Hi,
I suspect it's a redirection problem here. When I'm trying to get the cached copy of this page http://www.niyati.sg/mobile-app-cost.htm, it's showing this to me http://www.niyati.sg/web-design-cost.htm
Check yourself here.
Just fix this redirection and your pages will start indexing.
Thanks,
Hi,
In my experience, DNN is better. Though we cannot compare it with Wordpress but in comparison with other .net CMS I will give an upper edge to it because of its SEO friendliness options, interface, plugins and technical support.

Hey Tyler,

Hope this will help!

Hey Edward,
It's always a pleasure to answer your questions 
I'll try my best to give you the satisfactory answer this time again
Edward, this practice is usually adopted for the readers and traffic.. Yes, for the readers & traffic..
Let's suppose, if I run a fitness blog and have quite decent readership. I notice that the bodybuilding.com recently featured the interview of Jay Cutler, I would love to re-publish that interview again on mine for my readers. I know, there are high chances that people have already been read about it but as you know every site has different readership belongs to entirely different geography. It would be a great read for my audience as they might have missed to read at the original place.
Plus, it will also help my blog to get rank on "Jay Cutler interviews" related queries. I know, I'll be giving away a link from my site but this one outgoing link can reap lots of benefits in terms of traffic, increasing readership, building connections with original sources etc.
Hope this helps!

Hey Jawahar,
Yes, it's a good practice to boost the old pages again and help the users to navigate more pages of your website. I would recommend the following things:

Hey Charles,
It's always better to get the links on the relevant pages. I usually follow this approach,
Suppose you have a site Abc.com and you keywords are "android app development", "iPhone app development", "mobile app development companies". Now in this case, my preference would be to have different pages for "android app development" & "iPhone app development" and all the related links should come on these pages. But if I get the opportunity to play on generic keywords or ""mobile app development companies"" my preference would be the home page.
The logic is simple, get the links on the best and relevant pages even if it's a blog page so your referral visitor can stay on your page. Even from the core SEO perspective, it's good to have links to the inner pages to boost their authority.
Hope this helps!

Hello Edward,
I'm glad my response answered your question.
So for finding influencers, bloggers or people who are sharing about your industry you can utilize these three super awesome tools,
These tools will gives you the information about their social accounts. All you have to do is to follow them and start interacting. Don't pitch you content in first place, try to build some trust and then ask for the email details.
For the PR, I think it's not a good idea to issue press release for every new content you publish. But yes, if it is something very exceptional, you can consider.
Umar
Hey Luke,
You're right. The same URL principle implies on the images URL. And, I really do not think putting images in subdomains is a very good idea. You also need to avoid the typical images names like DSC4566.jpg rather you should go with something meaningful that contains your keywords like /images/Burj-Khalifa-largest-building-world.jpg ----- (I am in Dubai these days :p)
Hope this helps!

Hey Adnan,
I do not think you need to worry about in terms of "link building" with this. But, if you're dealing with duplicate content issues then it's advisable to go with the preferred URL that google is showing or implement a redirection.

Hey Edward,
I wouldn't call it your ignorance, it's a very good question indeed.
Blogging outreach is one of the technique of content marketing. Imagine this scenario, after spending days you finally produce something very exceptional that no one has written about and you published it with full of excitement hoping to get the appreciation and shares. But, it's all wasted because no one knows about you and didn't notice your tweet.
Most of the time, you cannot be able to create that "ideal traction" either because your brand is new, your social following is low and no one noticed that you shared something mind-blowing or only your employees and friends are in your mailing list.
This is where the concept of "Outreaching" applies i.e. to get the list of people, influencers and bloggers to let them aware of your content by emailing them, pitching them on social media etc.
The whole purpose of this practice is to increase the reach of your content so that people started to recognise you.
Hope this helps!

Hey Deedra,
Google doesn't want content to be long.. It just wants fresh, unique and meaningful content.
As far as the content length is concerned, I think it depends on the industry mainly. Like in Finance and legal industries, the average content length is around 1000+ words because of the need. If you want someone to read your content is because you're offering something that they need. If you can sum up all your thoughts and findings in less content with the aid of graphics and videos, go ahead! You don't need to write 2000 words.
As per the SEO perspective, it's been observed that people most likely link long posts as they reflects the in-depthness and authority.
By the way, you cannot compare 140 words tweet with blogs

I agree what Oleg has suggested. You can use http://schema-creator.org/ for creating the code.

Hey Josh,
The best solution in that case would be to go with two separate URLs & Titles; one for you marketing page/form and the other one for your webinars and white-papers.
Check out Wordstream's approach, they have two separate URLs:
For form:
http://marketing.wordstream.com/seo-white-paper.html
For white paper:
http://marketing.wordstream.com/white-paper-download-seo-best-practices.html?aliId=126861802 Hope this helps!

For the free version Yoast is indeed a best option but if you are going for a paid one I think Premium SEO Pack would be better.
Do check out this review of premium SEO pack:

Thanks,
Yes you can.. If "Vashikaran specialist" is you main page and content, you can put the rel tag to the other pages.. But, it's better to come up with fresh content on the other pages.
Honestly speaking, I didn't try Scrapebox for this purpose but I heard that the results are not very accurate.
I think you should go with URL Profiler if you're gonna need it on regular basis.
Let's see what other suggests.
