Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Haha no worries, sounds like something I would do lol.

I do intend to get the Mozcon ones too at some point so it's still good to know

Now I'm really confused hehe... how does the Distilled site know that I'm a pro member here? Or are we not talking about buying from the Distilled store?

I still need a code for that though don't I?

It's okay Jane came to my rescue on FB and I think is going to ask one of you guys where I can get the code if there is one out there

Thanks

Scrap this, it's sorted

LoL, no that's not real SEO, it's fake SEO and won't do anything for you. It's the kind of stuff that worked years back when no-one else was doing it.

Aside from that, you won't get good SEO for those sorts of low costs anyway... I have a tantrum about it here if you're interested in knowing what to avoid

Do SEOmoz Pro members get the discount code for the SearchLove videos? I've looked on Pro perks but can't see anything

There is more covered (in terms of checking on-page factors) when using the external report tool than when using the actual campaign one... will the external features be added into the campaign one?

Dupe content is pretty severe, enough to cause your problems easily... try that software, I found a tonne of dupes on a large site with it that we'd have never found without it as it looks for chunks of text and consecutive words and phrases with the body text as well as sidebars, etc...

Ah, well spotted!!

Yeah sorry Jamie lol.

Yeah I should do that really. It's strange when it happens, it's not timing out or anything it logs me out when it happens. So I'm logged in, I post a comment and then it returns me to the page but logged out with my comment disappeared into thin air.

It must be something to do with sessions and all that I guess.

Wow yeah that is something special!! Choose a Distilled conference in the UK, come visit us across the pond!!

Yeah I know what you mean with the spacings, etc... it can be annoying... even more annoying is when you spend a while typing up a response, click "post reply" and then it disappears lol. Doesn't happen often thankfully but each time it does I tell myself to remember to copy/paste into notepad next time but I always forget.

I wouldn't worry about the spacings, etc... too much though mate, with answers that to go above and beyond the call of duty like that I'm sure people aren't too worried about paragraphing.

Jeez Ryan, no wonder you got Oracle with posts like that lol... congratulations on that by the way!! I don't suppose you can give a clue on what the "Something Really Special!" is?? haha

I guess you don't have to do the same with all pages. Just pick three that aren't performing that well, ensure they don't have extra link building over other pages so you know it won't affect the outcome too much across all three, and then make the on-site pages to see what happens with just those pages

Okay it looks to me like too many internal links off the homepage to spread your equity flow to the right internal pages.

You could also ensure the content of pages is higher in the source, make URL's more friendly by adding "watches" or something into the products as well as the brand name instead of "-c-24.htm", etc... and get another partial match keyphrase into the title tag instead of the same title tag ending for all products.

Hiya, yes Google has always penalized pages not just whole domains... but you're noticing it now due to Panda and its updates. As you said you're worried about duplicate content try this: http://www.dcfinder.com/ I only came across it the other day but it's pretty good for dupe detection

There could be something else causing it though, lots of people are seeing the same thing as yourself... difficult to pinpoint the issue sometimes though, especially without the website URL

Yeah I see a tonne of this stuff but to be honest I just always use my better judgement and assume it as a scam, closing the window. However, you're quite right... not all web users are used to seeing this stuff and having that reaction, therefore there is bound to be some people that through no fault of their own are naive enough to fall for the scam and end up getting screwed over in some way or another.

I guess there must be something in it for the people who do it though, or they wouldn't continue doing it... sort of like the emails I get from Nigeria asking for my bank details... some people must give them or they'd have stopped by now. Such a shame, but in time with the younger generations being so internet savi I assume it'll die out, or at least I hope so.

You need to visit kaushik.net. Avinash has got a bunch of really cool ways to measure mutli-channel for offline as well as online.

I would guess it's too complex for a person to be able to explain in an answer on here as it's something that needs comprehensive instructions really. Try this: http://www.webanalytics20.com/ and you'll be sorted I think he has some videos on YouTube that might help too.

Hehe I felt the need to go check out the pope's new site from that, nice amount of links as one would expect but some awful on-site... the whole thing is an image, and then tables instead of CSS on other pages... and no analytics

"Ask them if they ever hunt rabbits.

Then ask if they try to kill them by shooting straight at them or if they try to hit them with a ricochet.  :-)"

EGOL, it may get me into trouble but I swear to god I am actually going to do that... I'm going to ask them that exactly how you've said it because I just won't be able to resist it now lol.

Thanks... for the burst of laughter and for the answer I needed!

P.S. All Viewers: Before anybody points it out, I know god is meant to have a capital G but I'm an anti-theist and refuse to give it upper-case on principle (I get corrected on that purposeful typo a lot so thought I'd nip it in the bud this time).
