Welcome to the Q&A Forum

One thing you didn't cover that I'm curious about is: Would it be better to serve a separate mobile page or to make the entire website responsive?

Thanks for the update and fix! Everything is working now on my end.

I imagine most of the initial problems with the domain migration to moz.com will be cleaned up rather quickly.

I did however notice right away my links to my campaigns from the dashboard were not working. I then click the campaigns tab up top and my campaign links worked from there.

Just thought I'd share real quick incase anyone else is having the same issue.

Yes planning and focus are key!

I start every day with a list of things that need to get done arranged most to least. That way I'm sure to accomplish everything. As for around the office I can give you a few more tips. Go out of your way to do something extra and help others without being asked. Do more than what your paid for. Nobody likes a show off but everyone loves the guy that helps them without being asked and makes them look good at their job. Also this is usually the type of person that gets promoted and survives reduction. Just as in social and link building the easiest way to get something is to give it first. Show respect and you'll get it!

That's cool your starting young! I started doing SEO when I was 12 as well but that was long before Google. I have been in sales for a while now as well so ill give you a few tips.

1. Appearance - You can never be too over dressed. I like to wear a suit and tie not because I have to but because that's what CEOs and business leaders wear. If you want them to respect you, you need to convey an appearance of a professional and look like someone they can relate to regardless of age. Other than clothing have trimmed hair, white teeth, smell good!

2. Confidence - Savvy business owners that have been around the block will sense desperation. Even if you need the sale to eat tomorrow you have to convey the attitude that your product rocks and if they don't buy someone else will. You want it to seem like your doing them a favor by being there. However don't be rude or cocky just confident!

3. Opening - Deliver a Benefit statement in the beginning. "I'm ABC from XYZ company we specialized in helping businesses like yours do XX . This year alone we've help over 15 business achieve their goals." Or whatever.....
This will grab their attention and let them know you mean business!

4. Plan - Having a plan for the meeting can go along way. Before you meet with any client you should write your desired out come. Then in reverse order engineer how you will get from Point A (the Open) to Point B (desired Outcome). You will usually do this by gaining agreement along the way. Just link leaving bread crumbs to find your way home. You want to get agreements on your way to the close. You know a head of time where the conversation is going and why before you ever enter the meeting.

5. Focus - Your focus and intention are often times what shines through the most. If your intention is and you focus on Helping the client they will sense this and trust you.Once you have their trust age wont matter.

Hope that helps!

Does anyone know if there is a way to get all of my account's campaign's to get crawled and rank reports on the same day?

Just real quick...

You have a few validation errors: html css

You could use placing your keywords onsite as anchor text, and in image alt text.

Also you should style your text BOLD and Italic with html tags: and , instead of with css how you currently have it:

You could use a keyword rich

tag.

Also the site ranking #1 has about 70,000 more followed links to their site than you do yours.

Check out this post on a clever way to insert more onsite text when hovered over images.

Hope that Helps!

I guess it's a matter of intent and use. I personally don't believe that just because people use this as a spam technique it should not be used in a legitimate scenario as the one described above. If each product has an info div describing the product which can be hovered over to show the text than the end result is better UX. In my opinion better UX converts better.I think as long as It is used properly and for the right reasons it's not spam.

As far as being SPAM in Google's algorithm, I don't know!

Google has top-secret algorithms designed to detect when text is hidden/positioned off screen. If this type of hidden text is detected, our important red phone rings, and this becomes one of the signals that may cause us to believe your site is deceptive.

The KEYWORD here is MAY.

May cause us to believe your site is deceptive - leads me to believe it is analyzed on a case to case basis. Which if your not spamming like hiding hidden links or 1000 words of text you'd probably be fine.

However this leads to a greater question. Should spammers hijacking legit design techniques ruin them for everyone and keep legitimate needed sites from using them due to fear of being de-indexed?

Using css create a div positioned left:-9999;

Create an info button or link that with

a.hover divName  {  left: 300 - or whatever !

Should work and not be spam just cool css at work !

This question is both specific and open ended.

I have a new web project I've been working on content for. I paid to have a really sweet research article written and I am in the process of turning it into an info-graphic as well. Being that the the website is so new it doesn't have many customers and few to no blog readership.

Now that I will soon have great content for the site should I :

A. Post on the Blog ?  ( Its a Blogger on a blog. domain.com )

B. Post as a static page on the website ? (domain.com/content)

C. Something Else ?

Whats the easiest to promote and push traffic to?
Which will rank best?
Which will rank longer?
Which will rank faster?

Any other suggestions to get the content in front of the niche market?

I originally thought this myself. The problem I have with that is that it occurred on only one of the websites. If the issue was content duplication wouldn't both sites have the issue?

I recently launched 2 completely separate and unrelated websites at the same time. Both are new domains and hosting accounts. neither have any links. One is ranking for a branded search and the other is not. The interesting thing is that I tested both sites on the back end of my server before launch. The site that is not ranking for branded search IS ranking still on the back end of my site for the branded search. I have removed all content and 301 redirected the testing urls back to my portfolio page.

Could this be do to Google indexing one but not the other. Does it have anything to do with testing on my server first and my DA being higher than current new sites? Or is it something completely different I'm missing completely. Is this a Penalty?
