Welcome to the Q&A Forum

quick question,

I have set up my second website purely for seasonal stock so getting it online early ready for when the time is right.

But i only have a single web master tools & ad words account, would there be any problem with the single accounts having the details for both websites? or would it be wise to have separate accounts for each site?

Each and every day i get called up from an SEO company who promises to get me top spots in Google rankings if i quickly get on their special offer they have today normally i would say "no thanks and put the phone down" but i had a bit of spare time so i indulged the guy and we got talking.

After the introductions and speal about his company he was showing me what his company does and how they go about it to get me top ranks (they don't get me ranks but create a website they own which then passes leads to me- kinda clever since they could then start charging me per lead or my competitors)

We continued to talk and i mentioned i used SEOmoz to check my rankings and back links etc and he told me that Google are cracking down and anyone using these types of software/websites will get their websites de indexed.

This struck me as BS but i wanted to get your thoughts on the matter,  i personally don't believe Google would ever do such a thing as this since it would be so easy to get your competitors websites taken down (i.e. negative seo) but its certainly a talking point.

Hi Marcus Well I want both I'm greedy like that but I don't want to keep linking directly to Facebook but rather link to my website which then links to Facebook. So I want to continue to promote the competition but direct the entrants to my web site which then links to Facebook. Hope that make sense

Hi all, Just a quick question .. I currently have a competition running on Facebook for fan page likes likes but I also have a post on my blog also talking about the competition which links to Facebook and my main e commerce site. since the competition is doing relatively well i would like to draw more attention to it but via my blog rather than linking to Facebook ... how would you go about it? Many thanks

hi Marcus, more gold! i couldn't ask for more!

you have been an inspiration today and you & people like you, are the reason why seomoz is such a great place.

Hi Marcus,

Thank you for the inspiration there to get the ball rolling, i should probably have mentioned i had a blog (which i do) and have been using this to create some content which isn't being found.

I have covered the history of a toilet (here) but never thought of turning it into an info graphic - i think its time to get the old Photoshop out and give it a whirl although my skills are just as legendary as my SEO skills

the link to point-blank seo is something i have been following and working through along with the twitter profile links he also posts on another part of his website - he has some great stuff and i find myself reading more than doing!

that brings me to another question i would like an answer to, since the majority of the content i am posting is to my blog how do i get those people who do eventually like my content to link to the website or will the links to the blog and then link to ecommerce site from within the post be just as good? - that sounds convoluted but i lack the terminology to make a coherent sentence

anyway

thank you again marcus your help is very much appreciated

hi Marcus,

Thank you for the quick reply hopefully the info here will help

my url

washroomuk.co.uk

competitors (these show up the most)

direct365supplies.co.uk

galleonsupplies.co.uk

Keywords (small selection of main keywords -long tail variations left off)

washroom related product type names i.e hand soap dispensers etc

Industry -

public/office wash rooms products i.e. automatic soap dispensers, hand dryers, toilet paper dispensers etc (anything you find in a restroom)

The competition has been around for a long time compared to my website so i know this is a major factor and something i cannot replicate.

i cannot think of any more information off the top of my head which will be relevant

many thanks

After setting up SEO Moz and whilst waiting for it to crawl my site i have checked out my competitors who are ranking for the keywords i am going after.

It appears from what i can see in OSE that they are ranking with back links from spammy looking sites and lots of exact match anchor text.

I have tried to match a few links with what they have currently without getting myself into anything too spammy but i really don't want to follow how they have done it exactly.

The niche i am in is pretty boring but the rewards are great but i am finding creating content and distributing it correctly difficult which is why i need some help.

My site is roughly 9 months old and the product descriptions are hand written trying to give as much info as possible with a hint of personality so no cookie cutter back of the box descriptions.

i have matched a few of the links from competitors which weren't too spammy and as relevant as i could get to my niche, i have also created articles for some article directories - all of which isn't really getting me very far and i am running out of ideas on how to create new content & the types of new content to help me get back links naturally.

If any of you friendly guys could offer me some assistance in setting up a basic seo campaign which would help me target my keywords i would be very much in your debt

hi, just started here and going through my website to make sure everything is fine and relevant to the search terms i am aiming for.

However i notice a lot of my pages have an authority of 1 which clearly isnt acceptable! how do i best go to modify this so the authority is risen?
