In-house SEO for dummies
-
I'm doing some SEO for a small company and they have a guy available to 'assist' me, but he isn't very SEO savvy. Also english isn't his first language.
If he could do 5-10 hours per week to help, and you were me, what sort of stuff would you show/teach him to do?
Thanks!

Hey Sven,
Thanks these are some good ideas!
Just got to try and keep his 5-10 hours full, shouldn't be too hard, fingers crossed!

Hi Tim,
These are the first things that came to mind:
-
Find blogs about a specific topic, write down the PA and email address of owner.
-
Find link directories relevant to your website, write down PA and email address of owner.
-
Get keyword difficulty data for a list of 1000 keywords.
-
Crawl website for 404's and give cms access to fix broken links
Goodluck and let us know how it works out!

Yeah good thought, but unfortunately the guy is kinda new there too! ha
Im also thinking content creation probably isn't his strong suit.
Any other ideas?

Hi timscullin
This is not an easy question... If I were you, probably focused on info about company. If that guy knows how the company works and who are the targeted customers, in his opinion.
Maybe he can help you to write about the company, and probably you'll be able to write content for landing pages more easily.
In fact, you must to see and decided how could that guy help me?
I hope this answered help you.

Does redirected traffic still contribute to SEO?
My company recently rebranded with a new website (and comparatively lower authority). We've built a bunch of backlinks for our old website, which now redirect to the new one, and I was wondering if these still contribute to SEO? Is there a difference in the SEO effect of a direct link versus a redirected one?

Local SEO Help
Getting confused about what is helpful. I have a few questions. Is it beneficial to link to other sites like wikipedia from our main url or our wp hosted blog? Does that help our SERP? We have just built a new sitemap for our site, which is good, we didn't have one before. Should I still do internal linking? 3)If I can get a person with another blog to link to us, would it better to get it in a post or on their main page with a button or text listing? Thanks everyone:) I am just trying to figure out how to spend my time wisely here.

SEO companies
So prior to joining SEOmoz I have tried a few seo companies and had somewhat decent results. All of these companies did things like: directory submissions

social bookmarking
social profiles
blog comments
article syndication
press release and so forth. These things that they were doing worked and improved the rankings of my websites in the serps. After some time and research I figured out that all this stuff was easy to do and that I could do these things myself. After joining SEOmoz I come to find that these types of links are not considered high quality because they are easy to acquire. Some of you may even say that they are the basis of a spammy link profile. My question is why would you not want to do these things if they work and all of your competition is using these strategies, including big name brand companies?0 -

Parameter In URL passing SEO Value
Helllo I need help understanding the following scenario. We do campaign tracking for number of our sites using urt parameters. These are normally PR links with utm parameters. I am not sure if we should remove the utm parameter and forget about tracking the links completely if it offers an added SEO value with direct links OR we just keep using utm parameters for PR tracking and use canonical tag instead on respective pages. For me SEO value is most important. But i am trying to understand what i am losing or gaining. Kindly sugggest Thanks

Ever Get disillusioned with SEO
Many times now we have pushed certain keywords for homepage listings but we have found the traffic levels to be very poor and many cases first page listings turn out to be vanity. The frustrating thing is that sometimes we have to tell some of our SEO customers that in order to get a good market share for there industry they will always have to do google adwords. What are your thoughts on this . Thanks
