Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Looks awesome! Thanks so much! I've just taken a look and can't see the process clearly - users upload their own content is that it then share effectively using the platform?

Hello - thank you so much for answering! Do you mean put a screen up at the end saying something like "if you like this video give us a thumbs up and subscribe"? Is it ok to do that and not seen as too tacky?

That's wonderful thank you - I can go back to them with something solid and make a plan now!

Thanks so much for responding! So having keywords in the title text and closed caption, perhaps promoting the video on their website to encourage hits and promoting throughout their social media network to encourage some shares and links back perhaps - would that be a good start? I have bookmarked that website - thanks so much! It's really appreciated

Hello!

I have a someone that does online guitar lessons - their site is www.frethub.com. They use YouTube videos to promote the lessons on their site like this one - http://youtu.be/C1dOYys0H14, they're not the complete lesson but an intro to entice them on. The videos are of a really high quality and have had a few hundred hits in a couple of months - when I did a search on YouTube for "ledato guitar lesson" as an example they were nowhere to be seen despite the quality of the video and using tags etc.

Anyway long intro! What I was wondering is are the rankings on YouTube based predominantly on number of hits or is there a way to use the tags better (presently they put in keywords and what comes up in the autosuggest), does how recently they were uploaded, author authority etc have anything to do with it?

I appreciate it's a massive subject so any help is much appreciated

Thanks alot!

Wow - this looks like an awesome tool! Thanks for your help

Hello,

Sorry to take so long to reply! I've subscribed to their RSS and downloaded their free CRO tools from the site, I can't see the eNewsletter though, is there a sign up for this or will it all come under the RSS?

Your help and advice is massively appreciated, thank you!

Wow - thanks so much for looking into this for me, yes its a brand new site so traffic is really low, have done a bit of (I'll admit not enough!) social media and social bookmarking, any other advice would be fab with regards to increasing traffic? I'm trying to get the client more active on Twitter reaching out to authority figures in the industry as that gets me loads of traffic, they have two companies though so its hard trying to juggle the two I think.

Someone else recommended hubspot too - I'll give that a go, and thanks so much for the advice about the slideshow. Its such a big space and I don't think we are using if effectively. The call to action is the contribute to the gaity of the nation and book Operalicious but we discussed it today and perhaps its not prominent enough.

Thanks again - its so appreciated!

Hi Thomas,

Thank you so much for taking the time to give me all that detail and information! It is quite daunting at the moment but so was SEO initially and I'm always up for a challenge so I'm very keen to give it a go! The SEOmoz software helped me massively when I started so I'm very open to investing in some software also and luckily I've already got the site on my Google Analytics so I can use these more helpfully. The site does have a capture yes and I admit when I've seen the number ones I do prefer them to the traditional ones. What would you say is a good bounce rate or does this depend on industry and I should always be aiming to reduce this down?

Thanks again

Hello!

I have a site I've been working on for a lovely client, a small business start up since Christmas. The site has a very simple layout, is ranking well and maintaining its positions, has solid social media, is receiving enough traffic and ranking for a number of terms. The problem is - conversions! The site just isn't converting.

I have spoken with a few peers who have said advanced CRO will be too much for me to learn in terms of Psychology of Buying, learning about colors, fonts etc. I understand meta descriptions for example are something that I can do, I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on any other basic CRO techniques I could apply to the site before going to a specialist.

Any advice would be MUCH appreciated - the moz community is always so helpful!
