Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Try semrush that will give you an idea of how much paid vs organic traffic they have

This might help- this was just posted by rand on twitterRand Fishkin ‏@__randfish__

Many folks are asking us about Moz rankings data. At this time we have no plans to remove. I'll try to write about this more very soon.

I agree -your best bet is to contact strong related sites and ask them to feature your content.

Art of seo is great and worth buying it

The best way is to give your drop shippers a feed with 1 set of descriptions and your site having another set (people will still copy but much less)

In my opinion anything that looks like real marketing (on real sites) and isn't abused is safe- good work

I don't like using a www.brand-global.com if you have a www.brandglobal.com it looks a tad spammy and second rate in my opinion. I don't think it will impact highly on the brand search terms.

If you do choose www.brand-global.com i would for sure buy www.brandglobal.com and 301 redirect it

-Take a look at domain values the - is always a cheaper domain

I always like to have contact info on every page it helps users and that is what google wants. Local business need this more then pure online stores but make sure its not on a image on the banner so google can read it

Stick to vendor listings and niche directories and stay away from seo directories

Agency

I think if you comment on real blogs and write real helpful comments it is worth it from a seo and marketing point of view.

I think  Press Releases are great for brand new sites to get ranked for the brand name they are also great for reputation management or to own a branded serp.

For regular seo i only see value in it if the content of the pr will get picked up and rewritten by real sites. In order for this to happen you have to have a great compelling piece of news.

I hope this helps

ps. You can find a number of  Press Release companies - prweb , prnewswire, marketwire ,ereleases etc

I always like to segment the list to gain more control this can be done by brand or manufacturer ,product etc play around with different ways of breaking up the list so you can see what is worthy of spending on and what isnt.

You made the infographic on a subject that doesnt interest the masses so you will have a hard time getting this picked up. Also the focus of the infographic should be world record for licking stamps with a big image of a tongue licking a stamp etc-  I would try more about facts about snail mail etc

The home page doesnt have a keyword in it only the sub pages do.

so you home page is www.example.com and the page that is about keyword is www.example.com/keyword

Hope this helps

First step is set up a author page on your site with info about the persona you are pitching from showing some reasons why this person is an authority in your field. Then you got to start building relationships use email, twitter etc

Myblogguest is great start  to get your feet wet but quality of sites is an issue.

If its a good site and from a marketing point of view it has value you will be fine with 1 paid link on 1 page on the site - the people who get hit for buying links buy lots

You can setup multiple conv tracking codes and/or track it thru analytics goals/ funnels

-look into analytics funnels they do just that -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IibCs23EuiE

You can use adwords to multiple domains (or from multiple accounts) even from the same ip as long as you are not double serving ads for a keyword.

I dont think a drop in one position is enough to say you got hit. It can be anything or nothing
