Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I like to send out a prweb release as well

i like shareasale.com

Just some quick ideas for you

Firstly i cant get to your facebook etc pages from site - i can only like etc .

Leverages your audience-  i would do something for links with a strong blog or site who wants to get infront of that big social audience of yours.

Have them create content for you to put on your site that might attract attention and links.

Have them Share and spread the love links will follow

It all depends on what you plan on doing to market them. What tactics are you using? To be honest you have some really hard terms on that list you probably will not rank on 1st page for years if ever.

We find the best way is by mixing linkexchange with a contest or joint effort providing some sort of value  ie interview etc you can gain safe links and real marketing value.

What is your question?

From What it sounds like you are going about this all wrong stop thinking like a 2011 seo - Its not about quantity its about making one piece of content so great and graphically appealing & targeted to who you think will post it and then pushing it as hard as you can. Then step back and see where you had success a repeat with your new found knowledge.

i would go with something like DIEGOESTATES.COM or REALESTATEDIEGO.COM

I find freelancers are only good if You first know seo or have a plan then you can hire someone and tell them exactly what you want them to do. Thats why going with a company can be a better option - if you dont have the budget you should take a consultant who can make you a road map of what you need then you can find a freelancer to do the work.  - you can pm me what you need done and your budget and ill try to refer you to some freelancers.

I would only use- Video Provided By Site Brand

I dont think you need more then 100 words on your home page- look at http://www.seomoz.org/ they dont have so many words - the key is to make your words count not just filler for seo

The client was never given access to the ad account that is being used to runs the ads for them even thought it is billing their cc. The agency claims that industry standard is to not provide access. I spoke to facebook and they said they cant help. I was wondering if this is a common issue?

You can find good onsite seo's for $500 montlhy but the link building and brand marketing is what costs alot these days.Take your money higher someone to do a onsite audit and changes.

After that is all done you need to get a name for yourself and have people talk about you and link to you in a natural way. You can do that in 2 ways

1- Offer something amazingly valuable on/off your site and let people in your niche know about it (easier said then done)

2- Higher someone to help you add value to your niche in a real marketing way (a seo's role and why it costs so much and why the good ones can charge alot)

The days of cheap seo's building links with no brains are over

50% is still pretty difficult i would suggest you run some other keywords to get a feel for the tool

Infographics require 5 things - A plan , Research ,layout , design , and promotion

Which part do you need help with?

You can use some tools to do the design if you dont know how but they are not as nice.

Try not to build links try to attract them - This is the better long term goal. Think can your break news , Curate news better, use a better medium like video and infographics etc

Short answer is they dont help much unless they get picked up and reworded

You can read up about it here http://authoritylabs.com/blog/googles-matt-cutts-says-press-releases-dont-have-seo-value-or-do-they/

Matt Cutts: Right. So the link from a press release will probably not count, but if that press release convinces an editor or a reporter to write a story about it, and that’s an editorial decision, then if that newspaper links to your website as a result of that editorial decision to write a story, it doesn’t matter whether it started or was sparked by a press release or it was started by an email that you sent. It’s still someone making a decision to cover it.

His bounce rate is high because he is running a Ppc lead gen and it is designed to have a high bounce rate to get more leads. You have nothing to worry about from a SEO perspective this is the way its done.

No his ppc setup is made to funnel his users to fill out the lead form which causes a high bounce rate while increasing his ppc ads effectiveness.
