Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I use shareasale.com to track the performance of affiliates. I think there is no best affiliate network out there. What works for you is the one for you.

You can't target IP addresses in Google Analytics or site catalyst. Your core audience are those who complete a goal conversion or an e-commerce transaction.  Apply the advanced segments: 'visits with conversions' and 'visits with transactions'  to your analytics report and then look at your daily/weekly/monthly visits/visitors or other metric.  GA will tell you what percentage of visits resulted in goal conversions or e-commerce transactions.

As long as i know you can't add wildcard sub-domains to Google webmaster tool (GWT). You can add up to 1000 websites to your GWT account. If you have more than 1000 sites than use another Google account. Since reporting works best on a site level, i would add each sub-domain as a site.

You need to add setTimeout() method in your Google Analytics Tracking code something like this:

_setTimeout(“_gaq.push(['trackEvent','Profitable Engagement','time on page more than 3 minutes'])”,180000);

yes

prweb.com is a decent pr site. There is a possibility that you can get a link from yahoo news and other big websites. Regarding SEO benefit, it will be temporary as your press release will get archived pretty quickly because of large volume of new press releases being published daily. You should also use HARO for branding purpose.

you may  be blocking the mozbot. Do you remember the exact date when it started happening? If yes then you can identify and revert the changes. Also check your robots.txt and .htaccess file for any abnormal changes during this time period.

I generally use heading of the landing page as the title tag. This makes the title tag relevant to the landing page and it also improves the CTR (provided your landing page handing is really Click worthy in the first place).  I use business name at the very end of the title tag and never at the very beginning no matter how big a brand is. I also don't repeat keywords because they don't help SEO wise and make the title tag looks spammy. i hope it helps.

such rankings drops are generally temporary. wait for few more days. How soon you will recover your rankings depends upon how frequently Google crawl and index your website.

Did you change the title tags of some of the pages knowingly or unknowingly? This could be one of the main reason. Other reasons can be accidental changes in the robots.txt file, htaccess file or incorrectly placed rel=canonical, meta noindex tags on certain pages. There is also a possibility that your website is hit by recent Penguin update or for over optimization. You need to check your website against all of these possibilities.

a).301 the domain to the main site if it has lot of back links from other relevant websites.

b) if you run a blog on the keyword rich domain than maintain the blog. add new relevant contents daily. Because of your domain name you wont face much problem in getting top 10 ranking for 'ekspert tips'

c) Register this domain if possible. You can use it as a landing page to acquire leads.

let the people redirect to non https versions. what is the problem here? They won't loose items from their basket when redirected from https to http version. And when they are 'checking out', the protocol will remain secure via SSL as pages which need to be https wont redirect to non https.

1. it can create duplicate content issues and not a good seo practice.

2. You can 301 redirect all the https versions to the http versions and apply meta robots noindex, follow to the handful of pages that need to be https.

Google can index URLs up to 2047 characters in length. You will receive a 414 error if you exceed 2047 character limit.

Google can determine the screen resolution your website supports and can then calculate the contents above the fold through some predefined criteria. So it has nothing to do with the screen resolution of the end user. To better understand how Google do this, check the browser size tool in Google labs. The concept of above the fold used by Google is to actually filter out those web pages on which ads outweigh the contents as it leads to poor user expedience..

How you can get ROI from Google+ when the target audience is not there? I work in the fashion and medical industry and no one is on Google+, at least not in that numbers where i can think of running a social media marketing campaign. Google+ is predominantly occupied by the tech industry. Period.

Google wont penalize you for duplicate web design. But it does look at the layout of a web page to check how much content is above the fold using page layout algorithm. So while designing a layout make sure that you have considerable amount of contents above the fold. Web design doesn't effect ranking position directly but indirectly it can effect because of high bounce rate and other user metrics.

You wont be penalised for such type of redirect. You can block all the traffic coming from their domain or IP via .htaccess file.

I use 'semrush' to determine keywords which are bringing maximum number of organic traffic to my competitors website.  I also use 'screaming frog seo spider' to quickly scan the title tags of my competitors and determine the keywords they are targeting. You can also use 'xenu' for this purpose. Competitive analysis can give you lot of keyword ideas which you may not be able to find otherwise.

If i were you, i would have 301 all the versions to the page which is ranking highest for the targeted keyword and put all the contents on that page to make it a super rich link bait.

At the end of each blog post/article remind your readers to follow you on twitter. This work wonders. Another cool way is to pay by tweets. If you provide a downloadable resource on your website, then make it available only after tweeting about it. Make sure that your twitter button recommends to follow you, if a visitors is not already following you. With the passage of time you will get many followers.

Create a new profile in your account which tracks only those web pages which need to be accessed by another company. Then give the other company access to that profile only (and not to the whole account. A GA account can have multiple profiles, remember!). There is no need to track same web pages through multiple GA accounts.

I would suggest using the canonical tag on duplicate pages until you come up with new contents.

When did you make changes to the title tag? The new title tag will appear in the SERP only when the page is re-indexed by Google.

No need to add nofollow to the footer links. Keep it natural.

You should use rel=canonical tag on duplicate content pages. Google can read text embedded as an image through OCR algorithm. So duplicate image is not a good option. Moreover think how these images will increase the load time of the web pages.

Google will ignore this tag.

Try Google keyword tool. Enter your site address and click on the search button. Sort the results by relevance. Analyze the top 100 results and you may get an idea of what Google thinks about your site.

It is not going to make any difference. Time is better spend in fixing crawling & indexing issues of the website.

There is no such thing like that. You have been misinformed.

Did you try eightfoldlogic and ontolo? Then there are also advanced search queries like : Keyword + inurl:category/guest, Keyword + “guest post” etc which can help in finding guest post opportunities.

phpb has major security issues and its back end is not as Good as vbulletin.

Hi! The problem is with your regex. The letter '*' is used to check for any number of occurrences (including zero occurrences) of the preceding character. So you are basically checking for zero or more occurrences of the character '/'. Try this regex: /listings/[0-9]+. For details google 'regular expressions guide for seo'

A site with a lower domain/page authority may get filtered out by Google. Why don't you use cross domain canonical tags if you can't fix the duplicate content issue at the moment. There is a good post on this topic on seomoz. You just need to search for it.

Your aim should be high search engine rankings and conversions, not grades. Please bear in mind that seomoz grading system just promote seo best practices they don't have 1 to 1 correlation with search rankings. So i will suggest you to focus on link building instead.

Check all traffic sources report in your Google Analytics account and determine which traffic sources have experienced a significant drop in traffic in the last few days. If it is Google organic, then determine the keywords which are sending less traffic now. Always check your analytics whenever you experience a significant rise or drop in traffic.

you can check the crawling date of any page by clicking on the 'cached' link in SERP or through Google toolbar.

Yes most probably. Incoming links play an important role in crawling and indexing of a web page.

No they don't need to have absolutely unique product description. You can make your product pages unique through user generated contents (UGC) like comments, reviews etc. However in the end you must find a way to create uniqueness on your product pages.

pages which are hosted on web servers located in Australia.

There are no such rules. The frequency of crawling & indexing depends a lot on how frequently you post new contents on your website. If you post new contents several times a day, then Google may crawl & index your web pages within minutes.
