Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks very much for responding Umar and the info provided.

I'd love if you could elaborate a bit more on how exactly would I use Followerwonk and fresh web explorer to benefit my SEO strategy?

I have recently embarked on an SEO strategy for my website. I've done a lot of reading and researching here on Moz and on search engine land and have got a good idea of how to build a basic SEO strategy. My own expertise is in PPC, so keyword strategy came easy to me. I rebuilt my website and focused on the on page SEO with every single page, this has brought really great results - instantly. For some of my chosen keywords I have gone from not being ranked to being on Google's first page - within a couple of days of my new website going live, for other's I've gone from being outside the top 50 to being ranked in the top 50, so my on page SEO has really strengthened my position and I now understand how important it is as a ranking factor.

I've also started to create content on a regular basis with 2 or 3 new blogs being uploaded each week, the blogs are based around my businesses main target market's - PPC, Web design, digital marketing etc. These blogs have a lot of links out to good websites, EG "to learn about adwords check out the adwords fundamentals course on lynda.com" and useful info like that.

I also signed up to whitespark for citation idea's so have started adding my site to all relevant directory suggestions that it gives me.

So my question is this, after seeing great early results because of my on page SEO, what are my next steps to increase my rankings?

And more specifically how do I use Moz to help increase my ranking?

During the week, I've started using Open site explorer to find my competitors backlinks, should I now spend my time trawling through these links to find opportunities to add links for my website where I can. Is this a good thing to be doing at this stage?

Anything else that I should be doing now to capitalise on my early results please let me know what it is and please tell me how to take full advantage of Moz to gain a better ranking.

I appreciate all insight!
