  • Hi! Thanks for letting us know about this. Unfortunately, we are experiencing intermittent issues with our tools as a result of ongoing DDoS attacks. I am so, so sorry for the inconvenience this is causing you. As the issues are intermittent, would you mind trying to add the campaign again?

  • Okay let's say I named my company video games and then of course I want my company's name to be my Site name so Site videogames.com My ability to make a real brand out of that generic name would be almost impossible. Where if I came up with a unique name and it really caught on the opposite would happen for instance Kleenex is sometimes used in the place of tissues and Band-Aid is used to replace bandage. I'm not telling you not to put a keyword in your branding I'm telling you to make your brand-name unique. Band-Aid is a perfect example of another great name that incorporates some of the actual word for the product is creating along with something unique. If you're going to make this night very authoritative and it's actually going to do something amazing you should come up with the best name that you like you should not be worried at all about the way search engines perceived your name. Obviously don't go name it something like "Viaggra"I added the extra G make it different but it's going to be perceived as pretty bad by Google. Many businesses are turned into shorter names because they are so long BMW is Bavarian Motor Works My own part of the company name Northen Elastomeric Industries We shorten the doing business name as NEI however I'm not particularly a fan of acronyms but if you look at a company like Mercedes-Benz You have people using one person's family name and the other's daughters name This is so great brands are started for reasons that the actual founders and a normal percentage of the people purchasing the product would like. Spitball throughout a bunch of different names that you would like to make your company name My company is Blueprint Marketing I like the name a lot and was lucky to get the domain. However know that I did put marketing in the name I was contemplating need a blueprint however that name was already registered trademark to somebody else. Combine something that you like that represents your brand with a name that tells people what you do Or better yet if you're going to be an authority just come up with a name that you like. My opinion is that exact match domains will be penalized severely in the near future so if you're going to make something that's built to last why would you gamble it on something like you'll small percentage higher traffic now

  • This means that the green value is the highest against the other columns in the table. I.e your page rank is green and your competitors is grey for a specific page then you have the highest page rank against your competitors.

  • It's going to be hard to give an exact answer as the sites have now changed.  But, if your rankings dropped a month ago I'd be looking at Panda as a culprit.  There was a Panda update that officially happened May 20 but many people saw changes a few days before that.

  • Hi Gary, We were advertising articles for non profit client based out of Canada. The CTR was low at .06% but i guess that would really depend on the content that you are promoting. The reporting interface is pretty basic , you will not get detailed stats on every single publisher that drove traffic to your site. Their network does include popular sites like CNN, Fox. The distribution might be a lot better in the US . We only targeted Canada with this campaign. The key to success with this platform would really be the viral nature of the content being promoted. I'd suggest you give it a shot with a small budget to start and see how it does. Cheers, SEO5..

  • Hi DJReason, If you can manage to not have a pool of numbers for SEO traffic, my solution above will work. By using a script that only fires when certain parameters hit, it allows you to only use one number for non-parametered URLs, so search engine bots will only see the one number. Then you use that number during citation building, and you're golden... at least from that perspective.

  • Thanks for the response,  I did have someone go through it all using copyscape and at that time 180 days ago it was pretty much clean,  I guess I have to go back and cleanse it... I will start moving the content,  thank you....If I had to guess I would think wordpress cms will do much better than mine,  but can provide a specific as to why you feel it will do better as far as site optimization...  using Yoast I know will help but other than that?
