Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Fine, I'm an idiot. But when i get that Chrome apps page with mozbar on it, there's nothing clickable (that I can see) that actually downloads the thing. I've gotten it before, but now I can't find it. Is it hiding. Why doesn't it just sit in my dock? Any ideas. -W

Hi Evan:

My apologies for the slow response. Thanks for the simple explanation and for the link. That is the most thorough explanation of links that i've found. Much appreciated.

Hi Mark:

Thanks very much for your note. I tried something similar the SEO Browser, and it shows you what the search engines see. Very useful.

Cheers, Wes.

Thanks very much, I'll definitely try the adwords and the cached versions.

Hi:

I recently learned about inline styles and that Google started penalizing sites for that in October. Then I was told that Wix and Flash don't work (or work well) either for SEO as the engines won't crawl them (I think). Does anyone know of a blog that goes over everything that doesn't work so that I could recognize it when I look at someone's code. Anyone know of such a resource?

Cheers,

Wes

Good advice, thank you. Luckily I know some of those other things better than SEO, so that works out well.

Cheers,

We have a very basic mobile site as we have not put our full attention to that yet. It's not responsive, it's just basic. I think it will work for now, but I want something better as the brand definitely suffers. I'll check out dudamobile. I need simple. Thanks very much for the tip.

Hi Ruben:

Thanks very much for writing. That's pretty much what I'm doing as well. Hats off to Moz for keeping things simple and making it accessible to folks who aren't as computer literate as a they might like to be. Step by step works. I am doing local and the Moz Local is definitely where are start. Thanks again for the note.

Cheers,

Wes

Hi All:

Just writing in the hopes of a reality check. When I compare the first page or two of companies in any field it's usually clear why the top two are on top and why the bottom two are on the bottom, but for everything in between, it often looks pretty gray to me. It's very difficult to find a smoking gun as to why companies rank where they do. While looking at one you could say it ranks because of Yelp reviews and another because of links, but then there are other completely contradictory examples. So I guess I'm asking, is this just the nature of the business? Is a lot of this simply unknowable and you look at what you can do that is most expeditious and will have the most impact, as well as more expensive longer term steps, decide what is practical, move forward and see what happens?

Grateful for anyone's thoughts so I can better understand just how lost i should feel.

Cheers, Wes.

Hi Evan:

Thanks very much for your note. That makes sense. I assume there's a point of diminishing returns where an excess of internal linking works against you. I see a lot of companies where most of their links are internal. If you have a few hundred internal links with equity, is that really significant in terms of boosting your DA or your ranking? There are so many measurements I'm trying to sort out what is significant and what is not.

Thanks very much.
