Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I am so unbelievably excited about this new DA algorithm! DA is used constantly in our never ending SEO practice. Would be appreciated if it updated on a consistent, anticipated basis, rather than every so often.

This sounds like a great idea to me, as long as it integrates into health services. My opinion, the more relevant pages the better. Just make sure you have enough content on the page, internal links pointing to it from other sources than only the nav bar, and external links pointing to it as well.

Another option, blog about utilizing each park for the health benefits and link to these internal pages.

To me, it seems like you're on to an "outside the box" content strategy...so nice job!

March 5th cant come soon enough!

Great question. I have also asked about how much weight content on yelp pages hold in terms of SEO.

Definitely reach out to yelp about this issue. Not quite sure about the SEO aspects, but from a brand perception aspect, you definitely want to respond to negative reviews.

I would like to 2nd this proposition of a feature. Half of our agency SEO battles are documenting and communicating completed tasks for a client, to the client.

although i personally am a fan of targeted keywords in URLs, I do not believe it is a MUST. You can optimize the page content and links pointing to the page, and get great results without needing the keyword in the URL.

Domain authority is the biggest scam in SEO. But unfortunately, I love to watch it increase.

50-60 SEO clients is a healthy amount. But of those 50-60, how many are full SEO campaigns? In the SEO world, there are multiple levels of "SEO"...from Google My Business management to heavy link building. In my opinion, you can effectively handle 50-60 SEO clients, but it depends on the package they are signed up for.

Link Building, Google My Business Optimization, Directory Listing, Citation Listings, Guest Blogging, On Page Optimization, on page content, blogging, internal link errors. If you are implementing a full SEO campaign and not delivering, ultimately, you will only frustrate your client and lose them.

Organizing your time and communicating in a transparent manner are the most important factors when running an SEO business. Besides knowing how to implement SEO of course.  

similar service as http://mysiteauditor.com. just want to embed a tool on our website that allows the visitor to enter their url and have a report emailed to them.

The more niche, the better results...IMO. If you want to get ranked well on 3 different topics, build 3 different pages.

You would only want (1) H1 tag per page, and multiple H2-H6 tags per page.

Miriam made all the right points there. Excellent answer.

1- The only aspect I would add is this: We all know how smart Google is correct? Well, how would they not realize that these types of meta D's are extremely redundant? Possibly getting a negative attribute? possibly not? The best way is to A/B test.

2- Do you know for sure if this meta D is the best for SEO? If not, changing the meta D's to be worded differently would be an excellent way to test. For example ****Data Recovery includes Hard Drive, SSD, Server and RAID/NAS management for your business. **** Get A Free Quote from TTR Data Recovery in Miami, FL.

And as always, make sure these keywords have been research for a consistent volume of traffic and are included in your on page density plans.

Hope this helps!

1- This may be accredited to your CMS and the database structure it relies on to function.

2- Ask your website host for support regarding this issue. Some issues like this are server level and cannot be corrected at the client level.

3- I would look into webmaster tools to make sure the sitemap is submitted properly and redirects are at a minimum. Also, conduct a few fetch as googlebot tactics.

There's nothing wrong with adding multiple listings, just make sure each listing gets verified to its own unique address. If this is the case, you can label them as follows:

• Business Name - City Name
• Business Name - City Name
• Business Name - City Name
• Business Name - City Name

But, it sounds like your client has one address but wants to service 4 areas. Therefore, I would only add 1 listing and display the correct service area. There is a setting in Google My Business on "I service clients at their location", and go from there.

Can you provide more context to your question? Topics on what? A web page or website?

Research shows pages that go in dept on niche topics out rank others that cover a variety of topics. Of course, with all link building and domain authority being the same.... Here is where a large amount of information (content) will need to be balanced with great web design to engage the reader.

Some rookie digital marketers just throw up 2,000 words straight. No images, No accordions, no way to break up the read. Therefore, site engagement stats are decreased, which doesn't add to your SEO and most likely, negatively impacts your website conversion metrics.

Well, that depends on what keywords you are tracking. With any content changes, there will be ups and downs, similar to a stock market line graph. The ranking from a content change may go up, and may go down. Most likely, both will ocurr. If you are currently ranked #1 on your preferred search term, I wouldnt both with the content changes, but would only conduct a link building campaign to those specific pages that are ranking.

But when it comes to ranking changes... only Google has that proprietary secret and definitive answer.

Excellent question I have also had issues with. At times, Ive seen random URLs pop up in analytics that are not associated with Google ads.

As a marketing agency, everyday we are bombarded by "Google listing verification checks", which are a telemarketers way for lead generation. They don't even realize they are calling an online marketing agency until they ask more questions. I wouldn't call it a SCAM, just poor solicitation.

Something that has tricked me up a few times in the past is the difference between broad and exact search volume. Every time you compare MOZ keyword volume to Google, just know there is a slight +/- in volume. Plus, its never an exact science, rather than an estimation based on historical data from Google...and subsequently, MOZ.

If ever in doubt, I would utilize Google's data over any other source of data.

What happened to the MOZ points system and rewards for participating?

Make sure you consider the following when moving domains:

• Domain Ages - the older the better
• Domain Authority - Which has a higher authority, keep that one.
• SPAM score
• Root Domain Links/Overall Links

This are my top 4 when dealing with domains. Yes, having a keyword in the domain is beneficial, but it wont out-weigh the benefits if we are 0/4 on the above list.

What are some of the best resources with learning and teaching other GTM and conversion tracking?

Dedicate some time to exclude SPAM referral links from your bounce rate analysis. SPAM links are notorious for providing skewed data in these areas.

I would also look into average time on page and pages per visit depending on source/medium.

Yes, definitely fix this issue, as sooner or later Google will see that your website speed is experiencing errors. I would check with your website host for speed, optimization and reliability.

For technical SEO, I tend to utilize the Site Auditor tool from Ravwen Tools. Its great.

Are you asking where to purchase or outsource copy or where to place copy on an ecommerce product page?

Yes, you can setup a redirect depending on your CMS. We use DNN and there is a section in the site settings that makes this easily possible...or even design your own 404 page any way you want.

I'm a big fan of anchor text. No only for the internal linking value, but, when done properly, increases user retention and conversion by accurately describing the page to the user.

IMO

From my experience, it is very difficult / cannot forward a HTTP version to a HTTPS version.

I may have to defer to another SEO Pro about forwarding a lower DA to a higher. My educated guess...it doesnt matter. In Google's eyes its not technically considered a link.

It always amuses me when clients purchase multiple domains and want to forward them with dreams of larger traffic funnels. If a branded URL search isnt happening, traffic wont either. For brand protection, absolutely valuable. But when clients want to dominate the internet, this tactic is a pipe dream.

Yes, analyze the links pointing to that domain and verify there arent many SPAM links.

Also, a link reclamation campaign will most likely be needed for brand mentions, which can be very time consuming.

Depends on the CMS you use. Many CMS's can click a quick button to not index in Google search.

If that isnt an option, do it through a robots.txt file in webmaster tools.
