Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We are also looking for ways to weed out extra expenses but at the end of the day we want quality tools. So we have decided that the following three tools was the best way to go for our company.

Moz
Keyword Spy
SEM Rush

I know that it is hard at times to not have phone support but I know that it is very costly to have a call center with phone support. I think that you will find that if you place some of your questions here that members of the community will answer them and you will be able to clear the phone hurdle to get you started. Hope this helps.

I can't think of a better solution than basecamp. hands down it does everything a company could ask it to do and more. I have used it for years and have also set it up for many clients to use for their companies. I hope this helps.

I would update the date if the article has had a substantial change in content or the way it was written. It may help it get crawled sooner.

as long as the data is pulling correctly from your google analytics everything should be updating according to plan. I would verify that everything is connected correctly and if you still have questions I would suggest opening a ticket with the help desk here https://moz.com/help/contact

1. How long will it take to recover from this?  This is truly an unknown as it is really hard to say.

2. Is there anything we can do to speed up the recovery process?

Since it is a sign up page there is not a lot of content for google to crawl. So if the bulk of your seo in the past revolved around the content of your blog page it will be hard to give that credit to what is now a sign up page.

3. Why are some of our best performing posts seeing less search traffic even though the URL hasn't changed?

This is due to the overall shift that your domain is going through at the moment. Within a few weeks you should know if this is a long term impact or not. I would check your google webmaster tools section to make sure there are no warnings in there.

I would go with a higher amount of " exact match" keywords. As long as the content on the page that it leads to is highly relevant. Google is all about serving the best content for the search query. So be sure to make the content that the person is clicking through to extremely relevant to the topic. This now becomes a quality of content and by serving highly relevant content as opposed to working on back links google is going to go where the content is all the time. Also the time that the user spends on the site is taken into consideration.

Hope this helps.

Since you have brought up the question I would say that as you are looking for what would be the best for your site always think about how this benefits your site visitors. The focus should always be on content. Is the backlink in question relevant at all to what you are doing as a business? If the answer is yes ask yourself if the site that you are linking to is of any value. How is the trust flow and page rank to that site. I hope this helps.
