Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Can I get an invite to press release point?

In addition to Nemek: Forums: find forums, that are related to your sites topic. Engange in a relevant and useful way. Put a link to your site in your profile. Promote special content (articles, lists, funny stuff) in your profile. Blogs: Comment on related topics, but don't do the regular "Great article, thanks" stuff. Contact the author, ask for a guest article. Twitter, Facebook, LInkedIn etc: Create a profile with your brandname (twitter.com/brandname) and link to your site. You might want to use a service like http://knowem.com/ Google Places: Create your places profile and link to your site.

We are also seeing the new format as well in Google Canada -  in English and French.

Hey, I was reading this discussion and I'm just curios to see if you had any success with reconsideration?

word tracker and link builder can help you greatly. http://www.wordtracker.com/

Nope. Sorry. Google can crawl CSS, so anything you do to hide text (z-index, position:relative, etc) is easily detectable (Google can even parse javascript). Now, sometimes you can get away with such things, like in a drop down menu for example. But if you do it, be sure to use the standards from a site that is well indexed. You're right, I was looking at that to... hahaha. From my experience though, It's better to have one link.. maybe not much better, but at least a little bit. Does this help Jonathan?

Yep! So a query should look like: http://www.google.com/search?q=your+search+query&gl=uk

The site is just looking like a site of a blog network. The domain is 5 years old & the home page has DA  & PA of 34 still not indexed by Google. I searched for site:livingorganicnews.com in Google which is not giving any results. So it shows that the site is penalized by Google. Use Google webmaster tools for further verification so as to find the reason. Most probably it's penalized because of being a site of a paid blog network.

I would just give it a little time, and see what happens when you get a few links.

Ron, Whatever EGOL is saying - just do it! He knows his stuff, and after reading his answers here, and my own questions he has answered, you can be sure that he is giving you excellent SEO advice.

But his actual mind never allow you to build links from websites having zero value. Teginder

lets say I have 2 sites (two companies I am doing SEO for) one is for a Taxi service and one is for a limo service. Would me offering my taxi traffic a link to a limo service be black hat? **no way!  ** Would google look at that link as a bad link? I highly doubt it! Kink building is great and works as long as the sources are relevant. Googles goals are to make money. in order to make money they need the best search engine. In order to have the best search engine they need the best SERP's. The only way have the best SERP's is via user interaction. If the user likes the link so will Google.

Any ideas and suggestions guys?

Google may, or may not, take into account the physical address but I know that the more discerning customer definitely does care. I recommend to all of my SEO customers to add their physical address, even if it is just a PO Box, as it furthers Google's stated aims of adding truth and transparency to the internet.

This does sound like a bug. You can send an email to help@seomoz.org and the help team will get back to you. Ryan, the help desk employees usually come in because I or another associate send them a note. We're all still trying to figure out the best balance of how and where to address these issues.

I dont believe you have aproblem if you havea bit of duplicate content, google does not penilize you for duplicate content, it just dosent award you points for it.

I am not sure that it helps rankings yet, but it cannot hurt them and it will help at some point in the future. As search engines try harder to understand what sites are about, using contextual markup will help. These changes to HTML and also the schema.org rich snippets will be used in future and will help. SEO is evolutionally as are development practices and it is all about staying ahead of the competition when search engines change the playing field. I do know following the guidelines here, getting strong relevent links built and ensuring a fast user experience helps rank on sites we built. Does it give us an advantage oer the competition? Maybe, only time will tell.
