what google local search volume is enough for them to receiving actual customers from first page placements??
ex. my city + dentist = 2000.
my major city + dentist = 30,000.
so which would you go after?
low hanging fruit of a medium sized city or high volume major city????
Who says you can't go after both
Obviously smaller cities will be much easier but it can work on big cities too.
General Question: Has anyone experienced varying results on G depending on the user's browser? Also, I have experienced different results (difference of mid-first and near end of second page) depending on the city I am searching from, even when city is neighboring eachother. Any thoughts?
Yes, you'll want to make sure you check their rankings on both firefox and IE. If you see mixed results just say that you noticed they are "bouncing around from #10 to #15"
if this would really work,he wouldnt share it
he is just fishing for thanks
also they can just buy adwords for 1$ a click or less and they get more clicks and pay less cos "dentist city" doesnt get many searches anywhere, adwords is always cheaper than 1000$ / month
LOL fishing for thanks? I've been here 3 years and have 96 posts. I don't think 32 posts per year would be the mark of a post whore :ciao:
With what service(directory, articles, socia bookmarking etc) do you start when they give an order even if their key word is ranked on the second page.
More over how can we find the h1 tag and in what way its is to be modified to reach a better rank.
Bookmarking and linkwheels are usually enough, if you need to more links throw up some profile links and you should be fine. AS for the H1 tag thats easy, just search their pages html source code.
@OP - I have a noob SEO question.
Say I can rank a site for [my town] restaurant (using exact match domain) - if I then 301 redirect that to a client site will they rank in the same position? Or lower because they don't have the exact match?
If it would work then even a complete SEO newbie should be able to get a few sites ranking and make some easy $$
Don't forget to upsell either - website redesign, hosting, consulting, multiple keywords, social media are all goldmines and can easily milk a client each month for very simple tasks.
That's a good question and honestly I don't know, obviously exact match domains have a big advantage in terms of SEO and if you're doing a 301 redirect you're pretty much telling google "give all my SEO credit to this new site" so maybe?
I'm curious about how you'd do the links. To get quick results I'd assume that you'd want to pre-load some pages with backlinks and then you can do the 301 and bam - instant impact. But, how do you know what anchor text to use? Or does it not really matter since it's not pointing directly to the site? Or would you just do a buttload of general backlinks to a page with the intention of redirecting to a similar site? Ex: You'd send a bunch of "lawyer" links to one page and "dentist" links to another page and then direct that page to a site in a similar niche?
No I don't pre-load the links, I build them as they are needed. The reason I can move up so quick is because the website is already established, has trust, and is ranking for that keyword. All i'm doing is optimizing it a little more and moving it up.
Hi, great post.
I have a noob question also, that I think most people here could answer. When using a 301, do you use a different domain for each client, or just a folder for each client?
I have a folder for each client, I'm too lazy to be buying and managing that many domains
Doesn't look like anyone's brought this up -- would it make a difference if that link juice came from a .info domain? I'm not suggesting I would do it (I'm not poor enough to even consider that an option) - but would it be detrimental in any way?
I don't think a .info domain would matter because remember the 301 redirect is telling google to forward all seo credit to this new site.
