Welcome to the Q&A Forum

thanks guys

Hello, It would really depend on what type of local result your targeted keyword is generating.  If it is generating the traditional local result it is important that you full complete your local listing, add lots of images and videos and make sure the content on the places page is relevant.  After this you must build lots of citations. If your targeted keyword is generating a result that is integrated with the organic search results, then do all of the above, but also have a good link build strategy in place. Thanks, Gordon

Hello Benjamin! Let's start from here: When a site have a good combination of some things like Page Rank, Authority and Trustfulness, Google looks to this site as a relevant one on the Web. So, imagine if this site links to yours using the rel="nofollow" (the link needs this attribute to make the "juice" flow  http://www.w3schools.com/html5/att_a_rel.asp), the Search Engine thinks: "Well, if it's a good site sending to another, this second one must have some relevance too!". Now, your site is going to be seen from a better perspective by the Search Engines. The "juice" is like the relevance, and so to "link juice" is when you kind of share it to another one. And this can be done using yours site internal links too! Linking your Homepage to another for example. But, of course it's not to be going so great as another site linking to you...you can imagine, if you talk about what you are is good, but what do other people talk about is much better. Google thinks also that way! But in the end, link juice can be talked as when a site passes relevance to your by linking you with nofollow. Hope it helps!  =]

Actually, bounce rate would be of a concern to search engines, at least for visits that originate from the search engine. The SEs want the users to have a good experience, and if a user clicks on a result and then comes right back to the results page, the SEs may feel that the user did not have a good experience with that result and maybe a different result for that query should be shown.

Absolutely Sean, people who live and breathe their websites seem to overlook the simple things that could increase conversions - great point!

I like that! Thanks Rand.

Fair enough... This is what I'm looking at in terms of the settings I want to integrate directly into the header, I'll try to keep people posted on the results: https://github.com/themeforce/framework/blob/master/core_seo/tf.schema.admin-options.php

Stephen, a side note that this could be part of an interesting submission for YOUmoz if you're looking for something new to write! Or if you've written it up elsewhere let us know, it's always interesting to see this type of data.

The best program is one involving hard work and writing your own email outreach to other sites and offering them a reason (good content/resource) to link back to you. If you can share your site or the topic of your site, we may be able to come up with some ideas for you.

Thanks for posting the followup to this, it's very helpful to know both that the problem is solved and that Alex had a fast turnaround.

Thanks guys for the answers, but as I said before, Can't change the design hehehe thanks
