Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Another route you can consider is: www.textbroker.com. I've worked on both the 'client' and 'writer' side and one of the nicest perks as a 'client' is that you can create instructions for the writer to focus on a specific topic, include keywords, links and more. Additionally, if the author fails to meet any of the criteria outlined in the job description, you can request Textbroker to have the author 'revise' their article.

As far as pricing is concerned, the articles are generally priced between $10-12(US) for a quality entry created by a 4/5 or 5/5 ('star') writer.

I wouldn't recommend adding it in the signature section.

And, if you're referring to adding links back to the home page as hyperlinks within the content, I would not recommend that either.

I'm sorry if it sounds redundant, but you want to rank to link to sites that appear at the top of the search results for the keyword your trying to rank for or sites that link back to you.

Have you considered adding it in the navigation menu, pending your site has one or perhaps some sort of slider with a link back to the home page.

I'm not positively sure what you're asking, but tried to give you some clarification (and cover all my bases). If you can be a little more specific, I'd be more than willing to help you more.

I recently saw a gif that appears generally right above where the bar graph goes that enables you to choose 'fast loading' v. 'precision' or someting like that. Have you seen this, have you tried making any adjustments there?

I believe it's a relatively new feature, I, personally, had never seen it until a few days ago.

Agreed, this is a great way to 'strike while the iron is hot'. The only way to make this more 'pronounced/clear' would be to create a sense of urgency, i.e.'Click Here Now!' vs. 'Please Click Here to See All the Great Offers'.

Should work even faster if you post the link to your Google+ profile hint hint

Hello Mozzers,

A colleague and I have been collectively managing about 12 brands for the past several months and we have recently received a number of messages in the sites' webmaster tools instructing us that 'Googlebot was not able to access our site due to some errors with our robots.txt file'

My colleague and I, in turn, created new robots.txt files with the intention of preventing the spider from crawling our 'cgi-bin' directory as follows:

User-agent: *

Disallow: /cgi-bin/

After creating the robots and manually re-submitting it in Webmaster Tools (and receiving the green checkbox), I received the same message about Googlebot not being able to access the site, only difference being that this time it was for a different site that I manage.

I repeated the process and everything, aesthetically looked correct, however, I continued receiving these messages for each of the other sites I manage on a daily-basis for roughly a 10-day period.

Do any of you know why I may be receiving this error? is it not possible for me to block the Googlebot from crawling the 'cgi-bin'?

Any and all advice/insight is very much welcome, I hope I'm being descriptive enough!

That is a good baseline figure.

I also read somewhere (might've been SEOMOZ) that a good formula to determine whether or not you're keyword stuffing is: #/keywords (divided by) #/total words = >5.5%.

Hope this helps.

Andrea,

I'm glad to hear someone had a better experience than I did, smh. Even after getting enrolled in their 'Engage' program, got an account rep, etc. they did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and provided me ZERO INSIGHT into how to get a site that was rejected, approved.

My question to you is: what Jedi Mind Tricks did you employ to get that 'better experience'?
