Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Isn't that limited to 25 domains and thus a bit pointless if you're doing a full audit?

I'm doing a link audit and I want to download a spreadsheet of all the links to my website in OSE. There has to be a way to do that right?!

He seems a little spammy tbh... and a little out of our price range. He also openly offers black hat services which seems a little bit brazen to me...

Hi there,

We're possibly looking for a small, completely whitehat SEO firm here in the UK to work with us from early next year. We've probably got a budget of around £200 - £300 a month. We're looking for top up work really, not a complete campaign.

I've checked out http://moz.com/community/recommended but it's not broken down by region or budget. I had an embarrassing phone call with Distilled who it turns out charge £10,000 a month minimum!

Can anyone recommend anyone to speak to?

Thanks Yiannis,

Very helpful answer, I think we have about 27% or so going to our homepage atm, so will be looking to add a few more there to make it look more natural

Hi there,

What ratio links should be to a homepage compared to deep links?

I'm aware there probably isn't a fixed ratio, and it may depend on niche, but i've heard Penguin is on the look out for people that link to heavily to content deep in their sites (product pages etc.)

Any thoughts?

That's great, thanks David!

Hi there,

I have just used the On Page Grader on this page: -removed-

and checked the grade for the following keywords together: wedding venues bath

The On Page Grader has found 15 instances on the page for this keyword. When i view the page source and ctrl-f and search for ''wedding venues bath'', it only finds 8.

Is there an issue with the On Page Grader atm?

Is the keyword volume data shown the number of google adword clicks people made after searching with the used keyword, or is it the exact match search volume??

Moz DA for me. I use OSE after to check the quality of inbound links to the domain if necessary

I should preface my response by saying i'm no expert! (I'm learning) Although i'll do my best to help.

If your client sells mostly locally, I would optimise for long tail, local keywords first... They'll be easier to optimise for and the traffic will be better qualified.

Have you checked search volumes for the search terms in your local area? If your client is based in Chicago say and wants to sell luxury carpets in the area, you should look up the search volumes for things like 'luxury carpets chicago', 'chicago luxury carpets', 'expensive carpets chicago', 'chicago luxury rugs' etc. (you can do the search volume searches here: https://adwords.google.com/o/KeywordTool .).

Once you know the long tail, local keyword combination that has the best search volume, optimise your page for that, and then do the on page grading. If there are multiple towns/cities in the radius that the business operates in, optimise for them as well on the page, or create a landing page separately for each keyword combination.
