    Getting the URLs from htaccess rewriterule

    You should just be able to copy and paste all the URLs into a spreadsheet and have all the URLs end up in unique cells. You could then use a formula in excel to separate the URLs (assuming they didn't automatically go into their own cells when you paste them in the spreadsheet). I haven't...

    Rankings drop after domain change

    Other members all have good points. If it's only been two weeks you definitely need to give it more time. I've seen it take months for the dust to settle and I've also seen it happen more quickly. In general the more authoritative the site was to begin with, the faster the wrinkles get ironed...

    ahrefs.com subscription any useful?

    The strength with ahrefs is with link analysis. If you aren't doing much of that then it's probably not worth continuing to pay for (but if you got it as a gift the keyword tools and other features are pretty good). Their strong point though has always been link analysis. They have that down...

    how should you do it for SEO: domain.com/blog or blog.domain.com?

    There are very few benefits to doing it on a sub-domain and a lot of benefits to building out your blog in a sub-directory of your existing site.

    Where to get free articles

    This is a pretty low-life strategy but if you are in need of free AND good content, you could always place an ad on craigslist or a similar site looking for writers and then require a 300-500 word sample on the topic you need it on. I'm sure you would get at least a few submissions. Kind of...

    Get my portfolio website to a better rank

    A good place to start would be adding some content relevant to the keyword phrase you are trying to rank for. Beyond that, start pointing links a the site. Build as many as you can but try to make links that are coming from other authoritative (or at least reputable) websites. "Building...

    Was asked for help to rank a Weebly site? Any advice would be great...

    While you are limited for the onsite stuff, the true impact is going to be with links you build to the site. A combination of relevant content and a good supply of high quality links and you should be able to make the site perform well. Platform shouldn't matter all that much. So do as much as...

    Help Me with Ad Code in Wordpress

    One more thing. If you paste your code on an <a> tag, it should look like this <a href="/destination/url" target="_blank" onClick="exoMobilePop();">Your Link Text</a>

    Help Me with Ad Code in Wordpress

    You place it in an <a> tag like it says at the bottom of your example. You can place an onClick event in a variety of different HTML elements. For example on a button <button onClick="yourfunction"></button> or on a div <div onClick="yourFunction"></div> or on the <a> tag. Find the button or...

    iFrame embeded videos on WordPress and SEO

    You could also transcribe the videos and put that content on the page with each video. That's a great way to re-purpose content or (in your case) get index-able content on the page. Hope that helps

    Report after delivering Site to customer..

    Same here. Client should know what is happening before any work begins via a proposal and then you can walk them through that on completion. For web design/programming, there isn't really going to be a report like there is with marketing/SEO work. There's the tasks that need to get done in...
