Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Came across a tool last week that gives you the ability to create Video Testimonials, it's part of a Video Marketing Suite.

I was amazed by the statistics that are available in the backend. You can see which testimonial has the most positive influence on visitors, so you can use the best testimonials on your page (and if you want you can reward the person who recorded that video)

So you get the tool, but also the insights in which type of testimonials work best for you...

You can try it at http://www.bubobox.com but they'll have to do some SEO as well in order to get found I think...

Thanks! Because excel didn't seperate the fields right i didn't have the column AF. But i got it now! Thanks a lot!

It doesn't tell me what other pages are identical. Only that there are identical pages.

I want to create a report of only de duplicate content pages as a csv file so i can create a script to canonicalize them. So i get something like:

http://example.com/page1, http://example.com/page2, http://example.com/page3, http://example.com/page4,

Because I now have to open each in "Issue: Duplicate Page Content", and this takes a lot of time.

The same for duplicate page title.

As Martijn already told it's important to know if you want the advanced segments to segment those sections as landingpages (do people reach the website through that page) or do you want to see all visitors who reached those sections (without having to enter the site through that page)

Because this will give you another Reg.Ex.

I think this one speaks for itself...

I'm having a discussion with a third party that's building a website for a client that I advised concerning his SEO.

The site went live 2 weeks ago and it's not getting indexed very well, so my client asked me what could be the problem.

I checked several things that could be the problem, like an xml sitemap that was missing etc. But there was another thing that I saw in the source code:

<base href="http://www.domain.com/">

Can this be a problem for Google to follow internal links? I always thought that you should use the base href like this:

<base href="http://www.domain.com"> so without the trailing / behind the TLD

And even better using absolute instead of relative links, no?

So if the site has a structure like this:

www.xyz.com/overview

and the filter on this page has several options like /?order= , ?brand=, .... I have to rel-canonical them al to www.xyz.com/overview

Another way to find out that you did proper keyword research is to start up an AdWords campaign using your exact keywords and target the campaign in the UK.

This gives you valuable information about the actual search volume... Because you target the keywords [exact], every impression that is generated is an exact search for one of your keywords and will give you an indication of the search volume.

Everywhere you look Google is giving away coupons with 50, 75 or even 100€ of AdWords credit, so you don't even have to invest any money into it...

I was thinking the same... going for a 301 even if the relevancy isn't 100% correct...

Some time ago I struggled with the same problem, and after reading articles on the seomoz blog and questions posted here I went for subdirectories.

subdirectories still give you the ability to add those folders to Google Webmaster Tools and set regio for that folder. You can go with country specific domains as well, but you will have to build links for every domain, whereas you only have to do it once when you choose subfolders.

Hi,

I'm preparing a bulk upload for Google Places and have a question about the url of every individual place.

The website is structured this was:

www.website.com/entrepreneur-X
www.website.com/entrepreneur-Y
...

But you can reach every individual entrepreneur like this as well:

www.entrepreneur-x.com
www.entrepreneur-y.com
...these URL's redirect to the pages listed above

and they use the e-mail address info@entrepreneur-y.com

Should I use www.website.com/entrepreneur-X  or www.entrepreneur-x.com in the bulk upload?

I think it's best using www.website.com/entrepreneur-x because the other url is a redirect. What do you guys think??

For a couple of years we're doing internet marketing for  a local car rental company in Holland that operates at Amsterdam Airport and competes with players like Herz, Europcar, Avis, ... We started with SEO, SEA & Remarketing. With an overall conversion rate of 13% the results are pretty good, and our client is happy Whieee

End 2011 we  started with an evaluation of the efforts we did last year(s) and to come to new insights to work on in 2012. The SEA  & remarketing campaings have a (very) possitive ROI, and they give us lots of insights where we should focus on doing SEO.

We identified longtail keywords with a high search volume but when monitoring these keywords in SEOmoz we see they are fluctuating. Some keywords gain ranking positions in google.nl but lose positions in google.com and vica versa. That's pretty frustrating, because we want to rank good in both

I was wondering what's the best practice for these longtails... Do we make specific landingspages that focus on these longtails, or do we focus on linkbuilding getting links with longtail anchor texts to the homepage of the website?

An example: last week we rose 14 positions for a keyword in google.nl but for the same keyword we dropped 4 places in google.com (while .com is much more interesting for our client)

Any suggestions are welcome!!

When you set up your campaign in SEOmoz, one of the first things you do is choose wether you want the campaign to measure root domain or subdomain (like www, but in your case heartspm)

Another way to find out that you did proper keyword research is to start up an AdWords campaign using your exact keywords and target the campaign in the UK.

This gives you valuable information about the actual search volume... Because you target the keywords [exact], every impression that is generated is an exact search for one of your keywords and will give you an indication of the search volume.

weeks... just checked sitemap & robots.txt and there was indeed a problem with some pages that were blocked.... thx guys!!!

Hi,

The Google Keyword Tool DOES provide enough long tail keywords for Spanish keywords. Maybe there isn't enough data available for the niche you're in, but I never had a problem finding Spanish long tails. Make sure you allready use 2 to 3-word keyword phrases and the results will probably only show phrases made of 3,4 or even 5 keyword.

Another thing you should do is look at the buying cycle of your product/service... In every stage the consumer will have some questions, indentify those questions AND the answers and you will come up with some good long tails... I'm working on an insurance site at the moment (Dutch website), and here are some questions that were generic for every product they sell.

-  compare (e.g. car) insurance prices

• overview prices (e.g. car) insurance

• calculate (e.g. car) insurance price

• tax benefits (e.g. car) insurance

3th tip: make use of the google auto complete tool!!! There you will find some inspiration as well!!!

In my experience posts often rank faster and higher,

Last week I posted an article on a blog of a client of mine, the domain is only a half year old, and it hasn't got many backlinks. The posts that I write for the blog are indexing within a couple of minutes and they tend to rank very high, even for search queries with high volume and high competition.

In this case are building a website about sustainable and durable renovation of houses, and one of the terms he wants to rank for is "bio ecological housing" (I don't know if this is the correct translation), and what we did is make a dedicated page www.website.com/bio-ecological-housing and then wrote some posts like "what is bio ecological housing", "5 benefits of bio ecological housing", "top materials for bio ecological housing"... and we include a strong CTA on those blog posts with a link to the dedicated page. That way we benefit from fast and high indexing of posts.

Seems like you're going the black-hat way... (which is negative!)

Some words in your post make me worry about the long term succes of your efforts:

• 3,4 domains that I will buy with PR3

• low quality text generated by spinner

-I know it's hard work : You think the things above are hard work??? Try real link building strategies, then you will know what's hard work!!!

I suggest you read some posts on SEOmoz blog to see what are link building techniques and strategies, and then work out a strategy for your website.
