If you post for "insurance companies" on G or B, you will see the phrase attached to their title tag "Official Site". Searching through the source codes of these sites, no where can I find "official site." These are G's and B's arbitrary additions of course. Search DuckDuck, and you won't see...

I was able to rank sites easily a year ago but am having lots of trouble with new sites. This is what I've been doing with brand new sites (no redirects). week 1: build site, 8 pages. over 2500 words in total. KW around 2% plus some variation (i.e. chicago plumbers, chicago plumbing company...

Some people say yes, some no, some say "sometimes". I just got the unnatural - impact links penalty. From my understanding, this is a new kind of penalty that is supposedly only supposed to devalue links. Well, it devalues more than your links. My sites are off the map and when you search my...

im tired of link building. im starting to think its a terrible roi. and of course its risky. it wrk but i just wonder : most of us who build quality links also do everything else related to ranking. i wonder if its that 'everything else'thats really responsible for progress in serps. ranking...

Also, is anybody in this niche here? How tough is it to make sales outside of etsy and ebay?

I have a website called (example) "www.midtownplumberschicago.com". The name of my company is "midtown plumbers". I'm trying to build lots of brand anchors. Should any of them be "Midtown Plumbers Chicago", or should they all be "Midtown Plumbers"? Note: there already are other...

Overview: I have 2 main sites in the same niche (i.e. plumbers los angeles) that sit on top first page, then other 12 sites in same service niche, but slightly different area (i.e. plumbers long beach, plumbers santa monica, etc). Each of the "other" sites has 1 link to one of my two main sites...

its a bitch to create mass amounts of well written unique content daily. how is this for an idea: find a book at the library, preferably out of print, non fiction, well written and unknown. google to make sure none of the book's content is indexed by google. then, transcribe 500 words out of the...

Which factors do they use to rank your business? It's very strange, there are companies in my service niche that have 100s of legit reviews and aren't seen until the second page. Then there are some unlicensed, 3.5 star companies with 10 or so reviews, a 2 year old yelp page, who are ranked in...

I'm wondering if somebody could help me out. I'm trying to find out exactly which platforms I should use for my 30 blogs. Also, how many of these can be Wordpress? I would like them all to be WP, but that's not good right? Thank you for helping out a newbie

If the search engines want to know what your page is about, they would just have to read the content of your site including the KWs within. It seems redundant to put "plumbers chicago" in an anchor text of backlink when it says "plumbers chicago" already on my home page. It's obvious what my...

Yelp has dominated local serps for a while now, today it got even worse for me. For my KW "[insert a Local Service] [insert Big City]", various yelp pages have the top 3 positions. Anyone else experiencing this frustration? I've been building lots and lots "quality" links for months now - I...

But, I certainly would never post an honest review in their threads, unless I had something good to say. You piss one of these arrogant kids off and there's no guarantee they won't send 10,000 shitty links at your site to get back at you. I have had some really effective link building done, but...

Hi, I have a plumbing company in LA. My main site is about 4 years old, PR2. Ranked 3 thru 14 for five main KWs. About 6 months ago I created 10 other sites optimized for people seaching for plumbers in other parts of so-cal. i.e. santamonicaplumbing dot com, hollywoodpplumbing dot com. and so...

Many of the services that initially build 2.0s will send about 1k or so links to them. Is it beneficial/important to continue to push links to them? How much link building do I need to do per month, and what kind of links? Automation, is it OK? The goal is to increase the 2.0's Page Rank...

Spend a whole bunch of money, mainly. About 80% of my 2k keywords are now 10/10.

I have a website for a local service in a big city. For the 5 most competitive KWS I'm not in the 7 pack. Instead, I fluctuate between positions 2 and 6 (page 1) for the organic results. I have been doing a blog once a week. Is this even necessary? Besides creating landing pages for less...

Now it's integrated into google +1, which I'm sure will mean, if I don't have a large circle, my review will do little to boost my google places rank. Does anybody have any ideas (I know it's soon) how to game the new format? Like reg and age +1 accounts, send friend/follow requests to 100s of...

I have a home service in a big US city. I just made a 5 page (5x500 word articles, keywords, meta description/title) wordpress site, which has a 2-day old url. I've created site map and submitted to webmaster tools. I already know about place pages, so I'm only curious about where I go from here...

So if it's true that quality score is largely determined by CTR in comprison to your competition, I was thinking of giving the other businesses about 30 impressions for each of the 5 main KWs (which get about 80-100 impressions a day) in my niche. If (relative) CTR is the main QS component...
