Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Some good ideas here, I will definitely try them. For paywithatweet, what happens if someone doesn't have a Twitter or Facebook account?

Hey Will It's tough to advise you off the cuff on content for your products but do some keyword research, see what people are searching for in relation to these products and see if that gives you any insights. It may give you blog post ideas to pick up pre-purchase search traffic and it may also help you flesh out those product descriptions as they are a bit skinny at the moment. We want to think about the percentage of the total page that is unique and therefore having a longer product description, some reviews or other content that is specific to that page will certainly give you more scope for long tail search and help you stand out from the boilerplate product description merchants. Fashion orientated blog posts about the different products may well be a good way to get some internal keyword rich links and pick up people searching before they are ready to buy. If you can then convert that kind of traffic to your twitter or facebook (or even email) then it all adds up to slowly bringing people in to the site and pushing out what you have to offer. Hope that helps buddy Marcus

I'd recommend ScribeSEO  (affiliate link) or http://scribeseo.com (non-affiliate link) Great tool for keyword checking right on the post as well as some basic SEO review.  It has a plugin that works great in WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal.

Lots of people come to these forums looking for numbers and formulas. If the link is going to be on what looks like a quality site then it doesn't matter what the page authority is... .... and if the site has a high page authority but it looks like a crappy manipulative site then why would you want a link on it?

I'd suspect that if you change the date, and ping rss aggregators, they'll publish the content, which then becomes 99.9% duplicate content.

There is also the possibility that the initial boost you get from your techniques will result in high visibility for your site which means you will get legitimate links from other domains that will build your rep so that if Google ever bothers to drop the value of your black hat links to nothing you still have plenty of authority from real links. There is also the possibility, even though Google would of course deny it, that if you are also spending tens of thousands of dollars a month on Adwords that they will overlook any bad stuff you do and you will never suffer. Just speaking from experience - watching another company.

thanks for the response, I'm going to implement the rel=canonical for the image gallery.

True...I must admit I don't like seeing 404 links in my reports that are potentially beyond my control. I also wondered if it breaks some sort of privacy law - there's no privacy policy I can see on the website - perhaps there should be a warning to users of the tool. I must admit it's interesting (for at least a few seconds) to spy on who has seemingly used the tool. I'll send them an e-mail and update this post with any response.

I just did a comparison and realized that you are right, there is a slight difference. Italy is capitalized in one version since it is linked that way on one page. I had no idea that would make such a difference! The link has been fixed, thank you for your help!

From any testing I've done, keywords usually rank better when they're at or near to the beginning of a title tag and page content. I think you should definitely consider guest blogging as an alternative to article marketing. If you use the same site over again (e.g. ezine) your backlinks will be worth less for every new article you add, and depending on the categories you submit them to could be buried deeply in the site. There are some excellent SEOmoz blogs on finding relevant places to submit articles to. Also, if you have this excellent unique content, there's always a benefit in hosting it on your own site...

Very well said.  Backend factors (beyond the obvious speed and uptime) do not easily influence SEO practices in the least. However, when changing the backend of an established site, always make sure that you don't pick up any unwanted errors in the exchange.  Simple things that can be easily over looked such as 404s and misplaced 301 redirects can have a negative impact on your new site!

I aware about it. But, I have confusion with omitted results. Google shows me 509 URLs in visible portion and remaining one in omitted results. I have checked similar result for my competitor with table lamps keyword. site:simplytablelamps.com Google shows 2470 pages for my competitor and omitted result is very less compare to my website. I really don't know more about it but it may cut out my impression with products which are included in omitted result. This is my assumption. What you think about it? If you can give me more idea so it will help me more.

Hi Ryan is exactly right about this.  Go to the facebook developers page to create the OG meta data. Specify whatever page you want to show up as shared within the OG meta tag. -Dan
