Welcome to the Q&A Forum

These are the numbers of words I have heard mentioned as being "good enough" for the categories of ecommerce pages. Even at a stretch 50 words maximum.

What are peoples opinions on the volume of words required ?

One worrying thought following a meeting with a friend in the Poker industry was when he told me he heard some rival companies tried to spam other sites with paid listings a few years ago ?

Does this happen all the time ? Also could it happen in other industries ?

I was worried when hearing this news and then thought about an SEO companies position in all of this.

Could an SEO company be falsely blamed for this sort of behaviour ? Is it is better to cover these things in contracts with customers.

When looking into this the problems I have considered is you could sacrifice your base listings against your natural listings. I think it would make sense to plan the keywords your pushing for base and naturals seperate if your struggling.

I do find if you do the usual SEO optimization Google base generally lists you well as a result.

Cool idea as its shopping might be to target phrases with "Buy"

why Choose Yoast over all in on ?

laurent I wish I had the knowledge to do this.

I would welcome your feedback on my blog - http://blog.onlinemediadirect.co.uk

It is listed on Google news so thats where I get most of the traffic.

For wordpress ? I have been using Photo dropper recently which allow copyright free images to be added to posts which helps things look a lot neater .

What seo related plugins do you use and non seo plugins ?

Sorry for the silly Shakespearean introduction but what are peoples opinions on leaving tag clouds to be indexed or no indexable by the search engines.

I tend to leave them non indexable at the moment. I use wordpress for blogging as do most others.

It does appear to be the factors of the number of domains . I am having a similar problem at the moment.

do you think social networking signals from the likes of twitter may help people ?

Hiya fellow SEO's I have been working on a site -

www.hplmotors.co.uk 

and I must say it has become difficult due to flaws with the content management system . We are speaking with the web site makers to be able to add a unique title, description to all pages.

I know what is wrong but I would also like some 2nd opinions on this and welcome any suggestions for the site.

A burnt out seo thanks

Ok question is how can we hire wikipedia writers I see the logic but realistically trying to find someone with a genuine experts view for each industry you work in within seo is blooming difficult What's your way around this ? Do you just do it yourself ?

when you mention getting link content . I presume the content would have to be a totally new story or expert view. Maybe you could PM me some examples as content has been up to now very much a commodity and I am finding it hard to see the major benefits of having someone that can create content at an expert levels.

We use several copy writers for regular blog posts and they do a great job. They rewrite breaking news stories and keep them as unique as possible to avoid duplicate content.

When it comes to writing text for pages on websites they dont half take there time.

I will need one to write a page of 2000 words at some point. Do you think that is a unfair task and what time limit would you look for on this.

I am thinking 7 days.

Whats the best ways of managing Copywriters to get the best out of them and making sure they keep content fresh.

hi magento I am moving towards using magento on a full time basis for ecommerce so I may well need you to improve a printer ink site we are having developed. please PM me.

It might be worth posting a link to your blog and we can take a look through the code and setup. It may be this introduction but it could of course just be a coincidence.

I do feel the benefits of links in blogrolls has weakened over the past 3 months since the change.

I Use Blog roll links all the time but recently they seem to be having a lower effect on listings. Is there a limit on Blog roll links you place on a blog.

Internal blog roll links and external blog roll links.

Also do you rename your blog roll to something such as popular links like we do ?

What are the other seo's opinions on linking the same keyword you are targeting lets take an example like Trampolines.

So we have a Online shop selling trampolines would you feel it a good or bad thing to link the keyword trampolines from the homepage to the homepage almost creating a loop.

Some SEO's say yes some say no ?

Hi no worries yeah I totally agree. The company that provides the CMS are making this possible soon.

I am still amazed this site is first page for mens skincare already.

My experience your main keyword must be the first keyword on the meta title or description.

Would you both go with that ?
