Welcome to the Q&A Forum

For main job categories:

We manage several career pages for several clients but the competition for the main keywords (even several long tail) is from big names like Indeed and similar job boards?
What would you recommend?

For job posts:

Since the job posts that our clients post are short lived (80% live less than a month) would it still be incorrect to purchase backlinks? or is it always a big no

Thanks for your help. And if a similar question has been asked I would appreciate if you could point me to it. I could not find one.

For one of our clients we are building a career site and putting it under a different URL and hosting service (mainly due to security concerns of hosting it under the same host and domain).

almost 100% of the incoming traffic to their current career section (which it is in a sub-folder) receives traffic for branded keywords (brand + job/career/employment), that is, there are no job position specific keywords.

The client is now worried that after moving the site, the inbound traffic to the main site will be severely affected as well as the SERP results.

My questions are, will the non-career related SERPs be affected? I don't see how will they be but I could be wrong

If no, how could we reassure her that the SEO to the main site wont be affected? are there any case studies of a similar case (splitting part of the website under a new URL and hosting service?)

Thank you for your help.

PS: this is my first post so please forgive me if this has been asked before. I could not find a good response.
