Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If you want to see if something is happening in your niche. For example I got a huge surge in my traffic after the cinnamon challenge. I had no Idea why until it was already starting to die out. I would suggest setting up Google Alerts for your niche keywords. Google will scan for new posts and webpages with those keywords. So if your keywords hit the news you will be the first to know. -Great answer Zeph

I would say it is your layout. You may want to bring some text closer to the top that would captivate the visitor to keep reading and clicking around.

Is the sitemap submitted?

Like said early content is very important.

You may know this but don't get impatient and try and speed things up by doing anything blackhat.

I haven't launched a new site with a new domain so I can only say that it it me about 3 months to get back to normal after a redesigned site launch. Had to do some post launch clean up

We use the BBB, personally I love it. Spending $400.00 is a small price for more trust on a site.

Screaming Frog Spider is one that works well.

Can you have them switch the email in which the account is attached? Example would be have them create a email for you like marketing@example.com?

Interesting on the link building. Do you guest post on blogs and forums? A lot of my products get in the news because of illegal uses of it LOL

Like Peter mentioned you have a lot of text. It is up to you but you may want to offer something free like a whitepaper.

I like your page http://bobweikelseo.com/  highlighting all your services. I like the call to action from that page.

Good Luck

Odesk, and freelance.com are pretty good to try them before you buy them. With so many people claiming to be good SEO's, may be great at a resume or an interview but cannot fulfill your demands. Quora is a place to post this question as well

Are you trying to see the way the SERP appears or just the rank of some keywords? If it is just keywords I would recommend rank checker on Fire fox. It also allows you to export to a CSV so you can monitor your progress. If it is how the your product looks in a SERP you can use Google Custom Search to see exactly how it looks on Google.

I would say it does effect it

I would say spelling errors would effect time on site which would effect rankings. Other problems will effect the serps which may look spammy to potential readers.

These errors are easy to fix and the efforts would be easy to get ROI.

I would put them on but in a place that doesn't distract your visitor. A lot of sites put them in the footer. You can always run test to determine best placement.

I am wondering if SEOMoz would consider adding a Question Topic called Webmasters. I see many questions that require answers from webmasters and I have some questions to ask that would require a webmaster to answer. Would it be better to find the answers on another platform? If the question is yes any recommendations on which forums are good for these types of questions?

I wouldn't consider myself a guru but here is my two cents

Plastic Manufacturing Show pictures of people using the products (toys, show kids playing)

Industrial Laundry: Nice scenic hospital picture and hotels that use the service or if it is uniforms show workers in hard working conditions

Tractor Trailer Wholesale: !8 wheelers rolling down the highway with interesting statistics on the trucking industry

Copper Mining Equipment: Show the mining equipment and some of the specifications on mining.

I would check your DA of where the links are pointing from if it is higher than your DA they are probably not the problem. If you go through WMT like EGOL suggested. If it were me I would get a second opinion and quote from another SEO or perhaps a webmaster.

I would try rankchecker it spiders out to find your actual rank. Or Google the keywords and find your sites current rank. I believe SeoMoz does an update kind of like Semrush but not positive.

Very well written Brian. We find customers really want to put more eyes on their questions than just sending an email to whomever manages the info@example.com.

We have found that pictures are very valuable in creating a Buzz for customers to comment and hopefully end up on the site.

Assigning a dollar amount is very difficult. In our case if you use the metric Social it would appear we are wasting time with Facebook. Time on site generally increases with a good post on Facebook

Neil has a good point. Also work with a GOOD webmaster if you are not totally comfortable changing domain servers. I had a mess last year when my less than qualified IT department didn't pay attention to 301s. Good luck! Google webmastertools has some helpful advice for this.

I like to test new title tags all the time. Matt had a great answer being specific helps. I usually try title tag tests on some lower pages as a safe bet. When you can narrow down the search you generally rank better. For example I sell products that are cooking related so in the title tag I include a popular use term in the tag. Avocados are used in guacamole so I put it in the tag soon I was ranking 2-3 for months. When I took it out the rank slipped to six. Hope I helped and good luck

I hope Seomoz adds the Webmaster catagory soon like you posted on my question a few days ago 

Does the TTL have anything to do with it not working yet? I had a big issue with TTL and do not want you to have to go through what I did.

Have a great day otherwise
