Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks guys I'll be in touch.

I've had good experiences growing with Mentors. I don't mind paying the high rates as it has always left me with a good return.

What I'd be looking for:

• Someone to give me direction
• Someone to correct and provide advice on a strategy that I have come up with
• Someone to provide answers when I'm stuck
• Someone that I can grow with

It would help if the mentor has good knowledge of and can help with how social media, blog writing, email marketing all ties in to a good SEO campaign. Ultimately we want to be able to help our clients reach more people any way possible.

With this I feel I can take the next step and start offering these services in a way that works for our business and more importantly allows us to meet the needs of our clients.

But finding an SEO mentor is proving harder than I thought. So does anyone have any tips on where to find a mentor? Who is actually doing it now and would be a good option?

And what would the rates be? I was thinking in the $100-150 range. Is this reasonable for an SEO mentor?

Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Daniel.

Thanks David, at this stage I have set up site to no index follow tag pages. Thanks for blog usability feedback. Related posts is next on the list of to do for the blog.

Ok thanks guys, at this stage I think this is the way I'll go or as David says just use them to organise content and not display them.

Has anyone else found anything out there, articles, videos, anything on Moz that says Google is smart enough to deal with this so it is a non issue.

Also any thoughts on how important blog tags are these days for usability?

If so how bad?

We use tags on our blog and this causes duplicate content issues.

We don't use wordpress but with such a highly used cms having the same issue it seems quite plausible that Google would be smart enough to deal with duplicate content issues caused by blog article tags and not penalise at all.

Here it has been discussed and I'm ready to remove tags from our blog articles or monitor them closely to see how it effects our rankings.

Before I do, can you give me some advice around this?

Thanks,
Daniel.
