Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Do you mean link to the blog from the customers site to give the blog some authority? I think i understand but I want to be clear.

thanks

Thanks for the great answer. Our site has minimal links compared to our competition but our links are quality relevant links. I was always frustrated trying to get good ranking for our site but as you said _your content, and your seo basics, and keep up your principles! _ Well after a year of sticking to our principals we have seen a dramatic increase in traffic and ranking. It's paying off. Thank you moz community.

I have always stayed away from having too many reciprocal links on our sites. It is my understanding the effectiveness of such links are not as effective as they once were and too many such links can be damaging. The reciprocal links we do have are few but very relevant to our product. I think the key word is relevant. I would certainly like to hear more on this subject from some of the more experienced community.

Good Luck and thanks

Does anyone know what we can expect next from Google Panda/Penguin? We did prepare for this latest update and so far so good.

Honestly it's seomoz.

First of all I would put together a detailed and comprehensive audit of the site. This would give me a basis for putting together a priority based project schedule. Second since I do not have an SEO Team I would consider outsourcing portions of the project so that I may achieve timely results for my client. (since your client has deep pockets and is willing to pay I'll assume he will  want  to see timely results). Once I have have a handle on correcting most of the issues found in the site audit I would then put together a schedule for blogging, link building, routine seo, etc..

I have worked with a few SEO's and even though they are talented I see most of then struggle when it comes to project management.

Thanks for the lesson on proper moz etiquette. I am new to this forum and it is by far superior mainly due to its contributors. I am amazed at all the talent on this site willing to help each other.

This Thumbs up is for you.

Thanks

Thanks for the great advice. It is Greatly appreciated.

Maybe try displaying fewer results initially when the page loads and then let the viewer choose the amount of results to display.

Thanks for the help on this. I went back and looked at our history and noticed that on each site we own our bounce rate increased as traffic to our sites increased. Early on we had our best site with a bounce rate of 36% and a year later we are at 41%. Our product is real estate. I may need to re-fresh our content on the landing pages or maybe it is just the increase and the quality of inbound links that have affected this metric.

We have been posting images from our site which  gives you a follow to that page. I am not sure what you gain once someone re-pins your images though.

0% is of course the best case and 100% would be the worst case but what would is considered average. How do you address this subject with your clients?

Just my opinion, Although "WhiteGloveInternational.com" is bordering a bit on the lengthy side It still seems to roll off the tongue quite nicely and it is easy to remember. Personally like it.

It seems like  whiteglolveinternational.com is established, if that is true I would certainly stay with that URL. But if your intent is to create a new URL  I would do the following.

1-Keep your URL at fifteen letters or less

2-Include key words in the URL that are relevant to your site.

3- Avoid hyphens, dashes, etc.

4- Make sure the URL is easy to remember and makes sense to  the user and the bots.

Unless WGIVIP.com has the potential to become the next zappos, or google I would avoid it.

That would be my advice.

Best of luck.

You can place a pre-order on Amazon for the "2nd Edition Art of SEO" .  Publication date is set for March 26,2012. I don't know when it will ship but I am going to order it along with a copy of   Danny Dover's-Search Engine Optimization Secrets. Paperback | I still like holding a book in my hand.

I agree with Brad, It certainly won't hurt to get a jump on the pack. I don;t take anything lightly that google promotes and unlike other social sites google plus does follow.
