Search results

I've been doing SEO for 10+ years, and I'm noticing it's getting harder to increase the rank of local businesses like roofers, HVAC, etc. I used to get good results from PBN rentals on high-quality networks, but I'm noticing the results are no longer good. I won't name names, but I'm giving...

Does anyone pay the $250/mo or $449/mo Ahrefs plan here? I got a question about usages

If you look at any vendor backlink page you will see a nice graphic design displaying the prices. Everyone seems to have very professional-looking designs. Is there someone here that they all go to for these designs? I would like to get something similar created for a holiday-themed roofing...

I understand that the UR Rating in Ahrefs is a proprietary metric they created but I was wondering if you know of a similar type URL batch analysis tool. The batch analysis in Ahrefs is just so expensive. It's $199/mo for 600 searches/mo. I remember the days when this feature was unlimited on...

A while back I would gauge the quality of a guest post service by the ahrefs traffic metrics that the site receives. So if the site ranks for keywords and gets traffic then google must like them right? Well this strategy is no longer working for me to find a quality vendor. For example I see a...

I just downloaded a new plugin to control my WP sitemap, its called Google XML Sitemaps Generator. I set it up to include/exclude the settings below. Today I noticed ahrefs gave me an alert that said one of my pages were no follow. I see its site.com/2024/01 which im guessing is some archive...

I'm noticing guest post sites are being decimated in the search results. If you are in the market for guest posts and run them through ahrefs before buying you will notice the keywords the site ranks for are dropping hard in a clear trend down. Huge sites that had 100's or 1000's of 1-3 top...

When I contact vendors and ask for home improvement guest post examples I notice a lot of the sites are continuously losing rankings. To me it shows the site was hit by some kind of penalty and the rankings will continue to drop. Long ago we used to call this a "toxic backlink", though times...

I am in the process of upgrading my blog posts. To do this i'm trying different content research sites like SEOsurfer and marketmuse. I just so happen to search a keyword that im ranking for and noticed marketmuse thinks my page has 9,892 words. I thought this was kind of strange since the blog...

I'm noticing a lot of blog posts that are ranking for keywords im targeting are structured like site.com/blog/blog-post. Not all of course. But that made me think, would I get better results if I add "/blog/" to the URL? What do you do with your blog posts and why? Has anyone done research into...

I do SEO for a roofing company and have been creating blog posts for over a year. I would hire someone on upwork for $20 to create me a blog post. It was 800 words, and included multiple stock images that I get from depositphoto. I kept doing this because that is what SEOers said to do, just...

I manage a roofing co. website located in Florida. Ahrefs Stats: Ref domains: 322 --- Keywords: 367 --- Traffic: 231 ($1,600 value) I'm looking to collaborate with someone to do a high-quality guest post for each of our websites. My requirements for accepting the swap; your site: Must be a...

I'm thinking about signing up for HARO (help a reporter out) I was wondering if anyone had success using HARO for contractors? My client is a top-rated roofing company in Florida (500+ 5-star google reviews) and I have created a nice website for them. So I believe I would be able to at least...

On my local service business website I have 72 pages indexed and 432 not indexed. https://prnt.sc/dYJLZwKgg4tR The "Crawled - currently not indexed" pages keep slowly increasing when looking in my google search console. It appears to be 90% of my blog posts, and even some of the blog URLs like...

I'd like to start bulking up some of my guest posts by sending some backlinks to them (tier 2). I want to find a cheap service that can send decent backlinks (im thinking relevant web 2.0s, or PBNs). I tried 3 cheap services so far and the PBN backlinks were just so terrible. My anchors were...

My client is a roofer and we are positioned great in our local map area where the biz is located. However, he lives about 30 miles (3 cities away) so he wants me to create a new GMB listing and for the location have his home address. That way we become visible in that new area. Can I use the...

I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of backlink vendors and the hundreds of pages per thread. I can't afford to trial & error different niche edit/guest post vendors so I was wondering if you can post which vendors you found moved the needle without spending $300+ per backlink. My...

I rarely buy PBN links, but when I do they are rented monthly subscription PBN links because they are links that don't roll off the homepage and I like to have only 10+- PBNs as a part of my backlink profile. I may switch from my current provider so I'm wondering if someone can share with me...

So I recently had some competition come out of nowhere and I'm not sure what they are doing. Their main URL is ranking extremely well and what most confuses me is how well their blog posts rank with only 21 backlinks...

I'm thinking about buying some expired web 2.0s with high PA and redesigning them to a home improvement blogs to then create articles linking to my money sites and other guest posts I have done. Question, if I have 10+ web 2.0s how can I consistently publish articles to them without leaving...
