I can't think of another way. They were great a & solid increase in CTR. However, was a pain to get approved.

RE: URL Too Long vs. 301 Redirect
If the current url's are sef (search engine friendly), and not bugging you, leave as is. If the url path is not sef, just implement 301's to a sef url. URL's do have an impact on ctr's in organics, so it may be worth polishing them up. Good luck!

RE: Tracking converting telephone numbers on a site
A simpler way is just export your phone bill and match it up w/the customer's number in your crm or other system. If you are measuring attribution to campaign, you can just get a bunch of numbers and use them for that campaign (ie- flyer or whatever).
For best results, you will need to utilize a service that supports DNI (dynamic number insertion) and integrate it w/your crm. This will help provide source, medium, campaign, ltv and etc. but require much time to set up. These services also can connect w/GA. Some of these providers are callrail, dialogtech, convirza and etc.
Good luck!

RE: How to see SERP from another country?
Many ways to do this. I recommend getting a VPN/Proxy (I use Windscribe) to connect via IP address from US and use incognito mode. There are third-party services that can do it as well. Good luck!

RE: Having a Keyword in # is not that important in 2018, Do you agree?
Yep, I always try to figure out user's intent and then try to match: Search Query = Page Title in Serps = Relevant landing page's H1. Always works great for us!

RE: Where to buy high quality backlinks in 2018?
Do keyword/competitor research and create compelling content that is great link bait. Inbound links will organically occur if the content is useful. Repeat this many times and traffic will increase for these landing pages and push your DA up. It's difficult, and requires much times/resources. This is a better route than buying links that can get you hurt you in the future. Good luck!

RE: Is there any tool that can automatically generate backlinks for my website?
There are many tools that do this. However, I would suggest staying away from them. Spend that money on create valuable content for the users. There will be a better long-term roi and the risk of getting a algorithmic or manual action taken against your site is greatly minimized. Good luck!

RE: Purchasing an established domain name - Whats the right move?
If the site is down for a few days it's not an issue. Much more than that and it will be difficult to retain any of those rankings. Even if you took possession and build content that is contextually relevant from what was on the previous site, the DA will most likely steadily decline. Also, most likely the domain ownership will change. Google recognizes these patterns (site down for a prolonged period of time and change of domain ownership) and will discount any links. These are mechanism put in place to discourage this activity. I have heard success stories on doing this, but far and few between in last few years.

RE: Will canonical solve this?
Yes, and make sure to do a self-referencing canonical to the generic page as well.

RE: 301 and the base URL
If you are moving to another domain, the key is to do 301 redirects to the page that closely resembles the original. If none exists, you should 404. The page title should be the same or close to the same as the original (as long as you use best practices --see guides on Moz). Same goes for the meta description (although not directly a ranking factor). The url is extremely important and should be focus on what is on the page (Moz URL guide).

RE: Best practice to redirect all 404s?
Hey is it best practice to redirect all 404 pages. If the page that was taken down has no inbounds links or a relevant substitute landing page, 404's are fine.
For example if the 404 pages had 0 traffic and no links why would you need to redirect that page? If it has a contextual-relevant landing page, use a 301. Even it has no traffic, it may have organic rankings and/or traffic until it gets dropped from the serps.

RE: Do You Include Product Prices In Your Page Titles?
I prefer to avoid is simply because prices fluctuates and titles aren't updated in serp's in realtime. If a user sees an item with a price in a title and clicks to the landing page and see it more expensive, it will decrease goodwill toward your brand and increase bounce rates. Both not good.

RE: Generating Dynamic Meta Titles for SEO - Advice?
As Andy said, yes it's possible and many people are doing it (dynamic/static doesn't matter). I would use the generic Product | Supplier title template and keep it within the acceptable length. These title can get long very fast, so have a good logic and look at some of the competitors and see how their titles are structured. Good luck!

RE: Is there a way to host my website.com/BLOG URL PATH from a different host than my main website.com host?
The best way of doing it (I'm sure you already know) is on a subdomain. I believe there is a way to do it via a reverse proxy (although I have never done it). See this article. Good luck!

RE: COPIED CONTENT IS RANKING Above Orignal
Google doesn't always recognize original source consistently or accurately. However, they are getting better at spotting this. In this case, the scraped content may have been indexed sooner or another factor. First step is to attempt to contact the site owner. Most likely, this will not work. If it doesn't, file a DMCA. Also, implement a self-referral canonical tag and some internal links in the copy. Good luck!

RE: Question About Embargo'd Dates and SEO Timeliness
I would release the guide as soon as it's approved so can get indexed. Also, write verbiage on expected eta. Often times, these eta's are not made, so be broad: expected release q2 2018 or whatever. Good idea to create a sign-up form to collect emails so you can send off updates & firm release dates. Good luck!

RE: .com forward to .net version of domain name
Yes, you will need to add some lines in your .htaccess file on the .net version pointing to the.com version using 301's. Will you lose any organic positions? If done correctly, you will maintain your rankings (minor fluctuations typically will happen).
-
RE: .com forward to .net version of domain name
Did you want to use the .net or .com tld for your site? If you want to use .com as your primary, you just need to do 301's to .com and some server items. Your organics should (more or less) stay the same. Is that what you were asking?

RE: Content suggestions and topics
There isn't a right answer on how many times to add a kw/kw phrase (or topics) in your copy. If you cover the on-page factors William discussed above, just focus on the information the user intends to see and the keywords will naturally come out. Write for the user, not the robots. Good luck!
