Great answer Lynn! Glad I read it because I was going to recommend the same thing.
Just wanted to confirm that you were right about GA Events, you are allow to set them up as Goals but you can't set up funnels on them.
Cheers.

I don't think you will have any problem. It won't be a doorway page or something like that because you are not deceiving the users, you are actually showing them the information they are requesting in the best possible way.
Hi Samuel,
Google won't penalize you in any way if you redirect mobile users to another URL. Here you can find Google's Recommendations for building smartphone-optimized websites.
The best way to go for them is building a responsive design, but as you can see, Google encourages mobile redirections too.
I have never hire anybody to write content but I've seen Hubspot recommending some of their tools to hire external bloggers. These tools are Zerys and WriterAccess.
I'm sorry I cannot give you any insight of these tools, perhaps someone here had an experience with them and can share some comments.
Best of luck.
Thanks for your suggestion Oleg. I'll try your G+ idea and see how it works out.
Cheers.
Thanks for the answer Oleg.
I thought it was a little bit silly too. But since the links aren't being "naturally" build it made me hesitate.
It's difficult to get those links indexed first in our site since some job offers can last just 2 weeks and we need to quickly make outreach to comply with clients.
What if, instead of posting my site's specific job offer link I post my home page?
Hi everyone,
I have a new client that's a huge company and has a disastrous ranking. It's a Human Resources company that among other things, they post job offers on their site in which people have to register to apply.
As a channel to outreach more people, they are using a popular site for job offers on the country. There, the job position is described and they tell users to apply within this channel or on their own site. But there's no actual link to their site.
Will Google find it spammy to post their site's link for that specific job offer on this channel on every job description? No competitor is doing it so it made me doubt a little bit.
NOTE: The job offer channel doesn't allow us to "nofollow" a link. All the links are followed.
Thanks to any suggestion.
Hi!
I've been using Sprout Social to manage my Social Media. I saw a video of Social Bakers and was a little bit curious. I haven't heard of it. So I clicked through an ad to look at their features & pricing. I was surprised to see such high values.
Does anyone has any experience working with this tool? Are this reports providing a lot more of information than the ones that I can handle through Sprout Social?
Thanks for any comment that can help me understand this.
Hi Thomas,
The image didn't attach successfully. I get the error: "The requested content cannot be loaded.
Please try again later."
As Federico said it could be because it's a recent change. Also perhaps you are getting traffic for those urls from other source. Is that possible?
You can always go for 301 redirects and be sure that your customers are visiting the page you want.
Here I found a post about a very similar problem to yours. Maybe it could help you.

Hi Rahul!
I recently answer a very similar question. Lynn Patchett comment was extremely helpful as well.

Hope it helps.
Hi!
Reciprocal links may have a reputation of being spammy but it's not a black hat practice and should't be avoided if it makes sense. It's normal for businesses to work together or share relationships and link to each other.
Just like having and ad, from a SEO perspective it won't hurt you. I don't think that it will help you very much in your ranking either. I guess that you will get most benefit in the traffic that come from those links as high quality potential clients.
Hi Ringo!
It really depends on what kind of video you want to make. Animation videos are very used nowadays. You can see Crazy Egg's site as a very good example of how to promote a product by these types of videos. At least in my country, to hire someone to design this, is kind of expensive and learning Adobe After Effects to do it yourself can take a lot of time.
I found the solution on Wideo which allows you to make a pretty decent animated video very fast and "as easy as editing a doc in Word". I hope it helps!
