Blog Roll Links - A good or bad thing ?
I Use Blog roll links all the time but recently they seem to be having a lower effect on listings. Is there a limit on Blog roll links you place on a blog.
Internal blog roll links and external blog roll links.
Also do you rename your blog roll to something such as popular links like we do ?

Linking Back to the Same Page
What are the other seo's opinions on linking the same keyword you are targeting lets take an example like Trampolines.
So we have a Online shop selling trampolines would you feel it a good or bad thing to link the keyword trampolines from the homepage to the homepage almost creating a loop.
Some SEO's say yes some say no ?

RE: Whats your regular routine ? Can we learn new things from each other
Hi no worries yeah I totally agree. The company that provides the CMS are making this possible soon.
I am still amazed this site is first page for mens skincare already.

RE: Targeting Keywords from the homepage
My experience your main keyword must be the first keyword on the meta title or description.
Would you both go with that ?

Targeting Keywords from the homepage
I tend to focus on two or three main keywords to target from the homepage. In fact come to think of it from all pages.
Do you target up to 10 keywords of more from one page. Taking longer tail keywords into consideration.
Granted the limits to any phrase or keyword group.

RE: Whats your regular routine ? Can we learn new things from each other
Would you guys be open to share some examples of your work ? Here are a few of mine -
http://www.dryhide.co.uk and http://www.alfrescolivingonline.co.uk
Working on both of these at the moment would be cool to get any positive or negative (you can improve here) feedback.

Whats your regular routine ? Can we learn new things from each other
I tend to work on the on page changes first of all following keyword research. Then take a look at some internal linking,
Setup a wordpress blog on /blog or sub domain and get my copywriter to start adding regular content .
Next stage is link building
Old fashioned emails requests, blog comments taking a look through existing sites we own for relevant places.
On going analysis once positions change.

RE: How would you deal with eCommerce sorts?
we found ourselves in this very position and it was at a point where we were looking out for issues for a site not indexing.
We removed it but then again you find many examples where it isnt a major issue. Maybe try to combat that with canonicals ?

When looking to improve a sites ranking . I am working on a site that has script errors and needs fixing have you had any experience ?

Is it still possible in certain industries
To take a site from no where to the top of google in some of the top industries such as Gambling and Finance.
I am a never say never type entrepreneur and say yes the logic is there as with all SEO to break into it.
How do you feel the internet will shape up in say 10 years time will we see less of the smaller guys take on the world with the larger keywords.

RE: Ever Get disillusioned with SEO
Your spot on the top three has to be achieve to be in the money. I have had a few examples that have delivered traffic with being at the bottom of the first page but not many.

RE: Ever Get disillusioned with SEO
I agree but I do feel that some SEO companies can fail to mention the fact that SEO and CPC are both needed in many cases. Customers feel CPC is an expensive means to an end when in reality they have to complete it to have any sort of full market share online.

Ever Get disillusioned with SEO
Many times now we have pushed certain keywords for homepage listings but we have found the traffic levels to be very poor and many cases first page listings turn out to be vanity.
The frustrating thing is that sometimes we have to tell some of our SEO customers that in order to get a good market share for there industry they will always have to do google adwords.
What are your thoughts on this .
Thanks

RE: Your Biggest SEO Jobs Explained
its interesting how the little niche industries such as these provide these type of job. One of my biggest jobs for SEO was an online garden centre where I had to name each and every single perennial plant and they have all now been indexed. When I took over the site it wasnt even possible to add unique titles and descriptions in the CMS. I also had to totally restructure it so that the site had sub categories instead of listing products on up to 20 pages.

RE: Scrolling Text Old School SEO and hidden index page
been looking into it and the index page is being shown in Google analytics as receiving a good few thousand visitors per month. So as a result I am going to check the adwords accounts also.

Scrolling Text Old School SEO and hidden index page
We have taken over a site and now find our self looking at the homepage of the site which has hidden scrolling text.
A old school way of adding text without leaving loads of paragraphs. I have also removed all links to the index.htm page but somewhere visitors are still coming to this page in there droves.
I am considering using a canonical url code but I would rather nip it in the bud.
Would love some feedback from some other experts here is the site -
You never stop learning in seo and maybe we can all learn from this example.
Thanks

RE: Category Pages in competition with Homepages
thanks EGOL some great replies. On the sites in question it ranks NO1 for its major keyword on google .
Its a very competitive term in the supplements industry.
Whey protein which other competitors target from their homepages. The sites page is the highest ranking non "homepage"

RE: Category Pages in competition with Homepages
alan I am well aware of the complexities (Granny and suck eggs) comes to mind
Not looking for a in depth response just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this difficulty with category pages.

Category Pages in competition with Homepages
I am finding it a real uphill task with a few of our clients with there either product or category pages competing against other sites on main keywords.
The sites either categories or product specific pages are in direct competition with other sites homepages and I am finding it increasingly more difficult to break into positions.
What are other peoples experiences with this ? Do you feel the way the pages are ranked within the xml sitemap with priority could also be a factor.
