Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Here is a great infographic i love and reference.

The 2 month wait is nonsense. I agree.

I appreciate everyones feedback. We are going to push for the www version, the non-www option is a no go,

Thanks : ]

Here is the situation. Developer custom coded a magento commerce shop for a seo client and is having problems adding www to the URL without breaking the site. They wont be able to get this completed until a couple months down the road.

We are starting monthly SEO this June. Most directories and websites link to the www version of a site not the non www. What should I expect since we are ranking for the non-www and linking to the www version.

In web master tools i'm telling google to display the URL as www.

There is the solution. I will add it to my robots.txt and use a no index attribute..........That i think is the easiest.

It would be nice to continue this discussion to see what everyone else has to say : ]

If you do a directory i would look at some of the larger directories and get some ideas.

Yelp.com

citygrid.com

Dont spam your nav bar with keywords. Use about us, contact us and home as your nav links because users are used to seeing them. To add descriptive tags to your links use the title attribute on your href links

Here is a suggestion. I had the same issue with one of my clients. We added the client to some human edited directories and after about 30 days we were back on our rankings. You are going to need to browse this site for a list of Human Edited Directories and sort through them. These sites are not cheap, you will spend anywhere from 20-300 per submission. Most being permanent listings.A few annual and very few monthly.

How do you know you are getting penalized? Did you add those links and then drop in rankings. Send over a link to your site.

Ideally you want to keep your URL's short and to the point. Depending on the CMS you are using their could be an option to turn on friendly URL's.

If i create a mobile site for a client will google crawl that site for mobile results or will it effect my rankings.

My guess is no, just want to make sure.

Obviously code will be different.

Actively search for websites similar to your industry and create relationships and ask them if they are interested in the guest blogging approach!

In regards to SEO, i have not seen any type of ranking increases or benefits. In regards to sales, yes I have.

I have a client who sells dog collars and she started using pinterest to post pics of new collars, community images (of dogs wearing her collars) and just random images she is interested in.

We have seen a 30% ++  increase in revenue due to pinterest. Most probably because the majority of her clients are female.

I just picked up a lingerie store (ecommerce) and will do my best to remember and come back here with some data or results.

We have decided to create a few blogs and will eventually be linking to some of our clients. I have domain privacy and different class C addresses for each of my domains. But the name servers area all the same.

Ex: If we create an article for one client on all 5 blogs, will the name servers be a problem?

Does anyone know of any good quality website award/competition type site? Somewhere where we can submit our site and try to win an award?
