Welcome to the Q&A Forum

It'd be a good idea to contact the customer and ask for their permission first, and if everything is a go it's fine to promote the positive review. It could also make a nice addition to a page where you collect them, if you have something up and running like that. Cheers!

If most of your pictures are the same type of container, you could use a tool like import.io to grab the information from each page. This will miss items in the template and has to be trained just a bit but I think it could work for what you need.

The title should be pretty unique and is a huge ranking factor. It should fit to the content and (imo) to the h1 tag. The content of the description isn't used for ranking, but makes the differnce between click or no click. What I also saw: it is better to have no Meta Description (if the content is good enaugh) as often the same Description. I saw many many pages ranking bad, wich fast get a bit better when I made the descriptions unique. So it may be a ranking faktor how unique the page is. Wich means everything - content, pics, titles, descriptions ... I am running a lot of tests wich take a look on that

FYI...my sitelink search boxes now take visitors to my site results page and no longer a secondary google serp.  guess I just had to wait a bit longer for them to update their index.

Hi there, The only tool i know is http://www.backlinkwatch.com/ Hope it helps you.

I would make sure when you do those searches that you are logged out of everything, using IE (I know, that is ridiculous, but trust me on that one) and have deleted all of your browsing history. You can change your search settings to not display local results, or you can change your location in your search settings if you wanted more local results. What your saying does make sense. I have no idea if a tool like this exists, I really don't think it does unfortunately. It is so hard to predict a SERP that I don't know how someone would create a program to do it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Good Luck!

You could purchase a short domain that represents your company - i.e. hmp.ge Once you have that domain, you could use a service like Bit.ly to use your branded domain to shorten the long URLs If you can't purchase a branded domain, you could always use Bit.ly's or Google's URL shortener to have a recognized shortened URL.

exactly what I was after.  thank you so much!

Your answers are inaccurate. A higher bid does NOT always win. It's the QS X the bid. If a keyword with a high QS X low bid is greater than a keyword with a low QS x high bid, then the lower bidding keyword can still trigger the ad. There is NO pattern to MBM keywords being more expensive than phrase keywords. The opposite can often be true for high intent keywords where it has been discovered to result in more conversions or lower CPA.

Well, there are a lot of sites that aggregate reviews. But they're generally adding some sort of other value. I wouldn't actively try to spread the same review. Content gets scraped every day, why pay for something that's going to happen anyway? That's my general take on things like this. Looking into the situation a little deeper, I think this particular effort is about rep. mgmt. The first thing that has to happen is actually fixing the issue, or issues, with the business. No matter what's done, traditional approaches to reputation management are just a bandage if a real problem exists. What you can do instead is something similar to the Reputation Management Workout section. It's a pretty good overview of how you can generate real reviews. Once those start coming in, you can iframe them or use them as an image. I've seen a case, here on the Moz forum, where a site appeared to drop considerably after including reviews on their site. I'm not 100% sure that was the root cause, but it was also the only change. So if you're feeling feisty, you can try it out and let me know. That particular site was using Schema markup for an aggregate rating without the other reviews. So you can see there are a lot of possible ways to do this inappropriately. Actual, unique, reviews that are properly marked up should be kosher in HTML form. Just be careful to avoid general review spam/schema spam.

I do believe that purchasing direct advertising on specific sites, as well as GDN and other networks are both in the cards. I was just curious about format, since I was under the impression that Flash was being phased out by most sites these days and HTML5 is coming on strong.  Most of the comments here support this theory.  Unfortunately, my company does not.  They still think there is no difference between flash, animated gif and html5 when it comes to banner creative. They will learn soon enough, with or without my input (which is never asked for when planning)

i think my solution will be a unique exterior storefront image of each location and then 9 images that show the range of products and services offered at all locations, using the same 9 images on all like brand profiles.  so, the primary image will be unique and the 9 supporting images will be the same across each brand (200-300 locations each). If a location wants to go the extra mile and send me 9 unique images to use, I will add those as provided, but not make it a requirement. the logistics of trying to get 921 busy business owners to send me 10 images that meet my requirements is nearly impossible, so I have to be realistic in my solution for now.

Glad to help and thankful to be part of such a great community!

Of course. You can see one of mine here at http://linkbuilding.inetseo.co.uk. That started to rank after less than a week of it going live. -Andy

Oke, i see your point. Perhaps you would find your answer in this article-> http://www.e-nor.com/blog/google-analytics/time-on-site-2-0-tracking-conversion-duration-in-google-analytics I would also recommend reading the following article -> http://blog.custora.com/2012/10/dont-look-at-average-time-to-conversion/ They have some valid points in there. I hope my answers have been of assistance

If you filter and show only cells that have been formatted a particular way, say red, all you should have to do is copy and paste the results into a new column. Then you should be able to find and replace the city state with nothing once. That should yield your root keyword list. Just make a copy and delete the other columns if they're presenting an issue.

So, i came up with an alternate method that did not require a new tool.  I used the Search Queries report from Google Webmaster Tools and exported all keywords that garnered at least 1 impression in the past 90 days.  I then did a VLOOKUP in Excel against my keyword list for Average Position from the exported GWMT report.  Anything that did not produce a result can either be assumed to have a position greater than 100 or non-existent, which are essentially the same thing and where I need to improve my site content. The only thing I question is if the Search Queries report in GWMT includes paid search results and rolls that data into the average positions.  That would skew my findings tremendously.  Anyone have any idea on that?

Hopefully this will help: Login to GA and click Acquisition --> All Referrers This report will show all websites that sent traffic to you in the time period you have set in Analytics. Click the Ecommerce or Goals tab at the top of the list and it should give you conversion data for your referrers. Just let us know if we've misunderstood what you're looking to achieve.

I would recommend mozcon and distilled events - They are great for networking
