Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Mate,

Here are some ideas how you can spend the money:

• Use PR content and syndicate articles about your product via different PR websites, would involve content writers writing PR content about your product.

• Use some of the funds and buy a link building service on related sites, I would outsource that to some where like odesk but do your research wisely.

• Generally just look for some people to buy social media based link building from, and really push it in related sections.

• Hire some one to write some guest post content for you and also hire them to find related sites to post guest posts on.

I mean their are millions of ideas out their just check out SEER for a great post about local link building ideas:

Hi,

Yes you can do this, it is all about targeting long tails.

The main thing you need to remember is that you want to have content which is about sleeping bags on the sleeping bags page and then when you make the north facing sleeping backs page make sure the content is unique to the other page.

you deal with issue across many niches not just ecommerce, just make sure you target 1 or 2 keywords per title and page and use unique content on pages and you will be fine.

In my experience you would want to have two seprate sites with seprate content for the Global market and for the AU specific market.

Having the same content on both the .com and the .com.au is not exactly going to do any thing good for your clients website.

Also with the re directs, I have seen some really messy ones in the past which can also block the ability to crawl the site.

Hi to be honest article spinning use to bring great results yet recently we see more and more changes with Google cracking down on spinners. I mean Article Samurai is said to be a decent tool using the best spinner, I have tested it and it seems to be decent.

Yet the best results will be driven from authority PR article sites which are indexed in Google news. It is a real method of trial and error you can submit your article to 100 low quality article sites or 10 very high article sites which will yield better results.

To be honest adding &pws=0 is not as strong as it once was a few years ago, in todays market if you want one of the best ways to view non personalized results you need to use the Google Ad Preview Tool -

https://adwords.google.com/d/AdPreview/?__u=1000000000&__c=1000000000

Their is no way logging out will totally wipe all the data.

If you check site:website.com.au

and it has been de indexed then yes it has been dropped, my guess is for quality.

google has removed around 1 million+ blogs for quality issues.

question: how do you get it back?

answer: you need to pimp your site out, add heaps of great content, remove the ads, make it look like a website, remove any paid links or bad backlinks you can.

then you submit a reconsideration request -http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35843

This has happened too many people, most of the time low quality content + Over use of adsense is the problem.

To get quick links:

• sign up to forums and make a members page.

• Add the website to social bookmarking websites such as Reddit, Stumble Upon ect.

• Add the site to directory sites.

• even add the site to web master tools imo speeds up the process.

My advice for keyword research is too not just factor on exact match and broad match, you need to factor in other forms of research to supplement your data.

You need to remember this data is only a guide from Google Exact match data is in no way an accurate determination of what traffic the specific keyword gets.

MY advice it the following -

Split up excel into the following:

1. line Exact 1. line Broad 1. line other research 1. line competitive analysis for the term.

You need to pull information from various sources, do not rely only on Google.

Hi,

you have two options:

1. 301 redirect: this is where you can point the domain to the new page or website.

2. Built the site out into a niche website which will rank.

Personally it depends how strong the other domain is if it is a great keyword rich domain, I would make it into a mini site and put a logo saying part of XYZ company.

a few things to work on:

1. Make sure content is unique

2. Make sure your internal link structure is working well.

3. Make sure you have relevant links.

4. Make sure you have social media buttons connecting up your website.

5. Make sure on page SEO is all good ie. titles, Descriptions, footer ect.

6. Keep connected with competitor movements.

Google Keyword data from the keyword tool is only updated on a monthly basis, trends data is updated more quickly.

Another thing is that keyword tool data is an estimate, I have written a post on alternant keyword research ideas on the SEOmoz blgo recently: http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/advanced-seo-keyword-research-tips-and-ideas-14216

Hope it helps

Well the thing about the dot BIZ site is that they are manly targeting this keyword alone, and they are not worrying about any other keywords.

Google still does give some favor to EMD (exact match domains) with targeting keywords.

A few other tips:

1. Look at the backlinks they have used and try to copy some for your keywords.

2. Try and move the AADL keyword to first in your title.

3. Internally link to AADL within your website to make use of your internal link juice.

4. Build backlinks to your page but mix up the anchors with brand/ url/ generic ect.

Keep adding new content.

This way you should rank for AADL

Social Media Profiles you may be able to automate,

Yet forums and blogs it is very hard to automate those mediums, due to the fact people with authority sits will usually block automated comments, you really need to add a personal and unique level to these sites rather then just an automated line.

Hi,

I think you answer your own question, some times people fall short and only limit forum traffic to forum keywords.

You need to be smart and have sections on your forum like:

• News section

• Blog section.

So rather than just targeting the forum traffic you can target multiple sections in your forum article section, have guest posts from other Bears fans and do soo many more things in this area.

Also make sure you use exact match search for your keyword research.

Kind Regards.

If you go to an SEO agency which has its own network of sites it is risky,

An ethical SEO agency will do natural link building practices using some of the following methods:

• Link prospecting (looking at competitors links) finding niche link opportunities.

• Building great content to obtain links.

• PR syndication to get links.

• Video syndication to get links.

• Building links on related industry sites.

• Building reputation on forums to obtain links.

The list in endless!!! If an agency says to you ok we have a network of 50 sites we will add your site to them all I would not trust it.

I still see related searches showing, but I have noticed Google has been playing around with numerous tests in this space recently.

That been said if they take it away it is not the end of the world as some of this data can still be taken from KW research and also auto suggest.

But yes their have been some "tests" by Google in this area that is for sure.

I would use the new link,

Another point is that when 301s happen you can loose the anchor text value from some old links too.

Google does take time to note new urls too.

Well the thing is that it is not ethical to do this type of thing. If Google finds out you are trying to sabotage your competitors it can end up making your company/brand look very very bad. you would never try this for a big respected brand.

That been said people do this kind of thing every day in niches like poker, I also saw a recent example in my market where a clients website was hit with 1000s of adult links from competitors over night.

If you want to build links yourself you may need say 5 hours a week to do the work.

If you want to outsource link building ask the businesses to provide real examples from your target market, you need to be wary of link builders who are not from your local market, for example in Australia you want to build .com.au I have seen so many link building companies build links in .co.uk for example.

Examples of where you can build easy links:

• High Quality directories.

• Social Bookmarking websites.

• Related websites in your niche.

• Make articles for article directories.

• Contact partners and suppliers and ask if you can do guest posts on blogs.

Hi,

Using Autoblogs or low quality blogs to spam links is not the best quality link building tactic. The links are also all coming off a sub domain not a main site too.

This is not really going to do a whole lot for the client.

The specific website you have used also is not currently working.
