Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We've all seen it before, right before a result, you see "You visited this page on ____"

What effect does a single visit have? Multiple visits?

How many page views did your webpage (not press release) get, for how much, and from where? Additionally, how many backlinks did you receive?

I'm considering PRWeb's $360 release, but am primarily interested in driving users to my landing page. I'm also weighing the option of going with the much cheaper $25 press release from WebWire and spending the difference on Social Media. StumbleUpon/Facebook can land page views for .01-.10, not to mention tens of thousands of impressions.

I realize there's going to be a wide range of data, but anything would be helpful.

It looks like Google is putting a definite emphasis on social signals, through Google+ anyway. Has anyone tested the effect of social circles on SEO yet? Same effects as the "magical +1 button?"

+1 on shifting your time and resources to Social Media?

It seems there's a lot of negative connotations with the phrase "Article Marketing" as it's associated with spam, spinning, etc. I couldn't find anything other than that, which begs to ask, what are the white hat tactics that you use after you publish your article?

What tools do you use to streamline the process? Social Bookmarking? RSS?

Any methods you use to score quick backlinks?

How do you get your content in front of bloggers?

Thanks for the knowem recommendation! Is the free version sufficient, or is it worth paying for?

Thanks for the detailed response! Looks like I'm right around #5.

For my website, Recessionitis.com, I'm targeting the keyword phrase "Find a Deal".

Using the AdWords tool, a broad match shows 49,500 local searches, while a phrase search only yields 320. That's a pretty dramatic difference.

Directories? Social Media? PR?

I'd say more importantly, is what you do with wordpress, no matter what theme you use. +1

+1 on Wordpress SEO by Yoast.

PR sites are dying IMO. Check out HARO (http://www.helpareporter.com/), it's basically a site where experts help journalists on deadlines.

For you, I think running an advertisement on there will reach the target market you're looking for.

Thanks! We do have an additional details field.

One more question, in SEOmoz diagnostics, I'm getting warnings for "Title Element Too Long" because the crawler is rendering apostrophes as "'" adding 5 characters per apostrophe. Should I be ignoring those warnings?

I see, so the notices are URL's that have the canonical attribute?

I just want to make sure PR isn't passing on to "recessionitis.com/page/2/", "recessionitis.com/?homeq=recent", etc.

Followed One Way Links = Good

Followed Reciprocal = Neutral/Good

Followed Paid = Black Hat

NoFollow = Neutral/Good

I've used Picasa and Flickr and have found Flickr to be my favorite.

Flickr has higher ranks and a larger community, increasing the chances of your pictures being found.

Yoast (Wordpress SEO) talks about the many fallacies of All-in-One SEO, I've personally tried many SEO plugins and have ultimately ended up using Wordpress SEO.

Bit.ly (301 redirect) is, but some popular shorteners like su.pr (302), are not.

I run a Q&A site (Recessionitis.com), should I limit posts (questions) to 64 characters for SEO purposes?

Right, SEOMoz Diagnostic notices.

So are the notices showing urls that should be seen as Canonical or url's that are seen as Canonical?

Crawl Diagnostics is showing a lot of Rel Canonical warnings, I've installed Wordpress SEO by Joose De Valk and Home Canonical URL plugins without success. Any ideas?

I'm getting a lot of URL's that I thought I blocked from being indexed, such as author pages, category pages, etc.

I'm also getting stuff like "recessionitis.com/?homeq=recent" and "recessionitis.com/page/2/", those pages are similar to my homepage. I thought those plugins were suppose to automatically clean things up.. anyone use these plugins that have any helpful hints?
