Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Diane,

I've never used a voiceover before, but you could take a look at a freelancer site like People Per Hour, they have listings for voicover artists in the UK - http://www.peopleperhour.com/find/voiceover_artist

Hope that helps!

Hi Nick,

No problems, how does the backlink profile look aside from the parked domain links mentioned?

Hi Pete,

It sounds like you're new to SEO, so I would recommend reading the SEOMoz guides to get yourself started: http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links

In particular look at the 'Link Building Basics' & '5 Samples of Link Building Strategies' sections.

There's plenty of tools to help you analyze competitors links, and to help you find potential websites to get links from, but understanding what type of links you need & why is far more important.

Good luck!
Greg

Hi astahl11,

If you're looking to promote infographics on your blog I would personally be aiming for related topics, whilst the 'deflation' debate around tech products sounds interesting I think you may struggle to get any traction with an unrelated site behind it as such.

Have you explored all the various areas your site could offer in terms of infographic topics?

• As your site is about mentoring and shadowing a career path, perhaps something along the lines of inspiring people with online presence/profiles. To test the water you could try some top 10 style lists, with more of an ego bait angle perhaps?

• Stats surrounding apprenticeships and getting young people started in new careers?

• A survey surrounding job satisfaction? And linking that to stats about changing your career path - how many people have tried it, how many have succeeded, what route did they follow, etc?

Hope that helps in some way.
Thanks, Greg

Hi Nick,

Personally I would ignore those OSE link results from sites that are now parked domains, I would assume that Google has already cached the newly parked page & as a result the link is no longer active, or that Google will be caching the parked page pretty soon. It's probably just the case that the OSE data is out of sync, and you should see those old links drop off with the next linkscape update from SEOMoz.

I would definitely create better content and focus on building better links, you should definitely be aiming for quality over quantity with your new backlinks.

With regards to redirecting old URLs/creating new content on this site, have you received any webmaster tools notifications for the domain name in question?

Greg

Just noticed your reply below, with regards to speeding your WP site up, try a cache plugin such as WP Super Cache - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/

No problems, glad it was useful, please feel free to mark the question as answered so I can earn a few extra MozPoints thanks!

Hi,

Can also recommend Wordpress SEO by Yoast: http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/

Has a lot of the features mentioned from the other SEO related plugins, but all-in-one.

Hi Wayne,

Yoast had a post on this topic that might be of some use: http://yoast.com/wordpress-search/

If you didn't fancy trying those manual edits, you could try a plugin such as Relevanssi

Hope that helps.

Hi Michael,

I would recommend installing the Wordpress SEO plugin from Yoast first - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/

& then take a read of his Wordpress SEO guide, in particular this section relating to categories, tags and author pages - http://yoast.com/articles/wordpress-seo/#advancedseo

Hope that helps! Greg

You can find that particular badge on the My Settings page of your Pro account:

I think if you're questioning it yourself, then you already have a big clue to the answer

I'm learning the hard way that quick attempts to build generic directory links in the past were very short lived, so building links from sites that I would use/visit myself is usually quite a good starting point, it takes more time in acquiring them, but they're going to be good for the long term.

Good luck!

I think a lot of people fear making changes to Meta descriptions and page titles especially once they have established rankings for fear of rocking the boat! Whilst with PPC you're able to continually adjust and monitor, doing the same with organic listings is probably seen as a bit of a risk to many?

Having said that, I think it's probably a very under utilized method of conversion rate optimisation at a very early stage, so if you can effectively track it & get the mix of good CTR whilst holding/improving on rankings, then you're on to a very good thing IMO

If you're looking for SEO benefits, the obvious answer would be YouTube as there's a ton of potential traffic & visibility through their search alone, there's also the possibility of receiving benefits of video listings on Google SERPs with YouTube videos thanks to their ownership.

The only downside is that you may end up having a competitor advertising via advertisements on your video.

Another option is Vimeo, but they have very strict rules on commercial content, so it would depend what you're planning to upload, even with a pro account I think some people have had issues with commercial content.

Here's a few related Pro Q&A that may help you further:

• Better to host videos locally...or from youtube/other sources?
• Video Hosting Service or YouTube?
• YouTube Optimisation

Hope that helps in some way!

Sorry if you already know some of this, but if not hopefully it's of some help.

Domain Authority isn't calculated based on your website content's quantity or quality, it's based on link metrics of other sites linking to your website.

"We calculate this metric by combining all of our other link metrics (linking root domains, number of total links, mozRank, mozTrust, etc.) into a one single score" (http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/domain-authority)

Run both domains through the Open Site Explorer and compare the number of links from root domains + the domain authority scores of those links and you should begin to see the difference.

It's probably also worth watching Rand's Whiteboard Friday on Domain Trust & Authority: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-domain-trust-authority

Apologies if you've already considered this, but, how about using Facebook Questions for your fan page?

Just visit your page as an admin user and you have the Question option with the status update section, or alternatively you can switch to using Facebook as your page and visit the main Questions section.

Here's a quick guide on Mashable for the second option - http://mashable.com/2011/03/28/how-to-add-facebook-questions/

Hopefully that has the flexibility you need!
