Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi all

Does anyone have any advice on how to conduct a successful gaps and opps audit for your SEO strategy in light of "not provided"? I've been a big fan of Laura Lippay's content audit in finding Gaps and Opps: http://moz.com/blog/finding-gaps-and-opportunities-step-3-of-the-8step-seo-strategy

However I'm keen to understand alternatives to run a successful audit in finding opportunities

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Simon

Excellent - many thanks for the advice!

Hi all,

for a website that has muiltiple domains for the same company (e.g. different location based salon websites) is it advisable to create multiple google+ pages for each individual website or just have the one google+ account?

Thanks

Hi,

Juicy link finder was really handy to help uncover websites, what is the alternative tool/s people would recommend?

Thanks

Hi

I'm looking for ‘location search’ functionality to cover an extensive range of global locations  to help increase the visibility

I have been looking  to use Google Places functionality, which has an extremely broad list of locations

Would anyone have any experience in using Google places to power their websites internal search as well as if there is a cost to integrate it and other factors to be aware of?

Thanks

Simon

You could always sign up to SEOMOz and run their reports? Like wise Majestic SEO - they provide great link building profile reports that are easy to shar

Hi Adam

Here are a list of keyword tools/techniques I use for our keyword research

Google trends - monitor seasonal trends for certain search terms throughout the year

Competition sites - check out your competitors within your sector/subject areas - It's amazing how many large sites still incorporate defined keywords that appear in the meta keywords section of the site!

Hitwise - If you have enough luck/big enough budget to access this tool - this can unearth a goldmine of keywords to target as well as their clickstream report of what keywords/search terms were used before and after leaving your site

Google insights - provides alternative keywords to consider based on the keywords you add

Open Site Explorer - enter your competitor site and run an anchor text report - what key terms are included

Competitor blog sites - analyse your competitor blog sites - usually packed full of keywords they are trying to rank for that is used to point back to their main site

Analytics - Your existing analytics tool should provide you with a vast range of search terms to commence new campaigns and unearth long tail keywords, also check out your google webmaster tools

Hi all, I am looking to find an actionable, easy to use, link building template to be used by myself as well as across office/clients. Key subject areas for link building have been defined but I am keen to apply a template to past and future link building opportunities as I build on the link building tactics I have a number of link building targets e.g. form competitor analysis, existing links from websites and looking to reach out to amend their anchor text, prospect websites Does anyone have a good insight into categorising the different link building targets by sector? Many thanks Simon

Great - thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated

Hi all

Is there a tool available to quickly detemrine nofollow from follow sites as part of a link building campaign? At the moment I am just referring to the source codes of each identified site

Cheers

hi all,

I really loved using the juicy link finder for my link building activity, but I've just noticed it is now no longet available redirecting me to the tools page when clicking on: www.seomoz.org/link-finder

Can anyone recommend a tool i can use that offers exactly the same information or alternative tools out there?

Essentially I just need to understand what/which websites to target based on entering a keyword

Thanks!

Simon

Brilliant, thanks guys - much appreciated

Simon

Thanks Sha

Any good basic sites/forums you'd recommend?

I've been working in digital marketing for a few years and over the past 2, I've concentrated on getting my head around (or trying to!) the world of SEO.

Everything from reading this forum, listening to webinars and re-reading the beginners guide to SEO has provided me with the confidence to put in actionable insights into my work such as on page optimisation, keyword research, link build and passing this knowledge onto co-workers

However, one area I am beginning to realise is just as important is having the ability to code for yourself.

Can anyone out there point me in the right direction of where to start, what I program I should concentrate on? and what I shuld focus my energies on?

Any help would be great

Simon

I notice the Juicy link finder is going to be phased out from this September. What other SEOMoz tool offers the same results that you would recommend and when in September will this be phased out?

Thanks!

Simon

Hi Steven

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I would be very keen to read up on your powerpoint slides - will you be able to post the slides on seomoz/blog?

Good luck with the pres!

Simon

Hi all,

I have been working in online marketing for a while, predominantly working on the affiliate marketing and business development side. Over the last year I have decided to focus my energies on getting to understand SEO and have picked up some actionable tips and strategies to put together an SEO strategy for the business I work for whilst at the same time broadening my skillset in online marketing.

I would like to think I now have a good understanding on key areas of the SEO framework such as keyword research, on page optimisation and link building and look to put my learinings into practise as well as continue to play around through my personal blog

An area that I see as more and more important so to get a full understanding is the technical side, getting a decent understanding on the learnings of HTML and CSS and putting this into practise. Can anyone recommend a detailed tutorial, powerpoint that provides insights and learnings on how to best understand this side of SEO?

Thanks

Simon
