Ok this is interesting… I had a client who has several domains like around 12 redirecting to the main website (different URLs) and I didn’t see any problem with that…

40 seems a BIG number to me and it can show a red flag to Google… keeping the Mikes idea in mind why not divide the domains…

Out of 40 domains let’s say use 5 for industry related blog and update them one a month with some quick link building on it.

Other 3 as QnA websites… mostly it will be a UGC data so it won’t increase too much of your work…

Redirect 5 websites on different URLs of the main website….

Use the next 2 domains on a review website… again a UGC so not much work in a long term…

(use c class IPs)

… and the same way divide the domain pointing from one website to different others and optimize them to get traffic from them as well…. Why I think it will be interesting is because it will take you to the safe place and at the same time you will be opening several different channels to attract qualified and targeted traffic to the website…

I Agree with Keri that your posts should be high quality and focused to provide information to user instead of getting a link from the desired anchor text!

To me it’s a test and play process… test this and see what happen… if I will be at your place and nothing happened from it I would consider building some good links to PDF and pass an internal link to the targeted page… #Athought

Increasing your own social value though Guest Blogging is possible but it’s sounds like a BIG plan to me… you should write for known industry blogs and be active on social medias, build new connections, share others stuff and slowly and gradually you will see your social value will increase… (obviously if you want to stay natural while increasing your social value.)

I do agree with Neil to a higher extent but as far as the SEO bubble is concern there are few countable blogs I know that offer byline at the top…and to be really honest the DA of the domains are not really impressive (in most cases not all)

Guest Blogging words well for me because the KPIs were different for me… I am compiling a detailed post that will be live in the next week that features everything that Guest Blogging offer… it really depends what you are looking for from your Guest Blogging activity…

If SERP rankings are your ultimate concern… I believe targeting the good blogs and write solid posts can really help you achieve your target.

I cannot come up with the exact problem unless the case is at the front of me but consider adding and internal link from PDF to a targeted URL (may be with an anchor text) and see the impact!

Ok it seems like you are looking Guest Posting from the link angle only…

1. 1. Anchor in Body is better than Byline

This is true but not only because of the juice transfer ratio but because of the fact that guest posts are read by real people so while reading there are more chances that they will go though that link as well and might consider linking to it… so in a way there are chances to convert that one link in to multiple….

1. 2. 2 Links in the same URL?

Yes Google will count the 1^st one if Blog Post will target 2 links point the same URL.

1. 3. Duplicate Byline

Honestly I have used the duplicate bylines and I personally don’t think it has a significant impact on links that are pointing out to your desired location… link juice will still be passed!

Nops, no need to include the no index tag as adding canonical is an indication to Google that what are the original pages that search engine need to index and crawl so al other pages then category pages will be crawled automatically.

Thanks Ryan, the reason i suggest Google Webmaster tool for extracting the link profile is because its a good point to start! then yes one can go deep in to links using other software...

I can see where you are coming from… and to be honest this is not what I would prefer if I would be at your place.

Making keyword based pages is not really a good idea and it looks like you have build your website more for search engine and less for your users…

If I would be at your place I would have build services pages and tell my users in what areas I offer my services...

In order to gain top rankings from different location I would prefer the following strategy:

• Local Listings
• Yellow Pages and Aggregators
• Blog that will be updated frequently
• Social Medias

and I would have craft my link building activity that way that it allow me to gain top rankings and links from desired locations.

Kevin this could be the quality of links pointing to your website... if the quality of links is bad then it will eventually hurt your website as well... (happened with one of the client i have)

Kavin not to panic and planning a solid strategy is the real key to success…

If you are sure its Penguin… then get in to your link profile (best is to extract the link profile from Google Webmaster tool). Now when you have your link profile (may be in a csv) get in to it and figure out how many links are coming from your own network or network of websites… even more how many link pointing to your website that are already hit by penguin…

Clean your link profile and submit the reconsideration request to Google.

IT is good to build some good high authority links from different resources while removing links.

Removing links from 3^rd party website is sometime difficult so in order to be successful one have to use every possible way to request the website to remove a link i.e phone, email and others.

You won’t be penalized for using someone else’s content on your website but it is always ethical to let people know about the original resource of content may be in the form of a link at the end of the post.

Ok I might sound completely stupid here as I never come across this case before but here is my hypothesis….

While searching for a keyword or URL you another field (may be a checkbox) that represents the category of search.

So, ones the new URL will generate it will come under the specific category automatically.

Customize the category pages so that they look different from each other.

Index the category pages and add canonical tag on any new generated URL of the category page. For example if the new page generates like www.yourwebsite.com/movies/ice-age -3/ this page should have the canonical tag to http://www.yourwebsite.com/movies/

Why?

Creating category pages will allow you more unique pages to get indexed in SERPs without the duplicate content issue. Adding canonical tag on all other URLs will tell category pages are the real pages that Google should consider.

This might help you cater more chances to earn more search traffic from Google.

**This is my assumption what I think should work!

Directly coming out with the name is quite difficult for anyone as SEO is kind of a service which is strategically different for almost every business SEOs work with, but here are some key indicators of an ethical SEO company they might possibly do your job.

1. Ethical SEO agencies love to educate their clients and potential customers and there is always a good level of transparency between the client and the customers.
2. Ethical SEO Company might not do BIG promises but will explain why they won’t be able to achieve sky rocket traffic in the next 3 months.
3. Ethical SEO Company will be able to answer your quires and clear the misunderstanding you might have as a business owner about SEO and digital marketing.
4. Ethical SEO agencies are usually open on social media (or at least there business owners) so see how open they are on social medias.

If the recommended list of SEOmoz is expensive for you, I would highly recommend you to check their list of top/active users http://www.seomoz.org/users you might find a consultant under your budget within top 100 or less may be.

Finding a consultant from another country can be a good idea because they can be less expensive for you due to currency difference.

Hope this helps!

What is H1?

Go to the page, right click between the page and click ‘view page source’ on other window will open the code page… on the code page press ‘ctrl+F’ and search ‘

’… text between

and

is considered to be the tag H1.

How to fix two H1s?

I suppose you are using the common HTML… so download the page, open it in the Macromedia Dreamweaver or notepad. And remove the H1 which you think its less important…save and upload the files again.

Most of the times this hurts the CSS so I would recommend you to consult your designer or developer to do this job for you.

I do agree with Ryan… It’s more about what you are asking to yourself while buying the domain. I mean if you are paying more than usual for a domain name (decent one) then you should know whether it is going to help my business grow? Not only from the SEO point of view but from branding point of view that will it leaves a positive impact to your targeted audience? And more related questions…

To be honest never seriously used GroupHigh.com but after looking at the website and reading about me… it seems promising which is great indeed.

As far as another platform similar to myblogguest.com, I usually use Bloggers Link Up as an alternate to MyBlogGuest.com. It is slightly different but worth using!

To be very honest if you have submitted an xml sitemap you can submit use it for Bing as well though Bing tool box but I don’t think this activity will help or stop you from ranking in Bing.

Bing crawlers will eventually find your website and will crawl and index it… so letting them know that you exist is great but they will catch you and index you (sooner or later)…

Your question got no specifications but if the case is that you are indexed but not ranking then rules are almost more or less same as it is for Google… build Good content attract valuable links, repeat the process and be a winner.

If you have any specific case please add more details to your question!

Sounds EPIC! but in my opinion you at least have to share your niche and goals to answer your goals... because:

• There are pre made codes for social networking sites already available... are you going to go with that and alter as per your requirements...
• What special feature are you going to make public..
• Will it be mobile friendly?

these are few questions.. and on basis of that one will be able to answer about the total players in the team what should be their skill set and all!
