Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Why not the position of educating the client to the importance of creating brand awareness by engaging in social web efforts that build their brand or product. Explain the benefits of true likes where the engage user comments and share relavent content they are interested with their friends. Maybe they will see the value in social marketing. Or why not show them how to run ads on FB to pay for real people interested in their brands product or service. I've been successful at this for our own business with 25,000 fans on out page and tons of interaction/feed back.

We've added both subdomain blogs and   .com/blog & .com/news  to start creating better content.  We have had a blog for years that lived under another name with 100's of post be find it necessary to create better quality content that lives on our site.

hope that helps.

I agree and disagree in the SEO relation and value.  I'm not a wizard but we have studied our pages that are popular in the " Like, Share, G+, Tweet etc"  and those all rank better.  In addition, it seems that several of of those shared links are populating well.

I do believe that valid "likes" from real consumers are very important to gaining knowledge about customer demographics.

We have " Like, Share, G+, Tweet etc"  on every product page, we've seen results.

Hope it helps,

Chad

I found a blogger- hired them and then they passed me around to all their friends.

Tom, www.thegardengates.com Thanks Chad

I feel a lot better reading this. I've had a few just disappear. We had keywords that rank #2 and just are gone. We don't have any warnings, we have tons of unique content(updated constantly)clean links. Traffic dropped. We do everything by the book and have a very thought out plan including press releases, croos posting on social, blogging, guest blogging ,etc. I noticed hayneedle.com filled page after page of poor quality page links for each of these keywords and amazon pages promoting their site. I'm losing my mind but our domain authority increased etc. hopefully this is just a bump in the road. Love any help for anyone wwww.thegardengates.com

Don't feel bad- we do the same thing and I'm convicted it's not accurate. I can find a link between our PPC and the longptail even though it's reporting under organic. It seems like the real time is very glitchy as well.

I've had an issue with to many links on the site. My drop down menu, secondary footer and footer. The report told me that I had 253 links on each page. I then programmed my secondary footer to dynamic and ran a crawl and my links reduced accordingly to 201. Then turned the footer into dynamic and ran a crawl with my links increasing to 1500. This also happened between each phase but en went away. Oddly enough, my domain authority increased as well as other factors in the crawl report. This too many links thing is driving me crazy. Please provide some guidance.
