Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Monica!

To answer your initial question I would have to say YES it can definitely effect your SEO in a number of ways.

Uptime/Downtime, Speed and Location can all effect your websites user experience & overall rankings.

Regarding the dynamic hosting, I don't have much experience with that but will look into it and if I discover any good info I will let you know.

The days of link building are over. The days of creating content that help the users find what they are looking for efficiently are here. If you give the user what they are looking for they are more likely to bookmark your site or link to it for reference.

Whatever is better for the user. Having 600 pages on your site is spreading you link juice all over, It would be better from an SEO perspective to make pages for your targeted keywords and post all the other content, I would also link the blog contents to the pages and between the blog posts.

Keep in mind its better to 6 really good pages with great content and social interaction. then 600 articles with useless data that no one cares about.

Dear g-d no!!! Unless you are using fiverr to have a funny video made to embarrass your friend on his birthday, I wouldn't use it.

Using fiverr for anything related to SEO (including blog mentions) would be considered spam, and for that reason.... I'm OUT! (Mark Cuban voice)

From a UX perspective: This allows the visitor to refer to the linked page/info but be able to continue on with the article/page from your site.

From an SEO perspective, IMO This helps your bounce rate from jumping when people engage the links you have on your site.

Hi Scott!

We've experienced situations where we moved a site to a new server, a new IP address was assigned and the rankings dropped for a month or so, then leveled out and we regained all original rankings back. However, like Ryan stated, we did not make any changes to the url structures, page names, etc. in this case. Also using a site like he referenced helps a lot. You can also use this site to find out what other sites are on the server you are hosted on: http://www.ipfingerprints.com/reverseip.php

We have also migrated another site to a new server, keeping the same IP as the previous server and the rankings did not fluctuate at all.

I would think that the answer lies in "HOW" you perform the migration and be sure to "measure twice, cut once". As the move could be very smooth if done properly, however it could turn into an absolute disaster if rushed and done improperly. If you haven't already, check out this website migration guide. Study it. Know it. Implement it. Hope this helps!

Hey Ceran!

Yes it is a separate service. Check out this page for the pricing details. There is an annual cost per location. https://moz.com/local/how

Cheers!!

Hey Tanveer!

I've read in other posts that they are pretty busy over there. I assure you, although it may take a little time, they WILL get back to you. Maybe shoot them another message on their support page. Maybe that will help?

You are correct in your thinking HashTagHustler (Nice name btw)!

If the domain you purchased and redirected over to xyz.com has no age, link profile, authority, etc., then it will not have anything to pass over to xyz.com domain. Thus making your fathers idea pretty useless.

Now if you are able to find a domain that is industry specific/relevant that has some age, authority and a clean link profile, you may have some value here. But keep in mind if you DO redirect a domain that has "value", the redirect does not pass over as all of its juice.

Hope this helps!! Good luck

Truly a personal preference deal here!

In regards to keyword stuffing, there isn't much of an issue as Google doesn't focus on  anymore these days. They are frying much bigger fish! However, I don't like the idea of the GORILLA approach where you are thumping your chest with ALL CAPS LIKE THAT (nice analogy EGOL lol)!

Using a site like Craigslist for example, they will remove a post if you use all caps in your title because it is considered spammy to the users. Nobody likes to feel they are being FORCED TO LOOK! Like EGOL mentioned, it makes me cringe when I see things like that. I would highly recommend against it, if at all possible.

End of the day, keep your end users in mind. Don't force feed them. Provide high quality content and a great user experience. You shall prevail!

Wow this is a tough question... Asking us to choose one is like when you are at a fine restaurant and they bring out the plate with all the different desserts on it!! I never do well in that scenario and just order one of each LOL

Being that some tools are better than others at different aspects of SEO, I would have to agree with Robert and go with SEO Powersuite. It encompasses just about everything and covers them well in my opinion.

However, I would not be able to make it through a day without Moz, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs and more recently I've grown to like SEO Review Tools. Interested to see what else is favored!!

You can also run each of your competitors in Screaming Frog and get ideas of their keyword focus based on their meta data.

Hey MorganNW!

No unfortunately you can't. I asked this same thing a while back and was told we cannot add additional users "at this time". I'm not sure if this meant they were working on adding this feature or not but I don't think its on the top of the priority list. They have WAY bigger fish(kin's) to fry! lol

Hey Patrick!

Check out this previous Q&A post about this same topic. Might help you a bit. Within the article it provides a link to another article from the Moz blog which dives further into DA vs Page Rank. The differences between the two and yatta yatta yatta

Hey Neil!

Check out this post on the topic. It should shed some light for ya!

Which one are you using currently that is having issues?

Cheers

Hey Don!

The reason is because Moz keyword tool pulls the SPM (searches per month) data from Bing unfortunately. Google doesn't allow Moz to access this info from their API.

If you notice up at the top of the column it actually states "BING Search Volume". I've added a screenshot to reference. Hope this helps!

Ugh... Yeah just log into your Google acct and go to that link I sent and have them call you. They called me right away when I went that route.

Great point and I can't believe I left that out of my initial response lol. Thanks Ray!!

But yes, you can check your server using a site like: http://www.ipfingerprints.com/reverseip.php

This will show you if there are other sites hosted from the same server/ip address.

Hey guys!

Once you reach 200 points in your Moz account, they will remove the "no follow" from the first link in your profile. Check out more about how Moz points work here.

Hope this helps! And you will get a nice juicy link from Moz once this happens

Hey Monica

Great decision!! A "professional" second set of eyes is always the best approach regarding online marketing. I would suggest that you go through the Moz Recommended companies and call around to find the best fit.

Also (if you haven't already) check out this WBF about the topic. Hope this helps you find the right fit!

Cheers!
