Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Question, are they worth the price? WHat in your opinion sets them apart from others and how would their service benefit local seo efforts?

I have been wondering for a while which web host provider is the best for SEO purposes?

Things to consider.

1. Shared Hosting vs Dedicated Server
2. Location of the Host Provider
3. Site Up Time

One question that I have been thinking about is what impact would changing a host provider have on a websites serps ranking? Is there a possible negative impact and if so how can it be avoided?

Name the top 3 Web Hosts for SEO.

I also have the same problem. There are links that are pointing to my site that are not showing up on OSE. These are old links. I'm thinking OSE doesn't capture all inbound links.

What I like to do is use the link operator in chrome or safari

use  link: then the name of your site without the www or the .com. This will give you a list of every site that mentions your site.

I would then make a list of all those sites and then use the seo tool bar for Firefox to see if they are followed or no followed links.

How effective is rank tracking when google tends to deliver personalized search?

I tend to clear out my browser of all info, cookies and cache so I can get the best results but how effective are rank tracking algo's in delivering accurate results. I run various apps and tests and I get different results.

I see the pic for the www version but not the non www version. How do I fix that?

I believe I've done the authorship. How can i verify that I've done it correctly?

My site is hosted by Yahoo and I don't have htaccess, what do I do in this case?

I previously set the canonical Url in google web masters to the non www version, when I check my on page opt, it tells me that I have a critical issue with this. Should I change it in google web masters back to the www version? if so is there the possibility of negative results?

Or is there a better way to deal with this?

Note, I have inbound links pointing to both types.

Thank you Dana, how do I apply Schema Mark up to my site? And where should I focus my efforts?

How do I implement both Schema and Rich Snippets and how beneficial are they to SEO and the Serps?

So Wistia or Vimeo is better for SEO?

Thank you, when you mean local IP do you mean from the USA or from the State that I am in. Reason I ask is most people i know don't host in the state.

What is the best way to use Google + for a Realtor?

My site hovers on page 2 of google for the key search phrase. I have a blog that gets updated often, I have genuine links coming in, I promote on all social media channels, I do email campaigns, I have a site map, I have my local address on what I believe are the most important sites like Yelp, Manta, Google Local etc.

All this and my site is still on page 2 while other sites with less of everything are on page 1.

What is missing?

What is the best way to get into the 7 pack of google serps? I have a site that ranked well before this changed but not was pushed back to page 2.

I already have a Google Local page and I also have links from local sites.

What else can be done?
