Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have a site that's 2 years old and it completely disappeared from the search results. It wasn't a manual action because I never got a notice in webmaster tools.

Could the site reappear? A lot of people on Odesk say the site will reappear after a few days.

When you start doing SEO/content marketing, how many links should you try and earn per month?

I know it's quality over quantity but I would like to know about your experience and how many you were getting when your site launched.

Thanks!

I'm in furniture e-commerce. I'm not new to e-commerce but I am new to SEO as I used to just hire everything out.

What is the quickest way to build or should I say earn links? So far I've just been contacting bloggers and I've built about 4 links through guest posts in the past month. The problem is I can't tell if this is good or bad. I also contacted a niche directory and they liked my content so they are going to include my website in their directory for free next week.

Should I continue doing what I'm doing?

Do I need to be more aggressive?

Suggestions?

Thanks guys.

Thanks for the response. With a $0.01 bid I'm at the very end of the list so I think that may be a reason. The images are good quality as well, but I do think it's a position issue.

I have about 613 furniture products in Google shopping and am getting about 2 clicks a day. Any tips on getting more clicks?

Current budget is $10 a day at $0.01 per click bid.

Should I increase my bid per click or add more products or both?

Thanks!

Yeah I watched that video like 20 times but I just can't think of a giveback.

Yes but there is no monetary value. Only a product to review. Matt Cutts mentioned that you can give back something other than monetary value. What other incentive would you give?

Could someone critique my email? Thanks!

Hi [FIRST NAME],

How are you?

I wanted to get in touch to see if you would be interested in being sponsored to write a post on your blog about [STORE NAME]? I’ve been looking at your blog and I see that you’ve featured [THE BRAND] a few times and I think [STORE NAME] would be a good fit as well.

We would like you to create a post about our company and we’ll compensate you for the time you’ve taken to do this. You can choose 1 item under $200 in the following categories and we’ll send it to you free of charge:

Accent Pillows

Sculptures

Accessories

Beyond this, you have creative freedom to do whatever you want – the only thing that we require is that you link to [STORE NAME]

If this sounds like something you would like to go forward with, let me know. Or, if you have any other ideas as to how you can partner with [STORE NAME], I’d love to hear them.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank You,

Can anyone give me an example of an outreach email to a blogger? I have a blog post on my site called "How To Clean An Entire House In 60 Minutes" and I'm outreaching this content to home decor bloggers.

What would be an example of a good outreach email?

I'm a bit confused. Every blog I try to outreach on always give me a quote for a sponsored post. Isn't this against Google guidelines because you paying for a link technically even though your paying for a post?

Do you guys buy sponsored posts?

Should this be avoided?

How do you outreach to a blog that offers sponsored posts? They can smell that you want a link from a mile away and give you a nice fat quote.

Does anyone have ideas on how to manage inventory of an e-commerce furniture dropship store made from woo-commerce?

I work with 10 drop shippers who all upload an excel sheet once of month with inventory and discontinued product information.

Right no inventory is not being tracked. I simply tell the customer the item is out of stock which is NOT GOOD in the long term.

I believe I have 2 options:

1. Program some automation
2. Indicated estimated shipping time of 1-6 weeks since an out of stock item takes about 4 weeks to be put back in stock. Remember I am selling furniture.

I don't mean those gigs. I mean people who have a personal blog who are charging $5 for a guest post to get 1 link.

What is your opinion on people offering blog mentions on their personal blog through Fiverr? Is this a risky way to get a link. Here are examples:

I own an e-commerce store and I am get started with my SEO strategy. I know content is extremely important when it comes to link building, however for an e-commerce store what can I do as far as content. So far my only idea is blog posts. It's a furniture store so videos are really hard to do. The blog posts relate to home decor and interior design.

• My question is if people are going to be linking to my blog, will this help my website rank for product terms? The blog is part of the website, websitename.com/blog.

Hey guys,

So I'm starting SEO for my e-commerce furniture store and I'm a little confused. Right now the only links I have are from sponsored posts. How do I get links from other sources? What other sources are there besides sponsored posts? I submitted my site to Dmoz.org and I was also going to submit it to the Yahoo directory. I have contacted a few personal home decor blogs but have not heard back from those people.

Could someone steer me in the right direction.

Thanks a ton!

What other things with SEO would you put that money towards? More sponsored posts?? Thanks!

Hello guys,

Would you pay $10k for a pr9 backlink?

Thanks!

Just had a question regarding Google Adwords. I have an e-commerce store (kiwimodfurniture.com) in the furniture niche and I originally was planning to create a different ad group for each product. Since I have 1300 products I would have 1300 ad groups. However a lot of the products don't have enough search volume and Google won't display my ads. Then I decided to get a bit more broad. I plan on having an ad group for each sub category on my website. For example, modern lounge chairs, modern arm chairs, modern sofas, etc.

Question: Is this too broad? Will the ROI be terrible because of this?

Thanks!

Hello guys,

Quick question about optimizing other pages on my woocommerce e-commerce store. Do I need to optimize pages like the cart page, checkout page, privacy policy, return policy, shipping policy, etc? Strictly talking about on page SEO for these pages, like meta titles, description.

Thanks!
