    Hi Guys

    Just curious to hear what you guys do to rank blog posts in the top in Google especially onsite, after the RankBrain update? Do you still use SEO tools to optimize this or are the SEO tools outdated for this? If yes which tools do you use to get success with?

    Cheers

    John

      I am also doing SEO using rank brain psychology. The website is totally based on the Panda helper.

      Other things that I want to mention are mcdvoice con, iosemus, blacksheep and hipstore.

      Can I track the ranking when applying for rankbrain technique.

              SEO tools are still invaluable.  There is dozens of factors that you have to get right, so seo tools audit your site and keep you informed.  Tech is more complicated than people think, an update breaks something etc etc.   So seo tools have there place.  That said marketing and seo are merging, so that is another factor.  The starting point is x10 content then optimising and creating shareable content.

              Hope that helps.

                Thanks Don. So to give you more details, we want to rank for popular keyword phrases for a specific topic.  So my question is whether you really need an SEO tool nowadays to check for keyword density, how many times the phrase was used etc

                Isn't the key to focus on the user first and less so optimizing based on these seo tools.

                  It is too broad a question to answer in detail.  Rank Brain is about optimising the customer experience etc. So the best starting point is the quality of content.

                  This is still a great WBF on content - that will cover any rank brain concerns..

                  https://moz.com/blog/how-to-create-10x-content-whiteboard-friday

                  So, in short, yes, we still use plenty of tools, from GA to Moz, and many more.

                  Hope that helps.

                    Using Brand value for SEO: Can we use keyword with brand name?

                    Hi Moz community, I am curious to know this. Let's say there is a brand value for a company. It has it's own popularity that it's been mentioned across the internet and social media directly with brand name without their service or industry keyword. Now if the company started promoting themselves like keyword along with their brand name, will it help them to rank for that keyword. For example, Moz is already famous, now they want to rank for "SEO" and related keywords, so they started calling themselves on internet "Moz SEO"; will this fetch them in ranking for keyword SEO? My ultimate question is, using primary keyword along with brand name will work out in ranking for that primary keyword or not? Thanks

                    Hello friends, I have 2 android niche sites, one site is running on a technology dropped domain i catch 1 year ago it has, almost 400+ domains linking to different parts of the site, the other one i established from scratch and both are running from jan 2015. Now i want to redirect first site which already has 400 links pointing towards it to the home page of my 2nd android site. Is it a good idea to do so and does it give any boost in terms of seo?

                    Old school SEO tools / software / websites

                    Hey Mozzers, I am doing some research and wonder if you can help me out? Before Moz, Hubspot, Majestic, Screaming Frog and all the other awesome SEO tools we use today what were the SEO tools / software / websites that were used for aiding SEO? I guess we can add the recently closed Yahoo! Directory for starters! Thanks!

                    Republish An Updated Blog or not?

                    We need to update one of our older posts (a new federal ruling came down that now applies) but do I just update it or should I republish it? I know that just republishing something that hasn't been changed, can get you  flagged, but if it's an update, I would think that would be appropriate to republish. I'd just like some guidance before I proceed. Thanks and Happy Friday! Ruben

                    With regards to SEO is it good or bad to remove all the old events from our website?

                    Our website sells tickets for various events across the UK, we do have a LOT of old event pages on our website which simply say SOLD OUT. What is the best practice? Should these event pages be removed and a 301 redirect added to redirect to the home page? Or should these pages remain in tact with simply SOLD OUT on the page?

                    Will Parked Domain hurt My SEO as Duplicate Content?

                    Hello, I have one website (Migration Lawyers) and I have an extra 8 domains Parked so they are basically cloning the content of the site. so if the main site is:  migrationlawyers.co.za and I have an addon domain  migration-lawyers.com  is that good or bad? is there a proper way to redirect the sites, will redirecting (301) subdomains be more effective? Thanks for your Input 🙂 0i8VXqr.png

                    Top 5 most optimized websites

                    Throwing this question out to the community but was wondering if anyone can direct me on how I can find the top 5 or 10 ten sites that have been most optimized for search engines. Meaning which web sites have the best reputation when it comes to website optimization for search engines or is there a resource where I can read about websites that have been ranked as the best when it comes to following best practices and have constantly ranked well within their industry? Figured it's always a good idea to learn from the best by looking at what they are doing. Thank you.

                    Singular vs plural SEO

                    Hi everyone, OK I've been looking at the Google adwords keyword tool and it's thrown some of my On-page SEO into question (everything said here are examples, I haven't used any real life terms or figures). Lets say my page is about "Green Apples", let's say the keyword tool shows that the singular version "Green Apple" gets more searches (as an example). Should I optimize for the singular or the plural? Also lets say my title tag for that page is "Green Apples | Apples Galore UK" would Google/SEOmoz count that as an optimisation for the singular "Green Apple" or do the search engines take the title literally and don't differenciate between singular and plurals? Thanks in advance everyone! Regards, Ash
