Thanks for the reply. I have a really strong understanding of internal linking, what I'm asking about is more specifically link sculpting. Most of the time no follow's are reserved for external links, however, looking at my keyword clouds I see phrases like "Learn More" "View More" etc pop up...

So it's been said that Google is cracking down on link sculpting. What determines good link sculpting vs bad link sculpting? For instance, let's say I have a call to action on my web page that says "Learn More" and links to an inner page. On the same page I have a rich text link that does the...

So Google is cracking down on the obvious PBN's, looking through threads on this very site some of the services that were previously effective have the OP running because they've been deindex'd. Up until now I've very much been a white hat only guy. Building clean, well optimized websites and...

Thanks for the replies in here guys, for those who are just writing "all websites are different" or "there's no ideal set up" I'm aware that this industry is subjective in some regards. As a web designer and developer, I get that there are many ways to "skin a cat" so to speak. What I'm...

I'm definitely aware there's quite a bit of trial and error involved with this line of work, but there are definitely some clear cut industry tools that excel beyond others. For instance, when it comes to backlink reporting there's the big 4 that I can think of: Majestic SEO, aHrefs, Opensite...

What features in particular do you really like about Majestic?

From what I understand an SEO's job is part smarts, part resources and part tools. For the "part tools" what are the ideal tools and subscriptions to use? From link building, to back-link reporting, to rank tracking and everything else, what would be your ideal combination of SEO tools?

Thanks for all the replies guys! How would one go about balancing out their trust flow? For my website in particular, we were recently featured on several japanese/chinese "inspiration" websites that bled from being featured on a larger web design award website. Since then, I saw a jump in...

So would you say it's worth the investment in their monthly program or can good insights be made on improving trust flow without it?

So would you say investing in Majestic would be worthwhile based on their advanced site analytics regarding Trust Flow? Additionally, what number should you be shooting for when it comes to TF? Is a 1:1 ideal? Right now my sites trust flow is a 24, however it's citation flow is a 44. I'm...

When running a site analysis through Majestic SEO they spit out a trust number and a citation number. Is the trust number really all that effective / purposeful for determining a websites overall authority? How do you weigh that against other factors when preforming your SEO campaign?

One thing I haven't noticed anyone say here, but I've experienced it many times especially with larger sites: Spyglass crashes. I'm running a brand new imac with a T3 internet connection in my office and it still manages to freeze up and die. In my opinion, it's a great tool to use for an...

Your word count and density are only relevant based on your niche, and what's being spoken about. Optimize your website for users first and search engines second. Google is trying to mimmic user needs and wants, building your on-site factors to match what users want is your best bet moving...

Set up a squeeze page or a alternate URL for the ad (instead of directing a blanket to your website) and install some sort of heat mapping software (check out Crazy Egg). Track what people from that traffic source are doing and make some improvements based on that data. 192% ROI On your initial...

Haven't noticed much change on my site, but our results aren't really gamed at all so I can't imagine we would be hit with a penalty. I think there will be at least a couple of days before they hammer drops.
