SEO Advice for Angular JS
We are changing our homepage (and gradually the rest of the site) to Angular JS.
In order not to lose anything in terms of SEO we are implementing Hashbangs + escaped fragment snapshots.Are there any other SEO considerations you think we should have and/or additional elements that we could add to the page to improve it in terms of SEO?

RE: Multiple Internal links to same destinations
I get Matt Cutts saying this isnt really a priority, but still want to get it right
Our menu links have anchor text and the links within the page are images (next to each other with dif pics)
It seems like I should keep menu links both as Follow, but NoFollow one set of the image links on the page, right? -
Multiple Internal links to same destinations
My company is redoing our homepage and there will be 4 links to our main play pages (5 games). 2 in the menu and 2 within the content.
I was thinking I should no follow one of the links on the homepage + 1 in the menu so that we don't have link dilution from having multiple internal links to the same destination within 1 page.
Does this make sense? Any downside of this or suggestions of a solution that may be more effective?
Thanks!

RE: Loading Content Asynchronously for Page Speed Purposes?
Thanks for the response!
Do you have a link explaining your solution to someone a tad less technically advanced than you

Loading Content Asynchronously for Page Speed Purposes?
Pages for my companies play process load slowly because the process is heavy.
Below the play process there is a block of text, put mostly there for SEO purposes.
R&D are proposing to load the SEO Area only after the play process is loading.
This seems like a very bad solution, because loading the SEO Area asynchronously will make the content unreadable to Google.Am I missing something?

RE: Is RU white hat link building possible?
Thanks for the video and porn search
Based on my experience, links are still very much part of the ranking algorithim for gaming. I understand the importance of white hat methods, but my question was more of a logistical one.... if all websites in RU have a section where they write about advertorials they will never publish an article for free no matter how amazing the outreach, content, relationship building etc....
So, given that seems to be the reality of the RU Market (according to my RU SEO/Content person) I was asking if someone has advice for white hat link building in RU and/or if they have different experiences than we have found.

RE: Is RU white hat link building possible?
Only in certain verticals, it seems to still be a ranking factor for gaming sites.

RE: Is it ok to use the H1 tag for bullet points?
You should keep the H1 tag to only one per page and make the other headings H2.
Change the sizing of the H1 bullet to slightly bigger than the rest of the text on the page.

RE: Moz is incorrect
Make sure that when you are checking your rankings you are using a clean browser without any saved cookies and add &gl=uk to the top of the URL.
If they are still different it's possible that you've gone up in the time between the last ranking check....

RE: Can We Publish Duplicate Content on Multi Regional Website / Blogs?
It seems like you probably don't want 4 different TLD, but instead would want to use ahref lang to indicate to Google that you are showing different regions different content. See here for more of an explanation - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en
Alternatively, if you do want the unique TLDs you could put a canonical to whatever content is duplicate back to the main site (.com probably).

What do people think of Google discouraging guest blogging
Google is recommending that websites nofollow any links from press releases or guest blogging.
Do people think this is really the new standard and sites could get penalized for guest blogging with follow links? Is anyone changing their strategy after hearing this announcement?
Where does this leave people who work in difficult niches (such as gambling)?

Explanation of Facebook referral paths in Google Analytics
In the past month I have seen a huge increase in the visits + conversions from Facebook (which is obviously great). However, from Google Analytics it appears that most of my visits are not coming from my brand page.
Is there an explanation of what these referral paths mean?
Top Facebook referral paths:
/
/l.php
/home.php
/ajax/emu/end.php
/brand - much less visits than above URLs

RE: Is Meta Keywords Important For Websites?
Definitely not important. I still add them in because I think it helps our content writers structure the page and some minor search engines use them. I know some people think they can actually cause harm and don't use them at all. Whatever you do, make sure not to spend too much time on them and not to keyword stuff.
The only time they have any relevance is if you are using them for Google news.

Is there something else I can use?
