Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Becky,

I found adding 200-300 words for the category pages worked best for my ecom site. I use 400-500 words for the main body on the products I sell. I (somehow) ranked number one on Google the previous 2 years based on organic content writing - no backlinks

My ecom site is LikeChimp.com - you can see how I use good content to rank, check out the page categories vs the product description: http://likechimp.com/product-category/buy-facebook-event-attendees/#

Hope this helps.

Hello Moz community,

Please check out my website http://www.likechimp.com - I'd love to know your thoughts. I have never built links for my website but managed to do pretty well on the rankings organically. Lately, figures have dropped so need to get back up there on Google. Any tips from what you see already would be greatly appreciated!

Example ecom product I sell: http://likechimp.com/facebook-shop/buy-100-facebook-event-attendees/

Thanks

Thanks! I am stuck now between thin content vs juicy content for my ecom products!

Hi James, what do you mean by 'thin' content? How could Google recognise thin content as good...

Hi Moz Community,

I am launching a series of new e-commerce websites and wanted to know before I started the content writing what are the TOP 3 strategy/research practices and techniques I should be doing before building my website?

Bonus points for those who can give me a Top 5!

Thanks,
Luca

Thank you Marcus !

I can completely relate. Do you have Skype please? I'd love to know your process as I feel I am exactly in the same boat!

Hey Marcus,

I couldn't have hoped for a better reply. You really have helped me out a ton here! I will 100% talk to Eric Ward - have you used his services?

Very useful. Thanks for your input!

Thanks for the reply, fascinating for to me to read as I'm new to SEO and not heard of these commissioned articles. Is there a marketplace for these deals or is it all about the right contacts?

I would still like to know what to expect from the industry in regards to this question but thank you for the reply!

Hello Moz Community,

I am looking to hire a link builder for SEO purposes. What are the normal rates and what I should expect for my money? Can you guys please share your knowledge with me so I am better prepared when hiring the right person!

Bonus point for tips on what to look for when hiring someone and also best places to look for an SEO specialist!

I look forward to all your replies!

Thanks James, you know your stuff!

Thank you Donna!

Many thanks, very knowledgeable reply!

Hello,

My website is www.likechimp.com and is a University project. I need to optimise the website for speed as the bounce rate is fairly quick - I feel this could be due to how long it takes web site to load? Any tips in increasing internet speed. I am willing to higher someone if they feel they can help!

Thanks,

L
