This is why I hate Bounce Rate and it's focused on way too heavily by people. Instead we should focus on dwell time and increasing time on page. You're right, if you never leave the page because you find the answer immediately, then that in my mind is the best possible score of content...

Search Engine Land reported / Sistrix just released data after analyzing 300 tracked websites. A primary finding was: "…advertisement, outdated, thin and scraped content, as well as incomprehensible articles made up of 300 word ‘SEO texts’ pumped to the brim with main keyword mentions and void...

Like others said, guest posting still works if you can make sure it's high enough quality and the site isn't full of garbage guest posts. SEO is all about time and energy. Make your site an amazing resource and it will generate links naturally. Get into your industry with social accounts, find...

Go to Moz, read the beginners guide to SEO and some of the other one's there, or search onsite optimization here. Controlling onpage is always where you should start. It's 100% in your control.

Grandparents got hit hard. Gas prices are lower which makes me happy. Personally, I think the next thing that will hit a bubble and collapse is higher education. Look at these student loans they are getting out of control, with their original intention to just be ways to help "aid" students to...

Saw this earlier and got excited, then I realized I just watch them on free streaming sites with videos hosted whoknowswhere

Great advice Wetkon. When you're on the marketing side, you just need to put yourself in the searchers shoes instead of getting wrapped up in the exact match keywords that don't flow well. How would you search for that keyword. If you can get actual people to do it, it's even better because it...

If you pay, CopyScape will also allow you to post in the article into their scanner. Credits are pretty cheap. The other option with quotes is also very effective if you want a free option.

Well said. Sometimes we get wrapped up in the craziness thinking that everything has to be completed in one month to start generating x-amount of a dollars or leads. Make SMART goals and stick to them and make sure you focus on the "realistic" part.

All nofollow of course, but could help in sprinkling in some for a more natural looking backlink profile.

They both have their positive and negatives of course, by I prefer MozPro, as it also has options to get Followerwonk and you can discover new backlinks in real time if people share them on social media without you knowing. Majestic is another tools which has the largest number of indexed...

I'd be careful with PBN's as they are continually getting better at figuring them out, and you would risk getting your clients site flagged for having these types of 'paid' backlinks. The best way to rank for long tail keywords to bring in more traffic would be to update their blog frequently...

That's a small budget for white-hat SEO, but if you didn't care about your own "time" I'd focus on article marketing, infographic pushing, or high quality guest posting with anonymous posts if possible. Also, I agree with the post above about doing whatever it takes to prove that you are real...

The problem with keeping your blog updated most times comes to motivation. You're only going to be motivated in the long-run if you either outsource the content, or stick to topics that interest you. What in technology in your same niche interests you? Focus on those and create articles around...

I thought we definitely would have seen it roll out over this long weekend starting on this past Friday, but I guess not. A Google rep though confirmed if they saw any bugs upon initial testings that it would be delayed.

Keep a watchful eye on what your audience shares and likes the most. Is it game reviews? Is it cheats or codes? Use this information and do more of it, say 75% this and the rest of your topics will be supplementing articles. Also, definitely stay towards quality for long-term growth and...

If it's variations of the same product, but in different sizes or colors for example, you should make one page or post a complete resource on that widget. All encompassing so that when the users visits that page, they can find everything they need to know about it thus increasing the user...

I think as Google's local algo continues to evolve that you would also benefit substantially by not only doing citations, but also networking with others in that area and trying to obtain links on relevant industry business sites, news sites, and/or casual blogs. Yes it's harder to do, but the...

This is a known issue right now being reported by many webmasters. Even a permanent 301 redirect does experience some decay of authority being passed through so it's best just to stay the course. Google has allowed a grace period for problems with 404 pages, etc. while webmasters make the...
