Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have a ton of Tumblr blogs but their links don't show in any of the tools. I'm hoping that the footer and header links count for something, and that Moz and the other tools just don't spider them because in general it's not worth it.

One of my tumblr blogs has a page authority of 39, so it's nice to think of that juice floating around my web properties, but I may be wishful thinking.

James,

Thank you so much!  That is what I suspect is the case too. A handful of highly relevant, quality links is better than hundreds of junky affiliate links.  And there will be no advertisement of the network.

I have a client that I help with both SEO and marketing. I have thought about approaching 5-10 niche appropriate bloggers to join a custom affiliate network. I'd like to gain both sales and backlinks. I know it's gray, but do you have any advice?

Nope. I don't have cookies blocked. I also have no moz data in the toolbar. ;(

Example: if you're doing SEO, you'll use Open Site Explorer and Rank Tracker from Moz every day.  Generate reports that track your progress. You'll read several websites and participate in some forums.  You can go from beginner to intermediate in a short while with this system.

I'd like to find a system that's works similarly for PPC.

I primarily do SEO and social, but I have a client who wants to spend for app installs in a hurry.  I need some help.  I want to start with a $500 Google and a $500 Twitter spend this month, but I'm struggling with the Adwords set up and once that's figured out, I need a system.  We plan to spend $1000 or more per month for 6 months. Can anyone suggest a solution?

That's a great idea Dan. I could give them a slide presentation and let them post it on their blog.

I'm not afraid, it's really not in my personality. But, on occasion, I've found that something might have turned out better with a touch of caution. Thought I'd ask, just in case.

I just installed the pro version of https://reviewsonmywebsite.com/ and I think it looks great!

I do a lot of public speaking and normally upload my slides somewhere so people can access later. With most sites I can upload to Slideshare or similar, then embed into my own site.  I do it for audience convenience, but it would be swell to get an SEO bump.

I am about to launch an infographic campaign for a client. The infographic turned out fantastic, and I believe it's going to be very popular with dog bloggers.

Is there anything I need to worry about?  I expect a lot of backlinks from embeds.

Once it launches, I'll share it here so you can see how fabulous it turned out.

Content about decorating doesn't work? What are you talking about - people spend tons of dollars purchasing home decorating magazines and books. Plus, there are blogs and social media people who focus on the domestic life.

Just last week one of my friends shared on Facebook a video of how to fold a fitted sheet.

I'd think about influencer marketing.  Hire some popular people to do some videos for you. Have a contest and award a great cash prize to the person with the best sleep tips.  Be creative.  I can introduce you to some Mom Bloggers if you'd like.

I have a client who is very concerned about reputation management ... Google his name and some very provocative photos show up in Google Images.  There are a couple of semi-famous people who share his name, and my plan is to backlink their images that currently rank positions 50 - 100 to try and push them up.

Should I backlink the page that contains the image or the image itself?

Any other recommendations?

Thanks for your quick response.

I'm very excited to have received my promotion into the Moz Specialist category (yea me!) , but I've discovered that I have another Moz profile dating back to 2011. Can they be merged together?

Instead of adding a bunch of no value links to your home page, which might be seen as black hat by Google, could you no-index the extra pages? It's not as if the page has any authority to distribute.

I have had no problem with subdomains and SEO. I have ranked several somewhat difficult keywords and believe that it was easier using the subdomain. I didn't A/B test, so I have no proof, but I am pleased with the result.

For user experience, I think a subdomain is significantly better. The product-geography.com domain looks very spammy to me and doesn't carry the brand's credibility. With the subdomain, I'm certain it's the official site.

IMO, that is the worst part of being in SEO/Social Media. There are so many providers that do a less than lousy job for their clients: making things worse, rather than better.

And even fewer people who do a good job with local.

I use an app created by some of the super smart local SEO guys, called Get Five Stars. It lets you direct your client to whatever review sites are the most beneficial for you.

I completely get it. It's frustrating. Though, I get lots of leads from Yelp because of the time I've invested in making it work for me, so I find the frustration mainly worthwhile.

I teach Yelp classes for business here in Sacramento. I tell them "Yelp is like a report card, you're getting a grade whether you like it or not. If you want an A+, you have to do the Extra Credit work."
