Yes, I would agree links help as well, greatly. But link building is roughly 25-30% of the total SEO pie. My argument is about on page content, and utilizing a keyword density tool to communicate to Google how relevant the on page content is. The higher the density, but not so high to warrant a black hat technique, the more opportunity to rank on a certain keyword. If you cannot agree to this statement, I'm sure you're just focused on gathering MOZ points.

Nothing is an exact science in the SEO world. And if it is, you apparently work for Google...or Google works for you.

Yes, I have had great success with page titles of up to 70 characters.

Again, agree to disagree. Which is the beauty of SEO.

If I create a page about snocones in phoenix but didnt mention snocones in phoenix on the text of the page, would my website rank highly on the search term, "snocones in phoenix"?

Agree to disagree. Every page has a keyword density to it. Just because your focus may be conversational and written to engage the user (which, i agree and also Implement), Google still views the keyword density as part of its algorithm to index what the page content is all about.

Im not suggesting to stuff each page with monotonous keywords. What I am saying is Google needs to know what each page implies. And they use keyword density as part of its algorithm to judge each page and correctly rank it in the index.

you dont believe in keyword density?

Try downloading SEO quake as a browser extension and focus on diagnosis and keyword density for every page.

Thanks for the heads up! Cant wait until its back up.

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.

I have seen on multiple occasion right after a new page is indexed in Google, immediately skyrockets to the first page ( or close) depending on keyword. Then, a week later, it is ranked in the 40s, and for weeks after that starts the stock market-esq climb. Up, down, up, down, and hopefully towards a positive trend line.

Not a huge fan of WordPress. But if you know WordPress, you would really like DNN.

Every page should be constructed in a Google compliant structure and optimized toward specific keywords and user behaviors.

We use yext and love it. Yuou can submit and synergies all NAP listings in one spot.

I, personally, am not a huge fan of .co domains from a branding perspective. I believe it easily confuses prospective clients with .com domains.

16 times out of 490 words is a 3.2% density, which is right where you want to be. You could actually use it more times. a 3-7% density is good. Also, make sure you have this target keyword synergized in your title, description, and Hs.

I would suggest the change in ranking is a temporary dip, since you changed the copy of the page. Think of your rankings like a stock market. Even the best stocks go up and down. Now that you have entirely new copy, Google is now reorganizing your content in it's index. Should be back up, if not better, soon.

Personally, I see pages with 1500+ words rank well. But then the challenge is user interface and design to allow an easy read.

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.

The mozbar is a great tool. it measures Domain Authority and a Spam Score. I wouldnt leave home without it.

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.

Yes, always keep or redirect URLs. So often during a website redesign, web designers become lazy and create brand new child page URLs. When the site goes live, those URLs are 404 codes stranded on Google for a few weeks. Terrible practice.

As far as on page content, I am a fan of 300+ words as well. However, in a more competitive keyword, I would recommend 1,000+. The jury is still out as to how many pages to update per day. I would estimate 10 per week would be great...but build on the content...not necessarily replace.

Yes, each page on your website should have a focus keyword...just like when you are communicating about a topic in real life. Would you bounce around between basketball, baseball and football when you are in the middle of a conversation about the NBA all star game? Probably not.

When building content for specific keywords per page, I enjoy utilizing SEO quake for google chrome. Its keyword diagnosis and density tool, in my opinion, is far superior to Yoast. It helps identify on page standards and well as word count and density of single keywords and phrase keywords. Plus, its free.

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.  

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.

Actually, 27 to 47.
