Strengthening my personal coaching site
-
Hello,
My domain for my personal coaching site is my name
bobweikel(dot)com
and I think this is weak for all of my keywords, but I'm sticking with it.
What's some of the easiest way I could gain strength with national keywords so that people will pursue phone coaching with me, terms like
nlp coach
wealth and success coach
wealth coach
personal coach
life coach
I know that these are varying greatly in competitiveness.
Thanks!

Thanks Everyone! I'll develop some stellar content.

Hi Bob
Some great advice from the guys already.
Don't be overly concerned about your domain name, exact match domains don't carry as much SEO weight as they used to. Is more important to have a clear, logical URL structure that compliments your content strategy.
As the others have said, focus on creating and distributing fantastic content, that's unique, fresh, topically relevant, interesting, Valuable content and distribute it via all appropriate methods, such as social, universities...
Becoming an Authoritive figure on your topics of speciality is key, try some guest blogging also and participate in relevant forums.
Regards
Simon

I didn't even check how competitive it was, but good point!

I agree with Ressler.... publish something that is so fantastically popular that it is tweeted, liked, blogged, emailed and talked about by everyone on the web.
I think that you will need to do this multiple times to rank at the top of google for some of your keywords.

Write the be all end all resource for each of those topics, citing your sources (as long as they have a high authority level). Don't try sell yourself within the article, just write it about the topic. Then, ask other people in your field to review your resource, and see if they would suggest making any changes. After you have made a couple alterations, ask them if they would link to your resource from their website.
Then, do some "inurl:".edu" life coaching" searches to see if there are any universities talking about the subject. Send an email to a professor in that department asking them to link to your resource.
Don't focus too much on exact keyword match, just get them to link to it.
These deep links will help with your overall domain authority, which puts you at an edge to rank overall.

Am I better off with ten links from one site or one link from ten sites?
I am writing a series of linked-back articles for a highly-ranked web publisher, but wonder if I'd be better off sharing the articles across different sites. My goal is to grow our domain authority and SEO rankings.

Link Building in Person
Someone answered me on Google plus but just to confirm. If I have a pet shop in one city and ranking well local. But want to rank even better in the surrounding cities. Is it a good idea to go to different pet shops in different cities and asked to trade links and help each other out . Will that be beneficial for my pet shop or not?

Will our website traffic be adversely affected by Google by allowiing other sites to post our content on their sites?
Hi, We're a radio station posting original content each day. We belong to a sector of similar radio stations. It's been proposed that we all contribute content to this group

so any radio station can grab this content and post it on their own websites. As the site with the most content and web traffic, could this potentially harm us?1 -
Site scraped/Backlink problem?
Hi - I was looking in my Google webmaster tools because we saw a huge jump in backlinks last week. We found this one article with 84,475 total links, which obviously stands out as spam. All the links are from 1 page and 1 domain (financeai.com). This is the article on our website - http://loyalty360.org/resources/article/engaging-customer-atmosphere-at-pizza-patron and webmaster tools says all the links back to it come from this page http://financeai.com/forex/mxn/pkr/q/39665 My question is - should we/what can we do to clean this up? How does this impact our search ranking? We have had some issues with our website getting extremely slow overnight, and we believe the site scraping is really slowing down the site at points. Thanks.

Nofollow advertisers with high value sites
A site with a high PA/DA links to all of their advertisers on their home page using nofollow. The advertisers generally have high quality sites and none of them are spammy. Having read this forum for the past couple months, it is my understanding that nofollow should be used to control spam links, and is commonly used in the forum section where site owners can not control or vouch for the outgoing links. However, as I understand the topic, there is no benefit to using nofollow for high value sites for which you can recommend, and in particular, when the site is receiving money from the advertisers. The link juice is divided by all the links on the page, both follow and nofollow, and the juice for the nofollow is discarded. I ask this question because we are one of the advertisers on the site. I want to contact them about this issue, and request that they remove the nofollow from the advertiser links. Comments? Best,
