Thanks for response.

Well, my stumbling block is budget for tools At the moment I use MOZ a lot and free version of ahrefs. The execs won't expand budget for tools, so I have to compromise somehow.

I personally focus on organics, but we have another person for PPC. Plus I also do full internet marketing analysis for clients, including all channels, so I need to know everything. Just trying to ease my life a bit and save some money before buying tools by listening to people who have used them already.

You said "Increasing conversion rates by understanding customer behavior/flow? PPC analysis to understand how to maximize your budget to see a larger ROI for your campaigns?" - what's your recommendations? I assume for PPC is SEMrush? what about conversions? I use GA heavily + inspectlet(free version).

Thanks for responding. Well, I work for an Internet Marketing company and we do every type of digital marketing.

I understand that different tools are for different needs, however, nowadays most tools have their "strong" part, but the do have most services, at least on basic level. Example: MOZ is strong on analytical part, KW tracking etc, but backlink part is not the best, because MOZscape index is monthly thing. However, Ahrefs, for instance, is kinda of an opposite. They are all about backlinks, but, at the same time, they do have somewhat basic analytical part and KW tracking.

What I'm trying to achieve here is to see what tool is best for what, preferably in one review article, with pricing, cons, pros etc. I have worked with some tools, but far not every one, at the same time we can't spend resources just on trying tools for couple months.

P.S. I'm a big MOZ fan, but execs are demanding to look into other tools.

Hello, fellas.

I've been trying to find some type of comparison analysis for online SEO related tools and I couldn't find any, which are fresh and overview more than three.

I'm interested to see if anybody saw good comparison reviews of such tools, as well as your own thoughts (back your thoughts up with more than just "I like it", please

The tools I'm interested in comparing are:

• MOZ
• Ahrefs
• Majestic
• Spyfu
• SEMRush
• Raven
• Wordstream
• whatever else you use or have in mind

Now, what's about rel="me"?

Anybody has any insight?

Good article, but as you said, statements sometimes conflicting and self-contradicting. I guess the best way is to test and see what works and what doesn't.

Thanks! I'll look into it tomorrow.

Thanks.

What about too many follow links from the same website?

Example: as a webdesign company we have a backlink from every client's footer. So, we used to have them all follow, therefore from large ecommerce websites we were getting 10k+ follow links. We decided to try to do all those links nofollow. Pretty much next week we saw significant enough jump in rankings.

There are lots of articles/discussions about topical relevance of follow interlinked websites as well.

What's your take on this?

Hi.

I say the content and "worthiness" of review is much-much more important than the date. Unless your products are freshness/time dependent. If you've been selling the same shoes for years, then reviews from 4 years ago will be as relevant as from yesterday.

Now, if your shoes had some major issues and you've improved since then, which would affect the reviews, then sure, remove the old ones, as long as they are irrelevant.

Also, it depends on how many reviews you're getting. If you have 5 reviews and 4 of them are from four years ago, then, I think you should pay more attention to actually getting reviews, rather than filtering them. Another thing I'd like to point out is that it's better to have old reviews than no reviews whatsoever.

In terms of SEO effect - as far as I know, the ratings is more important than the freshness. Which does make sense - if you have 1/5 stars with 10k review from last month - it won't be better than 100 5/5 star reviews from couple years ago.

Hope this make sense.

Cheers.

Hi guys,

I just saw this rel="me" attribute and I can't find any reputable recent (within last year) information. I never heard of this and wonder if it's any beneficial in any way.

At the same time, should I use nofollow or follow on links from website to social accounts? I've heard different opinions but, again, no recent relevant and trustworthy information.

Please, kick me into right direction. However, when kicking, please give me some proof, rather than thoughts

Thanks!
