Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Correct me if I am wrong here

But this should be done according to how the client wants - with all lowercase. As that is how they are branding themselves and will be on all official documents, press releases, basically anything.

I heard that google places and other similar services will pick up citations and for citations to best impact things they need to be consistent all across the board. I worked for check n go at one point and t hey had a problem where it was coming in as Check in Go, Check n Go, Check 'n Go, etc etc and it was impacting them in ways.

So I would just do which ever way the client wants and keep it consistent.

I talk about this topic all the time at work. Its hard to fit some these keywords in naturally. For things like that which do not naturally flow I find using it in a header works. Also maybe a list instead of paragraph content (have that as well but leave your keyword out).

There are ways to make it fit into your page without making poorly read content.

I called them and got taken care of. Thanks for the info

I signed up for the free trial for Ontolo and was not impressed. On the morning of the final day of the trial they had already began to process a charge. I emailed support saying I was not interested, do not charge my card, and I then canceled my account.

A few days later they charged my card. They have not replied to my email and I do not see a number anywhere.

Anybody know how I can actually reach them?

Im trying to figure out the difference in this and guest blogging. If legit effort is put into the articles and pages when they are posted how is it any different than guest blogging?

I see that as well. With that in mind would links like this be worth my time? The domain authority is obviously really high but the page authority isnt. Could of course build links into the .edu page and help some but even then is it worth the effort here?

Can you provide us with a sample page you have gotten a link on?

http://www.getedubacklink.com/

I found this site and was curious if anybody knew if they were legit or quality links in any way.

My site has thousands of legit backlinks (none paid or even built through a service) so I was interested in building a greater diversity from domain extensions and thought edu links would be good. However most edu pages I find that allow any links are SPAMMED hard and not worth my time.

Thoughts

I think this will remove

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Yea I use the cufon replace thing. SEOMOZ picks it up as a h1 with the right text.

I would like to get more feedback on this though if anybody knows the effect of cufon on seo

I was thinking it may have to do with domain authority but was hoping to outrank despite that.

My site is hardly more than 2 years old while zelda dungeon is more than 10. Zelda informer is at least 5. And IGN is even older. So I have put a fairly good dent into a lot of their keywords and will hopefully be able to do even more over the years.

And what images for h tags are you referring to?

That seems to reflect a lot of what I am seeing. I see a lot of people wondering why other sites are put in and theirs are not.

As for the idea about it being only on the blog post page and not my main site - - - -

Most the other sites that have videos mentioned on the as seen on also just have it on a news update post like me. Often with no backlinks and all as well.

I even had a lot of videos embedded on one my more important pages with thousands of backlinks and was my most viewed page for 2 months and it still did not trigger youtube to properly reference my site.

I found my youtube social page

http://www.youtube.com/social/blog/legendzelda

And it seems to be picking me up just fine. It just does not show my site name when it does show the "as seen on" I am thinking it may be because of my domain name. Thoughts on that?

Thanks so much for the help

That is one the videos. As you can see it says "As seen on" but there is no link to the site it is seen on which is

http://legendzelda.net

The channel

http://www.youtube.com/user/TheHiddenTriforce?feature=watch

Then we have this video, done by one my competitors of much smaller size

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVsEoAFItME&blend=1&lr=1&ob=0

Its as seen on goes to another one my competitors who posted the video for him

I have this page that is doing alright for the phrase

"skyward sword walkthrough"

I used to be ranked number 2 but it has dropped

http://legendzelda.net/skyward-sword-walkthrough/

Sites like IGN are huge so I do not blame them for overpassing my rank but zelda informer I feel like I should be outranking at least.

I have a fairly good on page ranking grade using the seomoz tool.

And the OSE shows I have 11 domains linking - most with some kind of variation to that keyword. And I have actually built out more since then. Most the links are on highly relevant pages. I contacted a lot of gaming sites before this game was released and asked for a link back in exchange for a variety of things (shoutouts mostly - no paid links)

The page performed extremely well when Skyward Sword came out and I got hundreds of thousands of hits but as my rank is beginning to drop its a lot less (also can be attributed to hype dying down).

But any suggestions or glaring issues would be great. Link building is something I am always doing as well - mostly through guest blogging.

Well OSE shows that you have 0 links.

Is your site new? Its probably cause you have no links and you cannot get PR with no links.

Have you done anything to be blocked by Google?

I have a yt channel with almost 9000 subscribers. On it i post video game guides (partnered through machinima so its allowed) and then i embed the videos onto my site.

All my competitors do teh same but when they do so it will display a message saying "As seen on "site name" " with a link there.

For whatever reason my site link does not show

It says As seen on but no link. not even my site name. it just says "As seen on BLANK"

How can I fix this?

This is a tough one. It is still alive where you have the option to do so. However most people will not readily be sharing your stuff. I know Digg and Delicious have been taken over where the only way to get on the front page is to page for shares or to do digg for diggs and etc.

One of my largest competitors has one IM chat on gTalk set up specifically for digg for diggs with thousands of contacts.

You can submit your stuff but most likely you will not have much luck unless it is one amazing piece of content that everybody would just want to see.

Most likely because of the url changes. I have a site that I have updated the design on several times in the matter of months with no loss to rank. Before you even launched it, you should have been working on it locally, making sure all on page elements were done, that 301's were ready to be implemented, and much more.

They will not help you rank. But they help with your link diversity by having a wide range of links from multiple sources making it look a bit more natural. But then it could also hurt if the links are on totally irrelevant sites and look spammy with 200 other poorly posted blog comments.

Short answer you wasted your money and need to come up with a better strategy.

Generally speaking I never put the company name into the title tags unless its a well established popular name that everybody would recognize and click through based on reputation.

Otherwise I pick keywords that will drive traffic and help boost my rank.

If you insist on company name then i would do

Keyword | companyName
