Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Michael !

Thanks Kashif! Definitely

Hi John

Yes, thanks for your feedback! I had no intention of doing it as I have heard a lot of bad stories, but I though I might get an idea on what peoples thoughts were on it hence the article I attached and read.  I'll stick to MOZ and Search Engine Land.

Thanks again for your feedback and response!

Hey Wil,

Thanks for your response! Yes I can agree, I have found some really good quality writers who have proven work etc  Never touched backlinks over there or brought them though, currently looking to do guest post blogging.  Do you have any idea on how to go about finding blogs to guest post within your industry? I have checked backlinks of some of our competitors and most links seem to be quiet spammy, and other links tend to be from the site being well known.

I've never heard of feedster.com as I'm new into this industry, but would you suggest posting a few quest posts there?  I'm in the psychic industry, but we also write about empowerment, relationships, love, mindset, personal development and life coaching etc (enlightenment)

Appreciate your feedback, and thanks again

Hey Don,

Thank you so much! I will definitely give these a go, I tried the google way, and only came up with a lot of forums that were dated back in 2010, seems tricky trying to find something for psychic readings unless I'm looking in all the wrong places. I'll check the backlink profiles of my competitors and see where they're at!

Thanks again

Hi Guys,

Just wondering what is the best way to find forums in your industry?

Thanks Keri

Hi Umar,

Thanks for this I think you just answered my confusion about fiverr backlinks, I read a recent article of someone suggesting to buy fiverr backlinks which raised red flags for me.

Hi Mozers,

I though a while ago I heard that buying backlinks was a no go, until I seen and read this article:  I notice the guy that wrote the article suggested that you can buy backlinks from fiverr, and also just make sure they are do-follow backlinks.  Can someone please correct me and perhaps clear my confusion over this.  As far as I knew it was best to build backlinks by doing guest posting and engaging in relevant forums?

Heres the article: http://socialmediafuze.com/10-backlink-strategies-business/

Thanks guys

Hi Dan,

Sorry confusion from my last message meant to say, the meta tags are all the same for each domain name http://bit.ly/1VInFBK

All title tags are the same which is correct, but all meta tags for each country should be showing up different in the seprts, because if you check the source code for the home page for each domain (COM, COM.AU AND NZ) they are all showing up the same in the serps, but in the code they are different.

Just wondering if you know why that could be happening at all?

Hi Dana,

Thank you so much for the info.

You can see we are thin in content.... I have worked on meta tags, title tags and h1 tags, but its hard for me to track which ones I've completed lol i feel all over the place.  I will take a look at your tools you have suggested.

Hi Guys

As a newbie, I want to avoid any penalties or mistakes as possible that will be due to unknown and have taken some steps to educate myself around international sites and multiple domains.

our aim was to target new zealand first and then branch out.  Whilst we are pondering the NZ site and writing fresh unique articles for the site and the blog.  And besides making the currency, language more relevant to these domains, is there anything else I could work on? I thought about making the meta tags different for the home page and adding Australia etc If we are going to spend time growing the site organically I thought I would make the most of spending the time growing all three together....

Any recommendations on how to get started and optimize the 3 alot better?

Thanks

Hi EGOL

Thanks for your response lol I had a giggle at old fart

I looked into crazy egg I will give it ago and sounds like a good plan with SiteTurners I will take a stab at them as well

Cheers for that!

Hi Mozers!

So I watched a video about Matt Cutts he talks about creating multiple web pages just for one keywords is an absolutely no go.  So I was wondering we serve a clients in NZ Australia and USA, If we target phrase like

Psychic Readings California, Psychic Readings San Diego etc (USA)

Psychic Readings Melbourne, Psychic Readings Sydney (AU)

Psychic Readings Auckland, Psychic Readings Wellington (NZ)

What is the best practice or right way to go about structuring my pages to do this without going against googles guidelines.

Many thanks

Hi Ron

Thanks for your advice.  As a newbie starting out, I was told to find the SEO company that ranks #1 for the keyword SEO, as it seems like well if they are actually ranking for that keyword that should say something? However, I read through their testimonials and noticed they ranked a competitor of mine for web design as that is my area of expertise.  So I called the shot, however not knowing what you have stated above brings me to some conclusions.

I have been told they work 5 hours a month on our SEO for our New Zealand domain.  To which the keywords for the NZ SEARCH is not too competitive, and the competition average, with really a low traffic volume.  They said we would see results within 3 months.  We started in Dec last year 2014, they ran an audit for the month of December, after the audit they sent through recommendations to get the site structure properly set up.  Now in Janurary, they have just said they are working on submitting our site to 20 directories in New Zealand one of them being Dmoz, and a few others I recognised and had already submitted myself.

What they are saying makes logical sense, however the work that they are doing seems like common sense information that I'm basically getting from Moz.

Thanks again for the insight.

Thanks Dirk! This feedback has been very helpful! Appreciate your time and effort!

Hi Thomas,

Wow thanks so much for your help! You rock! Just a question, how do I go about removing that page?  I tried to find it but couldn't get anywhere near it?  Unless im definitely missing something completely here

Cheers

Hi guys,

Are there any restrictions around targeting for keywords? For eg: a competitors name can we target for that keyword?

Would appreciate some advice around this

Thanks

Hi EGOL

Thanks for your feedback.  Yes there is an element of fear in there, I'm new to SEO so still trying to get my head around it all, hence why I'm here getting the assistance required to take these next steps.  I have already re-designed the site, now it is ready to implement so I'm looking to see what needs to be considered before implementing the designs from an SEO point.

Hi Lewis

Thanks for that! This was also confusing as I checked moz and it was saying I only had 2 backlinks, which I couldn't make any sense of, so I sent the web master at the directory that were sending me all the links, works out it was because I was categorised in all regional categories which ended up in being over 900 categories, to which were all linking back to me... This is in the same industry as well, so when i checked the site pointing to me had good authority as well.
