Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks everyone! I feel so much more secure about going after this same industry domain. I agree it is good business.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

Ok so here is my question. I have a client who sells gourmet tea and gourmet spices. She has a culinary blog. There is a culinary blog that just posted that the website will be shut down in the near future. It has 100% white hat links. Would it be considered black hat to buy the domain and redirect it to my clients blog which is also a culinary blog? I would really like to ask Matt Cutts this question. Does anyone know how to send him questions?

Thanks

Hi Woj,

Good luck on your project! I created a board with Seo Parallax Responsive Websites. Please add your project to the board if you get it too work! http://www.pinterest.com/ecumbre/seo-and-parallax-scrolling/

thanks

Carla

Thanks Rohit

I agree with you but I am looking for a real example. Everyone seems to be talking about this but I need the real example for a presentation I am creating. Thanks!

Carla

Does anyone have an example of a web page that is ranking soley through social media popularity and does not have any inbound (website to website) links? I am creating a presentation on SEO and Social Media and it would be great to have an example.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Has anyone tried using the author schema on their Wordpress author page or on their G+ profile or on their Moz profile? Would it be a good idea to always use it where you publish? I publish on several blogs

Thanks

Carla

example: Use it here - http://www.posicionamientowebenbuscadores.com/blog/author/carla/

http://moz.com/community/users/392216

It seems like I would be over doing it.

Hi Paul,

I totally agree with you. Development is outgrowing crawlers but then again this has always been true. Designing and programing for crawlers is something SEOers do but not programers. The thing is that clients want traffic and conversiones and cool technology. However if you only do cool technology without accomplishing business objectives, the project will not be consider successful in the clients eyes...just my 2 cents..

Regarding doing SEO and Parallax Scrolling, I think these two sites accomplished it nicely. I have not found any others. Both are responsive which is also a must.

Kickpoint.ca accomplished telling a story through its graphics and the site is light and versatile. However its onsite SEO could be improved with a little effort.

Posicionamiento Web accomplished great onsite SEO but poor "story telling parallax scrolling" effects. The site is heavy and not as versatile as kickpoint's.

One option is to do parallax scrolling on the home and regular internal pages. This makes the site light.

Good Luck.

Hi Woj,

I know you posted this awhile back but I decided to run flowerbeauty.com through moz's software. It is not SEO friendly. I have the reports if you want to see them. Feel free to PM me and I will send them to you.

Lots of duplicate content

Hope it is not too late

Hi Paul,

I decided to run flowerbeauty.com through MOZ's software and here are the results. It does pick up stuff as duplicate content. See http://imgur.com/YEb6bmZ

Flowerbeauty is not SEO friendly.

Hi Paul,

I think before you design your website, you might try creating a campaign for flowerbeauty.com to see if Moz says there are any onsite errors. If it passes Moz's scrutiny, then there is a good chance Google will see it the same way. I have a slot for a new campaign in case you don't have one. I would really like to get to the bottom of this as you can see.

Let me know if you want me run it through Moz to see if it passes onsite optimization. I forgot to mention that my site did pass Moz's onsite analysis. I never tried running the other 2 SEO Parallax Scrolling websites through Moz's software.

Thanks for getting back to me!

Thanks for getting back to me. Google is not picking up synonyms so well down here in Argentina yet. I am sure they will get around to it. It seems like a semantic plan might be a good idea then. Let me know your thoughts! THanks

Hi Paul,
First of all congrats on the great new technique. I recently wrote an article about SEO Parallax Scrolling and Responsive websites. There is a website using the hashtag method that is semi SEO friendly here http://flowerbeauty.com/.

However that being said

To answer your concer "but my current concern is that because each subpage is really a part of the primary page, will all those URL's be seen as duplicate content". I believe Google will see this as a multiple page site as long as you have different content on different URL's. Why don't you try adding parallax scrolling to each SEO url and have the scroll function take you to each URL like www.flowerbeauty.com did. Make sure to optimize your URL's as well.

For example

www.example.com/About

as you scroll it would take you too

www.example.com/About/optimized-URL.

I would get rid of the hashtags.

Here are some other SEO friendly parallax scrolling websites. http://www.pinterest.com/ecumbre/seo-and-parallax-scrolling/

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks Carla

Hi Guys,

Thanks for getting back to me and sorry for not being so clear. I will give you a specific example...In Argentine Spanish you can use the term "piletas" or "piscinas" meaning "swimming pools" in English. They are synonyms. Some synonyms are used more than others but both are used in Argentina. We are managing a digital marketing campaign for a swimming pool company here in Argentina. So when we develop quality content for this client, we try to use some terms more than others to help our SEO efforts. They now hired us to do CM (community management) work for them and I am thinking that all the terms we use should be consistent across all digital media types (Facebook, Blog, Pinterest).

There are other terms/concepts they want to rank for and they have many synonyms. The company supplies us with some of the content but I notice that they are not consistent in the terms they use throughout their content. This is when I started to think about a "semantics plan" for content development. So if we are trying to rank for several keywords, we should be consistent in using those keywords instead of their synonyms across all digital media locations.

I know this seems like common sense but yet I see so many digital marketing campaigns being inconsistent with the terminology they use in their content and especially if you have different resources managing different mediums…(ex…SEO specialist vs Community Manager). It seems like these two groups never talk and never define what specific terminology should be used.

I agree that the core value of the content is key but for small campaigns it is hard to develop super high quality content because the client wants results ASAP. We usually mix it up a bit. In other words, one month we might do simple but useful content development, and then another month we do hard core value content. Clients are so impatient...selling the high quality content development philosophy is not easy.

Hope that clears things up

Thanks Carla

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have a "Semantics Communication Plan? I am giving a conference next month and I was planning on introducing the concept of a "semantic​ communications plan". I manage lots of digital marketing campaigns and I notice that a communication plan is created but not the sematics related to the content that will be produced. And even worse, the semantics used in different areas such as SEO (content marketing), Adwords, Social Media is arbitrary based on the person caring out the task. Consistent semantics in digital campaigns seems like it would benefit SEO if it is based on demand (google's using those keywords)...what are your thoughts on this?

Thanks

Carla

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the tip. The contact center is looking for social media software that will help them be more efficient with their responses to typical and repetitive communications. In other words, the software would suggest how to answer a question that came in from Facebook based on previous responses to similar questions. It would almost be based on semantics. They are looking at becoming more efficient. Do you know if Radian accomplishes this? The Contact Center currently uses Hootesuite.

Thanks

Carla

Hi Everyone,

I have a client (Contact Center) that is looking for great social media communications management software. I know this seems a little bit off topic for MOZ but Contact Centers these days are managing big company social media and this expected to grow.

Thanks

Carla

Thanks Lynn,

I see what my issue is. I need to rename some with more generic keywords...

Hi Moz community,

I am working on a SEO project (ecommerce) and most of the images on the website are .png and I notice they do not rank but yet the .jpg do. Do you recommend I change all the .png to .jpg? They all have alt text and keyword filenames (no spam

Here is the website www.moldear.com.ar. Notice the swimming pool coping tiles are .png and the swimming pool images are .jpg. I cannot get the coping images to rank for some reason

Thanks

Carla

Hi Woj,

I took a look at the website and did some research. Google is treating each URL differently and the internal pages are ranking. It appears to be SEO friendly and an amazing solution to Parallax scrolling and SEO. However that being said I am not a programmer. I would need to sit down with a programmer to look at some of the code. If you have one on your team these are the questions I would ask him or her.

1. How is the URL change activated? Is it done with Ajax? From what I can see, the main navigation is a list and the scrolling activates the jump to a new place in the list. Each list element is a new URL.
2. Does the website have an XML sitemap? I do not see one and I would feed this to Google webmaster tools. The site does have a SEO friendly architecture (the titles and metas could be improved a bit) and Google is picking this up

I do think it is ok to dynamically change the URL as you scroll and find it to be a wonderful balance between SEO and Parallax scrolling.

Thanks Carla
