Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If you work for an Agency and build a strong profile here at SEOMOZ, what happens if I leave and get a new opportunity but my profile is tied to my last business? How do I transfer all the hard work I've done being involved and gaining those super awesome MOZPOINTS to my new spot?

The old agency can just swoop in and the new guy will benefit from my work in the community. Is there anyway to safeguard your name.

The only downside to changing a URL is if you don't 301 and the crawl path gets changed. Here are a few tips to remember when changing URL structure

1. Setup 301 Redirect
2. Make sure URL is SE Friendly (If your selling organic dog food on the page the URL should read like so - http://www.domain.com/organic-dog-food) Remember a good URL is meaningful and a great URL is obvious

So that's my 2 cents hope it helps

Hi I would be glad to help you in any way I can. The process can be daunting if your not focused. You asked how we know what we are working on the right thing. Well the right things are pretty easy to know we need its the execution of those strategies that separate the pack. If you are looking for some guidance on a strong content marketing plan I can help and no i don't want anything in return, just a chance to grow my network and help someone else. You never know someday I may need a favor. So lets connect and start out by asking me questions and we can go from there.

What about content marketing do you want to know?

Thanks Eric

yeah I was afraid of that, so now I need to start my own account I guess. I would think that SEOMOZ would consider this issue since mostly companies have SEOMOZ accounts.

On my team we cringe when we here the words "Keywords" and "Rankings" like a kid at Hogwarts hearing "Voldemort"

I say take the time that the rankings are not showing to focus on other more productive items like ROI and coming up with new core metrics to show value.

Rankings are becoming less and less important..so take the time the future SEO Gods have bestowed on you and plan past KW rankings

No this will not help any other pages except the page the title tag directly correlates to. Also you only want one key term per title tag and the title tag should:

1. Read like an organic sentence such as if your key term is "Boston Dining" and your company is the "Boston Harbor" your Title Tag should read to the effect of "Experience fine Boston dining at the Boston Harbor Hotel"
2. If you are going to use breaks stay away from the "|" symbol as using this will cause your site to be non ADA complaint. Use dashes instead because they create a better experience for accessibility
3. Do not exceed 70 characters in order for your title tag to read best across the search results.

Here is a great read over at Acumium if you want some more meat

I appreciate the advice,

I don't want to come off as a jerk I know who you are and respect you and your partner for having the agency but the way you started your last comment wasn't cool and I want to be very clear that I am a player in this Search Marketing and web development scene and combine the two with a can't lose attitude and that's how I win long term regardless of where I'm at.

However I'm not thinking of leaving it was just a "what if" thought. The fact that you compete against us and win is OK to hear however I must say that you haven't been beating me, as I have been there only 90 days and have spent that time cleaning house and developing top notch programs that I'm sick at executing as well as having the resources to do so. In the past 90 days I have helped bring in 2 national partners that will be disclosed in the media over the next few weeks, a new website, a new team structure, altered our reporting schedules along with completely new reporting metrics,we got rid of Raven as per my request because I am throwing out the very mention of "Ranking" and reporting on Metrics that actually matter with a new Reporting company. My Content Marketing plan has depth and reach, my Outreach program is up to every industry standard and more, Local Program that can't lose, voice search optimization..yes im a bit of SIRI Algorithm expert, Video Optimization plan with a focus on Accessibility issue and more items that will quickly be weeding out the folks in town who aren't up to par.

Oh I also brought in two dev teams that I manage overseas that have been with me for years, we just came off of developing an enterprise system for TravelClick a quarter of a billion dollar company. These dev teams are not only building custom applications that I have developed for .Com, we are also working on an entirely new system that quite honestly will change the game with regards to Social Brand Engagement. I also have a great network of Multi lingual SEO analysts experts in specific dialects with certain demographics and have developed the most comprehensive Multi-Lingual search marketing plan ever directed at a non English speaking demographic oh right and just inked a deal with an Orlando NBC affiliate that wants to back my new program.

So again I appreciate the advice, maybe we can sit and do lunch one day and you can apologize for starting our relationship off on the wrong foot and I can apologize for being a hot headed Italian kid from New Jersey who won't lose...
