SeoMoz toolbar still gives it a domain authority of 66.

Should I use the domain to link to my site? Or will it have a negative impact?

Thanks - the link is very handy...

Hi,

I am doing some keywords research and I just wanted to check my understanding of keyword theory.

Is it best to select 1-2 keywords per page of the site?

Or should you target the whole site towards a few keywords?

Thanks,

Barney.

Thanks for the answer!

Hi,

I am not sure what is considered best practice when linking between pages on the same site - absolute or relative:

Link

Or

Link

I notice a lot of CMS systems (WordPress) use the absolute method - is there a reason?

Any help much appreciated.

Barney.
