Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Our site though does keep a timer on a active session so that once it reaches the range of several hours it will log you out automatically to keep your session secure.

The system is logging me out every few hours. In the past, I thought I could browse the web all day without having to repeatedly login to the Mozbar.  Is my memory that bad that i don't correctly recall the previous behavior?

I thought this issue had been resolved a few months ago.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Is there any progress being made or is this still on the back burner?

I'm using Volusion.

Thanks for responding.  I am in the process of adding Yotpo to one of my sites now and look forward to activating the reviews soon.  The system will send automated email requests to customers who made a purchase in the last 90 days, but currently there is no way to request reviews of products that were purchased prior to that.  Sure would be nice if they would extend that range beyond 90 days.  I don't fully understand the reach of the social aspects, but I think I have to begin using the system before I can fully appreciate the details and impact.

I also wish they would implement a user forum.  In theory, they are working on that, but not sure why that would take more than a few days to do using an off-the-shelf solution.  Beyond those two issues, the system does look promising.

Anyone have experiences using Yotpo to support reviews for an eCommerce site?

Is there a way Google can detect hacked social buzz vs those who pay FB to boost a post?

An interesting article on how to get social media buzz:

Thanks, Lesley.  I have used Wildfire and SocialAppsHQ in the past.  I can see the flexibility of awarding points could prove useful, plus the ability to host on our own web page.

Do you get any viral lift?  Do you promote (with $) your contests on FB or other social sites?

Thanks for the quick response.  Regarding links, I was more concerned about the potential for harm.  Google is smacking companies hard that use link building schemes that do not enhance the user experience, and earning raffle points in exchange for a link seems like a paid link.  Perhaps one way to offer points in exchange for a link is to provide a copy/paste URL that includes a nofollow.

PS: Good to know Rafflecopter is working for you.  I may give it a try as well.

I received an invite from a company to enter a contest for a chance to win a prize.  The contest is run by Rafflecopter.  Rafflecopter looks interesting because you can place the contest anywhere including social sites and your own website.  Contestants can increase the chances of winning in various ways such as an FB like, tweet, etc.  The largest number of points (for this particular contest) are awarded for linking from your website to their website.  Given that the contestant must add the link to their website and the sponsoring company can not control whether they use nofollow, couldn't this contest approach to link building cause problems for SEO?  If the contest included instructions to copy and paste the html with a nofollow, that would seem like a better solution, but the only guidance given was to link to their home page.

Your thoughts?

I prefer the MozBar at the top of the browser.  When using the Firefox browser the MozBar does not hide any of the web page.  When using the Chrome browser the MozBar (depending on the site) often hides the top portion of the web page.  Is there a way I can use the MozBar at the top of Chrome and get the same functionality as Firefox?

Sweet!  I use SEO by Yoast (and his sitemap) so this will be an easy solution.

Thanks.  I have installed the new version and will look for this setting going forward.

Thanks for the quick response.

Ok I see what you mean, it doesnt create a separate page,

What do you call it if not a page?  The image is linked by an href.  Isn't that another page?  Does that href pass link juice to a page with no content?

If you click on link to NONE the image will not open in a new window.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Here is a post I created this morning and have not yet cleaned up.

http://www.freelapusa.com/david-oliver-prepares-for-iaaf-world-championship-moscow-2013/

Click on the image to see what I mean.  Is there any value to adding a separate page for the image?  Doesn't that pass link juice to a page with no content?  Is there an automated way to turn off this feature in WP?  I really like WP but unless I'm missing something (quite possible) the feature set of the Media Library seems woefully lacking.

I used Dreamweaver for years but have recently been switching to Wordpress.  On the whole the results have been very positive.  However, I don't like the way that WP generates a page for images when the image is inserted into a blog post.  I was just reading this http://www.eyeflow.com/content-strength-audit/ excellent article on Content Strength Audit and it referred to this problem as well.

Often, when I insert an image into a blog, I delete the reference to the image page and link directly to the image.  Is this an effective way to deal with the is problem?  Is there a better approach?

Thanks for the quick response.  This looks promising.

I used Woopra for the past year to monitor real time traffic to my websites but they recently dropped support for the desktop app and replaced it with a web app.  As best I can tell the web app does not have the real-time alerts and other features that made the desktop app very compelling for me.  Perhaps I don't fully understand how to use the new web app, but I don't find it particularly useful.  Are there any other tools that provide good real-time monitoring of websites.

Bleed is just slang that means that portion of the PageRank is lost.  If a page has multiple outgoing links, the PageRank is divided among them.  If some of these links are nofollow, the portion of the PageRank associated with those links is not only not passed on, it is lost.  In other words, the PageRank is divided among all outgoing links, both follow and nofollow.
