SuperlativB is correct in his statement. Use the tags to provide a description of the image and additional informative data. Remember to use best practices with img alt tags as website readers for visually impaired rely on alt tags for proper website experience.
I am taking over a new project that offers high price large products. I am trying to decide on the best way to do some SEO on the product titles, etc.
for best practices what do ya'll recommend
right now we're doing:
10' H x 10' W x 12' D product name blah blah blah
and other thoughts on how to be more efficient in this?
I think it's a little too soon to correlate SEO and the Biz pages for plus.google. That being said, the "magical +1 button" will influence seo at a social level. They're including the results in webmaster tools which shows a huge push from google to get SEO's and marketing teams to focus on the +1 aspects. Obviously +1 and the plus.google initiatives combined with SEO will create what I like to call SEOcial. Bridging the two practices into one seamless result for unique results for all users.
I would highly recommend checking webmaster tools to see real Keyword data if analytics is showing conflicting information.
Additionally, how often are you doing searches for this keyword on your own machine. are you going to an agnostic computer and doing the search. Your search settings may be affecting your personal searches.
Robert,
Great question.. we've seen a hit from our PRweb releases as well.. over the last few months i've been testing our releases on a variety of platforms including prweb, vocus (who owns prweb), and businesswire. So far, business wire has been our greatest success both in terms or reach, and views from the press release AND seo. The main issue is the cost associated with businesswire.. it is substantially more expensive, but exponentially better.. that being said, google could hit them with the next panda update.. nobody knows. This article may be of interest for you
recap: Warren Buffet owns businesswire and patented the seo strategy for press releases.
Definitely need to keep the 301 redirects in place if there are any backlinks going to your old URL structure. Depending on your website, there could be many websites linking to the OLD URL to this day. if you remove the 301's you will lose the juice and anyone who clicks those links would now get a 404 or just go the the top level of the new domain (depending on how you have it setup)
came to agree on this.. focus on differentiation sans the hannibal lector aspects of keywords.
I cant give a definitive answer for UK / Ireland domains, but in the US we had issues with dupe content on US / .ca domains. Google did see dupe content and penalize, so I would assume that the same issue would arise for you.
I wouldnt consider it "black hat" as long as you're providing valuable, rich content, that is agnostic to your brand. If you have any other companies in your industry that could also add content, you could really gain some traction and use it as a marketing tool for the industry with some leverage toward your brand.
That being said, there are much more qualified people who could probably clarify issues.. these are just my guestimates.
Now, the same IP address could create an issue.. you may want to host it on another server.
I can completely understand your opinion on the spam issue. I think in the particular case it wouldnt be regarded as spam (i may be wrong) Your solution is great as well. and the additional plural is great.
I think you provided a great example on describing your question. For this particular case, i think they did it absolutely correct. if the domain and branding are the same, use the domain.com and then use descriptors of the top content you want to focus on within the website. From there link or use high value assets to promote the content within the brand.
I dont know if a press release on an infographic is necessarily the best way to get it out there. I'd recommend having high value content on an inforgraphic that is accessible to a large demographic.. then use champions in your industry to help promote it via social or partner websites. obviously if you could get inbound links from clients sites that would help exposure and inbound seo. Think social when you're contemplating about how to gain exposure with the infographic. see if news sites in your industry would be interested in blogging or featuring it along with fb twitter and + promotion.
If you have business cards or flyers, you can also use QR codes, etc. to help distribute the infographic via print
I would keep and _tags for specific keywords, sentences, quotes, etc. However, if it is for purely cosmetic reasons your editor wants to bold the first sentences, it should be an easy CSS hack that will help the visual aspects of the content be seen. _
Remember to incorporate best practices into all your code and remember how the content is being crawled.
if you can get both twitter accounts, why not take them both and sit on the keyword twitter. It may be valuable in the future for industry leadership, etc. But for marketing and branding definitely go with your company name
Agree with William. WP is pretty much king of the castle right now in terms of CMS. I also recommend taking a look at joomla and drupal. I personally love WP and recommend it to everyone, but some projects really do require different strengths. I'm also a big fan of opensource.
both great tools. SEOmoz has a ton of tools as well.. if you setup campaigns, you can also add competitors and track their wins / fails as well.
A designer on my team who does freelance work on the side - based on complexity he would charge 300 - 600. If it was more complex the price would obviously increase. Dallas, TX estimate.
Id be curious to see what others would charge just to let him know if hes over or under priced.

either 301 redirect the link to new relevant content or update the dead links with proper URL's and quality content. 301 May be the must efficient if you're going to create new fresh content.
You may have to resubmit your site through webmaster tools AFTER fixing the forementioned issues.
