Welcome to the Q&A Forum

SEO's are looking for you to convert, and not just be able to do SEO

Things that will help your case:

• being fluent in HTML and CSS would definitely help your case, as well as having fmailiarity with CMS's like wordpress and drupal
• Being an outstanding writer
• Having experience with AdWords (and maybe even adsense)
• Being a problem solver
• Having heavy industry involvement
• Know how to get leads from twitter (or at least get followers)
• Being an expert at onsite optimization
• being able to tell which strategies are going to be able to pan out in the short run and in the long run
• knowing your SEO tools in and out

I encourage you to try to code up your own site (even if it is extremely simple) and get it up on the web. Perhaps even put your resume up

Hello, I was just wondering pretty much what the difference between a static HTML page for your timeline is and what the apps are. Is this something that is going to be wildly popular. What should one focus on when creating these static pages or custom apps?

It seems like outreach and insights is going to be big for Timeline as well. What are the best practices for switching over in a timely manner while staying somewhat slightly ahead of the game?

people know what link building is, but have they ever done it - and has it ever actually helped them? I think there a lot of factors that go into it.

-How influential are you on your industry?
-What kind of SEO do you do?
-Do you do SEO for yourself, or for your clients?

So many different angles at SEO, hard one to pinpoint, but people that have been there and done that. An expert would definitely be someone that is making money for themselves off of their own SEO expertise. Beginners and Intermediates fall short of that.

What does everyone think about this article?

I tend to think its off base, Link building still works and there are tons of things that have to do with SEO that have nothing to do with link building...

I think its actually quite ridiculous and written by people that actually no nothing about SEO...kind of a lame attempt by Forbes, and if anything at all, this is just forbes practicing "SEO" with a link attraction post like this. Becase SEO, is NOT dead

Hello,

I have had an article consistently rank between 3-5 for the last two plu syears now. Recently it dropped down to 11-13. All I did was add my Google plus picture to it.

I have been hearing things along the lines of content rewrites. I am well aware of the fact that there are many duplicates of my article are out there. Is this the legitament problem though? Those articles have links to my sites.

I have even found other articles that link to my article that have been duplicated. So there's all sorts of duplicate syndication out there. Wondering if I should start asking people to take down my article.

Any info on recent Google activity on this subject?
