Welcome to the Q&A Forum

By the way, I wanted to share this link with you.

I get a lot of my blog contacts from this site

Invalid code has a small effect on ranking. However, if the invalid code causes usability issues such as load time and or causes a high bounce rate then it can lower your rankings and of course cut back on conversions.

Some of it is a higher priority than others. I would say defo remove the meta keywords.

Combine JS pages. The tables while out of date is not a big issue.

If you have the time and resources then yes it should be cleaned up. If not then clean up major problems

Can you provide a link to one of these contest? I am curious to see what exactly you mean. There are some legitimate contests that can build links and others that are probably gray or black hat.

Or you can try

 <code><iframe< span="">src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://example.com/mypdf.pdf&embedded=true"  style="width:718px;  height:700px;"  frameborder="0"></iframe<></code>

You can do that or embed it on your page.

I do a ton of guest blogging. Most of my experiences with it is positive. I is a slow process to write unique content and to find a high quality site to post it on but the links are great and help a lot.

Some negatives - some blog owners will be extremely picky and send back for tons of revisions, but that does not happen often. Also have some sites that shut down after you write for them.

I normally have 1 or 2 links per article. Maybe one in context (if applicable) and one in a bio line. I will generally do 2 links if I can get it to work for 2 different sites of a similar niche.

I do not check PR but I do check domain authority and backlinks to make sure its a high quality site.

I looked at the directory maybe a month ago and a lot of the links were not working or were very expensive which may be why there was so many thumb downs. A cost column would be helpful

You should look into the seomoz page grader tool. You have several on page optimization errors and poor keyword targeting on page. The tool will give you a report with areas you need to fix and advice on how to do so

I reported one company who made  hundreds of physical listings for having store locations when it was just an internet site with no store. Took a while but about 2 months after I reported them I got an email from Google saying they had looked into the report and thanking me.

Nailed it. I hate content spinning and software to do it.

The last company I worked for (ch e ck n Go) was developing a huge script that would rip thousands of pages of content, replace various words with theirs, put in their links, and mass publish hundreds to thousands of these pages a day.

Very unethical and very pathetic.

Write high quality content and do the work.

As somebody who knows a bit about seo when I see a site ranking with a multi keyword hyphen domain I normally click the next result. Exact match hypen domains are usually made  by people who are trying to out rank their competitors and know that Google gives some weight for keywords in the domain.

There is buzz going around that less emphasis is going to be placed on domains like this in the future but who knows how long. Either way, in my opinion it looks spammy and unprofessional however you will probably have no problem ranking it

Don't think you were hit by panda. That is more so for scraping and content issues. Are you doing any of that? And keyword placement in titles will not have a big impact like that on its own.

Your main page title tag has 4 keywords in there which could be causing some confusion on what the page is about. Try to target only 1 or 2 per page and target other words on other pages. On just a quick look your site does not really seem well optimized with on page factors.

Try using the seomoz on page grader tool to increase your page relevancy.

I would add some content to these pages to help differentiate. None of them are text heavy so it may be hard for spiders to see a difference. Add a summary, maybe a text translation of what is in the vids, etc

use it naturally. i just write and dont go out of my way to stuff the keyword into the content in an unnatural way. however on a long page i would say no more than 10 times. and i mean a long page not just a couple paragraphs.

and stop words seem to depend on the context. some keywords naturally include stop words while others just have it in there depending on how a user types.

search engines will ignore to a degree

Your best bet is to do a 301 redirect on it.

I would look at OSE to see which one has a higher PA and more links and redirect the other to it.

Also redirect the www or the non www to a single destination.

Half the pages on there have closed comments or are nofollow. Ive never seen a tool or software that guarantees Dofollow links that actually works.

Another question - is when I have used those find do follow tools I often find .edu pages but there will be hundreds of comments with spammed links cause of its weight. If I find a edu or non edu page with tons of links like that is it even worth my time to try commenting on it?

Is this still a good way of getting backlinks? I do not plan on making it my only method. Most of my backlinking is done through content creation, press releases, and guest blogging.

But looking for some variety in there that can be done quicker.

Is it even worth the time or are the links too spammy now?

If I did I would actually hand build the links and comment to the article.

From the looks of things you have several poor seo methods in place.

Defo looks like you bought links. OSE has your page with thousands of links, most of which are unrelated, highly keyword dense, on sites that are filled with links going out.

And using content that you copied can also impact you poorly. Most likely you got penalized.

I know that as a search user if I typed in any of those keywords and found your site I would be upset that your page appeared and would leave and find something else. So Google probably saw that as well.

i thumbed you up. But it was a phone verification pin. Havent had any errors. Should I possible delete the entire listing and just restart?
