Hi Alan
Thanks for the fast response and as always the great reception I am finding from the community.
I probably thought as much as in the link was not worth the bounce rate, but in all honestly I did not realise it was a US site at the time.
I use a search to find forums/blogs relevant to our site topic and offer sound advice for the problem related to the question (sometimes with a link). As a small part of our marketing this really has got some great results especially when other people in the forum back the advice up with their own experience.
Really will take more care in the future to make sure the advice is really relevant to the user.
Hi all, this is only my second question on SEOmoz since becoming a member over three months ago so sorry if it’s a little bit basic.
As small part of one of our websites promotion we have been giving really good advice on good authority blogs/forums related to our product website.
One of the sites we have offered advice on is from a US website and we added a link to our guide for the problem to our UK site.
In hindsight the product solution is not branded the same in the US so our bounce rate is over 90%.
So the question is when is a link from a related site not worth the high percentage bounce rate?
You might find this tool helpful to analyse your downloaded report from OSE http://www.linkdetective.com/
I am a real newbie but after taking a look at the site I can see there is nothing above the fold in relation to content, the first thing you see is locations on a map and different search result options. One thing that could help is getting some of the content a little more visible above the fold.
I am sure you will get far more insightful and technical advice soon. And good luck.
Hi Dianne just wondering how you got on? We are still with Wesh but if your research has found a better option I would love to know just in case we run into problems.
Followed advice ran report again, now 100% 200: OK, really chuffed thanks!
Thanks guys I will get that sorted.
Still very much a beginner and part time (late nights on our own sites) but this pro membership is proving priceless.
Really appreciate the help!
I would agree with the above as you can really get some good buyer orientated traffic. This tool can help you find forums related to your keywords = http://www.soloseo.com/tools/
Hi
I have just run a crawl test on screaming frog and it is showing quite a few 403 forbidden status codes.
We are showing none of these in webmaster tools, is this an issue?
Hi Diane
We switched around two years ago after having a nightmare with our last host. We did lots of research and ended up using WESH UK. They have been good for us and always very prompted any queries.
Try having a look at the link below and see if its worth it for you?
Thanks Sha!
Will get into all of this tonight. Can’t wait! I have only been signed up to SEOmoz for a few days but feel I have learned more these past few days then I have over the past year!
Thanks for the info and no sleep for me tonight!
Hi Ryan
I feel a little star struck getting a reply from you! Read so many of your posts and replies, the sound advice from you others on here are why I have signed up to SEOmoz.
Really appreciate you’re advice and will stay clear of paid directories and free ones!
As you asked what the keyword we going for it is “lawn grass seed” and the site is www.lawngrassseed.co.uk
Thanks again.
I am I really new when it comes to SEO and especially link building. I have been hooked into websites ever since I did my first just writing content on what I loved. Then came the number one ranking and enquiries!
Since that time I have created many websites and have always relied on good on page optimisation and have got great results in low competition keywords.
Now I am trying to make a living out of this business with multiple websites retailing products I am hitting more moderate competition on keywords and have found myself on a 30 trial with SEOmoz.
This has been a huge eye opener for a beginner and I have not had much sleep since analysing all the data that the tools can give. (My wife thinks I have an online mistress).
What has really got me stuck is the link analysis on competitors open site explorer!
As I am becoming a real SEO research geek and creating spreadsheets on my competitors links I am finding many are paid directory links! (one off 30 dollars’) .
From what I understand from Google is that paid links are against their guidelines? These links are from sites that are ranking above me?
What I am asking is should I follow suit in a fine balanced mix or stay clear of paid links completely?
Where I always write unique content on experience for my content category pages the real chance of organic linking is slim.
Is the only way forward to buy the odd cheeky link?
Hi Bob
