Welcome to the Q&A Forum

What process is performed to get a company's phone number to show as "A" on google maps. Google displays the phone number for the company on the map as "A" first. It would be beneficial to get that position.

Is there a sub-category of seo that does this?

Thanks in advance!

Okay, I thought it mean from all domains linking to me. I didn't realize it meant 25 links from one of the domains to me. So if I engage in a lot of blogging to one particular site, and create 200 backlinks on that site, I don't see them all on OSE.

Gotcha!

Does it help staff if they get the thumbs up/good answer ? LOL

I am getting this at the bottom of Open Site Explorer. I have never seen this  message before.

"Why does my number of inbounds links listed not match my total links count? The listed number may be slightly different because we only show 25 links per domain (so that you see a variety). Additionally you have 18 links from no-indexed pages. Unfortunately, we can't get info for those links."

Did SEOMoz change something? If I look at a site, SEOMOZ's OSE doesn't show me all the links it can find anymore? It only shows 25 max???

Pointblankseo.com has a school for $60. It is literally the best money I have spent on SEO education. No, I don't own the site. It was recommended to me on this forum. To this day, I am thankful I did in fact take the school.

Do you already own an EMD? It's worth considering how good the EMD is and if the site owner is going to use PPC advertising. I can say with absolute certainty that people can talk about Google's crack down on EMD's all day to dissuade you; however, I own a lot of EMD's in the real estate industry. My click through rate is great with them.

If you aren't working for one of the big names in paint (sherwin williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr) then you are not going to get the "recognition" in the paid per click area. You can get recognition for an EMD though.

Just my two cents- It's good to consider all things. I personally operate a site that encompasses all of north west florida, but I do have domains that target neighborhoods that don't rank over my main domain. I simply have better returns on adwords with those domains.

Excellent answer!

How does this form of hosting differ from buying  a dedicated server? I am thinking about buying a server and reselling web space. I need to know more though.

I could just put clients web pages as subfolders to my domain. Does this make them "subdomains?" Are they actually part of my domain? How is it that you can go directly to that domain via it's name? Did they change some "c record" or something. BTW, I don't know what a c record is, I just keep seeing it as I am trying to learn LOL

I bought hosting for unlimited domains on Godaddy. It's not a dedicated server. It was just $85 a year. I have unlimited latency but a limited amount of "space."

I don't know a lot about hosting servers etc... My question is relatively simple.

When I go in GoDaddy to my hosting. There is a site that shows up as hosted, and all of the other sites show up under that site in it's directory. If you type the name of the site I bought the hosted package on, then type a forward slash and the name of one of the other sites on the hosting package, you will actually go to the other website.

What is this relationship? Is it normal? Does that make all of my websites subdomains of the main site (that I bought the hosting package on)? I don't fully comprehend how this effects everything...

I really need the ability to "search" social platforms for keywords. Hootsuite does this... Sadly, HootSuite is more concerned with HootSuite then with their clients. They put their little owl symbol and "via hootsuite" on every post they post for you. This is completely unacceptable.

I really need to search social platforms for keywords. This way I can engage people on social media that are talking about my client's products.

I would like a sofware that will private message groups of people and/or post on their walls

Are there any tools that SEO use to manage facebook postings etc...

Anything that adds extra statistics/tracking etc... to the process to report to clients?

Are sliders bad for SEO. I have a slider that uses HTML elements. The text in the slider is in the source code; however, the words are surround by unreadable code.

Give me an example of good SEO friendly sliders for wordpress. Who uses what and why?

If 30 websites IFRAM my website, is there any SEO advantage for me? Does google register time on site, metrics on how far in to my site the user goes?

I have a real estate site with listings (homes for sale). Agents want to use my listing feed on their sites via an iframe. The clients would be scrolling through my listings through an iframe.

SEO advantages for me?

Disadvantages for the real estate agent using my listings?

Excellent response.

I am committed to writing great content in my niche. I know when people read it, I will indeed get a lot of real shares/likes. My primary concern is making sure people read it through a social push. I've read about the Facebook "edge algo." I need comments and shares to make sure the blog I am sharing gets on people's news feed.

I can't get real shares/likes if I don't have traffic to the blog. I respect your response. Can you give me some advice on getting traffic outside of social media shares? I am not able to generate through organic rank yet. My site is on real estate sales/technology (seo/webdesign). Yes it is different.  Please advise

I value the way you don't dismiss the idea but instead explain that another activity would be more productive. Please continue to assist me!

When someone shares a facebook comment that contains a backlink to a page with a blog, then there is SEO benefit in the share, right? There is also the benefit of more exposure, right?

I mean if I operate 30 facebook account then I can share my content 30 times, isn't that a significant seo benefit? SEOMOZ says that seo signals are roughly 8% of SERPS and growing.

The things that google picks up on are shares/likes, right? Having 30 identities is 30 shares/likes when I post.

Please assist Robert

If I use multiple social media accounts to share-reshare on facebook, to increase the number of people that see my posts, do I need to somehow mask my IP from facebook/google?

I only have one personal facebook account right now. I have been reading and am speculating that most SEO's use several facebook accounts. I know you have to build a facebook account that looks/feels real, but do you have to mask your IP address somehow to stop facebook/google from realizing you are one in the same...

Open Site Explorer always reports only a few facebook likes. If I go to the business page of the site, it has 100+ likes. This seems to happen a lot. Is this a OSE issue or is there an issue with the site clearly being defined to google as a connected facebook account?

If OSE doesn't see the likes, will google? How can I fix?

I am getting duplicate content warnings on the SEOMOZ crawl. I don't know where the content is duplicated. Is there a site that will find duplicate content?

Is there a site/tool that will give me the exact google rank of a site for a specific keyword?

If I have a domain:     Example.com

I want this domain to rank for several keywords. I build a page on the domain called

Example.com/glasses

If I   SEO the page Example.com/glasses with backlinks etc... will that URL come up on google or will it simply bring Example.com up on the SERPS.

If I have three keywords, should I make a subpage for each page and SEO that page? Will that make the domain rank for all three keywords?

This is a common sense approach. There is an optimal %.

I can write endless content that has high value. My site targets local real estate. I could write a hundred pages with a high value to customers. I need to know the %. I could write 300 words at 6% phrase. I could write 1,000 words at 3% etc... No matter how much content I add, it will be high quality.

I appreciate the link to the tool; however, even the tool has to target a specific %. It has to have an objective concept in which it weighs by. I am certain it has a %.

A blog on SEOMOZ once said 6%. A local SEO told me that is high level spam.
