Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Bob,

I think YouTube channel works really well for E-Commerce sites.. I worked on the YouTube channel for an E-Commerce client and the results were outstanding. Though, we did not get the success at the start but after continuous experiments, this is what worked out for us,

1. Product Reviews (Once per week)
2. Testimonials from Customers (Once per week)
3. Educational videos from other sources (2 per week)

We used these videos in our every day to day content marketing activities, embed them in our guest posts and stuff like that.

Make sure to use recommended optimization techniques like Title, description, keywords, categories and thumbnails.

Hope this helps!

Ah yes Moz Local is must.. Thanks Mike for heads up

Hey,

Thanks for posting your question. Yes if you optimize for "Acupuncture Clinics in Gainesville Florida", it will get you the traction on related searches that you mentioned but not very much on the keywords like "Acupuncture" & "Acupuncture Clinics".

The thing is, if you're targeting "Acupuncture Clinics in Gainesville Florida" kind of keywords, you will be going to adopt local SEO and your content/page optimization and link building will be totally based for that. Plus, the competition level will be totally different on generic keywords.

Hope this helps!

Hey Hans,

I don't think IP factor matters that much.. If you have a proper citations of NAP, optimized local content, G+ local pages, links from local sources and other local listings; I don't think this IP factor gonna hurt you that much.

But if you're very much sure that all the things are perfect and you're still not climbing then you can think about the local IPs.

Hey Hans,

Yes, Search engines use the following signals to determine the location of your website:

• Hosting location (I think it's still matters)
• Domain tld (eg .co.uk for the UK and .com for the US)

It is important to check that the actual location of your servers is reflected in their IP address using a tool like this one. I remember once Matt Cutts discussed this topic "How should I serve different content based on user location?" here https://youtu.be/GFf1gwr6HJw

Hope this helps!

Hey Rajiv,

I don't think there is anything wrong with this approach as you're just updating your previously published post with some links and this is what all marketers suggested. Usually this happens,  when you intend to update your most/least traffic acquired pages.

I'd suggest you to work on these things as well,

1. Add an editor's note. Something like,
   "This post was originally published at "date" and has been revamped or updated with latest information"
2. Remove outdated content.
3. Update the facts according to latest studies.
4. Add more internal links if you have produced new relevant pages.
5. Update screenshots if required.

After all these changes, share your article again and I'm sure it will get more traffic/ exposure and look more natural.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

If you know your competitors sites are not optimized then I think it's a perfect opportunity for you to to beat them

What you're waiting for?? Go and outrank them *Wink

Hey Dae,

Thanks for posting your question. I don't think you site has penalized as it's showing in SERPs on your branded keyword and even the pages are indexed (https://www.google.com/search?biw=1280&bih=675&q=site%3Aonedaykorea.com&oq=site%3Aonedaykorea.com)

The possible problems your site is facing are:

1. You have very low backlinks as compare to your competitors. As per OSE you're just have 4 referring domains pointing links to your site.

2. You have some problems with the on-page SEO. For instance, this title of your homepage doesn't make any sense to me "Korea Tour  Seoul Tour Packages | ONEDAY KOREA | Korea tour packages. Seoul private tours and Korea private tours". Make it short, descriptive and natural.

3. Have you seen this decline in recent times? I mean, was your site performing well in past? If yes, I'd love to see the analytics shot.

4. Add some more optimized content on main pages of your website.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Hey Karom,

Without a doubt, Disqus is a great comment tool and it's really easy to integrate and manage. If you look at their FAQ section, they claims that, it is SEO friendly (https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1233994-common-questions-about-disqus).

In the past, Disqus was not friendly and you had to use Disqus API in order to get your comments indexed. But now, they have worked on this issue and it seems the comments are now easily indexed even if you're using the simple Disqus program.

For the prove, please look at the cached copy of this post:

$500 discount?? Are you serious? Well, this is called a great customer service.

Oh hold on, I just got a 45 days free trial account from your side, it means I can also avail this offer. That's insane

No Jonathan. SERoundTable is all safe. Check this post:

Hey Jonathan,

I do not find any kind of problem except the size of content which is not a huge problem for me. If you follow Barry Schwartz's SERoundTable blog, he also reports news and releases kind of posts which are generally low in word count.

Are you sure this "Phantom" update causes the traffic down? As far as I know, this update will mainly target to "How-TO" kind of low quality posts.

I'd suggest you to incorporate "Breadcrumbs" approach in managing your links for search engines as you can easily map your link structure. It will be something like this:

expat-city-and-island-guides >> battambang >> battambang-hotels-and-accommodation >>classy-hotel

As far as the current links are concerned, I don't think you need to insert city names in URL multiple times. Come up with descriptive but short URL for each page as you've already implemented the "Breadcrumbs", search engines will understand how your site is structured.

For more info about Breadcrumbs, check out this post from Ann Smarty:

Hey Lina,

I'd suggest you to take a look at these posts from Rand for better understanding,

https://moz.com/blog/15-seo-best-practices-for-structuring-urls
https://moz.com/blog/11-best-practices-for-urls

Honestly speaking, the long URLs doesn't bother search engines, they can process them without much trouble. The issue, instead, lies with usability and UX.
