Welcome to the Q&A Forum

There seem to be other post floating around to the same effect.

I predicted its death a year or two ago. It's always been intrusive, hard to use, and just looks plain terrible.

Thanks for the great reply.

Mobile conversions account for about 20% - which translates to some significant business for us.

Might it be worth building a mobile site in Word Press (a stripped down version of the desktop site) to utilise in the meantime?  Would it be negative to indexing/rankings if we were to have an interim Mobile site live until the responsive site is ready.

We've been caught a bit off guard with the upcoming Google mobile compliance issue and received the warnings in webmasters about fixing mobile usability issues.

It will still be some time before we can have the site re-coded as responsive. I have stumbled upon a converter tool (which turns any site into one that's mobile friendly) called bMobilized, which essentially turns your site into one that's mobile friendly.

Have you used bMobilized? Is it a safe idea to use this service temporarily until our new responsive site is ready in a few months? Do you have any suggestions for temporarily getting around the mobile compliance issue while our new responsive site is being built?

Thanks

Hello,

My client has just opened up two new smaller offices which I now need to have listed on Google Places as the primary office is. How is this done (using best practice)?

Thanks

Many thanks

thanks Mate,

What I am looking for in fact is Individual IP addresses of site visitors, if that's possible, with the intention of blocking some from access. That's why I need to know who (via their IP) is visiting my site and how often.

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations as to how I can track visitors to my site by IP address (which I need to find out which IP's are hitting my site repeatedly)?

Are their decent tools and or plugins available to do this?

thanks

We've been using AWR which also provides an overall Visibility metric (that combines presence in the three major engines). Seems to be decent but it is a paid tool.

Hi mate,

From what I remember (and done myself) it's a case of continually topping up the original list. Don't remove anything, just keep adding new ones and re-submitting.

thanks Egol and David,

Any suggestions as to how to get promoting the blog/s off the ground?

Some years ago I went for a job interview at a leading London content provider/online marketing agency. The conversation turned to how I'd learnt about SEO etc, I mentioned the sites/blogs I read regularly and the guy doing the interviewing, who was in quite a senior position, reckoned that a certain, highly-regarded SEO 'authority' site purposefully disseminated nonsense now and again to throw people off the scent. I have read everything SEO-related since then with a handful of salt.

We've been using AWR which also provides an overall Visibility metric (that combines presence in the three major engines). Seems to be decent but it is a paid tool.

Good day,

I'm really struggling to get a client to appear in the Google Local map snapshot (on the right of the SERPs), even when their company name is Googled. I've tried everything including getting the main Google Local account verified, had some reviews put up, all the required and relevant info has been completed, yet their location and the map never appear.

Any help out there as to how I can remedy this?

Thanks

Thanks mate,

We are going to set up a blog with the main site, so thanks for reassuring me on doing so as well. The Wordpress was, honestly, intended to garner links (within carefully considered content/blogs, though) from other relevant sites. Perhaps a tactic to have a think on then for me.

Your advice on being cautious with contributors has rung true already - pushy people, who, having had a look at what they produce, are pretty rubbish.

That's great Adam,

Thanks so much for taking the time elaborate like this.

How the black-on-black linking in the footer is working for this bunch is incredible - http://www.websitedesign-bristol.co.uk/

I suppose now that the legitimate tactics aren't working for you (and others, like me), you'll have to fork out more on Google's AdWords service.
