    Working for an SEO agency - what would happen if I temporarily linked to my website from theirs?

    I work for an SEO company that has a high PA/DA website. I want to start my own agency though. I think this would be a horrible idea, but the idea came into my head to hide a link from their website to mine, just for a little while. Even moreso, our company has access to 20+ websites that I...

    Pages with just an iframe on their website - bad for SEO?

    This website has some pages that are just iframes. (An iframe for the header and an iframe for the page). I'm wondering if this is hurting their SEO. These pages don't have H1 tags, they don't have content, and there are probably some other things I'm not thinking of. So, are these pages fine...

    How safe is buying Google reviews for a legitimate business?

    There is a legitimate business that does not have many Google reviews, however it shows up first on the local pack when looking up its' keyword. It's sure that purchasing reviews would increase the amount of calls it gets, but how safe is doing so? Things that are being considered Google is...

    The US health insurance system is so backwards

    I see people rant about stupid stuff here on the lounge a lot so here goes haha. I was living in California but I have a disability and I wasn't earning any money so I moved into a different state with my friend where it was cheaper to live. So I apply for health care and I find out that state...

    My website comes up on the first page of google for a keyword, but nowhere for my website name?

    I have the keyword I'm targeting in my website name. I finally got to the first page when you search up my keyword. But, when you search up my website name, my website doesn't come up in the results. Lots of signals come up, (yelp, etc..), and on the right side of the page it has information...

    Something very weird is going on with PRWhirlWind's press release distribution service.

    Okay so this is getting really weird. I ordered a Press Release distribution service from a vendor on here, and I got back a report of the websites that picked it up. The report said that 325 websites picked it up. I was a little bit confused at the results because half them were on the same...

    I got the results of a press release distribution back, are most of these links fake?

    I just bought a press release, it was a package that said it would be distributed to 200+ news networks. I got the report back saying it was picked up by 325 different networks, but I'm a bit confused by it all. First off, I noticed a lot of the news networks were from the same domain. For...

    Could a not-so-relevant press release with a link at the end of it hurt for SEO?

    I distributed a press release that wasn't 100% relevant to my niche, but also talked about my niche. While I was a new website, I was showing up on the first page for my keyword before I did it. That happened a few days before distributing the press release. Now two days after distributing the...

    Is it bad to try to have my website target too many keywords at once?

    I have a list of main keywords and long tail keywords that I potentially want to target. The idea would be to have a separate page for each keyword, then the associated long tail keywords would be in the pages as well. I don't know if it will look weird to google if I'm trying to target almost...

    How much is a backlink worth on an actual blog with 43 DA?

    I messaged this blog asking if they would be interested in featuring me in an article, they said they could have an article submitted that would have up to 3 do-follow links in it for $70. It's an actual blog, but I still think that's a little steep. I don't know if this is a bargaining...

    Vote: It's 2018, should you try to manually index backlinks, or let Google find them on it's own?

    I am seeing all these methods on how you can index your backlinks on Google. A lot of people are saying to blast them, or to submit them to google. A lot of people are saying it will work much better if you leave them alone. What are your opinions, what is your method, and why?

    I never understood why companies pay for PPC ads for a keyword matching their company name.

    All the time I see it on Google, if I search up a specific company name an ad comes up on google before their natural listing. If I'm looking up for the company, it's not going to help having your result twice in a row. Here are just four random examples I found lol Maybe it's so I don't go...

    Would it be bad to use structured data to give my local business 5 stars?

    I am looking into structured data and it seems really simple to give your website 5 stars in the results. I'm wondering if it would be bad to do this with the landing page of my local business? I think it would increase clickthrough rates, but I'm not sure if I would be penalized by google or...

    Does structured data replace your listing?

    I just noticed that if you search for my direct website name my website doesn't come up, but it does have my business on the right in a structured data card with a "Visit Website" button. Am I just for some reason not ranking for my own website name or does that structured data replace my...

    How to rank my Yelp page on Google for local SEO?

    Hey guys, I was researching my keyword going through the results to see how behind I was, and as I scrolled past a Yelp page an idea came to me. I wonder if it would be easier to rank my Yelp page on the first page of Google, seeing that it already has tons of DA. Then, as I continued to think...

    Hey guys, I am adding my website to a bunch of directory listings. I already am on some, and a few are dufollo. The problem is, Google still says I have no inbound links. I tried finding the directory listing on Google and it's just not there. Am I able to make a sitemap of external websites...

    Moz Toolbar says my website is in Canada but it's not

    Hey everyone, I have a problem that I'm not even sure is a real problem. I have a website that is for a business located in the US. In the meta tags I have both geo tags stating my Region, my Placename, and both GEO and ICBM tags stating my coordinates. In addition to that, the website is...

    I got a call from an SEO company saying "We're submitting your website to be on the top of Google.."

    I have been submitting my website to some business directories since Google likes to see that. In doing so, a few of those directories are calling me trying to offer me services or get me to pay for advertising. I got a call from an SEO company and, well here is how the conversation went. Them...

    How to get Google Business reviews?

    I am now listed on Google Business, but the listing does not have any reviews. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get reviews for a new local business just starting out? I assume that's something they regulate strongly, so I would assume having a majority of reviews by new or non-local...
