Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Ok I tried this and at first it did not seem to work. Now it is working. Maybe the only missing peice to the puzzle was turning my computer on and off?? Anyway the toolar now looks different to the other one and the SERP Overlay tool is working. Big thanks.

Thanks for the attempt Gyorgy maybe it will be useful for someone else but no luck for me on this one.

I'm using the firefox 4.0.1, Would locaton matter being from Austraila??

I have the SEOMoz toolbar installed. In the settings I have a tick next to Display SERP Overlay. When I first activated this it showed up but with no data just continually searching for a long time. Now it is not showing up at all.

This is such a great tool, how can I get it working?

Thanks,

Daniel.

In the rankings section if I add these two terms to monitor They are both monitored:

Fresh fish

fresh fish

Do search engines give more weight to capitals on some small scale or is this an error in the app?

Thanks,

Daniel.

Thanks Marcus this is what I was after. Big help.

I use Open Office Calc also so double points.

Like in the SEOBook toolbar where you can click the information button and get the number of links to the domain and specific page for .edu and .gov sites.

Thanks,

Daniel.

On the "On Page Repord Card", in the "Page Analysis Detail" section, I can click "Read More" for each factor and see a "Recommendation" on how to fix the page to meet that factors criteria.

Are these recommendations the same everytime or will they vary depending on the page itself?

Can get a copy of each recommendation that would appear if none of the criteria were met?

Thanks,

Daniel.

Ok so more research shows that it is a good idea to have a google places page set up for each business location.

Still I would like to know if anybody with experience in the area can answer the following:

Should I use the home page as the landing page from each individual google places page or is it better to have a specific landing page for each one?

one business, multiple physical locations

What is the best practice with having multiple locations in Google Places.

Does having multiple Google Places set up for each business have a big effect on local rankings for the individual areas?

Should I use the home page for the website listed on each page or is it better to have a specific landing page for each Google Places listing?

Any other tips?

Thanks,

Daniel

I particularly like this idea, "For instance, why don't you use your Twitter account, spread the knowledge of it also offline to your real customers, and than use it really as a for real time communication about your products with them. E.G.: "I have just received a wonderful bluefin tuna. Want to know what do it with it (link to a recipe with bluefin tuna on your site)"." Thanks.

This is probably the advice I needed. I will make an effort to make clients a little more aware of the importance of this and to really keep an eye out for the postcard. Thanks Hansjorg.

I know It is not a good idea to have duplicate titles across a website on pages as Google does not like this. Is it ok to have duplicate titles on pages that aren't being optimised with SERP's in mind? or could this have a negative effect on the pages that are being optimised?

Say I have a 5 page website with 300 words and 4 images on each page. No or little dynamic content. No blog. Is it still possible to get good SEO results in a site like this? what would be the best strategy? what challenges would I need to over come? or is it just too much of an up hill battle?

When it comes to link building for a client how important is it to get on the phone when chasing links from other sites? Would you say this done all the time, half the time, not at all?

Is this the SEO experts responsibility or the clients?

Update: Really hoping to get an idea of how important this is to acheive good SEO results. Any chance the SEOMoz employees have any answers here?

What advice do you have for achieving verification for Google Places for a client?

I have a client at the moment and I tried getting the call sent through and I'm not sure what happened but a couple of tries at this did not work. I've tried the post card way and I'm still waiting.

Do I need to be more patient in Australia for this verification post card?

Is there a way I can verify the info myself?

note: I have set up a seperate email that there business email to handle a lot of the link building but this is different to there business email which Google uses.

For those who are conducting SEO here in Australia:

A lot of the info I read, and there is a lot, is generally from the States or UK it seems. Are there any things in particular I should look out for when doing SEO in Australia?

Are there any SEO tips that are particular to Australia only?

What directories are a must in Australia?

I feel a lot of my link building might be a bit heavy on the directory links side. Should I limit the percentage amount of links as a part of my overall link profile? If yes what percentage of links is ok to be directory links?

From a business perspective It seems a better idea to have one site and multiple domains pointing to that one site.

Is there any benefit as far as ranking well in Google to having a site set up on each domain with links to the main site?

Does you have any success from a business point of view in using this strategy?

P.S. This is my 4th question in Beta testing, just want to make sure I'm not taking advantage of your generosity and if it is fine to keep asking questions here.

I'm attempting to build links for a seafood market / restaurant and I'm finding my creativity and knowledge of SEO being stretched, which is a good thing of course. Can you help me grow here?

I have the client interested in writing articles but he has little time for this. I want to make sure it is worth it.

Is article writing and submission worth the time and effort for a business like this?

How would I go about link building though articles for a small business like this?

I'm attempting to promote a fresh seafood market / restaurant here on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. I have not found a lot of examples of people using Twitter and Facebook to promote this type of business here.

Is it hard to justify the time for return here?

One benefit I thought for twitter is we could have tweets displayed on site giving us some dynamic content which would hopefully keep Google spider coming back more regularly is this correct?

Is there any link building advantage to using these social media sites?
