Hi all,

We have thousands of PPC landing pages for our products. Usually, these pages are very similar and may differ only slightly for the keyword in question.

The landing pages are sitting in a sub-domain of our site.

From SEO perspective, assuming we don't want to get hit by Panda, Penguin and other animals Google stuffed into its ranking algorithm...Is it a good idea not to index these landing pages at all (i.e. add meta robots - noindex, nofollow to these pages)?

What say you?

Thanks!

Thanks James! Great tutorial. I'm going to test this box on one of our sites.

Thanks Eugene for your great advise. Would you add the social buttons to your Thank You Pages?

Thank you very much for your detailed answer. It's very helpful.

I agree, there is no substitute for high quality content, and you always have to fit your social activity to your target audience.

However, when all things being equal - assuming you already have a great content and your content fits your customers - you still have to choose which social buttons will generate you the most SEO value. If Google +1s have more SEO value than FB likes, you may decide to place the +1 button first, make it bigger, etc.

Do you know by any chance if there is such hierarchy between the social buttons from SEO perspective? Are FB shares more valuable than FB likes, or perhaps tweets and +1s are the most valuable ones? Which social buttons are most likely to increase your ranking on Google and other SEs?

Cheers,

Y.

Hey Guys,

As you all know there are many social buttons out there that can be added to your website. Facebook Like button, Twitter's Tweet and Follow buttons, Google +1, and AddThis buttons are just a few to mention.

All of these buttons can be customized, eg. you may choose to point your FB Like button to your homepage, to a specific inner page, or to your Facebook Brand Page. Same with your +1 button. Moreover, you may choose to add Twitter and Google+ Follow buttons to your site's pages, and so on.

My questions are very simple:

Is there any best practice for adding social buttons to your site from SEO perspective? if yes,

Which social buttons to add?

Where is the ideal place for them on your page?

Where these buttons should be pointing to? your homepage? specific inner page? or to your official brand pages?

Thanks in Advance,

Yogev.

Hello Mozers!

On the Conversation Marketing blog, Ian Lurie published a lengthy article called Google Plus Box Ranking Factors Report. In it, he claimed amongst other things, that "Keyword relevance of your posts: Totally meaningless. Write whatever you want. Seriously. Just make it good."

What say you?

Are keywords really meaningless?

Thanks in advance!

Wow, thank you Phil for all your great suggestions!

Hey Guys,

My videos are doing well on YouTube with lots of views and comments (about 1.5 million views).

Nevertheless, I can’t manage to get them to appear on Google’s first SERP for my branded keywords.

What am I doing wrong?

What in your opinion are the major ranking factors for YouTube videos?

Thanks!

Thanks for your answer Doug.

Appreciate it!
