    Need help to not Mess Up a Website Refresh

    I am updating a company website - we have over 600 blog posts stretching back to 2007. We are trying to stay in budget with the developer and so must cut some blog posts out. I'm looking at a budget that only allows us to bring about 200 over. So I am redirecting all the upcoming event posts...

    Deranking a single page?

    I have a page on a client's site that continually bring in a lot of traffic. It was originally created in 2009 as click bait and had the word "free" in it. It still gets a lot of organic traffic, which is great, but these visitors aren't doing anything else on the site. We've tried in article...

    Most Accurate Conversion Tracking Software?

    I've been trying to track email conversions via Act-On forms and verifying with Google Analytics thank you page but as you can imagine - one of the problems is our own testing (I've excluded IP addresses in filters). Is there any program that could track this?

    Affordable SEO Software?

    Thanks - yes I think you're right. No one here cares about ranking - rather they care about the right kind of traffic - very specific. There are a lot of things I don't use within the purchased tools I have simply because I don't need to. I prob could accomplish much the same with Excel. Thanks...

    Affordable SEO Software?

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I like SEO Powersuite and it's not very expensive in the grand scheme of things - my company is looking to cut costs however - so it's going out. I haven't used the meta keywords tag so I'll have to learn about that. What do you use, if you don't mind me asking, for...

    Affordable SEO Software?

    Hi - was using SEO Powersuite and liked its backlink and keyword tools. However, in addition to the license fee they charge they also have a monthly fee for updating their algo. It comes to about $1000 a year but that is too much for the company I work for now. Is there anything out there that...

    Listing Indexed Pages In Excel

    I have a site that's migrating and completely changing navigation. It has really good organic traffic so naturally I'm trying to be extra careful I don't screw that up. I want to make sure I get all the indexed pages and do a 301 redirect for each. I know you can pull the first 1000 listings...

    Confused about domain history and bad link impact

    Hello all, I'm looking at the history of a domain. The domain itself has decent links. However, it was owned by a different owner whose domain has really bad links - blatantly poor links. Does this have any chance to carry over into my client's good domain? Was that even a clear question...

    2 Months to Prove ROI for SEO - Best White Hat Tactics?

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm used to dealing with a six month time frame to show ROI. Believe me I did not sign up for this. Over zealous sales person. This guy also promised a completely new website to a different potential client consisting of over 600 pages of content for $500. THAT I was...

    Hi all, I'm used to doing SEO with on page optimization, content building etc. But through circumstances out of my control I'm being asked to prove the SEO ROI for a client that just launched within 2-3 months. Content building is slow going - at a rate of 2 pages per week. In addition I'm...
