Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi There This can be common with new sites. Google will test out it's rankings in the beginning to see how users respond etc - and then it may "settle" to a more normal ranking. These small adjustments to on-page things like H1s (which is not a strong signal) etc are probably going to make very small differences. I would recommend looking at other factors such as back links, domain authority, local citations etc. You can use the Moz Keyword Difficulty tool to gather lots of metrics around why certain sites rank where they do, and where you stand compared to those that are ranking. Take a look though these link building strategies as well as GetListed for some help on the links and citations. Hope that helps! -Dan

Personnaly I use PRWEB because they offer good results, maybe you can have a look at this competitor but as they don't give the prices easily I guess they are much more expensive than prweb: http://www.prnewswire.com/

Andrew, How long have you used hittail.com?

In the US, Localeze, Infogroup, and Acxiom are the "big three" data providers.

Excellent does that answer all your questions? Sincerely, Thomas

I think the traffic estimator is taking a higher quality score KW and giving you a general range. I think that the CTRs seem over-ambitious, myself. If you haven't already run the account, how do you know it's on the low end? Were you just predicting more? You don't have to be at the Top Spot of course. Position 3-5 are still normal to target and will give you a lower CTR, lower CPC & more traffic. Depends on what your KPIs are, I guess.

Even if you want a blog on a separate domain, I would still go with a self hosted wordpress install. You'll look more legit, have more freedom, be able to modify / optimise the site the way you see fit and not have to worry about any 3rd party rules / limits etc.

The quick answer is that we could either crawl all of Twitter...or we could crawl some of Twitter, and crawl some of the rest of the web. We just don't have the resources to crawl all of Twitter right now, so not everything there gets picked up in OSE.

His main company will only allow 4 pages on his site. Huh?  Who are these guys?  They need a kick in the pants.

Thanks for the information.  I will check out People per Hour.  I have used guru.com and elance.com, but wanted other places to find good people.
