Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I use shareasale.com to track the performance of affiliates. I think there is no best affiliate network out there. What works for you is the one for you.

yes

prweb.com is a decent pr site. There is a possibility that you can get a link from yahoo news and other big websites. Regarding SEO benefit, it will be temporary as your press release will get archived pretty quickly because of large volume of new press releases being published daily. You should also use HARO for branding purpose.

you may  be blocking the mozbot. Do you remember the exact date when it started happening? If yes then you can identify and revert the changes. Also check your robots.txt and .htaccess file for any abnormal changes during this time period.

I generally use heading of the landing page as the title tag. This makes the title tag relevant to the landing page and it also improves the CTR (provided your landing page handing is really Click worthy in the first place).  I use business name at the very end of the title tag and never at the very beginning no matter how big a brand is. I also don't repeat keywords because they don't help SEO wise and make the title tag looks spammy. i hope it helps.

such rankings drops are generally temporary. wait for few more days. How soon you will recover your rankings depends upon how frequently Google crawl and index your website.

Did you change the title tags of some of the pages knowingly or unknowingly? This could be one of the main reason. Other reasons can be accidental changes in the robots.txt file, htaccess file or incorrectly placed rel=canonical, meta noindex tags on certain pages. There is also a possibility that your website is hit by recent Penguin update or for over optimization. You need to check your website against all of these possibilities.

a).301 the domain to the main site if it has lot of back links from other relevant websites.

b) if you run a blog on the keyword rich domain than maintain the blog. add new relevant contents daily. Because of your domain name you wont face much problem in getting top 10 ranking for 'ekspert tips'

c) Register this domain if possible. You can use it as a landing page to acquire leads.

let the people redirect to non https versions. what is the problem here? They won't loose items from their basket when redirected from https to http version. And when they are 'checking out', the protocol will remain secure via SSL as pages which need to be https wont redirect to non https.

1. it can create duplicate content issues and not a good seo practice.

2. You can 301 redirect all the https versions to the http versions and apply meta robots noindex, follow to the handful of pages that need to be https.

Check all traffic sources report in your Google Analytics account and determine which traffic sources have experienced a significant drop in traffic in the last few days. If it is Google organic, then determine the keywords which are sending less traffic now. Always check your analytics whenever you experience a significant rise or drop in traffic.

There are no such rules. The frequency of crawling & indexing depends a lot on how frequently you post new contents on your website. If you post new contents several times a day, then Google may crawl & index your web pages within minutes.

Google will ignore this tag.

Hi Dean,

What course you pursue depends a lot on your professional goals and not on what you are being offered. If you want to pursue a career in SEO then their is no need to be Adwords certified (though basic knowledge of adwords always help). However analytics certification is definitely going to help you no matter whether you choose SEO or PPC, both or any internet marketing field.

phpb has major security issues and its back end is not as Good as vbulletin.

How you can get ROI from Google+ when the target audience is not there? I work in the fashion and medical industry and no one is on Google+, at least not in that numbers where i can think of running a social media marketing campaign. Google+ is predominantly occupied by the tech industry. Period.

pages which are hosted on web servers located in Australia.

Yes most probably. Incoming links play an important role in crawling and indexing of a web page.

At the end of each blog post/article remind your readers to follow you on twitter. This work wonders. Another cool way is to pay by tweets. If you provide a downloadable resource on your website, then make it available only after tweeting about it. Make sure that your twitter button recommends to follow you, if a visitors is not already following you. With the passage of time you will get many followers.

Google wont penalize you for duplicate web design. But it does look at the layout of a web page to check how much content is above the fold using page layout algorithm. So while designing a layout make sure that you have considerable amount of contents above the fold. Web design doesn't effect ranking position directly but indirectly it can effect because of high bounce rate and other user metrics.
